Hello! Question About Finding Extra-long Hoses!


Recommended Posts

Hey everybody! I've been lurking for a long time, but this is my first post. I have a question about hoses...I was wondering if anyone could tell me where to get the longest hose available. I wish to find the longest one I can, as I think that long hoses look pretty sweet, as long as it is practical to smoke with it. Thank you so much!

One guy went so far as to make a hookah out of a 5 gallon water bottle...I believe he had like a 50ft garden hose for his hose...said it worked descent too. Your miles may vary :-) But yes, as others stated, the how to funhouse has many many recent posts about making your own hoses, check it out!!!

Go to the nearest fleet farm or home depot or other home store and grab your self a 5/8th vinyl tube. I made 20ft home depot hose and it smokes better than any hose I've ever smoked, even better than a Nammor.

For more info on the best hose ever, go to the how to funhouse and find a "make a hose" thread.

longest buyable hose i'd say is about 8ft. i think its the Mya redwood/xxl handle hose.

it seems so many people are jumping on this bandwagon that is "vinyl hosing". seems like jsut another fad to me, jsut a few months ago everyone would push the nammor hose in a thread like this. wouldn't know though, ahvent tried modding my own.

If there is a problem with the width of the mouth/tail pieces on your previous hoses, don't even use them and buy a hose that'll fit OVER the whole stem port. You want a wide hose, Damn sure that'll be wide enough.

I'm very content with my 20 footer, Could use a 40 footer though so I can smoke my way to the garage where the action is taking place.

20 foot hose+hobohookah+starbuzz blueberry+lienies honey weiss+people everywhere to be seen=sickass party

Throw in a 40/50 footer instead of a 20 footer, no slag between the house and the garage, baaaaallin'.

This scenario plays back every weekend, it never fails.

i know, the hoses can be real wide, but your fitting the metal pices into the hose, not on the outside of it. air flow is restricted throughout the whole hookah by the smallest opening the air flows through. so, no matter how wide your hose is, or how many holes there are in your base, if your hose port is real tiny, or the metal mouthpiece of your home depot hose is real thin, then your whole pull i srestricted to that diameter.

eric explained it to me a few months ago, referring me to this article aobut the "Venturi Effect"

That's why you don't even bother with the hose ports, and get a vinyl tube big enough to put over, not into the stem port. That way, the only limiting restriction is how big your actual stem port is. Your hose could be WIDE I tell ya,

i'm with search on this one. aesthetics are key form me too. when i had to mod my cobra hose before i could get a nammor, i was pretty sad, and used my buddy's hookah the majority of the time. haha.

Thank you, everybody, for all of the replies! I think i will try to make my own from Home Depot stuff. My only gripe is that I really like the look of the wire-wraped leather hoses, like the Mya ones, but I'm pretty sure I can make it look awesome! Thanks!
