quakerotis Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I'm looking for a new vase to use a gold stem I have from a Mya hookah I used to have (the vase broke ) The stem fits my current Mya hookah, so I just measured the opening of the vase, which is 1 5/8 inches. I'm finding plenty of beautiful vases that have 1 3/4 in. openings, and I'm wondering if it would work just as well, or if that difference is going to be a hassle. I'm looking for something with gold in it to coordinate with the stem, so if anybody can help out at all, it would be MUCH appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scheetz Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Well, if it does not fit properly you can add Duct Tape or some other form of tape around the grommet to keep it tight. You could always buy another grommet as well if you needed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobocans Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) Depending on the grommet on your Mya, it will probably work. If it doesn't work, you can get another grommet for your pipe that will make it fit. See if you can't get a grommet with the base, and then take off the grommet currently on your stem, and replace with the one you got with your vase. You may need to modify the grommet, but you should be able to make it work. If that doesn't do it, go to your local smoke shop, they usually have a box full of random grommets and then you can test it out for the right fit.If its screw-together, you are going to have to get creative.

Sonthert Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 It sounds like the difference between a 26 and a 30. Just get a larger gasket. I prefer electrical tape. Duct tape leaves that sticky residue that gets all black and is hard to get off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hookahpimp Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 just get some flanel fabric cut a strip that is wide enough for the base of your stem around an inch or so then cut the fabric so its about half a yard. so you want a strip that is about in inch wide X half yard long... then tape the fabric to the hookah base with electrical tape then wet the fabric and wrap it around the stem base then it is all trial and error cut or add peices to make it fit.... you will be able to pick up your hookah by the stem with out the base falling. i learnd this trick with i visited the KM factory last summer and wow it makes for real air tight seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmonk7663 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I have a gold stem mya and I mated it up to a Blue Double Genie Vase with Gold enlay on it. Looks nice. For the gasket I wrapped the lower stem portion with electrical tape, then put the gasket over the tape, perfect fit and I haven't had to change the tape yet, and I've been using it well over a month now, daily. Take care,mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
