Cant get the god damn slide out of the bong, its completly stuck. Ive tried using isopropopilyc (however u spell tat) alcohol and I still cant get it out. HELP
had this once. water creates a vacuum, i paid a local blower to fix it (like 15 bucks) but im not sure how he did it.
Pull and twist gently and tap on it with a wooden spoon. Don't hit it hard, just a nice tap. It will eventually come out, but be warned, it may take a while. Any other way there is more danger of breaking something.
As others have said try the wooden spoon method. If that doesn't work try these two: 1) Using a torch lighter, lightly fan the flame around the outside of the joint and heat it slowly. The heat will cause it to expand and may help you release the slide. Gently pull while slightly twisting. 2) Allow the locked joint to soak in club soda. The bubbles from the carbonation can sometimes work the joint loose. It may take about 10 minutes. I got these tips from Corning's website so they should be fairly reliable.
Fuck that lol POP THE BITCH IN THE FREEZER! it will freeze the water that has your downstem vacuum locked then just try to twist it back n forth gently don't pull up.
When this happened to me I just ran HOT water over the joint and after about a min or so I was able to wiggle it loose
The stem is stuck because it got vapor locked by water inbetween the stem and the joint. So if you freeze it you can break the ice which breaks the seal. Ya know how you can put a card under and upside down glass of water and it doesn't fall off? like that.
