Man, I love this thing.  It's definitely going to be my primary pipe now.  It's incredibly well built, even more-so than my Taqseem Spider and Social Smoke 22" Egyptian (and I was impressed with those!).  The Mya bowl is the best I've used; the foil wraps around the bowl nicely and it pulls smoothly.  The hose is great too, just like my other Mya hose.  And I would have never imagined a little pipe like this could smoke so well, but it's great.  I highly recommend this to anyone.

I'm actually having a bit of trouble with mine... the bowl won't fit tightly over the grommet, and even when it does, the rubber of the grommet doesn't even seem to grip the stem or bowl so well. A tight seal won't last for more than a few seconds, at which point it just kinda slides upward to a looser position again. And it seems to be getting worse or something... I almost couldn't use it at all tonight

To those using the orginal bowls and the thin white grommets that come with the Mya. are you putting the grommet on the stem and then putting the head on top, or are you putting the grommet inside the bowl and then putting it in the stem?
Stupid sounding question i know but I had similar slippage issues with mine.

If I don't put the grommet on the stem first and push it down as far as it goes, it will get stuck up inside the bowl, and at that point I can get a better seal by not using a grommet at all. The tray prevents the grommet from moving further down the stem and I can usually get a better seal without the tray on Between the Tangiers head, clay Egyptian and the Mya, the Tangiers head fits the best. I'm really hoping that a thicker grommet will help, and that it's not some design flaw with the S-Class stem...

Yes buy all means use a thicker gromment mine works perfect now, that was the only complaint I had about my Mya Qt. Mya should look into this problem and resolve it. When you buy a Qt you should have a good experience right off. shouldn't have to wait to see if you can find a thicker grommet. But now my mya qt is my favorite pipe.

It's still my favorite pipe, and I love the thing to death... it's just that beautiful The grommet problem is my only complaint, and even with that I haven't touched my Egyptian since I got the QT...I guess I'll email Mya about it. If I get the chance I'll try the wet paper towel thing too... although I'm not too into temporary solutions

Next time you place an order, just pick up a standard set of grommets.  I'm using the bowl one from my SS Egyptian and it's perfect in both height/length and thickness for the Mya bowl.  It would be nice if the QT came with a grommet that is a bit thicker though so that people with only the QT don't have to do workarounds for it. :-)

I actually got to transport my QT around the other day and it was so convinient with the cage.  Everything fit in there great including a roll of coals and a couple baggies of tobacco.  I'll have to hit up some scenic spots for smoking soon. :-)

What's this e-class / s-class stuff? Which are the ones being sold on myasaray.com? I really really want to order one from myasaray.com, but I'm a bit confused. Since when was "amber" a greenish color? The "grey" color looks green to me too, and I don't have a history of colorblindness.

You can get any of the different stems from myasaray.com, you just have to let them know which one you want when you order. For some reason they don't show the other stems on the website (they don't show a LOT of their merchandise on the website, actually...) Mr. Badawi said it's to give vendors the benefit of offering different products, which I guess is understandable.

My wife asked the same thing about the "amber" color.  Both the
"Azure" and the "Amber" are very dark and sort of greyish, especially
the amber which almost has a charcoal black look to it in normal
lighting.  In reality the amber is a sort of olive-green. 
You can see the color fine in normal lighting, just don't expect it to
be very vibrant.  The "azure" is a grey/blue.

I actually like the less vibrant colors, it sort of makes them look like antique/worn-out glass.
