SixPackSunday Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 well i think she's 100% authentic. i just want to find out where i can find my hookah with that stem the bowl for the one pictured and the black one i have are both screw ons and all of the parts for this one as well as the black and gold one are 100% interchangeable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I am going to say imitation mya. Somewhere on the heart, where the hose ports are, there should be a mya stamp. On the coal tray, there should be Mya stamped. If it is is a "true" mya someone ditched the original outer shaft of the pipe and replaced it with that. Mya doesn't use anodized metal so i now the outer shaft of the stem is not mya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowland Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 It could be a Mya sold only in certain markets. Likely a knock off. Either case i would buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Mya knock-off. Dont pay more than 20 -shipped- for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either case i would buy one.My thoughts exactly..... Just because it's not something we see stateside doesn't mean it's not legitimate...... Regardless, it's really beautiful.

srawas89 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) That is a really pretty hookah.... Even if it is a knockoff that is ok as long as it smokes well and you didn't pay a small fortune for it. I am fairly certain that my hookah is a knock off Mya and it smokes really well so its not something to get worried about besides, I am probably going to buy a no brand hookah soon as I like it being extremely unique and a small probability that someone else will have the same one on here .

TizaNabi Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Was first attracted to the stem coloured work and thought "Iranian" style. The hoses are chinese, the faux titanium coloured metal is "narosta" (don't know what it's called in english) also Chinese. I have in my 8 years smoking shisha 11 different knock-off fake hookahs and my next will probably be Chinese.The straight from Egypt and Syria hookahs sent to us are rarely from there, but usually China. Check out the beautiful India hand mades.They look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
