lp640man Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) So I have a mya vortex... and i notice that I cant fully purge the base 100%. When smoking using a KM i was able to purge all 100% of the smoke out of the base, but with the mya I cant fully purge all the smoke. When I try and purge the mya I get tons of smoke to purge out 75% of the release valve but not all, some of the smoke would stay settled near the water line 25%.Any ideas? I figure this is just the design of the Mya purge system(the inner works of the mya heart)feedback? Edited January 27, 2008 by lp640man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clickhea Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) canon told me in the past its not possible because myas have "common" heart chambers and kms have "traditional"therefore mya will never purge as well as your kmi think Edited January 26, 2008 by clickhea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenSilk Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 no purging. You have to lift off the stem from the base. Thats it. It's a common chamber shank, so impossible to purge because of differences in airflow and vaccuum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 See this is why it helps to have older members who remember the redneck rigging done by others A bendy straw is your answer. If you place it into the purge, and then down into the vase, you can purge from the vase directly, giving you a full purge you gotta do some trimming of course, but it works well.

zeppyrkr Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 get a straw, cut it to fit into the purge valve inside the chamber have it bending downwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Wing Gunner Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 lol seems pretty simple to me, I have an egyptian which likes to do that just a little when I have lots of Ice, I figure its because my water is soo cold, but if I blow hard enough (no pun intended) it seems to clear.

ghostofdavid Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 The easiest way to purge a Mya is to buy a hookah that isn't a Mya. Don't get me wrong, I love Mya's but I think it is impossible to purge one without completely pulling off the valve and blowing into your nose. Not worth it, in my opinion.

Codename067 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I never knew that.My KM purges all the smoke out in 1 second worth of exhaling through the hose. very nice and fast flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
