inkydave Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 just bought a MYA hose off ebay and i'm trying to decide if i've been scammed.The covering looks like leather but is coloured vinyl,and the ends are glued on and don't unscrew.It came in a bag that has MYA and 'made in china' on the bottom.Do any of you know if this sounds like a real Mya hose.

L'Oignon Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 (edited) the ends of a mya are supposed to unscrew? Like the metal tips at the end of the handles, or the whole thing?edit: Did you happen to buy it off of user genuinehookahs (of hookah forum notoriety)?edit 2: bought my hose of genuinehookahs, and I just found the stamp on the metal. Wow, that really is small. You'd think it was just a scratch or imperfection unless somebody told you about it.

3rooker Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Yea, that doesn't look so good! I think you got scammed. I personally don't trust eBay. It's too easy to get scammed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Thanks InkyDave It looks very very much like my mya long-handled hose. The stitching and such. However the unscrew able handles are odd.And the handles look a bit odd too.Do either of the handles have the word 'MYA' stamped on them?JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkydave Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 The handles dont have anything stamped on them.do MYA use synthetic leather , when i bye something which says leather i expect real leather,which was the first thing that set the alarm bells ringing when i got this.

LuxOR541 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 not all mya handles unscrew. The cloisonne ones and the long handled ones do, but the normal short handled ones don't. Take a close look at the chrome ring at the base of the handle. it should have a very faint MYA stamped on it. It's small... so look carefully.There are a lot of hoses out there that are similar, so it might be a fake. But not necessarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 if they aren't legit they are damn good fakes. And not all Mya have MYA stamped on them. SOme I have gotten directly from them don't have the stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkydave Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 I've just looked at the handle and it is stamped,almost needed a magnifying glass to see it.should they be real leather,or are they synthetic so you can wash 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oggie505#2 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 looks like one of my mya hoses. The made in china on the bag does not make it a fake, mya has numerous factories, one of which is in china. I think you got a real mya there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 i have the exact same hose and it came with my mya diva off of hookah-shisha.com. The ends are glued on and hookah-shisha was a reliable site. However, if the ends are supposed to unscrew, then I've been smoking out of a fake for several months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AinSophAur Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Its real. That model does not unscrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
