momentum Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hey, I ordered a Mya vortex a while ago, and three hoses came with it.One says Mya all over it, the other two are just black, I didn't think these were washable but I read somewhere that ALL mya hoses are washable?Anyone know?And what are some good washing techiques? I threw a different hose in a bunch of hot water and dried it out and it tasted cleaner but are there better ways?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally no MYA hoses are washable.Edit: apparently HC sells all plastic MYA hoses. On all the stock hoses that MYA's come with you can see the metal coil in the hose.

soldier92 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Actually NO Mya hoses are washable. They say they are but they are not. All Mya hoses contain metal in them and washing them will cause them to rust, making your smoke taste bad, and inhaling rust can't be good either.I would throw out the one you washed, it is essentially ruined.You can buy a Nammor hose from Hookah-shisha.com. It is one of the best hoses on the market and is one of the few that are washable. You could also get the Razan hose from Hookahcompany. com, it is essentially the same thing as the Nammor.

AKammenzind Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Yup, they aren't washable. Just blow em out before/after you smoke and you won't have to worry about replacing them for 6 months to a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momentum Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 wow really?http://mnhookahs.com/product_info.php?cPat...;products_id=65so thats not actually washable even though it says so?mnhookah would lie to me?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom1 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) Yea the HC "plastic" ones have metal, I was right the first time.It's not lying since there is plastic between the smoke and the metal coil. So in theory it's washable even though it really isn't. Edited February 26, 2009 by Tom16689 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why they can't just spend the extra few pennies and use a good SS or aluminum alloy is beyond me... but I suppose it does make good business sense (people have to replace shitty hoses more often, shitty hoses are cheaper to produce, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxc5120 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 My friend ruined a couple of his mya hoses because he washed them so much.. Everytime we try to use them all we suck in is the rusted metal... It is disgusting, its like sucking up black sand. And it kinda sucks cuz when you smoke something that stays in your hose you cant get it out and just have to get over it. After smoking with a nammora or razaan i wont go back.
