rahl071 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I imagine all of you have gotten the email by now-about HS carrying new hypnosis hookahs. Now, some of them look absolutely fail, but does this look like a rebranded mya to you guys?

joytron Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Hookahs outsourced by starbuzz. Sad thing is, they look worse and cost more than their mya counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Eh. Wouldn't buy one, but it doesn't mean they don't smoke well...someone will try one I am sure eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The starbuzz hookah was on the bottom of my list a year ago... this will be below that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Its a Chic base, with a cloisonne ball in the middle of a rip off stem. Im sure the guys at Mya will be calling their lawyers on this one Oh and i love it when the chinese start ripping off other chinese products.

jordan Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Its really amazing how their hookahs look exactly like MYA's but at 1/2 the price, even the bowl looks like MYA's !!!! My guess is they are all made in the same factory in China , ie OEM manufacturing: [img]http://www.hookahking.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/h/p/hp2049black.jpg[/img][img]http://www.hookahking.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/s/t/st903blue.jpg[/img] [quote name='mushrat' timestamp='1296045004' post='495741'] Its a Chic base, with a cloisonne ball in the middle of a rip off stem.

agunn1231 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I had a hypnosis, my mom got it for me. It had a knock off mya bowl on it. but it smoked just as well as any of my other hookahs. Now one of my "friends" has had it for a few months and will not talk to me when i ask for it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epoch Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I think the tall/medium ones look pretty decent, actually. At least they got their copying inspiration from the right place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] it's a girl, but yeah....if i could track her down i would. She is on the move all the time, and associates with people that i would rather not associate with. I think it would be better for me to wait till hookah shisha has that particular one in stock, or order it again from the hypnosis website, cause it was a great little pipe, used specifically for double apple.

no longer welcome Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 they are not much cheaper than their mya counterparts, and on the wholesale level as well. idk what to say. you will have to compare one of those and a mya side by side and check quality. i briefly looked at them, pretty much the same as mya. some look cool, if you are into that style, actually, they look really cool. some of us just don't care for chinese common chambers though so it could be plated in gold and it still wouldn't matter, but that's another discussion. ultimately you guys will decide whether these things sell.
