Time For New Hose - But Which One?


Recommended Posts

Hello there folks, many salutes from Croatia!

I got few weeks ago new hookah - Aladin's Black Moon ~ 63 cm, really nice one piece, from Egypt!

I had problem with taste and smokes, then I got that is El Nakhla a bit too older ~ 10 years. :D Now I have access to Soex which is barely new (about 2-3 months, fresh :D ), and I really like that "pins" with molasses, no nicotine, no tar, just sweet and tasty smokes (I know that there are many people that doesn't like Soex, but you can't judge me :D )...

These days I'll get Aladin's Vortex bowl and replace that old Standard Egyptian, beside that, I'm buying new hose - but in doubt, don't know which one (I don't know nothing about hoses, at all), and at this moment I just have access to Aladin's hoses...

I have this one of these hoses; http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/60904_159114340768481_141467309199851_537160_3158615_n.jpg - on some German site it's written that's combination of Textile and Plastic and it's not washable (I've read that a little late, because I've washed it few times)... With that orginial stock default whatever hose I can feel pretty O.K. fruity taste (not sure, it's about 140 -> 160 cm) - BUT - when I remove hose and smoke through the port it's much much better and sweeter smoke!

I'm wondering and I need you help for replacing that stock hose - I have access to these one;

and;

Beside how that hoses look I don't know any information, which is washable (my opinion that those hoses aren't washable?), which is not, which is better, or best or materials made of (textile + plastic or leather?)! I need your help! Thank you pals!

Get a washable one e.g: [url="http://www.shisha-net.de/Hoses/Nammor-Hose/"]http://www.shisha-net.de/Hoses/Nammor-Hose/[/url]

If you want a non washable hose than a Khalil mamoon hose is good!

They will ship worldwide. They are German so expect good efficiency like a BMW haha.

Edit: I have no experience with those two hoses. I only use KM's or Washables because of their track record :)

We can, and we will. Besides, I would not buy into the no tar idea, there is no evidence that suggests that sugar cane is a safer alternative.

But there's evidence that tar is "healthier" than sugar cane?

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but tar is produced by combustion, so nothing really contains tar, its just a by-product of heating organic matter. Dont see why herbal would be any different.

I'm gonna have to stand by the Razan Washable Hose from nazarhookah.com, it's like the Nammor but not constructed like crap!

Pretty sure it's made in the same factory.

Tar has nothing to do with a petroleum product, like some people think. It stands for Total Aerosol Residue, and if you're smoking something made of plant matter, regardless of WHAT plant, you're getting tar. Soex is no better for you, minus the nicotine factor.

I'm pretty sure that any washable will treat you well. Never used a razan, but i'm ordering one tomorrow. They're good hoses by almost all accounts. Also, nammor, narbish.

ill just put up a fact I gathered about the customs in croatia

a guy ordered a cd for about 20 $, they charged him 75% the worth at the customs
thats kinda not cool for my pocket
maybe he only had bad luck
but what would they charge me if im getting something that says, hookah, shisha, or anything similar
I mean, there is a big business down here in smugling cigarettes (like almost everywhere in europe), I doubt a smoking product would be mildly tolled
perhaps when we enter EU...but im kinda not looking forward to it

lets leave politics for the serious forum, but...
I dont like the idea of croatia being part of eu

+ a little joke


they dont want us in the eu
why?
every unison (not sure of the noun)of countries that croatia has been part of has fallen apart
guess what will happen to eu :D
