Should I own 2 Kraken Double Hose?

Mon Jul 16, 2018 12:53 pm

I just purchased my first Kraken this year. I'm wondering if I should buy another as a backup? My thinking is if 1 needs to be serviced and I can have the other to use. Wondering if anyone has more than one?

I know Bryan wishes we all did. :D

I've gone the opposite route of many here, and the Kraken was my first DH experience. I'm a little "overprotective" with it, only using it in fresh water (it is a "series 1", so I want it staying as nice as possible, but still seeing use). I had considered another as a daily diver, but opted to start tinkering with old ones, upgrading them to "near-Kraken" performance.

I'm torn as to another Kraken...

The Answer is YES!
You should buy another Kraken. Now put your mind at ease and get that thing ordered! :)

Justification: Since when does NEED have anything to do with it. Wanting it is a good enough reason to buy it.
