mushrat Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 well shit. Can you send me a picture? I'll make sure it is seen and can probably get it replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fresshh Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thanks for all the replies. I only rinse it with warm water and never use anything to clean it. It just started pealing last week and is now almost all pealed. Your right, it does screw off and I would be greatful for any way getting a replacement. I'll take a photo now =) All in all it's been very good and I have no complaints. I'll upload the picture now and thanks again for the replies and help!

dizzbizz Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 That doesn't look good. I'm sure they'll replace it for you. Their customer service seems pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Wow that sucks... I've heard about this happening with Myas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoapplesplease Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 really Odd. why can't mya just make the same quality across the board..thats clearly a cheap chromed aluminium downstem.....The MYA I have now the whole thing is super heavy brass core with a really heave chrome plaiting that is a measurable thickness.And it is the lowest cost replacement mya stem. I also years ago bought a premium mya globe boho that was basically a shorter collossus. paid a lot for it. only to have a cheap aluminum innerstem that was under the decorative globe corrode away rendering the $200 mya useless. with mya you don't always get what you pay for. some models are built way better then others and it has nothing to do with the price tag what so ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Shit, I have never seen a Mya Saray downstem do THAT before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 My bambino did that where it was in/just above the water line but MYA sent me a new stem for free. Good solid company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fresshh Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Just got off the phone with Mya and they want to send me a new down stem for free. I'm happy with the customer service. That's good to stand behind your product and replace any/all defective parts etc. Now I must go smoke some hookah ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fresshh Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 /sigh so now the top piece where your bowl sits on is peeling too.. I've had cheap $40 hookahs before and I don't remember them peeling as much as this more expensive one. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I have never seen a downstem like that on a mya. Thread and lips on all the ones I have seen are less than 1/2" and never look like a brass nipple look to them. Honestly I think you may have got ripped off, can you do a full shot of your rig?

fresshh Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 I posted some pictures on page 1 of this thread. I purchased it through southsmoke so I would think it's a legit hookah but who knows. It was cheap compared to Mya's price on their website.

mushrat Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I'd sent a link to your pictures to the guys at Mya. Can you post a picture of the peeling on the stem as well? I've been talking to them about this for a while and they said they had it fixed. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been talking to them about this for a while and they said they had it fixed. *sigh* Thanks for your help! I had spoken to someone there and they said they would send me a new downstem. I just received a UPS package and it had an entire new stem. The whole thing. I am shocked! haha So hopefully this one will be good. =) Edited February 15, 2013 by fresshh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
