dizzbizz Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) I ordered a Mya petite and got the amber base expecting it to be a nice burnt orange, but instead its almost clear and just looks kind of dirty. I was browsing HJ's accessories and noticed he sells QT bases. Would my Petite's stem fit? Those of you who have a QT do you know the OD of the base?

ih303 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 It fits but the downstem is way too short. We busted a petite the other day at the lounge and threw it on a QT base we had lying around. We had to fill it nearly to the top to get that short little stem to reach the water. No good. I'd say you'd be best off either looking for a petite vase or buying a QT downstem to go with the QT base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 The QT downstem with QT Vase with Petite Stem sounds awesome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I will have to go with Ih on this, but I will try it when I get home to see. You may have to extend the downstem for it to work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZ22 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 The stem would fit, but as the others have said the stem would be short since it was meant for a smaller base originally. I wonder if you could email/call Mya Saray and see if you could order just a QT stem or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahl071 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) there's a really simple fix for this Go to home depot or something, get some 1/2" ID silicon hose. attach to the bottom of the down stem, making sure there's about an inch and a half of hose actually around the existing down stem. cut to length. Fixed. BTW, it really is 1/2", cause i just measured my petite down stem for ya. Edit** BTW, that sucks about your vase. I got one in amber, and it's a nice dark orange. Readily transparent, but still well-colored. Edited January 13, 2010 by rahl071 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzbizz Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Update: I just got done chatting with H-S with their online help. They're getting a QT downstem and are making a SKU for it so I can buy it. Quick and friendly service. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The mini acrylic base has a 1.25" opening and the QT base has a 1.5" opening. So yes, It would fit but you may need a thicker base grommit I'd imagine? Oh and I got those stats from the hookah-shisha.com accessories>hookah base section. They have measurements of every replacement vase, so you can match up the current vase on your hookah with the new one you want to see if the stem would fit.

The QT is a female stem, in that the stem wraps around the lip of the vase. The Mini Mya stem is too large to fit inside the QT opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
