Apollo Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hey, ive been looking for a new hookah, and i really like the way the mya saray's look, they look solid and beautiful. But are they worth the cost... I'm not expecting them to give supirior smoke qualitiy or anything, i just wana make sure it wont break on me or rust, or things allong those lines.

mtbsolo Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 You were the one looking into the "vortex hookah" from hookah-shisha before right?All i can say is, i have that particular mya and even though i cut slits in the lower stem to act as a diffuser, after 2+ months there are no signs of rust whatsoever. It smokes beautifuly in spite of the fact that it takes a bit more than the average hookah to clean properly. Im completely satisfied with my mya and with what i spent on it. No regrets whatsoever. =) Its both beautiful and functional. Just my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 thank you much, soon as i can accumulate the funds necessary i think i am acctually going to order directly from mya saray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Yes, Mya Saray's are worth the price. But by asking that, are you implying that they are more expensive than the average hookah? I don't think that they are are unreasonable in price, unless you're getting one with a unique stem or cut crystal vase. 100 bucks for a quality hookah isn't unreasonable. I have a Mya Saray "Vortex" or pyramid style hookah with 4 hose adapters plugged in to it and it is a great party hookah. It came with a carrying case, scimitar tongs, and some other goodies. I won't recommend who sold it to me to you, though because they tried to rip me off with other accessories it was supposed to have come with.

sambookamax Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Some of the Mya Hookahs are absolutely beautiful! And I am considering one of there taller models down the road..I need to do some research on the stem first though...If the stem is a straight tube, I say "Go For It"! However, If the stem is anything like the QT, I would steer clear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiKaL Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Mya's are great hookah's. I have had a mya acrylic now for 2 1/2 years and it still in great condition. It smokes just as well as it did on day one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASUSEAN1 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I have the same mya glass 22" for 2 years. It has been my everyday smoker and there are no signs of rust. It still smokes like a champ and gives good smoke volume. The only problem in my eyes is the purge valve, you can't clear the smoke chamber. This isn't to big of a deal to me but otherwise I think mya's hit just as good if not better than any other hookah out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roninjinn Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Whooooaaaa.. Hold the phone.. the Mya's don't have a Purge valve? (Remember, I'm new ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Yes, they have a purge valve... unless it's a two hoser with two hoses attached... some people replace their purge valve with a extra hose port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 YES YES YES And YESi love all of my Myas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roninjinn Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Whew, Okay.I was worried for a minute lol. Have to have a purge valve, I guess I just don't have lungs of steel, but I like to clear the base every couple of hits. Just taste better to me. (Especially if I'm about to get a big hit, I always clear the base) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASUSEAN1 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 sorry, i should have been more clear. the purge valve just doesnt work as good as lets say a good egyptian. i like everything about my mya better than an egyptian besides the valve. It still clears smoke, just not all of the smoke. Since I hardly ever clear the chamber, unless it gets harsh, this isn't much of a problem for me.

DizzyGuy Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I thought it was just in the QT that the purge valve "didn't work as well"... althoughit works good enough for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASUSEAN1 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 my 22" doesn;t clear all the way either (same with the acyrics), but like you said, it works good enough for me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shonimus Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 My MYA works well. I often get compliments on how nice it is and how nicely it smokes. I think it's worth the extra money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxy3546 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 yo, no doubt, man. Get the Mya. I have an acrylic: unbreakable. its my party hookah and it can seriously take a beating. Not to mention, it seals up perfectly, no leaks whatsoever. I happen to like the looks of more traditional hookahs more, but if you like the looks of a mya then youre set; snag one.

unleashtheclown Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 (edited) i have 4 mya's and every one is worth every penny paid. As said they dont clear all the way usually, but mine all clear enough to get rid of about 60-70% of the smoke in the baseYou should be the first to try out the new diva mya Edited March 1, 2007 by unleashtheclown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakemonster Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I gotta break step.....I used to think they were.. not so much anymore these days.... they are either unsleeved or the ones that break down have that damn aluminum downstem that leaves gaps.... problematic and just doent smoke as well as my traditional rigs.Im done with MYA.....except for the hoses.
