xpimpitox Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 hey a hardcore hookah head i know through a buddy of mine has diffeerent hoses for a different flavor. he has a set main flavors he smokes so he uses those hoses for said flavor. kinda interesting. anyways anybody else do this i was thinking of doing it for my undisputed fave strawberry but i dunno money is tight to buy a hose i really dont need...what ya'll think?

yashman19 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 It's not unusual to do something like this, especially since strong flavors tend to blend with weaker ones. You know how if you smoke something like mint, you can still taste the mint in later sessions? I think using a different hose for EACH flavor is a bit excessive, but it wouldn't hurt to have a hose dedicated to mint, maybe one for cola, and then one for your fruit based flavors.

arik Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I dont really do it, I use an air conditioning hose ( which i belive works best ) and i change it every 3-4 month. it only costs about $3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I have washable hoses, so if flavours start to linger, I simple wash them. Having said that, I do have a specially designated Nakhla Chocomint hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 i do it in a smaller sense. I use my mya hose for most flavours, save my cobra for my cola, and the one that came with my ss hookah for mint. For what i smoke most of the time it works rather well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htdsngup Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I Have a dedicated Tangiers hose because no matter how "light" the flavor, its still some freakin strong flavor.I do this because Tangiers flavors seem to bully my AF flavors around... the passion fruit beat the crap out of apple last night.

unleashtheclown Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 No offense persianpride, but that hose doesnt look very good. I use vinyl hoses with tips from a tundora hose that I got from hookahcompany. I like the tundora hose, except that its short. vinyl cleans very easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Yeah, but is the surgical tubing USED? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aronparsons Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 If your hose(s) are washable, it just makes more sense to clean them out. I use one hose for 2-3 sessions and then clean it; I have 5 hoses so if I want to smoke during the time one is drying, it's no problem (they usually dry overnight anyways). I figure if washing can rid of the smell of kashmir, my washing method works fine. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1m9x Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 i was at a hookah bar that used the airconditioner tubing but with special plastic mouthpieces that fit into the tube and seemed to be made for hookah, anyone else seen anything like this that could tell me what it is and where to get it? I think they were decent, easily washable, and wouldn't absorb flavours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakemonster Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 You can get surgical tubing at Lowes and Home Depot. Should be right over by the vinyl tubing in Plumbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyGuy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Yeah, I use the vynal or w/e clear hose for ice makers or refridgerators *sorry for the spelling*.... but if yall are gonna do this, make sure to atleast use a food grade tube... less likely to get sick off of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessai Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I have a seperate hose for kashmir peach itself cause its so damn good to smoke it out the same hose. When you smoke other flavors like cola,double apple, and mint put that hose up for a day or two if you switch flavors out soon after.I have 3 hookahs and 7 hoses I dunno how i accumulated so many but they're there.
