404notfound Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I started making a hose last night with nearly the same parts delSol_si used (using an extra nammor mouthpiece I picked up from HJ), but after it was constructed I realized it was lacking a proper handle and came here. I ended up using a 1/2" ID black vinyl hose with 2 1/2" ID PVC adapters, an 8" PVC pipe for the handle, and nylon barbs for the hose and mouthpiece. I would like to put a different mouthpiece on it but will have to find something to fit over the barb properly.

The draw on this hose is fantastic. Also hey first post. Started lurking this forum awhile back when I was deciding on whether to buy a Pharonie stem (I did, right before HJ sold out of them) and finally decided to sign up. Seems like a great group of knowledgeable people around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretender85 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I like that black one..wouldn't mind putting together something like that with some kind of silver thread/yarn laced into it..but im lazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majid Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Real nice man. I always thought hoses could be cheaper and designed smarter but never tried making one myself. I'm messing around with parts to make a dishwasher safe hookah atm but i'm not too experienced in using tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always use the H-S washable hoses but I wanted to see if I could pull together a DIY solution using delSol_si's thread and it didn't take long at all or cost much of anything. I would like to try doing a more complex design with my next one, but this time around the crisscross designs felt too complex once I got down to actually working on it..

IainUM Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 DelSol has been banned for a while, dude. i doubt he will respond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Yep, sadly he won't be able to respond. We still keep in touch and I can tell you that he doesn't really make them anymore because he's so busy with his woman and school. I have one of his hose handles and it's all I use. Friggin' fantastic. Tapatalk'd via iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vendetta_revived Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hey!! It wasn't that old a thread now was it? I just wish I had been around the time he was making these and was on the forum. I saw the video of how to make em but as much as I like my country, we are just so disorganized. Hardware stores are just nothing but completely scattered all over within themselves and everything you're looking for needs to be described like "a plastic pipe that looks like this and that" and "a plastic piece that connects pipes and stuff". Went out today but couldn't find those parts for the life of me! :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahLover25 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) I'm agree with ya Vendetta. Wish he was still around. Then again his probably smashing girls left and right.

[/quote] Well I am trying but no luck so far...and while looking for stuff, I found out that chains like Home depot, lowe's, Walmart and Ikea have been trying to negotiate with our govt for years to let em open their stores here, but the stupid govt. has some kind of a policy that requires foreign companies to operate on a joint venture with one of the Indian companies. Stupid buttplugs say that it somehow prevents the smaller family run business from going out of business, beats me how though. Govt. policies my ass! We got enough chains here selling useless stuff, we can use some lowe's I tell you. I hope it happens...till then, keep bragging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Oh yeah, chains definitely put the small businesses out of business. We here in America can tell you all about that. Haha. Tapatalk'd via iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendetta_revived Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Well, they would do it even if they create a joint venture with one of the local companies (required to own a 49% stake in the venture). So what's the point? We have our companies running retail chains selling everything from shoes to clothes to fruits and stuff (pretty much everything apart from the hardware supplies), and I bet they are putting people out of business just as much. A company selling that too wouldn't effect the small businesses anyway because as I said, none of the hardware retailers even know what the parts are once I tell em what I'm looking for, I've been to almost a dozen stores since I saw this thread and each time they look at me as if I'm asking for rocket science equipment. :-s Hell, if you can't run a business well, then may be it deserves to be taken out! The govt just can't make up it's damn mind to whether run a socialist economy or a capitalist one, and we consumers have to bear the brunt. I'll leave it at that now because this discussion doesn't suit here but man am I pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I haven't been to India, but I have a feeling they're doing it for good reason... Let me put it this way- India, China, etc... These countries are huge exporters. Meaning they make money. The US is a huge IMPORTER, meaning we don't make shit here anymore and we're all spoiled with Wal-Mart, Home Depot, etc. The US's economy ain't doing too hot. India's is booming, along with China and others. So yeah, there's a reason why your gov doesn't want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
