Claytron Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 So I have a MYA QT with the cheapest MYA hoses. They're fine and all, but the QT is a nice piece and I'd like to upgade the hoses.What is the best hose you can get?I would strike me that the best hose would be washable which would increase longevity. Have a nice feel while hold ing it. Have a nice mouth feel and pull. And as an added bonus it might look nice.Is there any kind of concensus out there about who makes the uber hose? As always, thoughts are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shonimus Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I've heard that ALL MYA hoses are washable. Atleast I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claytron Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 It sure doesn't seem like it as the wood inside the tips isn't finished so it would absorb water - that and the leather definitely isn't waterfriendly unless it's synthetic, but I haven't looked that closely. In anycase, I'm sure the $5 MYA hoses I haven't aren't the best ones out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioannisds Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Aside from maybe getting one of the more aesthetically pleasing Mya hoses, you already have the best, washable hose you can get. Here are some of their fancier offerings:[url="http://www.myasaray.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=911&DEPARTMENT_ID=36"]http://www.myasaray.com/store/item.asp?ITE...EPARTMENT_ID=36[/url]There are others on their website as well. I think the hose you have now is probably fine, and will last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_T Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 other than the mya hose with wooden ends that comes with the QT, I would say the same mya but with plastic ends is another great hose. Completely washable and no hose restriction when pulling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claytron Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 Doing some searches here, some people seem to really like the Khalil Maamon (or Tundra as they have been referenced as) hoses as well. Anybody used both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Social Smoke charges more for shipping, I think.Here's the results, from a ninja price comparison. HookahCompany: $24.20SocialSmoke: $24.87Thats for the red hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Hell I'd pay an extra 67 cents for green. The red tundora at hookahcompany would look so much better if there wasn't blue in the mouthpiece. It looks too patriotic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 The head pieces come in five colors I believe and with other types of head pieces (the stubbies), there are like 8 different colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glottis Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I'm probably gonna order one of those blue wide Mya hoses tonight, so before long I can post a report of its quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c4r80n Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I find the mya metal tipped hoses are better than the plain wood tiped (that comes with the mya). Even though they are pretty much the same hose except for the tip. For some reason, the cool metal on the tip and the taste is much better. I could be full of dookie, but that's what I notice. I never smoke out of my stock QT hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Lantern Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 How is the quality of the Tundora hose? From the pictures... it looks sorta like it was pieced together by a little kid. I'm basing this off of my Mya hose which has a really nice fit and finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with the vinyl tubing, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I have seen leather hoses in red, yellow, off-orange, green (both dark and lime), light and dark blue, purple and maroon. I've seen head pieces in red, orange, yellow, green , blue and black. Different shades, different styles. The last bunch of Kanzaman hoses I bought had "column", "Standard" and "Dice" headpieces, the latter of which are the finest headpieces I've ever smoked out of.

malakas Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Does anyone have one of the mya hoses with the extra long wooden handle? I'm considering getting one and want to know how well it works and if it'll fit in the hard case that mya gives with a lot of their hookahs.

Macho555 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I wanted to get one of those hoses from Social Smoke with the long handle, but I found out it wouldn't fit inside my case for my junior. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arik Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 The best Hookah hose is an Air conditioning hose and its also the cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzzzT Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I have owned a mya hose and I agree with Tangiers on leather hoses. I think the tundora hoses are the best. They pull really great and the tip feels much nicer to smoke from. Another plus about them is they don't seem to keep off flavors. I think this is because the hose is real leather and can breathe. As far as aesthetics goes I think they look really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Can't, here in So. Cal. Tough luck. I do have a couple from this other company...I have to call and find out the name. I have become disenchanted with the brand new Khalil Maamon hoses. They are attractive, but the same problems with the old Khalils seem to be getting worse and a strange hose flavor popped up, too. I will be reviewing a Khalil Maamon hose soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyWithTheGun Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 So does anyone have the Mya Wides? I'd really like to hear how they smoke. I have to replace the hoses on my hookah, and I want something with a really nice draw. I read somewhere else that someone was recomending them...it'd be great if I could get a review, so let me know if you get them, Glottis.BTW, off topic...does your nick happen to come from the game "Grim Fandango"? It seems the big monster guy was named Glottis in that one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownZero Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 From what I remember reading on the forum, the Mya long handle was pretty good - I was considering getting one till I realized that my hose that came with my SS hookah was pretty good. Also, all Mya hoses are washable... thats another thing I remember being posted by the owner awhile back. I prefer hoses with a longer handle. It really makes the session feel more relaxed.
