DJ_HOSSEIX Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 There are Nammors/Razans that have a wider diameter and are pretty popular amongst the hookah community and there are also Mya hoses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modisess Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Yep, nammors or razans...if you want, ditch the whole washability thing and go for a KM hose.. i think they look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 nammor or razan being able to wash the hose is extremely valuable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Make your own. I used vinyl tubing, a brass fixture of some sort fit as a mouthpiece, and I used a foot of PVC as a handle. To finish it up I wrapped the handle in felt and spiraled twine around it to keep it in place, and made a hosecover. 100% washable, good airflow, not gonna fall apart like a nammor/razan, and cost maybe $2 and 20 minutes of time.

There's 2 threads on hwo to do this in the how-to-funhouse forum section.AK, post a picture of your home made hose\? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voski Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 If u do decide to buy a nammor or Razan buy a tube of super glue too. You will eventually need to reglue it back together. There is an unmentionable vendor comming out with a new washable hose next week though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aethiolas Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I would def love to see a picture of that homeade hose. I personally have debated on making one but looks are a big factor to me honestly(and even more so to the wife) so I need something that looks good too.

antouwan Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 you could make one and then snag a cover from hookah-shishai made a couple but threw them out. they smoked great and all, but were horribly unflexible.i have a nammor and it's okay, it doesn't get used much, thanks to my km hoses <- the. shit.

Dom Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 the only truely washable hoses out there are the Razan and the Nammor. all the others that claim to be washable are not. like the "km washable," "km ultimate," and the "mya washable." if you take them apart, you'll see metal coils inside. that will rust over time even if it is never washed. even washable hoses do not need to be washed. the advantage of a washable one is so you can leave it out in the garage or somewhere and it won't rust from the humidity. that's why i like my Nammor. i just keep it hooked up to my hookah in the garage, but my egyptian leather hose hangs up in the house, where there's less chance it would rust.

wliu003 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 went ahead and ordered some nammors. that seems to be the most liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95EJvtec Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I have nammors and I never wash them .. whats the point ? People dont wash non washable hoses .. I just have a few different ones for strong flavors like chocolate mint and others .. and my nammors have never fell apart after almost a year of use .. guess the secret is be gentle and don't wash them =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FactorE Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 razon or nammor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95EJvtec Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Well tbh I would have been washing them but I didn't feel like it then I learned they fall apart if you wash them so I stopped and it's worked so far who knows maybe I've just been lucky ? and yes irony indeed but could it also be that the whole washable thing is just for appeal anyways ? .. I mean does anyone know the manufacturers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean does anyone know the manufacturers ?well Romman (the guy who makes Romman Tobacco) made the Nammorand Nazar Hookah made the Razanit's thier names backwards. pretty clever, i think.and yes, hot water would make it fall apart faster because the glue used is like a rubbery sticky kind of glue and if it gets too hot, it just sort of loosens up and slides off. a little electrical tape and you're back in business. my Nammor fell apart and i just used elect tape and i have no problems with it. easy fix.

Eventhough they're washable the glue they use on it is kinda water soluble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 i dont see the purpose in buying any washable hoses. a) cant wash them washing them doesn't do anything. most of the flavoring isn't water based anyway so you gotta get rid of it other means (usually destroys the hose in one way or another) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToncSTAR Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 you should watch out. i ordered 2 mya "WASHABLES" once, thinking it would be fine to wash them, next day hooked it up to the hookah, took one puff, rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polychronius Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) No... Point...? Yeah, sure, if you dont mind smoking from a hose clogged up by pure crap with a taste of the same. I wash all my hoses, MYA, Nammor, random no-name Egyptians, works fine. The exeption being a no-name Egyptian wich had papertubing for the handle. Hot water + soap + brush and dry it up carefully.
