Mya Release Valves


Recommended Posts

So I was smoking my Mya paragon and when I would clear the chamber the ball bearing wouldn't fall back into place I would have to unscrew the valve and take out ball bearing and screw on the valve apparently the ball bearing falls into the oddly shaped valve and it doesn't fall back out any suggestions or similar problems

If you're MYA is like mine, I have a cap thing I can screw off that holds the ball in place. Is there maybe something gooey up in the screw cap? maybe some shisha (for some reason, haha). Try cleaning out that cap, though. Lemon juice. wink.gif

i have the same problem with my mya vortex , the purge valve is round in shape, and when u blow to clear the air, the ball bearing goes up and and doesnt fall back down, it gets stuck.
it cant be sticky with juice coz this thing is brand new.

annoying as hell..

same happens to my Gyro...I have it planned to be in the vide review when I have to do it.

BTW all you have to do is give it a tap with your finger and the ball bearing falls down...no need to unscrew the whole thing.

Zen: yours doesn't sound like a Mya, I've never seen a Mya with the screw in the middle. Thats more of a traditional Hookah feature.


Mush, me thinks he is referring to what sounds like the auto seal from MYA.


+1


if mya just changed their damn open heart system and put a plate on the bottom of the stem with one pipe going to the the hose port and one pipe going to the purge valve, it would make their stems 100 times better. the KM i bought last night can purge the whole vase in one blow, i still havent smoked out of a mya that can purge more than the top two inches

primarily its a one way ball valve that allows you to blow into your hose and it pushes the ball out of the way and the bad smoke in the base to escape past the ball. When you suck on the hose (don't say it) the ball is suposed to be suctioned back into place and not allow any outside air back into the base. It's just a way to clear nasty or stale smoke out of your base.

Thanks mush.. yeah thats what i figured and the only reason i use it... i have also heard of like some kind of ridiculous thing about how all the bad smoke sits at the bottom and you have to blow it out every once in a while to keep from inhaling it... like as if the air right above the water is filled with toxins and they put it there so you can every once in a while blow them out... i might have even heard that on here somewhere but i dont know for sure..
