drummerX1983 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I am looking for my first hookah. I have narrowed it down to either a stargate 20" for 75$ or a Mya QT for 45$. Which one would be better for price and quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Well they will do pretty much the same thing. I have no personal experience with the QT, but everyone claims it gets just as much smoke being a little guy as the big guys.I have tons of experience with the Stargate though, so if you have any questions, ask away and I'll try to help out as much as I can.The Stargate rips like no other, with a very smooth smoke.But out of the 20" stargate and QT, I think you should decide if you want a mini, or a medium sized hookah. Do you want something small for a dormroom? Some people with limited space prefer the smaller hookahs for their desktop. But if that isn't a big concern, then I would say go for the Stargate. Its a gorgeous hookah that smokes great.So think about what you want more firstly. A smaller junior, or a medium - large hookah, and then go from there.

EsOva Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 i would go with a stargate man...good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I was making the same choice a week or so ago. (but a full size mya instead of the qt). I went with Mya because I have read a few problems with the stargate, and taqseem service after they have your money. I felt more secure with Mya, and they have been a pleasue to buy from thus far.

Karbon Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I'd go for the not so ugly one and pick the QT. Stargate is a mutated coffee pot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people happen to like the modern style, so whats the point in offering an opinion based on prettiness...Instead, how about you try and give some advice based on either customer service, or functionality.No disrespect intended, but your post really didn't contribute anything.

c4r80n Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 hahahahahasomeone is offended. I'd go with the QT, looks better, can wash in a small sink, great quality, nice desktop size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Abides Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Yeah, the stargate does look like a Mr. Coffee. I would buy a small or medium sized traditional Egyptian hookah. Keep it real, ya'know. Just make sure you get one made of solid brass, not a lightweight stainless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 hey now, i have a solid brass AND a lightweight stainless and both work just fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EsOva Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 the reason why i said go with the stargate is because for the first time a local hookah lounge that just opened uses stargates...and man its flawless (at least to me) and the only thing i would change about it is prolly replace the bowl with tangiers or something (a bowl that can hold a lil more tobacco) thats about it...o and i it!

[/quote] Actually, I own both as well. The stainless works great and is nice and shiny but the brass hookah is so sturdy I know it will last forever. On further reflection, the lightweight stainless steel hookah can last forever too as long as you don't like, back over it in your car or use it to tenderize your pork cutlets.

TwitchyKid Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 the thing about the Customer Service is true, when i was first interested in a Stargate i exchanged 20 emails with Taqseem in 4 mins, but now, he hasnt responded to my Hose problem at all.but the thing smokes like a champ, i like the hugeness, but if i were to buy a smaller one id buy a QT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahEnthusiast Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 If your looking for a smaller hookah in that size/price range than as much as i like samir and the stargates over at taqseem brand im gonna have to say go with the mya....its has set the standard for how smaller hookahs should smoke.
