I've had horrific luck with my glass over the last few days. my inline 11-diffuser, $120, my girlfriend knocked over my bong when she got out of bed in a hurry and the joint shattered into 4 pieces, male stem is still intact, broke off in the bong. i've tried vinyl cement and superglue, but the cement didnt work at all, and the superglue i think i didnt let dry long enough and it came apart. canister 11-arm perc, 120 dollars, broke in the very same way, when a dog flipped my stereo. no breaks or cracks in anything but the stem, shattered, but ive managed to glue it to usable state. I'm worried about the jaggedness of the stem scraping the female stem and destroying the frosting on the downstem, but so far no significant change in the look of the frost, but its still early on. 35 dollar slide, slipped from my hands in the sink, completely fucked the stem, ive given up all hope. advice? aside from being more careful?
that sucks man better be gettin' some dome from the gf later if she broke 2 of your pieces though lol
In all honesty it seems like you need to find new places to put your stuff. If your Gf got out of bed in a hurry, and a dog knocked over a stereo, you should find a stable place to put them and keep them away from places where they can break. I'm not saying they were not in good places but from what I read they were not stable enough. Do you get what I am saying???
i dig. problem is, i live in a sunroom, so theres fuck all for places. stereo and the floor are the only open flat spaces that my bong will fit in. i think its just a matter of pulling my percs after im done smoking and putting them somewhere that just cannot get bumped, behind the tv or some shit. im not too worried about the bong itself, as its pretty beefy and ive got carpet, but thanks for all the kind words. shit sucks because the canister still works but that was my only 14.4 slide, so no moar percs until i replace the fucker.
Both fixable, i would buy online next time because that 11 arm is on ioffer for 60-70$ every so often. Sad
careful w/ ioffer though. there are quite a few reports about people getting scammed through that site. there are legit people that sell through there, but i cant imagine that a recurring $70 11 arm is legit.
Yea they are, i was going to sell them but they are not very good of quality. They are strait from china and you would be surprised how much they cost. And you can get scammed on ioffer but not with the sellers with reviews.
Yo man I feel your pain.... I bought a 110 dollar triple tree perc bong a while back, day after i buy it its on the floor of my room standing tall, i get out of the shower, go to my room swing my big ass desk chair around and all i hear is, CRAHS and i'm like I knew exactly what I did and I was like FUCK!!!!! not 300 dollars but still... then in september I had prolly ~$700 bucks worth of glass and bud taken by the campus cops... then i got evicted... havn't broken anything since... But dude man I read the title of the post and i was like AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW fuckkkkkkk..... that sucks man.... and I felt your pain.... Buy some 7mm-9mm (if this wasn't) glass next time... its worth shelling out the extra money... and if your looking for quality glass online check out Aqua Lab Technologies they have amazing glass, I'm thinking of getting a downstem at least from them...
All that glass was china glass, try and do what the guy above me said, spend a little extra on some thicker american glass, better than opting for 10000000000000 broken tree percs
If you don't have money to spend on alt, go to a local headshop and ask them for some local blown glass. i got a sick 8 arm perc bong thats built very nice. 150 bucks. all its missing is a big logo that adds 150$ to its value
If you really want to keep your glass safe while it is not in use, buy a small two door cabinet and keep all your glass there. That way nothing is out in the open and can't get broken. You can get cheap ones either at wal mart or any home furnishing place or you can make one yourself if you're good with stuff like that. My buddy has a bunch of very expensive bongs he keep all his slides, ashcatchers, and tubes in the cabinet to prevent accidental breakage and he has had no issues since he started doing this.
I got lucky and came across an entertainment center that has a cd rack on either side built in with glass doors that slide open that each perfectly store a glass bong.
Damn dude that sucks.But its china glass it had to happen sometimes.Also like smiley agent said buy online you could of got all that for under 150 online. And people need to stop giving ioffer a bad name.Yeah you can get scammed if your a dumbass.Read customer reviews read ratings dont be like omg a toro for 160 bucks I gotta buy it.
^^not giving ioffer a bad name. i was letting him know because, unlike sites like ebay and amazon, there is very little fraud protection on ioffer, so there is the potential to get scammed. and for future reference:
