ethpants Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I was wondering about the optimal inner diameter of a good hose. I'll get 3 hoses with my hookah in a few days, but since they're non-washable I was thinking of making my own. (my wallet's empty after the hookah-purchase) From what I've gathered, the Mya wide washable hose is one of the most popular around here. Anyone have the approximate inner diameter of that one? Also, has anyone else who's made their own hose made some mistakes that they care to share? . (Not that shower-hose-mod mind you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Its really not worth the trouble. I suppose its a nice project if you could do it right, but I've made two of them out of tubing, and they simply don't bend in the way you need to smoke with. I don't know how many time I've jerked my hookah because the hose wouldn't follow along. If you can finf the correct diamter, then I suppose go for it, but other wise...just save some cash and get Myas. They are great quality, and pretty hard to kill. Thats my advice.

ethpants Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Well, lets just say I'm feeling really artsy and want to make my own design =) I'll probably get Myas eventually regardless, but I just thought of this as a fun project. My plan is to use a hose with ~7mm inner-diameter, but I'd be thankful if I could get feedback on that decision, since that's practically the only thing I'm not sure about.

ethpants Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Well, we've got a wood lathe at home, and since I can handle that pretty well I was thinking of lathing my own handle and plug. Thats a big reason to why I came up with the idea in the first place actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
