You just inhale through the hoses. The one we got has 3 hoses and everyone just inhales at once. If you're not hittin it you gotta stick your finger on the opening so smoke doesn't leak out. I guess you can kinda clear a hookah..
But you'd have to wait for the embers to stop burning basically. Thats cool though cause everyone can hit at the same time, I've seen em before but no one's offered to let me use it. We need a pot thread.
My friend made a hookah out of a tea kettel and four peices of plastic tubing. Worked out alright. He almost got caught because his dad came down and asked what it was. My friend just said they were drinking soda out of it. Yazerrr!
HAHA, Soda! Has his dad ever smoked pot before? Any previous smoker would know in a heartbeat what it was for. Did he put the bowl on the spicket part?
