    Oh and the bowl doesnt get hot enough to melt the plastic. so it doesnt burn and therefore doesnt get into the smoke. ive looked into it and made sure its all safe

    The melting point of polyethylene, polyurethane, and vinyl tubing is all much lower then the temperature that the coals burn.

    You make really nice homemade hookahs, but if your going to sell to people you might want to coincide switching to glass. my $0.02.

    if i could afford it then yes, and the bowl is tall enough to where it is far enough away from the coals where it doesnt heat up to the point of melting, i have smoked it many times and taken the bowl off immediately afterward and it showed no signs of melting at all.

    I know, thats how I used to make down stems for homemade hookahs. I never had a problem with it for short time use, but I also only spent $2-3 making it. Gotta spend money to make money. I can find lots of hookahs with adequate metal or glass downstems online for $30, the only advantage yours has is it wasn't made in a sweatshop.

    I hope you don't find my comments to be bashing you, just lending advise.

    looks like the first hookah i purchased the first weekend of college. It was a little 2 hose that cost like 70$ cause it was from the local headshop and everything there hookah wise was overpriced... but we wanted it that night so 3 of us split the cost.

    LOL yah. Well I got a really nice discount ;) lol. Everything was pretty cheap since I worked there and all.
    I have a friend who is splitting his hookah prices with his roommates in college. That's the best way if multiple people are using it a lot.
    Since I moved in with my friend she told me that she'll help me out with coals and shit since shes smoking it most of the time to which is nice.
    We have some really expensive head shops around here since there isn't really many.
    There is this nice rasta place on S.S ( there's a few but I really like this one)that I like going into they carry a lot of hookahs and other do-dads.
    I really want to go to this one shop in West-Chester in Pa because my Aunt said they have a lot of nice stuff there so... I need to take a road trip out there soon lol.

    Nah, moonflower has little selection and high prices. You should try frolic in exton, pa. they have a good selection, but still high prices. Paisly moon in reading, pa is one of my favorites. They have a good selection, great prices, and great employees.

    In Australia a hooka has the same meaning as prostitute. So if you read the very first post and replace hooka with prostitute its quite hilarious.. or so I thought.

    Loving the idea though Hax!
