OPR234 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Go to your local hardware store and pick up a few feet of plastic tubing.(yes, thats all they are) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I've never seen those things anywhere except at my local tobacco store. And god damn, do I hate that tobacco store. They seem to hate young people, goths, and people that look like they may smoke weed. That at least is judging by how they look at me when I walk in the door and demand to see my ID before I take two steps. But I digress. Are those things really worth their salt? I tested one at the shop, they seemed to have a nice enough draw, but I couldn't get past the feeling I was smoking through a pool hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPR234 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 They're actually not bad, after all, they are entirely washable and dont really hold flavors in the first place. But I still think you can get a better deal by going to the hardware store for some tubing and plastic pieces. They're horribly overpriced for what they're made of.

40 Thieves Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Arent' those disposable hoses in the picture? There are other washable hoses on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An ol' timer that owns a smoke shop at a local mall does the same. We're just looking around and immediately he asks for ID. I stopped going there a long time ago because i found a much better place. AA 250g tubs for 10-11 bucks each, MYA QT for 40 bucks, and much much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worr lord Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 For roughly the same price you can pick up a washable MYA hose. I like a hose to have weight and a nice feel to it, those plastic hoses feel pretty "cheap". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherkk Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I wouldn't be too hard on store owners that want to see your ID. Most likely any reputable business man should to avoid potential law infractions based on age. I know a local smoke shop that lost thier liscence for about 2 weeks due to some sort of infraction... And, thats not good business. I also know some shops that have never asked for my ID, but it is a big risk for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhatBeezie Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Yah I feel cheap when I use my plastic hose but it is good for a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 It's not so much the idea thing...I can totally see that. It's just the defensive "i have to see your ID before I even let you in here son" crap. They got raided like 2 years ago because the cops thought they had drug paraphanelia. Now they just all act like dicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a pain to take the time to drive/ride out there in the freezing cold, ready to spend the extra money to help support them, and to be slapped in the face for your trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAHkoo Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 hey i have two of those washable hoses...plastic. thats all i can say. i feel like im hookah'n out of a giant long flexible straw. it just has that generic feel too it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 Believe it or not, this is one of my favorite hoses. The second being the mya ones that have the metal tips. So, rather than everyone reminding me how much they hate this hose, I ask again, does anyone know of another retailer that sells them? I think I might have to go to the hardware store.

I own 3 hoses.. 2 mya washables (one with the metal tips and one without), and the plastic washable from h-s.. The metal tip and the washable are pretty much the only 2 I smoke out of.. I like the ease of cleaning of the plastic hose, and it's the one I take places (camping, outside, other people's houses, etc)... although, no, I don't know of another place that sells them.. *useless post* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 From what i know there a hookah-shisha only kinda product. Best bet is to go out and get some tubbing thats the same. Take the hose to your local hardware store and ask if they have hosing like that. Ive seen it before so it shouldnt be to hard to get. Then just do some improvising on the part that goes into the stem and the mouthpeice. Other than that your stuck waiting for H-S to get em back in stock XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
