Haz Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Saw this shisha in a local shop, selling for £20. The head on it definately wasn't a MYA but I wouldn't put it past the shopkeeper to keep the MYA heads to sell separately. Anyway I can tell for definate is a MYA or not? Its a steal if genuine. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 It will have "MYA" stamped on the stem and the tray if it is indeed real. If you can't find the stamp, it's fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Oh yeah, it's a Mya. What's that in US dollars? You can usually get them online for around $30 plus shipping. Good hookah. I'd get it if I were you. Hell, I wouldn't mind picking one up myself sometime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I don't know. I've never seen that hookah with a base that colour. Is MYA stamped in little tiny letters anywhere on the base of the stem? The STYLE is mya but i'm not convinced it's legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Mya look alikes: http://cgi.ebay.com/24-1-Hose-Acrylic-Hookah-GREEN-/230466499309?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35a8dfb2ed http://cgi.ebay.com/ACRYLIC-CRYSTAL-25-ONE-HOSE-HOOKAH-SHISHA-PIPE-/260591674905?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cac796619 base look faliliar? also the slightly elongated ports and the chinese modern bowl? If it it's a Mya most companies will brag about it. If they aren't claiming its a Mya chances are it isn't. Also all theor basic hoses now say Mya in white lettering on the hose itself.

Haz Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 £20 is about $30 which for a MYA in the UK is quite cheap. A QT goes for almost twice the price. I'll check it out again and look for the stamps but I'm not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The one he pictured is the Mya Mini Acrylic. But yes, he does need to make sure that it says Mya on the stem and tray to know for sure it's legit. Reason I automatically assumed it was a real Mya was because I hadn't seen the Mini Acrylic faked before. Looks like they maybe got to it now as well... But in his picture it looks exactly like the Mya Mini Acrylic my friend got free with his $100 order from H-S: http://www.hookah-shisha.com/p-2330-mini-mya-clearance-hookah.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 I had wanted the free MYA hookah-shisha were giving away but ordering $100 worth of flavour would cost me about $60 to ship. Its a shame there's no regular supply in the UK of the more exotic brands and flavours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Yeah, shipping from US to UK is a bitch. Hope it's a legit Mya and hope it treats you well. Give us an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I know the hookah, I sold a lot of them. I NEVER saw a base that colour. There was blue, green, and clear. Plus the cheap chinese bowl. Ask to see the Mya box. http://www.myasaray.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=950&DEPARTMENT_ID=46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably a fake then. EDIT: Actually, looking back at the pic he posted, the purge valve does seem to be angled very oddly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 not a mya... hose port and purge valve are all wrong. Contour of the stem is wrong.... and I wish they made a pink Acrylic base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellydancerakn Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Yeah now what everyone is saying the stem does look a wee bit long, but that could be camera angle. And that is one of the longer and narrower mya hose ports I've seen. Check the tray and stem dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't buy it. It's probably fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
