Yup I was thinking of putting NCC-1701 on it somewhere! Great minds think alike...I already had it in the plans to get a double recycler and a triple klein from Trey, but we have to finish the current project first and then I want to see if PM will part with something he has. So ya, in total so far, I'm looking at 4 from Trey, and maybe more after those are done...1 down, 1 in the works, two more near future :)

Sick glass! That would matchup perfect with this: http://www.save-on-crafts.com/vaselights4.html

Thanks I've been looking for one of those, but wasn't sure what they were called.

That sounds awesome! I want to hear more about it, or do we all have to wait to get more details? Secrets don't make friends! Do share lol.

I have something special floating around in my head too. I drew up a rough sketch of it tonight. It's definitely different and not too common on this forum. If Doughboy can make this triple tube recycler hookah then I would never buy another hookah ever. I have wanted a glass hookah for the longest time so I hope this can happen one day :)

All glass, except the hose. 7mm thick. Not sure if I want the stand to be some sort of metal or glass. What do you guys and gals think?

I like the cyborg rig/hookah concept. Also way to go making such a detailed drawing. A few thoughts...

#3 the ice catcher... will it hold melted ice alright? That's a lot of water sitting up high on the piece.

#9 downstem...How about having a 2nd downstem made that's just a two-hole diffy, so you can swap between them as you want differing amounts of diffusion?

#14 I can't figure out what's going on here. Is that plate the only thing holding the chamber up? If so, I think the design could be tweaked to make it more self-supporting. It's a tall piece with a very high center of gravity. Getting good support will be important.

The recycling action...may want to talk with the blower. They know a lot about the nuts and bolts, and I'd want a lot of their input for function's sake.

#7 is a pet peeve of mine, but I hate whips. Hate them on vapes. But I know hookahs all rock the hose, so I'll leave you with this idea. Maybe have him make a custom glass mp to fit the gong. That way you could switch between hose and glass mouthpieces. I mention it because once I tasted all-glass path, whips became unacceptable. Plus you could dedicate the hose for hookah and the glass for the good stuff.

Which brings us to #1, the stand. Oh man, you want to make sure this gets done right so the piece is safe and balanced. Maybe make the bottom of the chamber a little wider so the support under it can be wider? It looks pretty stable vertically, but not sure about side-to-side. I have a similar issue with a piece I'm sketching designs for. A little top heavy, needs good support. After trying to figure out something in glass, I just gave up and am making a custom stand myself out of copper and ceramic. Easier in the end. And I like the mixed-media look. Some might even call it a 'collab' of sorts. :)

Cool work. I'm loving that people are making and posting sketches. Very informative.

Hey guys.. I hit a shipping snag today.. apparently when you cross the Mississippi River rates get insane. Ive ordered some flat rate boxes and flat rate tubes that I can pack stuff in to get the prices down. Im going to still get things out of here, I may just have to ship First Class until I can get some flat rate boxes. $40.00 to ship a small tube anywhere is insane.

Thanks for you input @syrupy!

After reading @Frederick McGuire's post I have revamped many things about the hookah design. My idea of how it would recycle would not work. I think I may go with an incycler option and have all the plumping inside the main chamber so it can be removed from the stand super easily. I also think I will make the stand 4 legs instead of 3 for added strength and stability.

If I go with a glass stand it will be 9mm thick minimum and everything weld will essential be reinforced. It should be solid. Then for the actual hookah itself I'm thinking 7mm or 5mm.

I am currently drawing V2.0 and it should be done today :)

No worries @PoopMachine! Thanks for figuring out how to ship it cheapest for us. $40 is insanely expensive. Ridiculous

Here we go! Glass Hookah V 2.0 (Possibly the first incycler hookah / scientific glass with a removable stand)

Let me know what you think? This is a work in process and will be a purchase in a couple months ( maybe less :D )

I am thinking about doing all of the internal plumbing including the downstem in slime. I may even do the stand in slime if I can afford it… The chamber will be clear. Suggestions are welcome here!!!! :)

Thanks @Frederick McGuire and @syrupy for your input. I added a lot of reinforcement and extra support. I also decided to go with a quad incycler to get that good old negative pressure so it functions properly :D

I am thinking for size I should do about 3 feet tall and about 2 feet wide (I want it to be near impossible to tip over)

For the actual chamber I will do 5-7mm thick. For the stand, base, and top plate I will do 9mm thick

1) Hookah Bowl / Vape

2) 18.8mm Female Joint (I will use an 18.8mm male to male adapter for a hookah bowl, but I want the female joint so it is compatible with my Solo, Lotus, and future EVO)

3) Ash Tray - It will rest on top of the Ice Bowl (#4)

4) Ice bowl

5) Ice bowl supports (4 total - one every 90* around the 360* ice bowl)

6) Ice :rofl:

7) 18.8mm non narrowing female joint for downstem support
*A little note about this idea. #7 and #10 will be 18.8mm female joints, but they will not narrow so they will have the same diameter throughout the joint. The downstem will just go all the way through these and they are here to help stabilize the downstem. It will have to be air tight when the downstem is in place.

8) 18.8mm female joint purge value (to fit a glass stopper) or extra mouthpiece / hose port

9) 18.8mm female joint mouthpiece / hose port

10) 18.8mm non narrowing female joint for downstem support. It will have to be air tight when the downstem is in place.

11) Incycler cups with holes (4 total) - the other two are directly behind the two seen in the pic

12) To the left of #12 is the cup's drain tube (4 total). To the right of #12 is an 18.8mm female joint that does narrow like normal. The end of the downstem will be a normal 18.8mm male joint and it will fit right in here for extra support.

13) Gridded upline perc (like on my double recycler) This perc will span the width of the chamber and will be welded to the side walls of the chamber. It will also have 2 supports under the perc (#17). The center of the perc will have the 18.8mm female joint (that is to the right of #12)

14) Vertical support bar for the female joint (that is to the right of #12)

15) Bottom cup for chamber support. This will be like the base on a rig. It will be a giant square plate of 9mm thick glass that the 4 legs of the stand are mounted to. The center of the square will have the cup that the chamber fits in perfectly.

16) The 4 leg stand that is mounted on the square plate of glass (triangle supports will be added to the corners of the tops and bottoms of the legs if needed). This will probably be 9mm thick too. The top of the stand will also be a giant square plate of 9mm thick glass with a hole in the center that the chamber fits into (#3 in the second pic)

523fd2a5-b29c-4dc2-a6ed-6c3bdc842f16_zps3860ca31.jpg


1) These are the open tops of the 4 cups

2) The center 18.8mm non narrowing female joint that the downstem runs through (#10 in above pic)

3) The hole in the center of the top plate of the stand that the chamber fits into

4) The bottom plate of the stand. It will be slightly large than the top plate so the legs can be and a slight angle instead of just straight up and down.

Let me know when you'd like me to present that to Trey.. I mentioned it to him last night and he said "Weird.. Ill build it tho"

A man of many words.. lol!

He made a Klein yesterday that was one of the nicest pieces Ive ever seen. Its going to Florida to be featured in some kind of glass show. Ill try to get some pictures of it before it leaves.

The scientific stuff is cool and shows his fabrication skills but the colored stuff is nuts. He doesnt buy the tubing already colored.. he uses this process called coil potting where you take a solid rod of color and basically form it into a tube. Its incredibly time consuming and very hard to get the colors even. Its amazing to watch him do it.

Will do! Haha yeah weird is what I was going for because that's what makes everything unique! I want a hookah/bubbler that no one else has that is completely different and something that turns heads :) like @CrazyDiamond said I'm going for the Space Station look :D

I definitely need to save up for a while for this one. I can't imagine it will be under a grand especially with the glass thickness I want used. Definitely a future piece but hopefully sooner than later :)

I really hope we all get to see a pic of this "nicest Klein ever" @PoopMachine is teasing us about :tup:

Ill ask him where he's shipping the piece today when I see him.

**EDIT** Trey is PUMPED by the amount of response he's gotten here. He has some new designs in the works and is going to start adding more perc options to the Recyclo-Tube.

He just left my place and is beyond stoked at the support from you guys. We have a really good secret going with this guy.. On the one hand I hope he blows up because he deserves it. On the other hand, its nice to have our own personal glass guy.
