ASUSEAN1 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 (edited) be careful with the base.. it will probably breakedit: not tryin to be an ass or anything but i give it 3 months.. if it lasts longer than tht.. let me know.its a functional hookah (smokes great).. jus wish the glass wasn;t bad Edited September 14, 2007 by ASUSEAN1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glottis2 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 (edited) I also love the look of those, but I'm a fan of angular stuff. The name is somewhat fitting too. note: just so you know, if you ever mention Mya on this forum, several people will tell you that the base will break. I'm not saying that they are wrong, just be ready for it. I personally have had 2 different bases on the QT and neither have broken, but perhaps I am more careful than others or got lucky.

leftovermerk Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 I'll make sure to post up a review as soon as I smoke it for a week or so...I usually smoke 3-4 times a day so I'm sure that'll be enough to give an accurate reviewI have just a small personal hookah that i usually use.I'll prolly just bust this out if I've got people over that want to smoke...but thanks for the heads up... I'll make sure it's treated like a god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally have had 2 different bases on the QT and neither have broken, but perhaps I am more careful than others or got lucky.the qt base is about 100 times stronger than this base. I have never dropped this base or knocked it into anything. Just by taking the stem off of it, a corner would pop out on one of the sides.. and this happened twice!!edit: compare the hardness of the qt glass and this hookah, they are about the same thickness but the obelisk is made of really soft glass Edited September 14, 2007 by ASUSEAN1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the Mya's are notorious for glass problems. Soooooooooo, has anyone ever actually made a formal documentated complaint in such a way that they consider another glass supplier? Or does eveyrone just sit around and whine about them, hmmmm? You know, a vendor can't improve if they don't have documented evidence indicating there's a serious problem.

ZenSilk Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 OR...Get an Acrylic Base. :S. If your going Mya, you might as well go acrylic. Its cheaper, and more sturdy. But I'd..Not go Mya. Go Egyptian or Syrian. I.E. KM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get two good egyptians for the price of one Mya, so for me they just don't seem a particularily good choice.

SafeSearchOff Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 dude, naw. just naw. their bases suck. but their pipes are solid. heavy, well made (cast...). just the open heart is a bit of a pain. but they are no-learning curve hookahs that a monkey could make thick smoke come out of.

I love the whole art, history, and vibe of traditional hookahs. I didn't find a learning curve on my Egyptians or my Syrian. Maybe I'm just lucky. Maybe being a girl I not only ask for directions but follow them?'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
