Question about double hose/single hose...

[rishi]

I'm about to buy a MYA acrylic, but it is a double hose version. I can't find the single hose version anywhere (the manufacturer charges a little more for the desired specification than retailers).

I am wondering if there is a way to convert the double hose version to the single hose version -maybe by using a small purge valve type piece. Is this possible? Is the piece readily available and if so from where?
(I'm doing this because I smoke alone and understand single hose variants offer a slightly better draw/pull) If I can get this 'piece' will it be as effective as a regular single hose hookah of the same spec?


Any thoughts? (thanks)

I use a rubber stopper on my two hose if I am smoking it alone. It becomes an instant one hose, smoking just as good as my one hose egytian does, then I I have friends over I take out the rubber stopper and put in a second hose.

Mya's site doesnt have the purge valve but it does have

This makes me think that the purge valve and your extra hose adapter should deffinitely have the same threading so I bet if you e-mail Mya and ask them about getting a purge valve they would sell you one. From my experience their customer service is excellent.

Yeah the Chinese knockoffs are that way. One piece that screws on is a vent, the other piece that screws on is a hose port. Same threads, same hole. Two hose or one hose/one vent...doesn't matter. With your case, I have no idea. They may just be calling it two hose rather than explaining its function, just to sell more.

All of the one hosed Acrylic Myas that I have two extra holes to make them into a two, three, or four hosed hookahs. They have a little nub like screw that comes with the hookah.. so, If I were you, I would try to call up Mya Saray, and I'm sure you could buy one from them.

Yeah, what Erica said. I have a glass single-hose Mya I picked up at my local shop, and it has the same stem as in Erica's pics. There is the hose adapter, the purge valve, and two screw on plugs with o-rings in case I want to turn it into a multi-hoser. I am sure they would sell you one of those plugs.

I know that the QTs at least can be converted from one-hose to two-hose, as a friend of mine also has one and we once used parts off of his on mine to make it a two-hoser temporarily. The acrylics look to use the same hardware as the QTs for the hose outlet and the purge valve.
