Same from me
Forgot to update everyone. thanks Karl. Same from me. Ditto on the hoses they are worth the wait. I have tried to get info about straight mouthpieces from up in the north country!. No response. Anyone know anything? Did he sell the mold?

Much closer than you might think on both colors.......Robohips77 wrote:A run of black hoses ae available. Yellow will be around the bend. PM me if anyone wants the particulars. If anyone has a sample blue hose old style that he can gather color from please let him know.

Stuart I want to post this so I can be as honest and open with you and everyone else on the subject as I can. On and off for the last year or so I have been trying to communicate with you about your hoses….So have thousands of other people. When those crap fluorescent yellow hoses were made you said you were throwing in the towel….Then after dozens of people made posts getting all mushy and kissing your ass you said you would make the silicone ones again. Once again I tried to communicate with you about them…….NO REPLIES. Not even an E-mail saying kiss my ass, I am not interested in selling you a hundred sets of my hoses…... Right now I am 100% out of any kind of hose and I have customers E-mailing me daily needing hoses…I can’t buy and sell regulators when you have to suck out of the cans to get air. I can no longer rely on the whim of others to provide a crucial component part for our regulators. Yes, I have taken steps to procure a large quantity of hoses. NO they will not be silicone. NO they will not be in some crap colors or one piece hose/mouthpiece assemblies…..But I will have hoses soon and they will be at an affordable price. This is the US and competition is what it’s about. Offer a good product for a fair price, give good customer service and you will do well.
You made/make great hoses I have had several pair of them. I wish you all the best and I know you will sell a lot of hoses but frankly people are sick and tired of the BS…..In the next 30 days I will have hoses and another improved component part for our regulators that I think folks will enjoy as well. Stuart, please don’t take this personal as my intention was not to come off as being angry, upset or mean to you

Bryan, thanks for the quick reply. Would have been nice to know your intentions sooner. Good luck with your new venture.
I can't say I'm good at replying to emails but I gave up emailing you when they kept being rejected.
I have some black if anyone is still interested, but this is the end of the road as far as I'm concerned. As Bryan said this is about money and being outside the US makes it uneconomical to continue.
Thanks for all those who supported me.

His hoses are the best made so far, excluding the originals, but I also have had a difficult time getting return emails from Stuart? Once again Bryan has come to the rescure for all of us vintage DIVERS! The collectors that don't dive will undoubtably not be interested.
Hey Bryan are the new hoses you are making going to be a little longer? Also are they going to be softer than the hoses that Dan and Mossback had made over the years? I appreciated Dan's repros, but always felt them to be a little too short and stiff for me as compared to the originals I have used.
I can't wait to get some of the new hoses as I have a few regs that I have to breathe off the can horn right now!
I am sure that if Stuart ever can get his production flaws or problems ironed out he will still sell his hoses to many.

I wish this was true but no rescue here, I'm not the driving wheel on this one, another friend of ours is. I'm just helping out on the selection and buying a lot of them so I can have some for folks to purchase1969ivan1 wrote: Once again Bryan has come to the rescure for all of us vintage DIVERS!
