Dr. B Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) I knew I'd get around to it eventually... Here's mine:10' hose + end-piece lengths (~16"). IDs are: Hose: 1/2"; Handle and other end: 3/8"; metal mouth tip: 3/16" or so... I forget.Comes apart into 4 pieces.

delSol_si Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Man, this really makes me wish I had a stash of old hoses. I only have one hose right now. I looked on HC because I remember them having some really cool tips, but they are all like $10, which defeats the purpose of this. I think I may just have to go to Home Depot and Lowes and see if I can find a cheap way to make a handle and tip.I REALLY like that chrome hand as well. I am also really wanting to do that quick connect mod to my hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mess up an end, just clip and start over. Go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could probably kill some one by clunking them in the head with one if i really wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hartwell778 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Do you think it would be safe to use a galvanized steel nipple instead of the brass one? My home depot didnt have any nipples longer than 6" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of brands of tubing out there and not all of them are nearly as flexible as others.One place to look for a large selection of tubing (albeit it will cost a bit more) would be places that sell watercooling equipment for computers. That and with a little searching around on some more hardcore computer forums and you can find plenty of comparisons of tubing on how much they bend and things like that.Tygon is a great brand for flexible tubing, but it will set you back about $3 a foot.
