joelhookah Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 After having a coworker/friend introduce me to hookah about 2 months ago I have finally bought my first hookah. Its a $20 (shipped) Ebay Mya knockoff. Came in a fake Mya box and has a crappy Mya sticker on it, but it does the trick for the next month until I can order my Mya Obelisk. Here's some pics. Smokes alright, nothing impressive at all but I am still new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modisess Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) why is your ashtray on the table and not the hookah? Edited October 9, 2008 by modisess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelhookah Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) I was just trying it out, I actually had to force it on the stem but I got it. Edited October 9, 2008 by joelhookah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hey, for $20 you can't really go too far wrong hahaha. It looks decent, and if it smokes alright... what the hell eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvtaco17 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 actually looks a lot like my mini MYA acrylic...and back to my AF plum (I'm lovin this flavor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixPackSunday Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 thats the mya acrylic. i used to have one. GREAT hookahs. uber portable and very long lasting. is that the one from eaby a couple days ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelhookah Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Yeah it was on ebay for like $15 buy it now, i am not so sure its an actual Mya, pretty sure its a knockoff but it isnt bad. It smokes and has no leaks so I cant complain. I am going to use it to try to work on my heat management. I was smoking some nakhla apple and towards the end it was getting a little harsh.

Stuie Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I have that mini mya...exact color acrylic base too.. I LOVE IT! But a small base from HC when I want to smoke out of glass. That things a beast... just get a phunnel and it might be one of your regular hookahs! The stickers are normal. Look closely around the hose port and purge valve at the heart and look for the word mya... if it's there...NO DOUBTS. I am almost 100% that's genuine. Got mine free when i bought the Obelisk from HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezter6 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I have the acrylic base with a slightly different stem (looks like a Column) and is called the Artoo at H-S and it's a very nice smoke. I am very happy with it as my main hookah.I do find myself smoking my QT more often because it's smaller and easy to clean - but when I have 3-4 people smoking, the acrylic is the go-to piece.

Jacob Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Yup that does look like a Mini MYA Acrylic. I got one with my Paragon from H-S.comIt's pretty amazing, and since it's easier to clean than my Paragon, I use it more. Smokes amazing.That definitely looks legit to me though.Congrats on the great deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinamon Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 what the hell are you using in the base? dirty engine oil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelhookah Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) If it is a real Mya, that is cool, I would have expected the gaskets to be a little bit better, but hey whatever it smokes either way, I care less about the name. It has Mya on the ashtray, between the hose ports and on the acrylic base, so maybe it is authentic. CoolAs far as the liquid in my base, yes you haven't heard of using motor oil? Its a little har on the pull but its one hell of a filter. No seriously its the shadow. Stuie once again prevails. Overall nice lil hookah, I have a sore throat right now so I cant wait to really get on it with some good shisha instead of some Nakhla and some coconut coals instad of these cheap QLs. Til then!

Erica Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Looks like a real Mya to me.. and I love me my Myas! hahaThe gaskests on the Mini Acrylics SUCK!! When you try to put the stem into the base it gets all scrunched up and is a totalllll PITA!!BUT they so smoke wonderfully!! I had one and used it as my cappicini/choclate.mint pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Oh I also wanted to add.. that I highly doubt that people selling knock offs would send real hoses and bowls with their knock off pipe LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hey, if it gets the job done..why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelhookah Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Its actually pretty easy to put a lil Mya stamp on something, I dont know if its a knockoff or not and dont really care. The hose doesnt say mya anywhere on it, the bowl has a sticker that says Mya but it looks like the font used on a typewriter, not like the Mya logo. It smokes. Does the job so I don't care. I spent $20 thinking it was a knockoff, so if it isnt even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigor Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Why don't I see this listed on eBay any longer ? It wasn't a company selling them by batch fulls ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelhookah Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 No this was the only one. There are some other Myas, I think they are bambinos and they are alot more like $40 plus shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelhookah Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 Bumping my own thread, gotta say this hookah is the best $20 hookah i could ask for. hits as good if not better than my friends $60 from HC. got it smoking real nice tonight with some QLs and some nakhla. roomate said its like he has entered apple town.
