Svaals Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I've never had one, but there are a ton of reviews for the mini-mya screw on in the reviews section. Also, if you order more than $100 worth of merchandise from H-S, then you can get one for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coplinb Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) Damn you the cool, you beat me to the link.On a side note, I have the 4 hose odyssey, and Ive never had a problem with it. the screw on base is just as good if not better to me than a regular gasket base.

Zinite Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Pick it up from H-S and get the free Mini Mya as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilgrim Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 YAY. Reason I love the mya acrylic is because it's so damn functional: up to 4 hoses if you like, acrylic vase is nearly indestructible, screw on stem, easy to take apart and clean... and it smokes great as well..

kdkhookah Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I bought a hookah at H-S and got the free mini mya, but you have to realize that it's a clearance hookah. Everything is fine with mine except the base; it came in cracked and leaks everywhere. But it's not really much of an issue. You could buy another base or if you have another small glass base, as I did, you can just use that, though you may have to change the grommet. I mean it was free and since I was spending over a hundred dollars anyway, it's just another hookah to add to the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd get on Hookah-Shisha's live chat and ask them to send me another one. Just because it's a 'free' item doesn't mean that it shouldn't be functional.

And the Artoo stem can be broken down for smaller transport. Personally I would get the Odyssey. I love the solid Mya Stems. They smoke identical. So it's the look of the stem that would sway you one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto on that, I have the Odyssey and it still breaks down good for travel, the box it comes in isnt that much bigger than a shoebox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinodos Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I like the mini mya that I got from HS for free, but it does tend to leak when I use it. Not enough to hurt the smoke session but enough to get the table all wet. I wonder if this is with all hookah's ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilgrim Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) I have the Odyssey as well and I'm very happy about itGave my free mini mya to a friend of mine, He's been using it for almost a year now and it doesn't leak so far Edited August 13, 2009 by Pilgrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
