ChicagoJay Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) So my trusty QT has developed a crack in the base. Perhaps it's from me not listening when they said don't put hot then really cold water in glass. Perhaps it's from the massive amount of bubbles in the one I got. Anyway, I went looking for a new base.I went to Cleopatra's (Arab grocery store) where I get a lot of stuff, and he said the QT was discontinued for another, then pointed at the QT econo. He didn't have the color base I wanted, so I went to Guess Hookah. John (owner) said they have discontinued what he called the QT2 (the one everyone around here seems to have). He then pointed out another QT, which he called the QT3. It's not the econo QT (he also had those). This one had a slightly different base, which seemed a bit taller, and more rounded, as opposed to flat sides. The stem was quite different. It looked like a total redesign. I wish I got a picture of it. I can't find it on MYA's site, or any of the online vendors people around here talk about. John ordered me a new vase in dark blue, so I will post a pic of the QT3 when I go there to pick it up. Has anyone seen or tested these out? I am assuming the vases are compatible with the QT2, as I would be mighty pissed if I couldn't get replacement vases for it in the future.

ChicagoJay Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Yeah, that thread is here:http://www.hookahforum.com/?showtopic=27640Anyway, I wasn't looking for advice on getting a replacement. As I said, I have one on order from the local store, and it's the same price as hookah john. I was wondering what people thought of the new design. Maybe I should have just waited till I had a pic to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 and it sucks that they don't sell online...maybe a nice maybe would be willing to get some for you if you cover cost/shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoJay Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 I bet it's not online because it's too new. I noticed a lot of sites seem to be running out of stock (or low) on the QT2. I didn't see any QTs on MYA's website. I bet they took down the old, and are getting ready to put up the new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h0lic Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I was told the same thing about the QT Econo just recently. I haven't heard anything about a QT3 but I have noticed them going out of stock. Keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxc5120 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 My first QT vase cracked all the way down the middle of the bottom and up the side randomly one day. No idea how it happened, but about a month ago a hobby lobby opened near me and sure enough they had th QT vases labled as decorative glass for 5.99 lol... Or hookah-shisha has them as well.

ChicagoJay Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Here it is. The first pic has what he calls the QT2 on the left, the QT3 in the middle, and the Econo QT on the right. He was saying he has been getting the QT3 from one of his suppliers in CAlifornia for a while. He also said everyone else seems to be running out of the QT2.[attachment=3328:QT2_QT3_econoQT.jpg][attachment=3329:QT3.jpg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 ?The QT3 as he calls it has been around for a long while, it was available to most of us before the QT2...The QT2 as he calls it has been the main one sold online for the last few months if not mistaken. I have the middle "grenade" one.The econo is pretty new though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoJay Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 The one on the left has been around a lot longer then a few months. I've never seen the middle one here or anywhere.Anyway, you could be right. That's why I was asking in my first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyj316 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 If you do a search for user "Myasaray" (Mya's account), they have pictures of all of the different stems that the QT has had over the years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only created one Econo MYA QT style that is close to the C-Class QTWe did not stop manufacturing any of the MYA QT. If you are interested in any of them please contact us at 866 277-9MYA.Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at 866 277-9MYAThank youMahmoud BadawiCEO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zinite Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 QUOTE (myasaray.com @ Mar 28 2009, 09:38 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>The S-Class was copied by lots of imitators so always look for the MYA Logo and if you don't find it then this is not a MYA Product.They sell these rip offs all over Tucson. I've noticed that the rip off stem is about half the weight of the original... it also appears to be anodized aluminum like most cheap Chinese hookahs. The funny thing is that they are sometimes more expensive than a true QT. I own 3 Mya's... all good so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 wow...i really like that C-Class...maybe I can get it for my fiancee. she doesn't smoke hookah, but she does like the way that C-Class looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoJay Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Thank you for the clarification Mahmoud. I had only seen the E-Class, and I guess I was misinformed. I too like the look of that C-Class. Very elegant. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
