Mya Breeze with Freeze Review

Is the Freeze A Need?

Hose Packages

     We just got our hands on a Mya Freeze hose. The hoses are a thick gauge hose very similar to a thick mya other than a couple "cool" things. The hose features a detatchable top that screws off. When you unscrew the piece you can put a piece that acts as an ice cube. The package comes with two of these ice cubes that will keep the smoke coming through the hose cool for a while. 

     

The smoke being cool is either supposed to take place of ice in the base or advance the chill of the smoke coming through. I have to say that the chilling or freeze effect does work very well. Even without switching to the second cube in the freezer the chilling effect lasted for a good 30-45 minutes. The big handle helps to also be a very easy hold while you are enjoying your favorite cooled flavor. The hose is decent lenght and long enough to be enjoyed from a feet or two away from you hookah easily.

  

   I do have a couple of concerns about the hose if I was completly honest.One concern I have about the hose is that the handle is a screw on/off configuration and does not have any kind gromit to help the hose stay air sealed. In the package I recieved some of the grooves where warn down and even after appling some plummers tape to help keep it sealed there was still a small leak. After 10 or 15 smoke sessions I can see one of these hoses possibly becoming very leaky especially if you unscrew and screw together the piece multiple times. I don't know why a rubber gromit between the two pieces was not added when it would only add a couple of cents and make the hose a much better construction.

Nammor Ice Piece

     The other concern I have is that the ice cube piece actually sits in the middle of the handle. After removing the ice cube piece the hose actually smoked with a cleaner draw. The ice piece in the middle forces the air to go slower through the hose then with it gone. This seems like not the best option when there are really nice ice handles for hoses like for the nammor which feature a wider gauge and an easier smoke draw. That being said the whole ice package from Mya retials at $15 while the Nammor Hose alone with no ice piece cost anywhere from $20-$25 online. On a side note during the school year Blue Midnight will be featuring a Nammor Hose for $25 and there is no shipping charges!

     

     Everything being account for I do believe these hoses are good. They offer a good smoke session with a cool niche hitch that will give you the "look at this value" when your friends come over. Plus if you don't like the little bit of restricted flow through the hose you can still smoke without the ice cube and get a nice thick draw that you would through a thick Mya. We have not decided wether to carry the Mya Freeze or not so if you guys would like to see this project in the lounge or for sale please comment and like the review.
