Sarah at Hot Head Source is sending me a new torch that won't get overly-hot, and we need to find a better hose. Any suggestions on the hose?
"Mostly non existent teethy things" are called "barbs"

Try to find hose made in US of A and from reputable manufacturer and check markings on hose to see that it really is LPG gas certified to 350 psi...

Fault in hot from HH and new torch is not going to make any difference.... Fault lies in poor CHINES PRODUCT and retailer who is not aware of the crap product they are selling.....

Does not matter if its on a hose on a HH or back yard BBQ, or a weed burner or turkey frier, IT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED....

There ere so many hose manufacturers out there its hard to recommend and specific one....
