Soup Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I'm not so sure on how air tight the screw in will be. If you could find that hookah in a non-screw in version, I'd say go for it...its a beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Ok...I inspected the picture further and noticed that the case has what appear to be double combination locks. Hmm..different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmexx Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Well mine was stated to be a screw-on as well, but all it meant was that the rubber was in a "screw" type shape, which is a better seal for the hookahI have no complaints!Happy smoking,Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 oh...I thought that it was a threaded base and threaded stem with a bit of rubber or something to make it air tight...I wouldn't have trusted that system at all. But with this new information, it just might fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmexx Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Yeah me too I wasn't so sure. I have a spinner that's like that, threaded with some rubber, ergh it was annoying.Anyways, ask them if it's like what I said, you're good if it is!Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sariél Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I have a screwed hookah (in more ways than one). A metal threaded collar is glued into the mouth of the base, and the stem screws into it. It has a large foam washer that goes between the two. It would work fine if the glue held, but it didn't, and everytime a little more of the glass breaks off the base, securely fastened to the collar. Between that and the big glob of hot melt glue that obstructed 90% of the airflow in the hose, this hookah was a real winner! (/sarcasm). I do not recommend Nour Brand boxed hookahs. God knows what metal it's made of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uselessdreamer1 Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 i dont think that is a nour brand hookah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sariél Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 No, I think that is a Mya Saray. I have one of there small gold hokahs and have never had a bad smoke with it (except Sultan brand Mint, STF). I just wanted to qualify my bad opinion of screw-type hookahs by the fact that the rest of the hookah was also crap. I think the failing in mine was in substandard glass used in the base, which would definitely not be a problem with a Bohemian Mya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uselessdreamer1 Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 do u think its a nice buy? it between this or a torrent from hookahshisha. I dont know which would be better? this one is 150 and the torrent is 90 so there is a price diff. this one is a screw in and the torrent is grommets.

afrdzak Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 i have a very similar setup (just different color bowl and case), and it's not a screw in. Here's my thought on screw-ins. Threads are not meant to withstand a lot of screwing in and out (I don't know how else to put it right now). Eventually the threads will wear down and it'll make it harder to screw. Unless you keep the threads lubed somehow, I wouldn't put much faith in them. Other then that, mya saray hookah's with bohemian glass bowls give a very good smoke. All my experienced friends are always impressed when we smoke out of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uselessdreamer1 Posted August 26, 2005 Author Share Posted August 26, 2005 well i think the torrent is a mya. its awesome, comes with a case for 90.. i think its what i wanna get.

uselessdreamer1 Posted August 27, 2005 Author Share Posted August 27, 2005 ehh i called both companies and the screw in base is a mya. but the torrent from hookah shisha isnt. so i said screw it, no pun intended, and im getting a sweet egyption. i hear alot of members talk about how good their egyptions smoke so i think i will purchase one so i can have money left over to get some romman.
