thehelios Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 The hose I currently use is a homemade one with salvaged metal tips from another hose. My question is where can you even find a hose with metal tips (mouthpiece and hose insert part)? I always see either wooden handle or plastic (razan) but never metal. Anyone have a clue who sells these things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Morgan Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I don't know of any that have a metal hose insert. Metal tipped hoses aren't particularly popular here from what I've gathered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal tipped hoses aren't particularly popular here from what I've gathered.This is my assumption: People are not so fond of the metal tips because of rust. My thought is that the rust isn't coming from the metal handle/insert but is actually forming from the wire crap that holds the hose tubing to the handles. In my homemade, I don't have anything extra holding the handle to the tubing and haven't experienced any rust from this handle. And seeing that this handle is well over a year old, and I haven't had any rust, I'm believing more in my assumption. I'm also avoiding wooden handles due to splinters. I haven't had splinters from previous experience, but I'm just taking precautions. That, and that the metal looks coolder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inino Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 ya in the long run, all my metal tipped hoses have given me a bad metallic taste. i would go with plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobo_piggy Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 How about stainless steel mouthpieces. H-S has them.http://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/conf...;idproduct=3976 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmunRa Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hookah Shisha central has them. I think they call them the Mod hoses. They are very nice hoses, but they do not last as long a the Nammour hoses, nor do they flow any where near as well. I used the mod hoses for awhile, but once you go Nammour, you will not go back.I think you can get "stylish" tips for the nammours now, too.

Sorry if I didn't make it clear enough in the first post, but I'm looking for a completely medal handle and insert section or at least a hose that comes like that.

Capt. Morgan Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 http://www.hookahforum.com/?showtopic=27478Somebody stated in the thread that metal mouth tips get a funky taste to them in here, actually I think it got mentioned several times.

The hookah that came with this hose is either a bambino or bambino rip off. He has 5 more of the same hookah in different colors and each of the hoses handle's and insert are the same color (shiny purple, shiny green, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atdi Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I highly reccommend the bar barkir hose. Not only does it look badass and flow very well (no metal taste either), it easily doubles as a murder weapon. I carry one in my left pant leg every time I visit the ghetto and it's always kept me safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
