i2ik Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I am looking for a multiple Hose hookah to share with my friends. I am using an MYA QT right now and really like it, but read mix opinion about the larger MYA hookah. Is it only the price? I like the fact that the larger MYA can dissemble into few parts for cleaning, i am not sure that KM are able to do that.The MYA are more expensive but wonder if they smoke as well and if the material quality is equivalent to KM's.Do KM's multiple hookah also have the auto check valve like the MYA?On MYA hookah, i was looking for the Obeliskhttp://www.hookah-shisha.com/p-1730-mya-sa...ose-hookah.htmlOn KM hookah, i was looking for the 41" Double Pear Hookah (3 hoses)http://www.thehookah.com/product.php?produ...=356&page=1For the KM, I heard that multiple hose are not as good as single one... Should i get a single stem if going with the KM?Anyways, Thanks guys for your opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1024 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 i have an obelisk, its fantastic and smoked as well as the only km ive smoked out of (set up by del sol)kms do not have auto check valves, so they you have to cover thee hose when other people want to smoke.

norcalsmoker Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 If you want multiple hoses its mya all the way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Mya for multiple hoses, for sure. I'd say the Obelisk is your best bet. It's what I'm gonna get eventually (keeping my QT for my loner smokes, of course!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i2ik Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the reply! Is the Obelisk the "best" multiple hose of the MYA's? Is there other brand i should be looking for multiple hose hookah? Edited September 17, 2009 by i2ik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i2ik Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) Anyidea on how is the purge on the Obelisk? Is clearing the smoke easy? I saw a video of the colossus and the review said it was not that easy on the Colossus from MYA, just wondering if the same problem is present on the Obelisk Edited September 17, 2009 by i2ik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evlpengwyn Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I have an Obelisk and I love it. The only real downside is the purge-- if using autoseal adapters, you have to actually unscrew one of them and blow into the bell, then screw it back in. It takes maybe 10-20 seconds to do this, so it really isn't a big deal. Other than that it's an incredible pipe! It smokes great, comes apart for easy cleaning, the base is super sturdy, and I always get compliments on the looks and quality of smoke when using this hookah with friends.

At some point you will want to smoke alone, or with just one hose, and the mya's can have the hose ports swapped for purge valves, plugs, and hose ports without check valves.The KM will clear better, just because of how the mya's are made and how the KM's are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 id go with one of those mya's with auto seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evlpengwyn Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 someone needs to come up with some way to bypass the autoseal for purging. something like a button or lever on the valve that lifts the bearing enough that you can blow through. i don't imagine it would be too tough, i just lack the equipment to make it work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtoepfer Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I'm looking into the obelisk and after this i've pretty much decided thats the way to go. But if he is only going to smoke 3 people anyway then he can put a purge on one of the ports and it will purge just fine. I'd imagine. Thats just my 2 cents tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats just my 2 cents thothe autoseal valves keep you from blowing back into the hookah through the hose, so to actually purge through the purge valve you have to take out one of the autoseals. the purge valve is basically an autoseal valve without a place to plug in a hose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed one of them would be traditional anyway. sorry loledit: i think autoseals are for the dummies who smoke with you who can't keep up with holding a hand on their hose. So if you had a traditional for yourself then it would be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you had a traditional for yourself then it would be ok.honestly, it's less of a hassle to just unscrew one autoseal when you want to purge. takes me around 15-20 seconds to purge and screw it back in on mine. i use autoseals because we have a row of computers set up at home and sometimes we like to smoke while we play video games, which is hard to do if we have to cover the mouthpiece constantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigtoepfer Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 well i've pretty much decided i'm getting a mya. I trust it will be good. If the quality is that of hte QT i smoked out of i have much to look forward to. I owned a 4 hose once it was cheap. I think. I paid 180 for it which isn't cheap but the quality seemed cheap to me. I don't know the name of it tho. It was destroyed in gustav last year it and my cheap little pumpkit. And i always had to explain to everyone that you have to plug the hoses. It was a pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indian_villager Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 For multi hoses I'd recommend a MYA because if you wanted to rig it for solo smoke you can. Where as with a KM you have to go find a bunch of corks or stick a finger in each port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i2ik Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 This is it, my choice will be the Obelisk, now if i order the 1 hose, will the heart still have 3 other hole so i just need to get the auto seal adapter? I am thinking getting 3 other Nammor hose with it. I might also get a single hose hookah, probably a KM and keep the MYA QT when traveling or camping. I am curious how good the KM are for the single hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
