yashman19 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Sort of an odd poll, as there are a ton of hookahs that you are leaving out, and I already own three of the hookahs polled So because I already have a stargate, spider, classic egyptian, I guess I'll put mya, you know, one of those really expensive crystal base beauties.

dizzing Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 agree with yashman 100%. well, maybe 90%, as i don't care about the vase being crystal. but that one that (i think it was) ApoC posted, the custom job, now THAT would be something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nautyica123 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 the mya is definitely a durable hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HookahCaterpillar Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I changed my mind the hookah i want is not on your poll... I want mushrat's hookah table!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aronparsons Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I wouldn't mind a Mya, they seem awful expensive though. I have a SS and a spider now, I'm on my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishdog Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 wow after looking at mya's website their crystal nargiles look beautiful...wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Z Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 After looking over the choices, I voted for the Classic Egyptian. Out of all the hookahs I've smoked (which have been quite a few, although I've never smoked from a MYA) the Classic Egyptian ones still reign supreme for durabilty and quality of smoke. So allow me to once again shamelessly pimp the Classic Egyptian hookahs from hookah-shisha.com (the ones with the classic bases, not the ever-so-easily-broken "genie" ones) as my personal favorite hookahs. I know the MYAs look gorgeous, but how do they smoke compared to the tried and true Egyptian models? Does the long term durability and quality of the smoking experiance match up to the Egyptians, or are you just paying for flash and flair? I'd love to hear from someone who's smoked both styles extensively to get a take on the matter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinshisha4life Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I vote a classic egyptian. I've used an acrylic mya hookah, and I find several things i dont like about them. They hit hard which makes the smoke get harsh very quickly, and the bowl is a painted clay one that wont fit on the egyptian ones. The bowl doesnt go on the same way. I like the screw on base, and mya hoses hit great, but Imo I would much rather have an egyptian hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] What exactly do you mean by they hit hard? And also, if you don't like the bowl it comes with, whats stopping you from buying a 5 doller large ceramic bowl? I'm just a little confused because everyone I've talked to who owns a Mya hookah raves about them (most of the time). Just wanted a little clarification on your reasons, because they don't seem consistent with the norm. I wouldn't mind picking up a mya in the future, so any negative info I hear about them could be useful in my decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzing Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 i have owned 2 egyptian, 1 mya acrylic, and 1 syrian. the first egyptian was a hookah bros, and the second was a sahara. the hookah bros. one was exceptional, the sahara was mediocre. the mya was certainly the finest crafstmanship of any of the 4. and the bowl for it goes on just like for an egyptian, i have no idea what you're talking about. i love mya bowls, they're a little thinner but they smoke great. the syrian i just got has to be my favorite, probably because it's new and it's brass plated so it's beautiful ;)but overall i'd have to say myas are the best. the're completely modular so you can replace pieces with ease, and they break down to the point where cleaning is super thorough. you can rejuvenate your old mya with just a little patience, boiling water , and a gun cleaning kit. egyptians are widely varied in quality (as are syrians i believe), but there are some nice ones. nothing about them makes me think they're any better than syrians, though, on average. i've heard bad things about the longevity of taqseem pipes, but i also hear a lot of good things about how they smoke. ican't speak from experience about those.

smokinshisha4life Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 What i meant was the bow goes inside a cone shaped top, unlike the other egyptian hookahs I have which the bowl goes over top of it. I use a very large party bowl on my hookah, but there arent any different sized bowls to fit it. I Really like the more expensive mya's, they look so cool. I bought my hookah for 50.00 at a hookah bar 45 mins away from me, so for now I'll stick with that. Theres a hookah store on teh same strip that sells a lot of mya's, lol I was eyeing the crystal based one that they have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinshisha4life Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 By hitting hard I mean they have a very strong hit, which makes the bowl get much hotter, and with the size bowl it has the smoke gets very harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzing Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 okay, i am having trouble understanding. my mya does not have a bowl like that, it's got a traditional egyptian style setup. i have NEVER seen a mya where the bowl was male and the stem was female. i've only seen a small handful of hookahs like that available online for sale, period. hookahcompany seems to have the most options for stuff like that. all myas that i've ever seen have female bowls and male stems, just like egyptians.

PipeSmokeMcGee Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I would personally prefer to take my business elsewhere to a certain [url="http://www.GenuineHookahs.com"]www.GenuineHookahs.com[/url] I find that the service is unbelievable, which I think is attributed to the operator's excellent attitude of humility and unselfishness.
