Anyone Ever Have Their Stem Fall Or Roll Off The Counter?


Recommended Posts

Just had my mash'al roll off the counter onto my tile floor ... damn ice bucket makes it roll.

Not a single mark. Nothing dented, ice bucket is solid, didn't budge, no chips ... I am impressed.

I'm sure if a mya fell on a tile floor it would crack the damn tile.

Anyone ever have their stem fall or roll off the counter? What was the result?

My Mya Bambino, stem and tray assembled but not the bowl, fell right off the counter onto our hard tile floor. Knocked a bit of the plating off the tray, but didn't so much as chip the glass of the vase or harm the stem in anyway. I was shocked! And really grateful. No damage to the tile either, thankfully.

Well once I dropped my KM Kafae I think is the new name for it. And to be honest the hookah was fine but it caused a hole in the earth the size of God! Pretty sure that's when Japan experienced some earthquakes.....but not sure if they're related wink.gif

I had my Exotica stem roll off my tailgate once when I was getting everything out of my truck. It landed on some bad pavement/gravel and put a tiny scratch on the stem but you have to look really hard to see it.

Yeah i was lucky because no matter how you drop the mashal (because of the ice chamber) the only thing that is gonna hit is the ice chamber and hose port, or the ice chamber and purge valve, so there is no way for the actual designs on the stem to get dinged up.

I was incredibly relieved after i examined the stem.

I had a mya paragon in a bag on my back and it slipped off my shoulder the stem snapped in half


Damn, that's unfortunate. Those look like they'd be really sturdy. I know if I dropped my QT or Mini stem it would come away with nothing more than a few scratches. Is the Paragon stem just one piece? Or does it screw together like some of the other taller Mya's?

I've dropped my Gyro before, on tile. The ash tray took most of the impact since it was affixed to the stem, held up perfectly.

Not really the same exact situation, but friends and sister of pulled over my KM which had a Tangiers medium sized phunnel on top, and aside from the tray having a ding in it from smashing on the floor, everything was fine, which I was amazed...

The tangiers bowl was also still sitting on top of the hookah. I just had to take the hose out and twirl it around because some water got inside from the fall, but I just had to pick the coals up, and set them back on top. Thankfully I was smoking out back both times when this happened, so no burns inside my house.

Yeah I'm happy with the durability of my KM.
