Definition
A hose spring is a small metal coil, usually made of stainless steel, attached to the beginning of a shisha hose. Its main purpose is to prevent the silicone hose from kinking at the area where it connects to the fitting. The spring is about 5 cm long and ensures the hose remains flexible but kink-resistant—improving airflow and extending the hose's lifespan.
How it works
How Hose Spring works
The hose spring is slid over the first part of the silicone hose, right where the hose connects to the shisha hose fitting. Due to its spiral structure, it mechanically supports the hose and prevents it from kinking due to excessive bending or pressure. This keeps the airflow constant and the smoking experience free from blocked airways.
Benefits
Why Hose Spring convinces
- Prevents kinks: Keeps the hose continuously open without airflow interruptions.
- Longer hose durability: Less material fatigue from constant bending.
- Easy retrofit: Can be quickly and easily attached to almost any silicone hose.
- Durable material: Usually made of stainless steel—long-lasting and stable.
