triggaman Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Hello everyone!I just wanted to say that I own two MYA hookahs, ones an acrylic and one is just a 22" stem and I use my own glass base. My friend has this egyptian hookah he recently got and it smokes so much better in every aspect... From the hits, the flavor, everything is so much smoother and the smoke is so much cooler. So I was thinking of getting a new stem from Social Smoke (The Oasis). I already have a nice egyptian base so I was just going to get the stem. But has anyone else here had an issue with this? The mya hookahs just smoke differently, the smoke is more gray, and i always taste some coal no matter what my set up is. We once tried both hookahs and I set both of them up the same way and his was still so much better. But yeah, just me ranting, comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web250 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Many variables could affect your smoke (tobacco, coals, heat, acclimation, water level and temperature, etc etc etc). MYA's are pretty popular here. However, SS does make great hookahs as well. If you have the money, and think it'll make a difference, than try it.Worst comes to worse, you've expanded your collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I've tried a number of different Mya machines (mine: QT and Bohemian, others: Acrylic, big blue cloissone) and feel pretty strongly that Egyptians perform and feel much better. Like Web said, there are plenty of other variables that could be affecting your smoke, but all I can say from my experience is that Myas just don't hold up in terms of performance, and are questionable in terms of manufacturing quality.

triggaman Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 Thanks for the responses guys, appreciate you guys being honest as well. I think I am definately going to pick up the oasis stem. If I already have an egyptian base, it shouldnt make a difference if I just get the stem only correct?

Allia22 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Just make sure they'll fit and you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 There are three normal sizes of jar, 22, 26 and 30. If you get the appropriate gasket for the jar, it will fit most shanks. It may look a little dumb to put a 30 jar or a shank that has a 22 diameter, but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
