Today we’ll figure out how to make potassium from different bottles
What you need to make your own potassium from a bottle
I’ll say right away that there will be two main directions in this instruction:
- How to make a hookah from a plastic bottle
- How to make a hookah from a glass bottle
Look what you need for the first option:
- The plastic bottle itself - 60 rubles
- Some cocktail straws - 100 rubles per pack
- Any fruit and a pair of toothpicks (I recommend apple or orange) - 60 rub.
- Metal sleeve and small metal tube for the base of the bowl - Free
- Plastic cap (They must fit with the neck of the bottle) - Free
- Regular universal baking foil - 100 RUR roll
Everything you need to make a homemade hookah
Now let's see what things we need for the second option:
- Glass bottle - 200 rub.
- Diamond drills - 70 RUR
- A pair of good seals (Silicone) - 50 RUR
- A little foil for baking - 100 rub.
- Base for stainless steel tube - Free
- The basis for the hookah itself - The price varies , it depends on how hard you try
- Flexible smoking hose (Flexible plastic or silicone) - 200 RUR
Mine
Undoubtedly, the hookah shaft is the most important and most complex part of it. A good shaft will both cool the smoke and filter it through condensation. And most importantly, a good mine will never give an unpleasant aftertaste. What can you make or improvise a hookah shaft from at home? Most likely, you will have to be content with a metal tube. But is every tube suitable for us?
A metal tube can always surprise you with an unpleasant metallic taste, and therefore, if possible, you should choose a tube made of food grade stainless steel or aluminum . And here the most ordinary food foil will help us a lot. Yes, yes, the same foil that every housewife and every hookah smoker has. It may seem soft, but wrap it around a pencil several times and you will be surprised at how dense and durable the tube becomes. Only the core for winding should be not a pencil, but something of a more suitable “caliber”.
Making a hookah from a plastic bottle with your own hands
So, this option is the most inexpensive, but it can also be used a couple of times. From experience I can say that such structures often bend or even break. Well, for a couple of evenings this will be one of the most successful cook-offs. Moreover, in fact, in order to make such kahl, you only need 300 rubles.
I’ll say right away that there are a lot of guides. But I decided to show you the easiest one for you. So, let's move on now to the step-by-step instructions:
1.Take an apple or orange and cut it into a bowl
Let's make a bowl like this
2. Use toothpicks to line the base of the bowl in the fruit so that the tobacco does not fall down
Create a base from toothpicks
3. Now take that same metal sleeve and insert it into the resulting homemade bowl
We connect it with the bushing
4. Take a bottle cap and make a large hole in it for the tube (It will serve as a tie between the sleeve and the tube)
Now we’re making our own mine for the pot
5. Connect the cap, tube and metal sleeve together
6. Make a small hole in a plastic bottle and insert any tube into it (This is exactly what we needed cocktail tubes for)
It turns out this is the design
7. Now insert the improvised shaft into the bottle and push the tube into the hole in the bottle - secure everything with hot glue or electrical tape
This is what your plastic pot will look like
This is what your hookah from a plastic bottle will look like if you do everything exactly according to the instructions. This kind of pot will be enough for 2-3 good quality smokes. Let's now see how you can make an improved version from a glass bottle.
Flask
You don't have to worry too much about the flask. It doesn’t matter what kind of imagination nature has given you, and what grades you received in labor lessons at school. Whatever you decide to make a flask from: from a 5-liter “eggplant” or from a pumpkin and watermelon - everything will work out for you, and there is nothing to discuss here. The main thing is that it fits well into the interior, and you wouldn’t be ashamed to show it to your friends.
If you are making a flask from an eggplant, the one in the shape of a soccer ball will look exclusive. Pumpkin filled with its own juice half and half with water will give the smoke a pleasant flavor. True, this option is not suitable for all tobaccos. Well, if a three-liter bottle is used as a flask, be sure to make sure that it is made of Czech Bohemian glass, because the aesthetics of the hookah is paramount. =))))
Making a hookah from a glass bottle
I didn't think I'd ever say this, but now we're going to look at how to make a more *solid* hookah out of foil (haha). I will also say that the bottle here is essentially a flask. Therefore, it will differ little from a standard hookah. In short, take all those things that I listed earlier. And we went according to the instructions:
1.First, we carefully drilled two holes in the bottle. The first hole is for a hose or tube. The second is for purging (optional). The important point here is that the hole is exactly the size of the hose (approximately 15-17th diameter) - no more, no less!
Wrap paper tape around the bottle
PS To carefully drill holes, you need to wrap paper tape around the bottle, drill at low speeds and never press hard.
Now carefully drill the bottle
2. Insert a silicone seal into one hole of the bottle to allow the hose to exit.
It turns out this is a bottle of Jack
3. Find some oblong tube that you will later use as a shaft. It is important that the diameter of the tube fits perfectly into the neck. In extreme cases, you can use a sealant or also wrap the tube with paper tape.
Insert a copper or other metal tube
4. Now connect everything with sealants, electrical tape or tape and enjoy!
This is what it will look like
5. A hookah made from a glass bottle is more stable than one made from a plastic bottle, so don’t use a fruit bowl here, but a regular one - it will definitely hold up!
This is what your glass bottle looks like
So we figured out how to make a hookah from a glass bottle with our own hands, step by step. Here you only have to worry about not breaking the bottle. Otherwise, the design should hold everything well and smoke very smokily!
By the way, I will definitely say that there are special shafts that are specially made for smoking on glass bottles. They look something like the photo below, and are several times cheaper than regular kahl (about 1000 rubles).

Required Items
The most important element is, of course, the hookah itself. If you have not yet purchased this wonderful unit, then you should think about your choice. There are many types. The main difference is the size of the flask and shaft
It is believed that the longer the last one, the better, but the first thing you should pay attention to is the size of the first one. If you are going to buy it for yourself, then a small hookah is quite suitable for you, but if you are counting on a significant company, then buy a larger thing.
In addition, there are varieties with an ice bowl. It serves to cool the smoke. So, you have a device, but it’s still too early to think about how to prepare a hookah. The main thing in this matter is tobacco, but this is not the only thing. You will also need foil, charcoal, tweezers (they usually come with the hookah), liquid for the flask, and last but not least, a needle. You are ready, you can start.
How to make a hookah from a five-liter bottle with your own hands
If you understood the principle of creating a hookah in the previous two examples, then this method will definitely not be difficult for you. The creation process is very similar. So what to do:
- Take a five-liter bottle and drill two holes in it. Do this carefully so as not to break the material.
- Insert a seal into the first hole, insert a tube into the second so that you can then blow through it.
- Now take a long tube (about 1.15 meters) so that it reaches the water in the five-liter container.
- Pull this tube through the lid with a hole in a five-liter bottle and seal this structure with glue or electrical tape.
- Place a homemade or metal sleeve over the shaft so you can put the bowl on it later.
- Now insert a hose into one of the holes, insert a seal into the second, put a ball of foil and make a cap out of it.
- Use a bowl (you can use a regular bowl or a fruit bowl).
- All is ready. Smoke and get high!
My favorite design is a five-liter calik
Origin story
There are several theories about the origin of this wonderful smoking device, because the history of several countries mentions hookah. Back in the 15th century, a smoking device appeared in India. The popularity of hookah at that time was associated with a large amount of tobacco. Wealthy people did not smoke pure tobacco, but with the addition of special aromatic or flavoring additives. But if we talk about commoners, they preferred regular black tobacco - it is much cheaper.
History of the origin of hookah

On a note! In different countries, hookah is called differently. For example, in India it is “huqa”, in Iran it is “galin”, and in Turkey it is “narjil”. The name of a hookah can be different even in states that are adjacent geographically.

A little later, hookah appeared in some European countries and soon people turned its smoking into a kind of tea ceremony. Of course, it is more entertaining in nature, but there are more and more fans of smoking tobacco. Now hookah lovers compare their hobby to drinking good wine.
Hookah is famous for its ancient history; several countries lay claim to its creation.
How to plug a homemade hookah
So you made your first pot on a bottle. Great, now we need to hammer it in properly. In general, the instructions will look like this:
- Pour water into the bottle so that the tube touches the water 2-3 cm.
- Regardless of which bowl you choose (regular or fruit), I advise you to make an air pocket so that the tobacco does not burn too much. It is very difficult to correct the burning of tobacco in such pots.
- If you use foil, then roll the torn piece into three layers and make holes in it in a circle, as in the standard pattern. Place it on the bowl. If you use kalaud, just put it on the bowl.
- Heat 2-3 coals and feel free to place them on foil or kalaud.
- Wait literally 4-5 minutes for the bowl to warm up.
- Voila! You have a ready-made and packed homemade hookah from a bottle!
Do you agree that a hookah from a bottle can be made quite easily? There is another easy option to make a hookah with your own hands - on a glass, for example. You can read the article here!
Here are detailed instructions on how to hammer homemade calik
Hurricane Glass
Hurricane Glass is a ready-made solution for homemade hookahs. This device looks like a tall cocktail glass with a built-in hookah. All components are already included in such a glass. What is noteworthy is that this hookah is already equipped with a cap.
Before smoking, liquid is poured into the shaft of such a hookah; if desired, you can add ice, berries or fruits. Next, you should secure the shaft tightly, fill it with chili tobacco, cover it with foil, make holes and place the coals. It is worth noting that warming up the device takes very little time - about a minute.
This hookah in a glass is an ideal camping option. This mini hookah will be a wonderful decoration for any party. Moreover, smoking such a narghile is an absolutely hygienic process.
What else can you make a hookah from?
But it's not limited to bottles. There are still a lot of options that can be used for such things. You can make a hookah with your own hands from the following things:
- Bottle
- Jar
- Cup
- Samovar
- Wood and clay
- Fruit or vegetable
But again, I always recommend looking beyond the rules and trying new things. Therefore, use your imagination, come up with a new type of homemade pot, send it to me and I will definitely publish a special article!

Tips and tricks
In order for the tobacco to be of high quality and the hookah smoking process to be enjoyable, you must follow a few simple rules:
- after preparing the mixture, you need to give it time to infuse;
- try experimenting with different flavors, for example, use bananas, for example, or pineapples;

Testing a homemade hookah
Be sure to wash all elements of the hookah after using it. This should be done with warm water without using any chemicals.
For hookah lovers
Types of tobacco filling
There are several main types of tobacco packing: air, dense, touching (overpack) and with a well.
Air stuffing
It involves placing tobacco fluffily in a bowl so that air can easily pass between all parts and warm them up. This filling helps to increase the strength of the tobacco.
Dense packing
Allows you to place a slightly larger volume of tobacco in the bowl and, as a result, increase the duration of hookah smoking. Due to this, the strength of tobacco is reduced
Hitting a touch is also called an overpack. It involves burning the top layer of tobacco to produce a more intense release of flavor and nicotine. It adds strength, but the tobacco also burns out much faster.
Driving with a well
It involves leaving space in the middle so that the air can easily pass through the bowl, warming it up completely. Used to reduce the strength of tobacco.

Rinse all hookah elements with running water before first use and repeat the procedure after each use. After a month of use, wash the hookah and all accessories using a brush and hookah cleaner. The brush is easy to use, without hard pressure. After cleaning, disassemble the hookah and dry it. Do not leave the hookah in the water.

Tobacco selection
Currently, the culture of hookah smoking has become very popular, and as a result, we have a huge selection of tobaccos. How can you decide which one you need? First, let's look at what types of tobacco there are and how they differ
Tobacco blend varieties
Basically, there are 3 varieties of tobacco mixture - these are: Virginia (Virginia) Burley (Burley) Oriental (Oriental) These varieties differ in cuts - large, small and medium cuts, respectively.
The type of tobacco also directly affects the strength. Burley produces mostly strong tobaccos, while Virginia produces light tobaccos. One of the important points for beginners is the smokiness of the hookah. Many people note that a smoky hookah is psychologically more pleasant to smoke. Several factors influence smokiness: the amount of syrup and flavorings - that is, soaking.
Another important parameter is the heat resistance of tobacco. You can influence this parameter yourself - experimenting with a variety of bowls, fillings, mixes. This parameter depends on cutting and soaking of tobacco.
Flavor transfer
This is one of the most important parameters - in fact, why we smoke hookah.
It affects the richness of taste. Some manufacturers make them more natural, while others make them more chemical. It's a matter of taste as to who likes what more. So, how to choose tobacco? Everyone has different tastes and preferences, and that is why we strongly recommend trying several tobaccos from different manufacturers that will differ in the type of tobacco, heat resistance, flavor transfer - to understand what suits you best!

It doesn't really work that way. If you immediately start smoking a hookah, the bowl will not warm up faster, but you will suffer from oxygen starvation, since you will have time to inhale a heavy dose of carbon dioxide released by the coal.
Don't leave the hookah for too long. If the hookah is not smoked or blown out, the heat may increase again and the tobacco will begin to taste bitter again. Even if everyone in the company is engaged in an exciting conversation, do not forget to at least blow out the hookah to maintain a stable heat.
Preparing parts
How to prepare a hookah for beginners is not the easiest task. First of all, it is necessary to assemble and wash the structural parts, check the integrity of the hose and the tightness of the connections. Next, the vessel is filled with liquid, a shaft is lowered into it, and a smoking bowl is placed on top of it. Let's look at this in more detail.
