the design for hookahjohns isn't unique to other solid brass hookahs...but it looks eerily familiar to the dream hookahs he was pushing before.
Looks like you can get hookah john titanium coals on amazon.
not sure if real, but that looks like your best bet if you're determined to buy from amazon.
Shishafreak also sells Titaniums, I've only ever made one order from them and it was a while ago but I was happy with it.
Oxide hookah sells both Titaniums and Coco Urth coals, and I've had good luck with both over the years. But I mostly roll with Coco Urth these days.
Good Luck!
Never dump them in toilet unless you welling to have plumbing issues!
I personally have one of those coal holder like this ones here
But mine I made at home from old pot and I dumped dirt and ash inside so it doesn't get hot from under.
I leave it in a safe spot and I know it's a spot no one can get to.
Otherwise you can always have a water cup and just throw them inside the cup. Works like a charm and after a min I throw them inside the coal holder for extra safety
It's because no one knows the reason or they are mistaking "ember" coals for extracted mineral coal.
The only difference between the lemonwood/other wood hookah coals and the stuff you get from a fire is that the former is made with indirect flame (and a shit load of heat) and the latter is made with direct flame which you use to light them former anyway so I'd say you end up with the same thing.
Have a quick look at this to see the marginal difference: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-some-Charcoal/step11/Enjoy-Charcoal/
Also, look at this picture: http://bluestatebbq.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/lump.jpg This is just what the lemonwood coals look like, and they look quite a lot like a tree you might burn in your fire.
Just don't use wood for building houses, etc.
- Imgur wont let me upload any images, no clue why. Following all posting parameters of Imgur... Anyways, here's my submission. For your consideration: Starbuzz THM04 with KM vase, Heavy Hitter braided hose, and HookahJohn Ferris bowl. Ft my old 2007 Mustang GT. https://cubeupload.com/im/steffandzntz/mustanghookah.jpg
You can buy an exhaust fan that goes in the window. If you blow the smoke at the fan it will suck it all outside. Not sure if it will handle all the coal smell though. Those are stinky when lighting up.
I've been looking at the Rosenfeld Yoda... Looks pretty good, especially for the price - but I haven't tried it yet.
If it's alright, I'll plug our own product here, Prestige Coco Coals :)
Solid reputation for being the most consistent hookah charcoal
You can find it on most major retail stores, and Amazon. YouTube has a few reviews on it, and for quick text reviews, you can check out Amazon.
I'm confident you'll love them if you give them a try; and if you do, I'd love to hear your feedback!
Shishabucks actually sells them officially here : Cloud|Micro Modern Hookah (Gold) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074H859GG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share (sold out now)
But keep an eye out. I ordered while out of stock and got in 4 days after restock. But yeah I settled for the gold but going to make a move for the tinted base soon.
Deja Dew is a really accurate Mountain Dew and it's a dark leaf so it has a really nice buzz with it. I've had Haze Cucumberita and I would have to choose Deja Dew over it just because I personally think the lime notes come through better and it does have a good buzz.
You should really give Trifecta a shot! I've had a lot of their flavors and I've hated none of them and loved a lot of them.
I'm currently reading The Art of War and I'm planning on rereading Berserk soon.
My girlfriend just hates smoking in general. It's a real bummer man, so be thankful your girlfriend not only tolerates it but will smoke with you!
You might not believe me but the lightning did not do the clouds justice. I was just as disappointed as you with how they were displayed on the video. Thanks though.
Edit: http://tinypic.com/r/25zqiva/8 Here is a video of my clouds from a sesh going quite a while (3 hours) on Tangiers M Cherry. This is probably 4 months old but the point stands I suppose.
Of course! My method is as follows:
- Take the shisha out of the plastic wrapping and squish it up in the bag, just to get the juices flowing in the tobacco.
- Cut the bag open and put the tobacco into a plastic container like these. Get any leftover juices from the bag in there as well.
- Keep it out in the open. Don't close the container just yet.
- Stir every hour for 4 hours. I stir for about 2 minutes, or when I feel like it's juicy again.
- Now close the container and let it sit for 20 hours. This will ensure freshness when you smoke. All the juices will be sealed with the tobacco and the container.
- Pack and smoke!
This is called the 4/20 method and it works everytime (: Hope this works out and you'll love the Orange Soda. It's my favorite!
Maaaybe you could put a stopper/plug on all of the hoses, so that if you pick up one, remove, smoke, plug again, could be the only way for it to work out...
As stated by the others, your problem will be when they either forget to plug it or smoke at the same time...
I saw something on Etsy the other day... Let me look for it...
https://www.etsy.com/listing/156100463/arch-hookahs-thebat-3x3-triple?ref=related-5
This would be a crazy way to encourage the "everybody smoke at the same time" vibe... If you can think the design, send to laser cut the parts, glue the acrilyc, and get the remaining parts which in my opinion shouldn't be hard to do, you could have an awesome home made 5-10 stem hookah train with different flavors at the same time... Just exchange hoses and thats it...
Hmmm... Did I go too far?
>Incinerate: Verb: To cause to burn to ashes or to burn completely *source
Once again, vestiges still applies and in a lab setting I'm sure they would still find traces of BPA. Although there is no doubt it would all but be removed.
To each their own though. If you want to take the risk, that's up to you and I respect your choice. I can't agree with it, but I respect your right to make that choice. All that needs to be done is to inform people so they may make their own educated decision. Regardless of it's harmful or not, which I hope someone wouldn't do.
Edit: For the record, I vaporize my marijuana not burn it.
Check out my Hookah. Google drive folder with a video I got a refund fast though. But after waiting three months, I have to say I'm ~~devastated~~ pretty bummed out. Since the stem and everything else is alright. I'm going to salvage the coupler from the base and then have a new base custom blown for me. edit - I just added two more photos of the actual base... or whats left of it.
I got this via google.
>The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey reports that active smokers at the hospital's Tobacco Dependence Clinic typically have CO levels of about 20 parts per million (ppm), but the levels can be as low as 10 ppm and as high as 50 ppm. Carbon monoxide levels this high require the heart to work overtime in order to get enough oxygen into the bloodstream. The CO levels of non-smokers and even ex-smokers shortly after quitting, typically measure between zero and two ppm.
What I got from the article is that heavy smokers will consistently have more CO in their body than non-smokers, though the majority will have under 30ppm If you do smoke enough to have more than that, you have other things to worry about. The difference seems to be that with hookah smoking, you are exposed to much more CO over a shorter period of time, and no CO at all between smoke sessions. I can't talk for everyone but I often smoke while watching a TV show and I'll probably average 1 breath hookah smoke for 1 breath air. I'm also under the impression that coals release more CO than a cigarette, but that's speculation.
Yeah it'll take a few weeks to get to you they ship from china. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2-handles-polarized-light-aluminum-shisha-hookah-bowl-charcoal-holder-charcoal-stove-burner-heat-keeper-free/32341402487.html
Of course;
i got it from Pixabay
If the direct link doesnt work open up Pixabay and it should be the first result. Its the Milkyway.
Have a great day :)
I don't like how they don't mention the CO levels of a cigarette smoker directly after smoking, like they do with the hookah smokers after they leave. They only suggest it's the same after the patron leaves a traditional bar. WTF? However, apparently it's ok to have a ppm of ~30.
Link to the research paper: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0749379710007014
I've used literally 100's of hookah setups over the past 15 years and have found that if you have a decent bowl, decent bore, and use coconut charcoal, you will always get a good smoke.
Having a larger water bowl helps, but anything using a decently sized bore will have more than a good enough sized bowl....stem doesn't matter.
I've been using this bowl for a few years and don't think ill ever get another one ($15): https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Silicone-Charcoal-Holder-Management/dp/B083VSCJZW/
>for coconut coals you need a burner. when the coals are lighting up there will be a very bad smell so do it outside and bring the coals in.

Not sure what exactly you are looking for but I purchased this stainless steel hookah from Amazon and I am beyond impressed with it. I got mine for $50 but it is $10 off right now, just saw it as I was getting the link for you.
Stainless Steel Hookah Set with Everything – SSS Portable Hookah Set incl. Glass Vase + Hookah Bowl + Hookah Hose + Hookah Mouthpiece + Tongs incl. Cool Vertical Purge + All in Hookah Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0892NQ161/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabt1_MyGRFbRQ5E58H?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
What country are you in? If you're in the US, the plug-in coil burner units cost around $10-15 shipped: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005T0SN0K/
Amazon has same-day and next-day shipping for a few extra dollars if you can't wait a few days...
Just moved out and left it with my roommates, so I was gonna say that I don't know... But I went back through my Amazon purchase history and found it.
Here is the link. It doesn't have very good reviews, but like I said, mine has lasted me 3 years without any issues, so it's got one 5 star review from me.
I didn't really search for the "hookah molasses" much when I tried my first batch. I used some unsulphured baking molasses from Amazon and mixed equal parts with vegetable glycerin. Currently producing my 2nd batch which has been testing best so far with 25% molasses, 25% raw honey and 50% vegetable glycerin.
My method was more closely following a guide by /u/TimWestside located here.
Feel free to reply/pm if you have more questions.
Specifically with a skybowl and stratus set I'd recommend swapping down from 3 stonehenged to 2 and a half coal. I've been running that pack on most of my bowls with 2017 tangiers and been much more successful. Occasionally I'll throw 3 on a bowl to start something robust (like a cane mint or static starlight) but if you're on a lighter flavor (breakfast cereal or mimon) I'd drop it to 2 coals. Alternatively, if you don't mind some next-level heat management, keep your 2 coals on the inside of the stratus with it shut, and move the third coal from the inside to the top of the stratus once the bowl is started.
Finally a huge difference for me and my stratus was a cleaning regimen. I saw a cheap wire brush at the local grocer on a '4th of july sale rack' for 2$. https://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-Wire-Pot-Cleaning-Brush/dp/B000S6J48A/ref=sr_1_30?ie=UTF8&qid=1499810893&sr=8-30&keywords=wire+brush There's a comparable amazon model. Keeping my stratus as clean of baked on particles has actually made a huge difference in how evenly my donuts come out of the skybowl, and while I'll admit this is a lot of personal bias, it fixed the issues I was having with a lot of 'new batch' tangiers.
This is the last option I found sadly :/ check out your Amazon in Germany (guessing you guys have one??)
Blazn Burner Replacement Emitter Bulbs 120V - Model BA120/BB120 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I65ZTLG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_tZXiAbSMB49DX
Maybe it has lower delivery but the reviewers aren't the best from this supplier.
However email SouthSmoke, I saw they have the parts but they are sold out, maybe they have some laying around that they forgot to update their websites,
Pagging u/southsmoke do you guys have this part in the warehouse???
It's known for cutting dishes with overnight dried-on food in just three minutes, the amazon reviews praise it as advanced technology in dishwashing. I can clean my hookah vases after they stink for days on end with just a drop and a shake. Best part is it doesn't cost any more than regular dawn ultra.
Another recipe some people use is lemon juice with baking soda, but I've never tried it.
Why? Soap and water should be fine. You can also buy this cheap set of brushes for $8 from Amazon. I'm sure you can find this locally too.
I wouldn't use alcohol and salt unless I'm cleaning glass or tough oily gunk. Like a bong.
Just saw this on amazon. There’s a picture on there with the opening measuring about 2 inches from what I can tell the golden leaf is the same I believe. Hope this helps

Everything fits into the base and it comes with a carrying case. It has enough room to fit a HMD and a bowl inside the base as well. Smokes quite thick as well
https://www.amazon.com/LUX-Silicone-Hookah-Hose-Medical-Grade/dp/B07B688MMN I personally think this hose is good but only problem is it doesn’t fit some stems. It’s one of my favorite silicone hose. It’s light and bendable hose. If it fitted my stem I would get rid of d hose. Also it’s not ghosting flavors. My d hose ghosted flavors.
I was looking into microphone holders like this. Assuming your hose is long enough. I ended up using an old clamp I had lying around.
I went with this guy
Pricey but I figured a good hose is worth the buy :D
Beamer Funnel? I just got one as a gift and plan to try it out tonight or tomorrow. Will do a review when I do. Fairly inexpensive on amazon.. edit $4.49 with free shipping
Lmao I bought something like that for the same reason, but it wouldn't power up my stove. I'm not sure it the unit was faulty or it didnt put out enough power. Good luck. To be safe, get a camping stove ( GasOne GS-3000 Portable Gas Stove with Color Box, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BS4RP7S/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_sd75vbD69957T )They work good.
This is a coil burner: http://www.amazon.com/Proctor-Silex-34101-Proctor-Silex-Burner/dp/B000690WNU/
You can also pick it up at walgreens. It is electrical. It needs space around it because it gets hot. I use mine on my porch, so there's plenty of space, but you'd want at least 10" in each direction, I'd say. There is some ash mess, but its not much and mostly contained to the burner itself.
FYI:
Many years agoI had the below bowl. In my bits and bobs I found the screen that sits on top of the bowl.
As the onmo doesn't have a lid, this works well, it incaseed the session time due to heat retention. Without it aesthetically making it look silly. I know a number of folks use the lotus lid, which works well but in my opinion makes dampens the image. Thought I would share in case it helps anyone else.

At the base of hookah there are three ports: for smoke outside.
Left stem has a ball - its stem for blowing a hookah (like port with ball in other hookahs).
Middle stem - for get smoke from bowl to water.
Right stem - for get smoke from bottle. At the base of hookaj there are port for pipe.
Pharaohs horus, I’ve been this for about 2 years now and it smokes better than any bar I’ve been to.
Recently upgraded the bowl and its even better
Hi.
That's easy. Buy a measuring device designed for this gas. It can also be purchased on Amazon.com, such as this cheap one: https://www.amazon.com/Monoxide-Detector-Monitor-Complies-Standards/dp/B08TRKL94H/ref=sr_1_7?c=ts&keywords=Carbon+Monoxide+Detectors&qid=1666188726&ts_id=495272 Then you will be sure that the problems are caused by too much accumulated gas in the room.
Do you smoke in a closed room or outside?
If you have such an opportunity, try smoking a hookah somewhere outside - on the terrace or on the balcony. And of course also light coconut coal, somewhere outside (balcony, terrace, ... and the like). If the symptoms of poisoning disappear after that, you were probably right. Then try smoking again in a closed room and if the symptoms of gas poisoning return, it's a clear thing.
A narrow air passage can be achieved, for example, by using hygienic mouthpieces (as example: https://www.amazon.com/Disposable-Individual-Wrapped-Mouthpiece-BPA-Free/dp/B09VY8GKKN/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3CF3RU8ZGRL0A) or directly with a hose mouthpiece (as example: https://hookaheshop.com/en/shop/hookah-accessories/hookah-mouth-tips/hookah-mouthpiece-aluminium-slim-dum/ - so-called "slim" design or "narrow" design). If they are narrow, they impair the passability. Gases are indeed compressible from the point of view of chemistry, but the lungs and mouth of a person must then exert more effort to compress the gas at the narrowing point - and therefore the airflow becomes difficult.
Had a couple people DM me for link to the bag so just thought I’d post one here.
https://www.amazon.com/Hookah-Carrier-Backpack-Shisha-Protection/dp/B0B7653JJ3/ref=sr_1_51?crid=1BMGR7NKHPSBK&keywords=hookah+bag&qid=1663581926&sprefix=hook%2Caps%2C592&sr=8-51[here you go :)](https://www.amazon.com/Hookah-Carrier-Backpack-Shisha-Protection/dp/B0B7653JJ3/ref=sr_1_51?crid=1BMGR7NKHPSBK&keywords=hookah+bag&qid=1663581926&sprefix=hook%2Caps%2C592&sr=8-51)
You don't need to make that big hole in the center. Also, you can buy foils which are already perfectly holed. Usually under $5 for pack of 50 or 100.
https://www.amazon.com/Pierced-Hookah-Aluminum-Smoking-Charcoal/dp/B07F3WL6NB
Anyway you can also poke holes but do it just like the one in the link. Also, put the coals towards the outside, so about quarter of the coal hanging out for first part of the session then move it around depending on how burnt it is on that side.
Hard to say :). Choose tongs whose end teeth are bent inwards. Or that contain some "sharp grinding" at the end of the arms, to hold the coal firmly. This is best way.
These tongs, for example, are good: https://www.amazon.com/QiQiCi-Premium-Stainless-Kitchen-Resistant/dp/B0B19F6NY9?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1 , because the arm is reinforced along the entire length of its bent... but you have to even in this case, you also have to bend the teeth at the end of the arms, towards the inside. And it will be difficult to do, because it is some kind of stainless steel.
I personally don't understand people who use coal tongs like that which are quite smooth - at the end of their arms. Coal must always fall out of them.
The best were always the cheapest tin tongs, such as these: https://www.shishastyle.sk/klieste-na-uhliky-top-mark-14-cm/ . The design is ugly. The teeth at the end of the arms also had to be bent - by pressing them against a flat table - how easy! Coal has NEVER fallen out of these tongs.
Hi.
Sorry to jump in on you. However, a silicone diffuser is better. It is easier to wash, put on and take off. It also has more and smaller holes. It also dampens the sound... so you really only hear the bubbles in the water and not the vibration of the hookah vase.
For example, here:
- https://www.amazon.com/Silencer-Diffuser-Muffler-Silicone-Accessories/dp/B073RDNNXM (20 pcs for about 10 USD)
And what about this ? The hole can be stretched up to almost twice its size. I used this diffuser on a downstem whose outer diameter was 2 cm.
Yes there are fakes out for pretty cheap. Amazon.de

Hi.
Which HMD and which hookah bowl ?
Usually hookah-bowl manufacturers make dimensions such that all common HMDs fits.
If not, it is better to use aluminum foil with Badcha stainless steel sieve (https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Charcoal-Reticular-Separability-Stainless/dp/B08NJF9S8P/ref=sr_1_37) or with Provost stainless steel sieve (https://blog.southsmoke.com/apple-on-top-provost-hmd-review/).
Yeah I tried it with foil and it’s been working great just takes longer to light. I love how easy it is to clean. This is the HMD I have currently Hookah Bowl Set Silicone – Premium Shisha Bowl Phunnel Bowl for Smoking with Hookah Tongs & Heat Management Charcoal Holder with Cover HOOKARTISHMD from Amazon
Hi. Try the gas burner, even with a small gas bomb. Ideally, if there is a grid on which to place coconut charcoal during its firing. A small gas bomb could withstand about 5-10 detonations. I've used it sometimes. Example: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Coala-Shisha-Coal-Lighter-Burner/dp/B01AT46PPK or https://hookahflow.de/coala-gaskocher-yellow - inside is a grid on which you put coal, and then you ignite the gas and leave coconut on each side charcoal for 7 + 7 minutes. Of course, you can use any other gas burner.
This is what i use. Been using these for a while and they are excellent. I also have their burner.

I love screw on hookahs. They are so easy to clean and since I smoke a lot I have to constantly maintain them and ensure cleanliness.
My recommendation is to check out Pharaohhookas.com I got a Pharaoh hookah awhile ago and it's amazing. It comes apart at ever piece individually so it's easy to keep shiny and clean.
For absolutely the cheapest thing I've ever seen try this on Amazon. My gf bought it for me for under $60 and I was expecting it to be crap. Turns out it's pretty good. Super small, had led lights, and I got it to perform just as well as my expensive ones when I use my own HMD.
This is what we use at home. It'll work like magic.
These are mod grommets you tried ones like these? I use these with all my alpacas for every hookah km, regal, b2, versatile. My versatile has a tiny bowl port.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001V81E9Q/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_NVM9ETFFFAJJNW4E0AW8
depending on how portable, i'd suggest this.
​
it's a great hookah with a great bowl and silicone hose that doesn't crumple up. it also comes with a carrying bag. i'm very happy with mine. normally a hookah like this would cost closer to a $100. the bowl alone would probably go for $30. but it's a big bowl so keep that in mind.

What about this one?
I have owned many hookahs in my day and traveled the world and smoked some here and there (Egypt for one). This is by far the best hookah I've ever owned. Doesn't tip over, easy to clean, looks beautiful and smokes amazing! https://www.amazon.com/Acrylic-Silicone-Charcoal-Narguile-Sessions/dp/B086N2PZW6
you played on console right? just buy the mouthtip holder for the controller and you are good to go :D i use it too when i use controller, so i can smoke and game at the same time.
it looks like this: i know german site, but you know what i mean.

I’ve got a more powerful purifier then I probably needed for my smoke room, but it does wonders.
Coway Airmega 400S App-Enabled Smart Technology, Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home True HEPA Air Purifier, (Covers 1,560 sq. ft.), White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C9RIAFS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_HB6Y9WMVSZW9GXF072Y7
Get a small saucepot and place your HMD in it. Cover it in hot water. Put it on the stovetop on medium-high heat until it starts boiling. At that point, turn the gas / power off and let it soak for 10 minutes.
Remove it from the water and while holding the rim with a kitchen towel use a copper scrub or a dampened piece of charcoal to scrub the residue off. Do this under constant flowing hot water from your sink. Most should come off fairly easy.
Invest a few bucks into some copper dish scrubs, like these.
I wouldn’t use any harsh chemicals (e.g. oven cleaner!?!?). Wouldn’t use dish soap either. I use coffee maker cleaner for mine (link here. You can boil the HMD in a pot with the cleaner but it may cause some discoloring, which I don’t think is an issue in your case. You can also just let it soak in hot (non-boiling) water for a little. I use a new dish sponge for scrubbing. I’m really careful not to let any soap get on any of my hookah stuff; it can leave a residue that’s hard to get rid of.
You’re probably due for a new HMD but if the quality of your sessions isn’t impacted I’d say keep using this one. I switched to using a provost and foil because I got tired of cleaning the lotus.
Ok, I decided to go and give a try to these ones, got some free samples yesterday night at a hookah bar downtown Fort Lauderdale... the flavor was great, but the real test for this came when I went home, my wife was a bit angry and I did not fight with her "as usually" lol... I was calm and talked her out of it like freaking Steve Harvey....lol I will see if I can do a video after work and show you guys how is my experience.
I ordered this off Amazon for both my hookahs and supplies. I have yet to assemble it but I’ll try to post it once it’s complete.
I got the base from DH Gate. It's just some Chinese base but with a ring of green led lasers and changing led colors in the middle.
If you go on Amazon they have it too but alot more expensive.

I can swear to you it smokes just fine as long as I ditch that crappy bowl and put in my silicone one which fits just right. It smokes as well as my KM. Its less about the hookah and more about the packing, heat management etc.
coz' there's some weird comment from him a little below here Mike. I think we'd all like to know what's going on here, wouldn't we gents ?
edit: Allright doing a little bit of investigation, seems like a healthy guy : http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=2u8h53k&s=8#.VIhwszGG_Vo
Nice, That's sweet. I might try and make a cheapo one to carry in a back pack, possibly this one. I'd use a brass pipe for the downstem instead of a plastic one though. It's light, portable and not horrible if it breaks haha.
EDIT: do you have any pics of it?
That’s looks real nice though … seems like Must have good smoke and flavor.. right now you must try Kuasar Raas Thermic Head .. I’ve been smoking from few years and this this is has no match so far. I did nt find in US so my friend order from Dubai.. recently got my Stainless steel R.Rosenfiled shisha from Amazon n found good deal. Before I’ve been great fan of Khalil Mamoon shisha but was looking something compact and handy but good quality. So good luck and enjoy shisha fellow.

Claims 100% and says it's food grade, but not FDA approved. A lot of comments and testimonies claim its edible. So I think I'm ok.

Here is a link to another one of their 20$ complete sets if you where interested it’s a little bit of a different shape though
Someone else already said it, but a desk mic stand is amazing for smoking hookah while doing other things. I game a lot (both on console and PC, albeit only really Runescape on my computer) and the mic stand is perfect for it
To be honest, I don't think that little accumulation will affect your sessions; however, here's how I got the burned shisha off my lotus v2: after each session, turn on hot water and put the ignis under the stream. Let it sit there while you clean the other things. Then, take some dish washing soap and a dish washing brush. Put the soap on the ignis and use the brush to scrape things off. You won't notice effects immediately, however, if you do this consistently after each session, the gunk will come off. This method works for me and it even got rid of some of the gunk that's been sitting there for months!
Your post inspired me to hit up a hardware store tomorrow and try to do a smaller scale version. I was thinking miniature heating pads, actually.
Something like this: http://i.imgur.com/NttpZX3.png
I'm certainly not an electrical engineer but it doesn't seem like it'd be too hard to do. Several DIY hot plate guides are on the Internet, this one being the coolest (USB-powered).
nothing really good near the strip. Your best bet is to go to Sitara hookah lounge
or you can go to Kaliopi Hookah lounge its my personal favorite
haha fair enough. That wasn't the best removal guide, just linked it for some background.
Also Adwcleaner is a amazing program to fix this stuff (when its not injected into a site lol) http://download.cnet.com/AdwCleaner/3000-7786_4-75851221.html
I'm sure you can search ebay for it, Definitely on Aliexpress, though whether you want to deal with that is entirely up to you.
i live in the dc area. i used to go to this place in Lanham which had 250g tubs for like $10 but it is no where near dc propper. in dc there are several hookah lounges. i don't know what they have though. you may want to give them a call. If by some extraordinary happenstance you end up near university of maryland in college park there are 3 places. Prince Cafe, Mosaic, and Hookah Cafe. i think all 3 sell AF but dont quote me.

This is an "Arabesque Hookah"
That's the brand. It's written on the Tray rest.
It's made in china.
Just because it has a name that's not chinese or english doesn't mean it's not made in china...
Is it an electric stove with coils? Or flat? I use a little single burner but also have a propane cooker that I roast my coals in. I only use Coco-nara coals now but I've tried others and never encountered one that wouldn't smoke after cooking it fully through. I would guess heating your coals aren't fully heated but it's hard to say without a picture. I'll post the links to the cheapy crap I use to light coals. Hope this helps brother, keep us updated so you don't have to smoke those sulfur bombs anymore!
I would highly recommend COCOUS #1 brand in my opinion. You can find them here

I've been working this design through in my head and I was trying to work out a way to prevent the copper from corroding or affecting the taste. I had considered lining it with flexible poly tubing, using spray enamel on the inside, or just making it out of PVC. I have also been plotting a version using surplus chem lab parts.
The LED in the bottom looks like this one from a Chinese seller on AliExpress.
I've got a couple of them myself, and they're awesome for lighting up the bowl.
I purchased it from a friend at a discounted price since he broke a base I had for many-many years. I found a similar design on aliexpress that you could check out.
Single top electric coil plate. Kinda like this ( http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/499853110/coil_electric_cooker.html ) but you obviously only need a single one. They are rather sparse in the UK but you should be able to find them easily and cheaply in the USA.

I remember reading something like this from an AMA about "what if 8 legged freaks were real?" The answer was, in short, spiders have evolved to out run their prey with this type of respiratory system since it acts like a slower functioning accordion."
In other words, fuck really large spiders. Or other creatures with book lungs.
