Vaporbrothers Whip Hose - Clear (8008)

I appreciate that this plastic hose is graded safe for the intended use, and mine has stayed in good shape for a long time. It does the job effectively and this clear hosing material has more rigidity than the silicone hose -- this means it holds onto glass and ceramic more effectively and creates a tighter seal. However, the downside about this hose's rigidity is that it is less flexible and harder to manage whereas the silicone hose is easier to manipulate. Also, this hose, being clear, looks dirtier faster than the white silicone hose.
