SafeSearchOff Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 i have never owned a mitsuba hookah, but I have heard terrible things. poorly made, bad quality, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neophytex Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I'm fairly certain, and the consensus I got on the forum a few days ago was that this hookah I got off eBay was a Mitsuba: http://cgi.ebay.com/24-Hookah-3-hose-diamo...tem330148738371.I've been nothing but impressed with it so far. I've had no leaks in the stem and seals and have smoked it 3-4 times a week for 5 months with no durability problems whatsoever, still looks as good as when I got it. I don't have the experience to compare it to nicer brands such as Mya's, but it hits relatively well in my opinion, usually getting more than enough smoke to cover your face and produce a large cloud with Nahkla tobacco.The only thing that I noticed was wrong with mine in particular was that the bottom of the base was off balance, the glass was about 10 degrees or so off balance on the bottom so if you're not careful it tends to rock. Overall a really nice hookah for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahPrincess Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I've had a Mitsuba that I took from a friend. I didn't really like it at all, it wasn't that well made, and you have to be careful with some of the acrylic ones because if you keep the water in the base when you store it (which you shouldnt anyway) it starts to get those tiny little cracks like how when you put a cup through the dishwasher, then it starts to leak. I wouldn't say they're too durable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neophytex Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I wonder if mine really is a Mitsuba, because like I said it's well made and durable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Chinese, Chinese, Chinese. Their hoses are horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L'Oignon Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I've used mine a few times a month for about a year now. Cant say I've had any problems. I upgraded the hose to a mya hose, and I like it alot better. Its more pliable, and is just better all around.I'll probably upgrade to a mya soon just because I usually smoke in groups, and the whole multi-hose adapter thing would be useful.

MechAnt Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Mitsuba hoses aren't that great. They are non washable so if you smoke everyday, you'd prolly have to buy new ones after a few months. They are very narrow and take quite a bit of lung power to draw thru. I love MYA wides cause the draw is so damn easy! Don't waste your time or money on mitsubas just invest in some better ones.
