Rafael Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Hey Guys, I'm new here, and I'm from Brazil. I'm seriously thinking in buying this Hookah that seems to be perfect. http://www.myasaray.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=878&DEPARTMENT_ID=47 But first, I would like to know, if anyone here, can explain to me why does it this hookah costs around a thousand dollars. Yes US$ 1,000. Is it because of the vase? About how pure it is? Does anybody have any idea? Today I have to colossus. But one with a crystal vase, and the other one with the obelisk vase. Later tonight I will post some photos. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Holy moley. That's one expensive Mya. No way would I pay that much. It doesn't even really look that good! I have no idea why it's that much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzbizz Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 You got me. I'd only pay that much for one pipe and thats a Meduse. The Mya's stem and tray seem to be made out of glass, but for that price it better be crystal too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Not a fan. There is no way I would spend that much on a Mya, or any hookah for that matter. You can buy 10+ other pipes for that much that would smoke just as good, if not better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 It's real hand cut crystal. the base, stem, and even the tray are crystal. I saw one when I went to their warehouse in Virginia. This is not a hookah you bring out when a few of your friends come over to play video games. It's also out of stock and has been for a while.

[/quote] I have to agree with that statement. Hookahs aren't nearly as good looking in photos as they are in person, for example: before I bought my KM Pharonie, I saw it online and thought it was decent. Walked into a local smoke shop and saw it. I immediately bought it, I thought it was the most bad ass hookah I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafael Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 (edited) Well, I would have to buy this online from US from sites like. ***** ****** My only concern is the shipping. Crystal stuff, I'm worried about the breaking it. Another thing is the import taxes. The product costs US$1,000 + 60% of taxes. I know the MYA importer here and he don't sells this Top models from MYA. People here wuoldn't buy... Another thing, do you guys think that it is a good hookah? I mean, for this price, it better be. There is no review about this. Oh, here are my boys.

cymptom Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 My guess is that it would smoke about the same as your other Mya hookahs. The high price, I think, comes from components that have no bearing on the actual functionality of the piece. If I was gonna blow that much money on a single hookah I'd probably be looking at Meduse pipes... http://www.medusedesign.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a thread on here a while ago that a member posted about them. He went to some event and they had one at every table. He spoke really highly about the performance of it. Ill try to find it. They look sick as hell though. The glass quality is really good too. Theyre made from borosilicate if I remember correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzbizz Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Well good luck man. I hope you can make some kind of deal. I'm sure they will so they can sell it I doubt they even sell one a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafael Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 I have a Question! Well, Many actually... I'm not gonna ask if is it worth it because I know the majority here will say "Hell no!" But, do you guys think it's smokes good? I'm only asking because I can't compare. For me MYA are the best hookahs, but I only think that way, because I never smoked other "quality" branded hookahs (KMs, and others..). We don't have this in Brazil. To tell you the truth, here in Brazil, no one give a shit about what hookah they are smoking you know? All they sell here is these chinese crap that last for like 3 months... So, the options that we have here are: chinese craps X MYA. That being said, it is too easy for MYA to win here in terms of quality, smoke quality. I have 2 MYAS and they are good. Now, I'm looking for THE hookah, and I felt in love with this Ruby Double Cased. Got it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
