What'S The Widest Hose?

[dune024]

I'm looking for a hose with the widest diameter throughout, resulting in the easiest pull possible out of any hookah hose.

Granted, I want nice hoses too (and I have some), but right now I just want the most functional hose possible.

Things to consider:
-I dislike the long end sticking out of the hookah (like on many KM hoses, or the Narbish)
-I prefer a short handle (like the [url="http://www.hookah-shisha.com/p-5118-mya-hookah-hose-wide-wood-handle.html"]Mya Wide Wood Handle Hookah Hose[/url]), but the short handle hoses never seem to have as wide of a gauge or mouthpiece as the longer handled ones.
-Hoses I've tried:

-KM hoses I've tried (in order from best pull to least, as I've found after many sessions with all)
KM Hose from TheHookah.com (this one seems to be the best pull out of any hose that I've ever tried. It also doesnt have a long piece sticking out of the hookah. The website says its washable but not sure about that. If anyone knows please fill me in).
KM Pro
KM Ultimate Hose/Grand Hose
[url="http://www.hookah-shisha.com/p-5285-khalil-mamoon-hookah-hoses.html"]KM leather hoses from h-s[/url]



So - my conclusion is that this is the widest gauge hose (plus may be washable? idk) that i've found so far : KM Hose from TheHookah.com

Anyone know of one better for pull?

The KM "AS" hose is definitely the widest KM hose I have seen. The pull feels better than the Narb, Razan, and every other KM hose I have used too.

The hose port end isn't the biggest, but isn't really smaller either

Where can i find that?

You need some restriction or you're not going to get any draw

[Brandon`]

There is a certain amount of thickness you can go up to... If you go to thick you won't be able to draw.... you'll pass out trying to get some smoke...

^^^ eventually youll just be inhaling air and will get weak smoke. to get a good easy pull you must also use a consistent whole pattern and packing technique.

Make that 3 Ryan, that hose is just great. I know I really really like mine.

Make your own and you can make it as wide as you want, check the how-to funhouse.

[Stuie]

Anything bigger than 1/2 an inch is a waste because even on KMs there is a point along the smokes journey that will bottleneck at 1/2 or smaller before it gets to the hose.

Gotcha....so whats the difference between the KM AS Pro hose from Hookah John - [url="http://hookahjohn.com/Khalil-Maamoun-AS-Pro-hose-131.htm"]http://hookahjohn.co...ro-hose-131.htm[/url] - and the KM Pro hose from thehookah.com?

price?

I agree with the above. Also, why don't you wait for the narb V4 to be released? I should be available in a couple of days. It would be like the V3, but with a shorter end.
