Myas Handmade...

one benefit of the km's is that they use a single piece for the main stem - correct? then all you have to worry about is sealing the valve and hose port.

Yes, more difficult to clean, but "better" construction design.

i just make sure to at least run hot hot water through with 1 drop of dawn dishwasher soap, and then blow dry, and it smells like nothing still after a couple weeks so far. Then i push q-tips through the holes for the purge and hose hole to make sure it is dry and no residue is building up.

And N-Nights, I think having something made by hand just kinda passes the care, love, and soul put into it onto the user. The difference between a manufactured katana and a hand folded and forged katana made by a master swordsmith is vast. Same general concept.

I would seriously have to disagree with that remark. factory made mean uniformity (which more often than not equates to quality. Have you ever bought a toy, collecters figurine or something of the like? They say handpainted, now your brain tells you its some guy sitting there paint nice and slow, right? Very often its some unskilled laborer who has to paint 500 of a thing in an hour. There may be pride the first day, but by the end of a week doing this you just dont give a shit!

A katana is nothing like a hookah. We have see any number of people here making workable hookahs out of basically trash. Old bottles, can. plastic bottles, you name it.

Dont get me wrong there is something more artistic in hand made but not nessacarily more reliable.

Hey thats just my take on it

The difference in a handmade product is that each piece will usually have subtle differences that make them "personalized". A good example of this is when I compare my tri metal to my friends tri metal. Granted they have the same basic look but each has it's own little differences that make it special.

i think its bullshit unless they are hand cast and turned on lathes. but maybe the cloisoinne stems are hand made and thats what the e-mail is stating but my MYA and my buddy josiahs MYA are for sure machine made

all the MYA's i ever owned sure looked machine made, but i guess we will never know the real truth.
