****i didn't realize i wasn't allowed to post URLS until after i wrote this whole thing. i just rewrote the parts where i put a URL in....oops!
i haven't been on the forums long...nor have i been an e-cig smoker long. i know what i like to smoke though. i'm a huge fan of hookah. i don't go too often because after a night of hookah i feel very light-headed lol. however, after i tried my ecig the first time, i immediately thought it tasted like a hookah. with all the variety of fruity flavors at our disposal, i think that a hookah style design would be amazing. i've spent hours thinking up a design and i realized there are certain things you can't get around in terms of creating an "e-hookah". firstly, is the drug connotation. i don't want anymore bad rap coming down on ecigs. secondly, is the actual design. it seems there would be a decent amount of wasted space in creating one of these bad boys (at least if someone uses my design). thirdly, i'm not tech savvy enough to try and make one. if one of you fine people would take on the project, i'd be super thrilled!
here's a real hookah..
****if you type in mini hookah under google images you'll see a mini hookah with a black hard case.
here is a blueprint
****wikipedia "hookah" has a schematic picture of a hookah.. listing all parts and such
My 'vision' is this:
an E smoking device that has the most ridiculous amount of smoke ever with the a nice long battery life. it would stand at about a foot tall with a 2-3 foot long hose, and a nice hard case.
here's my breakdown using the pictures above as reference:
****again sorry for no pictures!
Bowl = Battery. the whole bowl would be the battery. it's a large battery for a large order vaping device. to add to the realism, just as how we have LED at the end of ours, i would like a round, circular, black lump of charcoal right in the middle. it would have a few, small red/orange LEDs that would glow every time someone takes a drag. not too many because i dig the realism. on a real hookah the whole bowl can come off..same case for the battery bowl. makes for an easy charge and replacement
okay that was the easy part...this is where it gets tricky..i've made maybe 3-4 different placement positions for both atomizer and carts...AND whether or not to have the vaper actually go through water like a real hookah. (i know the smoke will make it's way through the water...i made a very makeshift version of this idea. kinda hurt the throat a bit though)
i'll present my 2 best ideas
V1
valve = cart or juice etc... this seems to be the most practical place to put it. i've racked my brain trying to think of a way to put it inside the hookah but gravity and ease of access comes into play and this is just the best solution.
somewhere in the body = atomizer. notice, there is a huge HUGE amount of room to play with here. just throw in two screwdrivers and we're good to go haha.
this option allows you to either use or not use water.
the pros of water are you get the bubbly sound like a hookah
the cons...it probably lessens the potency and kills the vapor...
V2
right under the removable bowl is where you put your cart or juice etc...
and under that is where you put your atomizer...
this design allows gravity to pull down the juice towards the atomizer. how do you power the atomizer if the cart is in between the atomizer and battery? simple! you have a large enough space where you can just line some wires or whatever down one side.
this version does NOT allow for the use of water.
....
....
anyway that is my idea. also, my first, large post to this forum. i know this idea will sound absolutely horrible to some and hopefully better to others. i would love to hear someone add to this idea and possibly create it one day. anyway...enough of my mindless rant. happy vaping!
) but, the 2500mAh Lithium battery is what I'm going with. I expect that even with my heavy use, I should see easily a day or better use between charges.
