Nine feet of silicone tubing, so the machine can stay on the table while you do not.
Key facts
9 ft long (our supplier states 274.32 cm)
Food-grade silicone
Our supplier lists it for the XQ2, Extreme Q and V-Tower
Of the devices we sell, that is the Arizer XQ2
Hose only — the glass elbow and mouthpiece are separate
Full description
Who this is for: XQ2 and Extreme Q owners who want to sit further from the unit than a 3 ft whip allows, and anyone whose tubing has gone cloudy or stiff.
Tubing is a consumable. It clouds, it stiffens, and eventually it stops gripping the glass at either end. None of that is a fault in the machine.
Silicone tolerates the heat a desktop unit puts out, so it does not soften at the end that meets the warm glass, and it stays neutral in taste and smell. It also stays flexible far longer than stiffer tubing, which matters more than comfort does: a stiff hose pulls against the glass and can drag the unit towards the edge of the table. Long-time users of these machines report all three consistently. Arizer’s own page calls this tubing “High quality Food/Medical grade tubing”. The trade-off is that silicone shows residue on the inside wall more readily.
Nine feet is a lot of hose. The practical point is reach: the unit stays where it is safest — on a solid surface, not on a lap.
Glass ends are not included. If yours are broken or brown, add the elbow and the whip mouthpiece.
In the box
1x 9 ft silicone hose (no glass attachments)
