newjacksm Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) this was brought up in chat and my question wasn't ever answered so I am bringing it here.Some one stated that all Myas smoke the same and this isn't the first time I heard this. So I brought up so does a QT and a Obelisk smoke the same even at the HUGE price difference?I love the Obelisk and I will own one some day but not if truthfully if all Myas smoke the same. I really want to know if the QT smokes the same to all the higher end, or should I say higher priced MYA hookahs...This has been a question of mine for quite some time.(only reason why I wouldnt buy a Obelisk if it smokes the same to the QT is because well I already own a QT and if it has the same pull and purge then what the reason to owning the same hookah but different looks? Oh and about 140-160 dollar difference) Edited April 23, 2009 by newjacksm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victim026 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I replied to you in chat but I guess you didn't see it, as long as you have the water level's correct on both hookahs the difference in how they smoke will be negligible. My QT smokes just as well as my 32" Custom Mya Staff, and my Mya Acrylic is the same as both of them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the input I think I will stick with the QT then if I will be dropping near 200 bucks on a Obelisk and it will smoke like the QT (which is nice by the way) then I dont need the Obelisk, I'll purchase a Syrian, KM or MZ.But I would like to hear others input as well.

inino Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 ive smoked about 4 different myas all varying in size and the smoke has been pretty much the same. they all are great pipes, but what you pay for is the look of obelisk which is a bitchen looking pipe.

Stuie Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 The smoke the similar.My QT smokes great, but getting out the Obelisk....There's a huge difference. Each one has pros and cons but I smoke out of my QT more since I am confined to my office to smoke. But my Obelisk will out smoke any of my other mya's. I can't explain why. But it seems so much smoother on the Obelisk than the QT. Maybe it's a mental thing because I am more proud of it. But the Obelisk is my goto hookah even over my KM and MZ.

AKammenzind Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Yeah, myself and I think one other said more or less the same things as victim in chat haha. They all smoke pretty much the same. Lol, maybe you're just forming a mental block against that out of disbelief or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zinite Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I think all Mya downstems are the same inner diameter. The only other factor I can think of would be the inner diameter of the joint between the heart and the hose port. But... since all Mya hose ports are the same... I don't know. It's probably a psychological thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjacksm Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 I am glad I brought this up hopefully this brings the attention to MYA I love the looks of the obelisk but not for the price if it smokes near the same of the QT, which I like for traveling. My KM is my go to Hookah which I will my firing up in 10 min for south park and beer drinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JByer323 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 They smoke similarly. Not the same.The biggest advantages of a larger pipe in my eyes? You're not going to get water in the hose when you rip it hard. And before anyone starts, no, it's not a water level thing, I know how to set up a hookah, but on any smaller pipe, if you take fat rips, you're gonna get some moisture in the tub.Ask yourself this. Are you gonna rock this thing at parties, take it on the road, whatever? Go for a Bambino or a QT then.Never gonna leave your dorm room/apartment/parent's basement? Get something bigger.
