guest 606 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 so i just found out that this persian market in my city called SUPER IRVINE carries hookahs and what i wanted to know is what to look for in a good hookah. I've been planning to buy the QT but how would i know the difference between a real mya and a knock-off? And if they don't have mya's what's another good brand to look for?

MrGuy Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Well hmmm, ill have a pop: Pick it up, is it sturdy?is it in good nick? e.g. pain chips, blemishes/worn stem?is it air tight? suck/blow through the hose with your hand over the head to see if you can feel itis it clean? look to see if it looks clean, suck through the hose, see if you can taste anything other than nothing in it.Ask what sort of customer support they offer? will they give replacement parts and help on how to use/maintain/repair it? I can't think of anything else right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 It should also say MYA on the body of the qt I believe...little sticker i recall? Am I mistaken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthEastSmoker Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Yes, says MYA on the stem. Imprinted on the stem, though, not a sticker. Same with the tray, and the metal on the end of the hose. can't miss it if it's a MYA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
