CORRECTED STATS
I own a Mya and I have broken the base.: 0
I own a Mya and I have not broken the base.: +10
(Instead of constantly updating the number, I will post a +X amount that ye shall add to the designated number. Avoids confusion easier)


Dont get your hopes up Allia, my QT is still going strong...

So I though I'd make this poll/topic to consolidate the stats on Mya Bases that break. Please don't answer one of the questions if you have an Acryllic, since theyre pretty much invincible, and please anser truthfully for "best results".

Its pretty simple, just choose one.  If you have broken a base, and one has survived, pick both.  If you are unlucky enough to have broken multiple bases, please include the number in a post.  If you are so cool taht you own multiple Myas (Erica...), aslo please make note in a post how many have survived and if any have broken, how many.  I will periodically update this post to include the updated numbers.

So vote away, and lets see how super strong, or not, these mya bases are...

edit: also, for the sake of more fair statistics, please do not vote for "my base is NOT broken" if you have owned your mya base for less than let say... 2 weeks of frequent use. Edited by SafeSearchOff

I own 3 Myas, 3 year old bohemian, 1 yr old QT, and new Vortex (but different stem). None of them have ever broken. I did break a Mya bowl a couple years back; Pushed it down onto the pipe too hard.

I voted: I Dont Own a Mya because I heard the bases suxor.

I 'HAVE NOT' heard they suck, I just don't own one.
I'll lose alot of friends...'wait a minute I don't have any on here', when I say I don't really care for the Mya QT, Pimp, or Obelisk.
Not really an argument for durability but a vote on ownership at least.

Its a fair consensus in saying that everybody hates the Mya Pimp

Part of the statistics data will be inherently flawed because there is no comparable method for determining which is a new Mya vs. what is an Old Mya. I have purchased about 10 Mya QTs now over the course of a year to give out as presents to friends. My Mya QT has very thick glass. It has solid feel in my hand. The last three I have purchased have had increasingly thin glass vases.

I have a Mya Vortex that has Romanian glass and it appears to be very thick. I have not personally handled a thin one, but believe others when they say that their Vortex glass is thin based on my experience with purchasing QTs. I have talked to M.B. from Mya Saray directly about their glass and the newer vases are coming in from other parts of the world in addition to where they were coming from previously. The first of the thin glass/glass problems I can remember seeing began with, I think, kram (now markchan) showing his vase bottom shearing completely off the rest of the vase.

Old Mya glass seems to be far superior than newer Mya glass.

my 3rd acrylia base is getting a crack thats gonna be awesome when it shoots whatever out like a fissure.

i smoke on a little carpet and don't have star wars battles with the acrylics base...apparently adding water leads to cracks. its just low quality garbage.

my first vase lasted 3 years i think, the last 2 have been a couple months each

first post edited with ericas updated stats.

GoD- I understand what your saying, obviously the new glass is far inferior to the old glass. but either way, i think its pretty safe to say we have a fair sampling of people with old and new glass, though admittedly probably more with old. Either way i think the stats will be fairly correct. Right now unbroken bases are raping broken...

unbroken are raping the broken.

lol, imagine if more were broken than unbroken, it would be safe to say that mya would be out of business...

even though the sample size is far too small to make generalizations, 6 broken out of 23 is over 25% broken.

this is a good idea, i wish we could really do a scientific survey. w/ model, date, type of break, etc
