Homemade E-Hookah

[McVapor]

Intro:
So I have this hookah I no longer use since I quit smoking. It's a small $30 one hose hookah that looks really nice. I thought I should make it into an e-hookah. So far so good with the experimentation.

Experimentation:
I've went through 3 designs on trying different things. 1) have the vapor pass through water/no water with the atty at the top. 2) have the atty at the bottom of the hose. 3) have the atty at the top of the hose. The Second choice became the choice to go with as I started to feel the entire device as a giant paperweight if the atty is right at your mouth. Although you do get less vapor and a bit of downtime inhaling the vapor through a long hose.

Problems:
Really only two,

1. amount of vapor (switch to all VG perhaps?)
2. activating the firing of the atomizer

So I was thinking of having the same device as what is in those automatic batteries and putting that at the stem of the hose. What is this device and could I obtain one to use in a mod? It would be nice to not have to press any button at all.

Solutions?

Oh I will post pictures once I polish off my battery housing and finish the switch

A small vacuum switch would make it auto. The farther the vapor has to travel the less effective it will be.

After some thought I would throw a power source in the tank and use the hose as a conduit for wires with the atty/cart being at the mouth piece.

I dont think vapor passing through water will work as it would just add to the water probably .

Isn't hookah vaping already? could be wrong but the tobacco is soaked in flavoring and VG and is heated by the coal.

ya, If your using a hookah properly the tobacco actually never ignites.

Yep, tobacco is just used as a base for the Vegetable glycerin, honey, or molasses. But I've often wondered about the vacuum switch, could anyone point us in the right direction for one?

I thought about putting the carto/atty/tank at the hose but I guess there are certain factors about a hookah I want to keep. Although I am no longer using water I still think vapor should come from the base. Weither that be the base of the hose or inside the bulb. Otherwise its basically a large battery with a 'gooseneck' to my atty and would vape like every other handheld PV. Another issue is the stem now has no use other than aesthetic. I guess I'm a product of function but I really feel it needs some use.

I discovered that you cant put an atty upside down or suck threw the connector end. Gravity works against me in all isntances of cartos, attys and tanks. I was thinking that perhaps if I were to get the device inside of the Wizard-Stick inside the bulb I might get a thicker density fog. Or rigging multiple dual-cartos together in parallel. Power is not an issue and I MIGHT make the entire unit USB powered (Wall USB plug fore safety). In this case I could wire two LR attys in series and have the power drop from 5v to 2.5v each atty.

the problem is already what you said, the long it is from the actually source of vaping the less effect your gonna have unfortunatley. I had a thought about making mulitple passthru's and hooking them up to a multi-port usb connector and having an ehooka kinda thing that way.

Not 100% sure on this one but aren't those artificial smoke/fog machines actually just giant ecigs. So attach a couple hose to it, put a automatic pressure switch inside those hose, fill the smoke machine with e-juice and then vape away??? u might want to try that with 0-6mg e juice thou because those machine make a massive amount of smoke.

You wouldn't even need the hose, just close the door to the room you were in
