ih303 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 We're using AF Healthy Hoses now, which are great because they're cheap and easy to clean, but let's face it - they look like crap. A lot of people get really turned off by it.What kind of hoses have you seen used in lounges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tikhman Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 best place here uses the AF healthy hose. It was a bit of a turn-off the first time, but you see how good it is and forget all about the way it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoapplesplease Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) I think you shold stick with those AF healthy hoses.And offer your regular customers a chance to buy and leave a razzan/ nammor hose there at the bar.Kinda like people have there own beer/coffee mugs at some bars/resturants.Put a cool name tag on them and hang them on the wall of hookah masters.Then before/after each use give'em a quik clean and ready to go.

The bar in Seattle we used to go to used KM hoses. They felt and looked like my Ultimates, but were older. Not the bright colors of the ones available now.They also has the standard KM hoses with the crossed leather decoration down the handles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsboy Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I have been using AF healthy hoses for years now. I have not found anything better yet. But I am open to try anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih303 Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 I have no problems with the healthy hose other than the fact that it does look a bit cheap. A lot of people only care about appearance. I can go down the list of why the Healthy Hose is such a great hose, but all they see is that it's made from cheap plastic that whistles when you blow in it.The problem we're having is with a good method of washing 50+ hoses every night. We're using the red, green, pink, and brown colors of hose tips exclusively with fruity, minty, floraly, and non-fruiy (i.e. chocolate, latte, etc.) respectively. But we still have crazy ghosting.Anyone found a quick and easy way to clean large quantities of washables hoses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RingsMaster Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 the lounge i used to go to used man made hoses, nammor tips on both ends and what looked like the hosing that came in my nammor but underneath the fabric. they look kinda sketchy but smoke great. most likely easy to wash too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing. Man-made vs. what? Natural? Perhaps some places use sheep intestines or elephant trunks or something. Maybe Bamboo shoots.

The problem we've encountered is it's hard to get all the hoses filled with water. We've tossed around the idea of building some sort of contraption out of a hose and pvc pipe with a bunch of holes drilled in it to seat several hoses at once to run water through them. I just wish there was an easier way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
