MechAnt Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Ok, so I've decided to purchase a new hookah. Its gonna be a Mya but the choice between three I have lined up is going to be tough. If anyone knows how sturdy the bases are or whatnot, that would be greatly appreciated.The Diamond (leaning towards this one)[attachment=492:The_Diamond1.jpg]The Tempest[attachment=493:The_Tempest1.JPG]The Imperial[attachment=494:The_Imperial1.jpg]My main gripe is the base thickness, so if anyone knows which of these bases are nice and thick, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Shifty Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I can tell you that the pyramid base is thin, I own it and it seems that a good solid hit would shatter it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestormakhno Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Are those things stable? The vase diameter on all of them is a little worrisome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASUSEAN1 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 The third one for sure.. it is made with the thicker glass.. the first two are made with their shitty romanian crap that is suppose to be the same quality but it is def. not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waffle Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I just got the Mya Staff 25" and I am very pleased. As for the three you have there, my personal preference would be to the square based Tempest. I just like the look of that one of the three. But Im sure youll be happy with any one of these. Cant give any feed back on base thickness....just that mine is a bohemian base and seems strong enough. The bohemian style with two hoses is very sturdy, rocks very slightly when setting on carpet but with no worries... I wouldnt worry about the square base but again my opinion is biased. Good luck.

MechAnt Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 So, it is confirmed that the third one is def thicker? I really want to be sure, heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to be sure, hehyes sir.. it is made at the Czech glass factory. I would consider it an old style mya which is a good thing.. the first two are the newer ones that basically suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Ok, sweet deal. Its decided then. Despite the modern, clean cut looks of the first two, I'll go with the "old school" mya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calcartman Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Yeah, the czech glass is almost as thick as my QT glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle G~Dogg Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 So are you guys playing dodgeball or something with the others that are 'thin'? I just got a vortex a couple of weeks back and it seems sturdy enough.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
