Looking For The Right Hose

[flamingreverend]

I'm looking to pick up a new hose, but am not sure which to get. I have been happy with my long handle washable, though some have suggested that it may not be as washable as it says. In any case I'm looking for a hose of similar length with a metal mouthpiece that is both for-sure washable and has a removable handle (mine doesn't, but I've seen nearly identical hoses that do). I'm also curious about which has the best bore of the various metal hoses; while I love the pull on the plastic ones I don't enjoy smoking them as much. Any suggestions?

While i would advise against a metal tip and dont know of any washable hoses that come with one, but Hookah Company does have some great looking metal tips.

How about the mya ninja hose from southsmoke [url="http://www.southsmoke.com/pd-ninja-hose.cfm"]http://www.southsmoke.com/pd-ninja-hose.cfm[/url]
I have two of them but I did have a little problem with it under the black fuzzy part it wasn't air tight till I put some electrical tape around them
I'd post some pictures of the fix if this is the kind of hose you're looking for

Have you tried a leather hose? While they're not washable and don't have metal tips (at least the ones I've seen), they have the easiest draw I've every experienced. Plus, leather doesn't seem to ghost as bad as rubber. I'd definitely recommend trying one out.

I'm going to agree with ih303. Leather hoses, although not washable, have a great draw (and they are very durable if you take care of them)

thank you all for the input!


those metal tips on hookah company look nice, I assume they can attach to pretty much any hose with a removable head? Do you have any pictures of what they look like in action?

The ninja hose is pretty cool, though I'm not huge on the mya print that's easy enough to cover up. How is the airflow?

I don't think I've ever smoked a leather hose, what do they look like?

My hose looks exactly like this one: http://www.southsmoke.com/pd_long_handle_washable_hose.cfm
They say that it's made out of leather, but mine certainly isn't. I got it from social smoke three or four years ago, I think they said it was mya at the time.
