Yellow hoses

[treasureman]

Are the yellow hopses that are out there the stretchy style , or the regular style, and how much do they cost. Any arriving at VDH soon?

Allan,
I've never seen a pink label before. Is there something you would like to tell us? Did you pull that rig out of the closet, so to speak?!

[Bryan]

You should see if Jerry can do a run of those pink labels Allan. They fit perfectly with those neon yellow hoses. If you could find something else in the vintage diving line to screw up in neon green you would have the complete Tusa color spectrum from the 90's covered.

[duckbill]

Just make sure the pink labels say "DW- 'Mithtral'". However, Voit green is actually the complimentary color to pink.

I know that cameras and lighting can make people who don't know any better see a color brightness or shade that isn't really there, but is that label REALLY pink!?

Actually it is Orange. Here is a closeup:

See what happens when you have too much time? Maybe I better get back to planning Sand Dog IV, working on the Vintage DVD, and making all of the stuff that I make.

Finally we get to see what yellow hoses are supposed to look like. Thank You Nemrod.

The photo I posted is not a tease, there is hope for those who yearn for the real deal, authentic hoses in amazing silicone. Good things come to those who learn patience grasshopper. N

the mouth piece is also in amazing shape

Sorry Bryan for three posts in a row, lol, standigup, that mouthpiece I got from the Going Under dive shop in Minnesota several years back He had made molds and some other stuff and made a few and then I am told he sold the tooling but I have no idea to whom. It is an exact reproduction. Dan over at VSS has some very nice black ones that are just as authentic but of course not yellow. It certainly looks good with the authentic color silicone hoses. Hang in there folks.

It looks like you attached a peparoni to your regulator.

talk about a weird taste.

[OystrPir8]

oh - that was to Allan by the way. I know peparoni isn't yellow

I had a good chuckle over the green hoses. Here is a true story for you. The green hoses you show for sale, Bryan, are the exact hoses a guy in our club hooked up to a homemade air compressor. He had this air compressor on a dock at Lake Geneva and started up the compressor. There was absolutely no air intake higher than the exhaust. Nothing. Now, this was years ago, maybe 35 or so. Of course this guy never dove, but had all the equipment. He unravelled this green hose, about 50 feet of it, and started the engine on the compressor. He had somehow rigged a single hose regulator on this thing and was on the dock breathing out of it. Remember....the exhaust is going who knows where, and probably getting sucked in the intake and this guy is breathing carbon monoxide. So he breathed on the regulator a little bit, then offered everyone a chance to go use this homemade hookah rig underwater off the dock. No one there took up the offer to say the least. This guy had more money than brains. He then bought a milk truck and took off the stainless steel milk storage container and proceeded to 'make' a decompression chamber out of it.
He actually cut out port holes in the container and installed portholes from shipwrecks. I kid you not! In 38 yrs of diving, I have yet to see him get in the water. He also had an Army Duck he was going to use in Lake Michigan for wreck diving. I had forgotten this until I saw those green hoses. Thanks a lot....I now have to clean up coffee off my computer screen and have tears running down my face from laughing.
