I decided a while back that I had to make a functional hookah with an erlenmeyer flask. I got up yesterday, went out and bought everything, and put it together.
That center column is a broken ski pole. Hits like a champ. Frickin' <3

Eugene! Justify the long trip by going to the Oregon Country Fair!

It's like a more low-key Burning Man, just in a forest.

Hahahaha, you called me "bro." I'm not even wearing a polo! I guess I just put on the perfect expression to warrant the title.
A lot of us native Oregonians use the term "bro" ironically, because the Californians use it too much. You probably have the same problem with all the frats up there in Michigan.

I got the whole thing from a store in town. The top part acts as a wind shield and a heat-insulating agent if you need more heat on the shisha. Frankly, I don't think it's essential, but it makes me much more comfortable having the top down when I'm moving the hookah whilst blazed as hell. That way a sundering coal won't fall out onto the floor and ruin my security deposit.
Link me to what you end up making!!!

Science is the best tool ever devised! . .Watch . .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Cd3.....yer_embedded#!
Hey, I have the same thing! Exept my flask is smaller, and the stem isnt as tall...and the cork is plastic. How did you make your cork that way? Mine busted at the side because it couldnt hold both the stem and the air tube...how did you run the mouthpeices through the cork on yours without it crumbling?
Awesomesauce! I'm glad I'm not the only one with the tenacity and excess of free time to make a novelty science hookah. <3
I slowly whittled away the holes with a leather punch on my pocket knife. It was a rather arduous process, but being as how I wanted to finish it and didn't have many tools handy, I worked through it.
If you got sharp enough metal tubing, you could probably just cut through the cork with the tubing itself...
I don't know. Mine ended up coming close to bursting at the seams, so I wrapped it in electrical tape.

Well maybe you should be coming to Oregon for this http://campfiretails.org/ so you can try it out. Oh, and meet a ton of awesome fuzzies and have the time of your life.
Shameless pitch, GET!

Naw, dude. "Fantastic" is balancing piloting, a job, and insanely good art all at the same time. But hey, if you get the time to fly down...

Posh. *Wags* I'm just proud of the little projects I throw together when they work, and I've got an academic fascination with psychopharmacology and drug culture.
Why not identify with the weed crowd? If I can help dispel the stereotypes that stoners are inherently slothful, unintelligent, and taxing to society then I'm doing the ganja community a favor! ...I guess I feel the same way about identifying with furries.

Both the colored water and the flask itself. :)

I was pouring my home brewed beers into an Erlenmeyer flask at Fur Fright and we passed that around our hookah party outside the hotel. It was awesome, and it allows you to drink the beer even when there is as much as a five inch head, which was useful for some of my more frothy brews.
Necessity is the mother of invention as they say. I have a giant zucchini I would turn into a bong if only I had some weed to use with it. I've been thinking about other fruits and veggies that would make the perfect bong in skilled hands. My younger brother knows how to do it with an apple.
Pumpkin (very seasonal) and other squash.
Bell Pepper (Already hollow though the chemical lending sweet bell pepper it's distinct flavor can be detected by the human tongue at just a few parts per billion.)
Cantaloupe or Honeydew mellon
Eggplant
Papaya
Okay I guess I expected this list to be longer.

Bell pepper. Refrigerated before use. Easily my favorite of the vegetable paraphernalia because of the (as you said) distinct, complimentary flavour you get out of it. Of course, necessity was the catalyst in trying this:
(after spending a few quiet moments mourning over the glass shrapnel viscerally splayed out across the floor...) "Well... the bowl is still intact, right? Let's just find something in the fridge."
I actually got that Erlenmeyer flask from a brewer's supply store.
...Months later, I learned why most hookah vases aren't clear.

Oh god, and now I am thinking of all the harmless but colorful chemicals that would be fun to put in the water part of the hookah. Fluorescein comes to mind, although the other day when I couldn't find it in our lab, and I couldn't find it doing the door to door tour of our building I was shocked. It's such a useful biochemical stain but no one seems to have it, or if they have it it's the hydrate which doesn't fluoresce unless metabolized by a living cell. Whoops tangent.
