fresshh Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I just got a Econo Mya Diablo (Ruby) Hookah. It's a huge upgrade from my standard small ones. I'm fairly new to Hookah set-ups and this being my biggest one yet I'm a little concerned with the downstem which barely goes into the base at all. It doesn't look like it was tampered with or anything. What should I do? I'll post a picture if it will help. Thanks!

mushrat Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 add enough water so the downstem is 1" into the water and give it a go. may not be a problem at all. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Never seen an Econo Diablo, where did you get it? (Very Important) Pictures defientely help. Possilbe solutions. Contact Mya Saray or Store you purchased from for longer downstem. Go buy $0.60 worth of 1/2" tubing and extend it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His question is important because Mya doesn't HAVE an econo Diablo on their normal listing. So please post a picture and where you got it. Thanks Stuuie.

Chreees Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Lots of Mya fakes out there, so yeah... And lots of places that sell 'em, too. We need the place you purchased it from and pictures of hookah in question before we can really help ya out. Stuie is a BAMF, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawhee Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 in the event that its a fake mya you got screwed :/ hope you didnt though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I emailed Mya. They are also interested in whoever sold you something billed as an Econo Diablo since they don't make that model in the Econo Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fresshh Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Wow, really nice to see a good turn out for my thread here. Appreciate all the feedback and help. Sorry for the delay. I was afk. Here's some photos and information about this product. I contacted support and was told this model's down stem actually can be pulled and extended. I had no clue. Check the photos and information and let me know what you think! It's really solid and appears to be good quality.

fresshh Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Well just finished an awesome smoke session with the new setup. Mango flavor and in the base I had ice cubes, water, crystal light lemonade and a few drops of banana extract. Really amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang67n Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 sounds like it works fine :) the stem doesnt have to be super long, as long as you can get the water level high enough without issues and thats definitely a mya base and the stem looks mya. sounds good dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 haha thats not a diablo, im pretty sure that vendor is ban also on here. gogo no mod powers!! but not a bad pipe just bad people changing the name, to the wrong name. lol just make you more interested but if u are wanting to have fun, getting some rubber tubing from like home depot or where ever and drill little holes in it will turn it into a diffuser along with making ur down stem longer. i've done it as a weird bored project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 No, southsmoke is in good standing, just doesn't have an official presence. In fact, they are an Authorized Mya Distributor is I remember correctly. Meaning you can get Stuff wholesale from them at the same price you can directly from Mya itself. I used to get all my stuff from them through their East Coast distribution center, Global Hookah Distributors here in NC. (a hint to anyone on the east coast looking for a wholesale connection. Say Hi from Adam if you call ;))Ya, what you have is actually an Econo Tank I believe.http://www.myahookah.com/TANK-S-237-100.aspxEither way you got a good hookah. You should write a review on their site, I know they were giving coupons/discounts for reviews not long ago.I'll mention to Mahmoud he might want to tell Brennan at Southsmoke about the mislabel.

Nerdy Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Speaking of south smoke. Does anyone know if this is an econo or not?http://www.southsmoke.com/mobile/pd_the_qt_mya.cfm I'm looking into picking up a new travel pipe. The diva I have is a bit on the big side. I've had QTs before but they were either gifted, stolen or broken. Edit: also what makes econo ... Well econo?? The quality? How can you tell?

fresshh Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 haha well that clears things up! Yeah I'm really happy with it and the price is great too. I believe they have quite a few things mislabeled on their site but they have been fantastic with prices, products and freebie coupons! Thanks all for posting!

As far as I know, the econo line and the normal line look exactly the same. The econo line is just made with cheaper materials. In the past (I heard they were trying to fix it), the econo line would rust. Until you buy it and smoke it, I don't think there's any definitive way to tell.

Chreees Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Everything looks fine concerning the authenticity and downstem of the hookah. I actually really admire that style Mya vase. Hope you enjoy your new hookah. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you buy it and smoke it, I don't think there's any definitive way to tell.I actually asked the guys at Mya about that. The Econo line does not now have the same issues the original ones did. Apparently they have improved the process. It's not so much cheaper materials (though they are of course) it's just that they arent Brass cored like the regular line. They are a lighter, hollower design. They started the econo line because they were tired of cheap chinese rip offs of their regular line of hookahs. (yes, the irony is duly noted) so they came up with a lighter, cheaper version of their own hookahs for those looking for something that still looked like a Mya but cost less.

fresshh Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 The downstem has been peeling like crazy. The sliver is peeling right off of it. Pretty much off now. I'm guessing that's not much of a big deal? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 that is a big deal, you have only had it for a couple weeks right? i would call mya and talk to them because ur down stem does unscrew well it should its a mya, i have like 10 and i've never had one peel. are you washing it with something weird or super super hot water? if not call mya and maybe they will send you a new down stem.
