Bowl stuck in downstem help

  1. It’s basically like every other bowl gets stuck in downstem story, but I’m terrified to break it cuz it’s brand new and I don’t really feel safe trying the hot to cold method. I’ve tried putting it under hot water, blow dryer and even bong cleaner, and now I can see the spot the resin is because of the cleaner and it’s like glued in the bowl somehow. I’ve tried holding a lighter up to it as last resort and I do see it melting or bubbling but it gets so hot where I cant touch it and I can’t try to pull it out, when I do get to when it’s hot still it still doesn’t come out. I don’t have alcohol on me and would have to go buy some but not really into that because the virus . Is the lighter method worth to keep trying? Idk what to do it’s brand new bowl and stem and I don’t want to break it

    It’s way to slippery to just grab it with even a cloth or shirt, I have a handle on the bowl to so it isn’t easy to twist it
     
  4. And I’m not like not trying either my fingers have like blisters almost from pulling so hard and they hurt cuz I’m getting so frustrated.

  5. when you heat it up, try twisting very gently but consistently. It takes more force to unstick it than to keep it moving, so once it spins try and lift it out of the joint.

  6. Just leave it in the sun all afternoon and try it at 3 o’clock. Boom

  7. Get out your charging cord and choke that bitch out.


    *this technique is usually best when a downstem is stuck in a bong, but if the bowl is low enough to the downstem it could work.
