@rabican Niiiiiice. Have you looked into getting a diffused downstem for that EHLE? After that upgrade, it will be perfect, IMO.

@Rabican. Where did you buy your Ehle from? Do you know which model it is? Did your glass attachment come with the SSV or did you have to order it separately?
thanks

I'm pretty sure it's a 250ml (12"-15") that he got off everyonedoesit.com. The adapters you'll need to get off the official silver surfer site (under accessories tab at the top, glass on glass water attachment). Other stores, like vapeworld, sell adapters that will work, but there's arent angled like the ones on the SSV store, and that makes them harder to pull because you cant really grip the glass, you have to pull on the hose a bit, which may slip off. Also, the SSV site has colored adapters and both 14/18.8mm sizes in stock, seems like others site have a much more limited stock.
@the ob .... not really sure TBH. Some really seems to come uncurled easier than others. Think it might have to do with how tightly wound it was during storage and shipping. The stuff i got with my dbv straightened out in a few weeks, the spare hose that was tucked in the side and kinked up is still stupid to this day. The hosing that came with my ssv is pretty straight now, but I laid it out flat and put some objects on it to hold it flat for a week or so at first and just used old hose. I've asked in other threads/posts how ppl straighten their hoses out, but havent got many suggestions.
Had another idea for a convenient ssv accessory that they should (but probably wont) create. I have these hangers for my guitars on the wall:
And they have made my life much easier, compared to using cases and typical stands. If i want to play i just grab my fav guitar (which i keep on the wall closest to my desk) right off the wall and start playing, and if i need to do something, i can hang it right back up w/o worrying about dogs or ppl knocking it over and shit. I was thinking, since the standard ssv bowls flare out at the tip, that a mini version of this could be made, maybe one that could possibly use some form of adhesive instead of screws, to be more convenient, or an option for both ideally. It's just that i get interrupted during a bowl so often, and have to clear a spot to lay the hose down in such a way that the bowl doesnt dump or get knocked off, and i also need to make sure the glass isnt too hot and touching the tubing or anything else that might melt or whatever - it would be a lot easier if i could just hang it where it cant get dumped. Maybe it could even just be a stand or holder of some sort that could sit on the desk/table.
Of course, if someone created my bowl-cap idea i posted a while back, idle bowls being dumped wouldnt be an issue at all.
