Commentary on hookahs, smoke rings, and The Dream

I like tequila, but the problem with tequila and the HoboHookah is that most tequila bottles have some sort of fancy cork system as the bottle top.  Sadly, this prevents the standard HoboHookah adapter from working with these bottles…until now.

We discovered a few weeks ago the secret to getting the HoboHookah to work with some tequila bottles, mainly the taller bottles, but with a little modding even the shorter (read: Patron) bottles could be your domain.

1) Buy an extra standard hookah bowl gasket, or pluck one off of your other hookahs.

2) Remove the HoboHookah bottle gasket and the standard bowl gasket.

3) Place the standard HoboHookah bowl gasket around the ring that the HoboHookah bottle gasket was.  We recommend pointing the narrow part up, it seems to seal better that way.  The bowl gasket will have to stretch to make it work, but it’s strong, man.

4) Insert the HoboHookah into the mouth of the bottle.  Bam! Totally sealed, tequila hookah.

In our example we are using the Jose Cuervo 1800 bottle, which is a great base for the HoboHookah after this simple modification.  A lot of other tequila bottles, like Patron or Don Julio, are probably still too short for this too work, so you may have to wait for the HoboNargile with its changeable stem for those bottles.

I hope this helped.  We’ve been using our 1800 bottle for about a month now, and we really like its stability. 

We have another Hobocans Happy Hour up where we discuss the finer points of the perfect hookah session.  Check it out.
