thatonethere Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I'm thinking on getting some decent looking washable hoses that don't break the bank and will hopefully stand the test of time. At the price listed on HJ's site, these look promising. Has anybody had any experiences using this kind of hose? Are they sturdy, and worth the price.

Toxik916 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I love my healthy hose. The draw is comparable to a stock mya hose. I modded mine to a home depot hose and haven't looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the search engine on this site instead of checking the "hose review" section page by page. There are some reviews for this hose, and it looks like the main complaint is that the hoses are too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NimbleCow Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Yeah hose is a bit short and the tubing feels cheap and always wants to curl after lots of use/washes. I'm glad I have one though sometimes I take it to lounges if I don't take my Grand. You won't feel like a sultan smoking with it like you would with a Grand or a KM hose but if you're curious, why not throw one in your next order for $3?

Charley Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 for what they are there pretty good. I used to use them back before I got my nammor I would use them till they started ghosting then I would wash them then use them again till they started ghosting then I would toss it. they look cheap they feel cheap but they are meant to be cheap. just remember you get what you pay for in the world of hookah (unless you go to a local shop then you usually get less then what you pay for.)

mushrat Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 The healthy hose is designed to be a disposible hose for one time use. The only problem is that they have a plastic taste that takes several smokes to get the taste out. This of course defeats the purpose. They are short, narrow, and look cheap as hell. Just build your own hose out of plastic pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcracer_tx Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I have one, and honesly it is a piece of crap... Both ends of the hose needed glued because they leaked horribly. The draw is also garbage... almost as bad as the couple mya hoses I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
