No Show Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Ok i've been seeing some posts about MYA's having a hard draw...and i'm concerned b/c i'm about to order a MYA friday.....should i look into something else possibly? My friend's hookahs draw really easily and i'm looking for a similar experience with my own hookah.. Sorry i know i've been asking alot of opinions on my first hookah....but i dont have the cash flow to buy something shitty and to have to get something different afterwards.. Thanks again in advance!!

cymptom Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 One thing you could do is email Mya and ask them for a measurement on the stem diameter, and then compare that to your friend's hookah. Like I just said in another thread, I've been dissatisfied with the stem diameter on more than one Mya hookah, but that doesn't necessarily reflect their entire line of products...

Erica Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Who ever was complaining about a "draw" problem on a mya, were doing something wrong, IE Packing the bowl too tight, too much water, the ball bearing not being in all the way... *edited* I don't think I have ever smoked out of a Mya that has a draw problem due to design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 It's not so much a problem, it's just that it's not really a [i]good[/i] draw... the two Mya stems I've seen were maybe a little more than half the diameter of the QT and my Egyptian.

yashman19 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I second Erica's comments about perhaps packing it too tight? Could be the reason. You'd think with all the thousands of sales Mya has made on hookahs, more than a few comments regarding the tight draw would have come up. I don't have a mya though, so take this as you will.

King Mo Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 there is no problem, but the stem is narrower than many other makes e.g., some of the shishas we bought from Egypt are a heck of alot wider and there is a noticable difference when you pull. It's easily noticable side by side with a wider one, but generally I wouldn't say it's anything to be concerned about. Every shisha has its pros and cons.

I was shocked when I took apart my Mya Bohemian and saw how narrow the stem is. But it's like King Mo said -- it's not a problem per se, but if having an easier draw is really important to you, you should ask Mya for some specs on whatever model you're considering.

[LB] Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 you can adjust your draw on your hookah, usually they are not entirely responsbile for the draw. I know myas dont have a hard draw, they have a very soid average draw- maybe its a tight hose your thinking of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPR234 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I've had people complain about the pull on my QT because its actually too soft, which I consider a good thing. They're used to sucking on my brother's hookah, so when they go for a hit off the QT they get more smoke than they want and whine about how harsh it is.

I know myas dont have a hard draw, they have a very soid average draw- maybe its a tight hose your thinking of[/quote] yea the hose also helps, but when doing a comparison, you would assume the hose is the same width in either case. I have physically sucked on the hose connector of the MYA acrylic and the MYA QT and also the hose connector of a standard egyptian shisha with a wider diameter. there is a [b]significant[/b] difference. It won't mean your shisha won't smoke well, but if you are a perfectionist then it may be an issue. Personally, I'm not bothered, the MYA has a decent pull whereas the wider shishas have an 'above-decent' pull. I am satisfied with decent, and this is offset by the convenience of some of the features of the MYA as well as the build quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
