Johnny_Z Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Okay, well... after smoking my medium sized Egyptian hookah's Cobra hose for over 2 years now I'm starting to wonder if it might be time to retire the old beast. It still works fine and smokes well, but it is starting to get a little hard to pull smoke through and I have been wanting to get a new hose anyway. So I decided I should resist my temptation to get another Cobra hose and try something a little different this time. I know the Classic Egyptian style hoses smoke fairly well, but tend to wear out a lot faster then I would like. I've heard MYA's Cloisonné hoses are pretty nice and they look quite attractive as well. So I'm curious, what are you guy's favorite hoses these days? I'm hoping for something that will not only look nice and feel good in my hand, but last for a long time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I'd go for a MYA. I've got about 7 now and haven't had a problem with any of them.The Cloisonné look great too, compared to the normal ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicada Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 i love the mya hoses. ive used all different types and these stay clean longer, and pull better than any o thers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathazar Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Earlier this afternoon I talked with George over at HookahCompany, and he said that they now have in-stock the newer version of the washable synthetic leather hoses from MYA, and he said that the hose is much wider and provides a better smoking experience than the other MYA hoses. This is a new hose, and they just got it in-stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Back in the day I used to recomend to people getting their hoses from Home Depot. Check out their plumbing isle and look for 3/8" vinyl tubing. Its like 2.99 for 10', or 3.99 for 20'. I normally get the 20' pieces and just cut it into 1x 8' section, and 2x 6' sections. They are ofcourse washable, clear, very flexible, and let in MUCH more smoke than typical hoses. The only drawback to them is that they don't look authentic compared to real hookah hoses. But when it comes to functionality, I choose the Home Depot hoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Icky!@&^!#! PVC hose. Yash, you are sick. I prefer leather hoses...a specially modified head piece and I will put my hose up against your radiator refugees any day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JByer323 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I just got a new MYA hose to try, it's super thick, has a long wooden handle, and smokes superbly. I'd take pictures, but my digital camera battery is AWOL and my nice one is at work, so you can just use your imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinshisha4life Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 My favorite hoses are mya's. They are very free flowing, and the hit is almost effortless. Other hoses ive tried seem to have a hard draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PipeSmokeMcGee Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 yeah, I think you'll get an almost unanimous decision that MYAs are the best... I've used one and it feels great. It has a great flow, feels tough, and doesn't kink/coil near as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Hey yeah! Long time no see brother man! Its a real shame about your medical problems preventing you from smoking the hookah for now, but I do hope your recovering well. And yeah, where the heck has Cypress been anyway!? Oh, and on a note thats actually "on topic" to this thread... I ordered a brand spankin' new MYA Cloisonnè (sp?) hose this afternoon. Its going to be going on a 26" Egyptian from Hookah-Shisha.com, so we'll see how it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
