Mya Qt Comparing To A Km


Recommended Posts

i can't say from personal experience as i havent smoked a KM but i have heard that while the Mya qt will put out a ton of good thick smoke especially for a small hookah, the KM performs better under most conditions. the KM probably has higher end pieces made from higher quality materials.

bigger myas have common chambers, some are even plated. myas are all made in china, glass is cheap depending on what kind and wheres its made, a toss up when you buy a mya.

kms have traditional chambers, generic egyptian glass, way better hose.

id personally go km anyday over a mya

they each have there pro and cons, but the bottom line is you will be happy with either one..

km
pros

its a km meaning its good quality
if you like short or tall they have sizes for all
many different colors
smokes like a angry dragon
traditional
cons
can be pretty expensive
the larger models take more effort to clean
paints peels and chips from some vases
being that no vase is alike sometimes you need to custom fit your gromets to your vase

mya qt
pros

priced cheap
small easy to carry around from your house to friends house
being small its much easier to clean and take apart and set up
can accept nammor,narbish,grand washable hoses for maximum smoke

cons
cant think of any

hello hookahforum.
im curious about the differences between a MYA QT and a KM besides the obvius differenes like height and price. what do u think do the MYA smoke just like the km?



I own both a qt and a trimetal and a double pear. The pull is a little easier on the km, bot not by much. Besides the pull, the only difference I can think of, besides the size, it's the cleaning. The km are harder to clean because of their size.

I used to have a KM OG Trimetal, but now I have a Mya QT. I got the Mya because I couldn't afford another KM. The QT will treat you good. Only real differences between the two are aesthetics, the amount and density of smoke you'll get (KM's a little better), and cleaning will be easier for the Mya. Having owned both, that's all I can really think of... I'd personally just get a Mya QT if I were you, especially since you said you can't afford a KM right now.

There is no comparison, get a KM



agree. A KM will last you forever. Ive had myas only last a year or two at most before seals start messing up or shit starts rusting. When you hit a KM its like taking a breath of air, when you hit a mya its like sucking out of a straw unless you get a better hose. I have no scientific proof of this, but taller pipes smoke better because of the distance from the bowl to your mouth, the smoke has more time to cool.

A mya qt will smoke just as well as a km, assuming your using the same bowl and hose.

personal expierence.


took the words right out of my mouth


i will disagree with you here...

the QT will never pull as loosely as a KM. it just won't happen...unless you modify the QT's stem. does that mean the QT can't get good clouds? nope. now, Walt or some other math magician will probably prove me wrong...but, with the larger diameter of the downstem...more smoke can be pulled when you inhale. so the potential for cloudage seems to be higher with the KM...

also, consider that the smoke stored in the base is going to be inhaled as well...so, the more smoke in the base...the more you can possibly get into your lungs. i've noticed that i can pull faster than the bowl can keep up with...so, i'm probably pulling in a good amount of air with my smoke...if you have a larger store of smoke (in the KM base), you have less of a chance to take in air...

just my thoughts...

and not to sound condescending...but, if your KM is putting out clouds on par with your QT...then something isn't quite right with the set up of your KM...

I have owned a MYA QT for about a year. I have never owned a KM but have smoked out of one. I do own a 36" Al fakher Solid. I've been told both KM's and Syrians smoke similar. I've also been told a good hookah should last at least 3 years. I've known people to attest that each three can last that long. I don't see why not either. At the rate I've owned the two I can definitely see it a possibility. Both hookah's are no problem to clean

However this is where things get different. The MYA QT is way more portable. A tad bit easier to clean than a bigger hookah. I can say that people have knocked my MYA QT over plenty of times and I've always dropped ice cubes into the base, and it's never broken. It seems it would last long. Non of either have rusted on me. Both purge valves work great and I use the metal ball bearing in both. The QT has a small tray which is a minus if I want to cut a session short and ash the coals. The bigger tray on the AF works way better. Both are great to have for different reasons.

I have got bitchin' clouds on the QT. Of course I have with the AF too. The difference I think is the pull on each. With the QT you can't use a really wide gauge hose without it working funny imo. It's a different kind of pull. And with the QT being so small it's a hotter smoke. Whereas the longer stem on the AF and bigger Jar you get much cooler smoke.

This is all in my opinion and experience. I'm sure I've missed a few things but overall you will enjoy your sessions with either. The AF I will say is great eye candy though as are the KM's over the the small MYA's. One last thing is I don't like to support China all that much. They make everything, and they make it badly. Gotten many Chinese made things that are just cheap. And the way the people are treated there, the way the government works, and the way they send there lead painted toys over I just don't like it at all. It's pretty sketchy if you ask me.

the QT's stem will chomp on your stem brush...you're pretty much stuck with running water through it...

which sucks when you smoke Nak Cardamom or Earl Grey...


That's why they make smaller brushes for a few bucks or less. smile.gif Probably made in china as well.

yep, i have a vortex and a nammor, i'd use those


I'm not going to say you're wrong, because it's a matter of opinion, but I disagree. While a small Mya works GREAT compared to all the other shitty hookahs that are out there, KMs have a wider pull (easier to smoke).

I am having the same delemma. I am getting either the QT or the Bambino for someone else for Christmas and can't decide .... What are the Pro's/Con's of each?

Its been argued a bunch but i def. prefer the bambino, for me the only reason to get a Qt is if it important to have a 2 hosed pipe, which i think is a little rediculous on such a small piece. I prefer the bambino just because its heart is not rough like the rest of the myas. I have found you have to adamant about cleaning those Myas and once they really start to ghost there is nothing you can do. Plus the bambinos look way more badass.
