hookah hippie Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 the stem does look similar to a MYA though I don't believe it is one. Seems like a chinese made non mya pipe to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SultanofSmoke Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Yeah me neither at first but it has the MYA logo engraved (or like etched or w.e) on the gasket...so its AT LEAST a MYA stem (it also is heavy brass and unscrews and everything) I would take another picture of the MYA logo but I assure you guys I'm not wasting your time and it does say it. Might be a mish mash of parts....I unno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahl071 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 if the word mya is etched on the actual stem (somewhere near the hose ports), that's mya's genuine article markings. if it's on the gasket, that just means he could have used a mya gasket.

SultanofSmoke Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 by gasket I mean the part where the hoses come out of....and the stem is a scewable one meaning it all fits together....does this help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SultanofSmoke Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) i typed gasket meaning the part of the stem where the hose and valve are. EDIT: sorry for double post up above Edited January 23, 2010 by SultanofSmoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cr15p3rz Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 looks kinda like a mya odyssey with a egyptian glass base instead of the acrylic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon` Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I believe he's talking about the heart of the stem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelios Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Looks like the stem from the full size acrylic but the normal acrylic is a screw top AND the heart is spherical, not elliptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 That stem, purge, and heart are all new to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oriteku Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 It looks like one of MYA's older stems. Especially with the male bowl setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 It's similar to Mya, but there's many differences. I'm saying it's a Chinese, but not a Mya... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SultanofSmoke Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 ill borrow a housemates camera tomorrow and take a picture of the MYA on the stem so we can stop arguing if it a MYA or not but rather which type or if its a FAKE mya. It says mya on the heart clear as day....Plus the stem (shape) is mya-esc so its not from left field. I think it does look like some of the ones offered today but mabye its just old? Not sure.

[/quote] Sorry, didn't see in the original post where you said it has the Mya stamp on it. It could very well be legit and just something old that a lot of us here haven't seen before, or the stamp could be fake. But yeah, definitely give us some more pictures of everything so we can better determine it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo_Master Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 That looks like an older Mya. Pretty cool, i've only seen a few of those around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
