chrisrbts Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Has anyone tried to put a large base protector on the medium 19" inch sahara smoke hookahs?Just wondering if it would fit before i purchase one (i don't have any local hookah bars that carry the base protector, so i would have to purchase it online)[attachment=287:DSCN0737.JPG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leadpipecinch21 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 (edited) i have no idea if it'd fit, but something that i would recommend would be to get some of that protector stuff you put under area rugs so they don't slip, cut out a circle that's the same size as your hookah, and just put it under it. costs less, and it quite effective...that's what i had done for my hookah, and i've never had a problem with it.

Dr.Moobs Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 (edited) Just use a towel. its easier and cheaper. Edited May 3, 2007 by Dr.Moobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hap_Jackson Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I own the same vase but I haven’t seen any need for a base protector. With such a wide base it's already incredibly stable. I haven’t seen anyone with a Sahara vase that had a base protector nor have I noticed any base protectors made specifically for this particular base shape.

You shouldn't have to worry about the bottom cracking. On the other hand the new mya bases have rediculously thin bases, soft glass, and the bottom doesn't have thicker glass like the older myas.. its a disapointment that a hookah for that much money isn't made to the same quality it used too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisrbts Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 Yea, i was more worried about scratching my base then knocking it over.The Large base protectors are 6.5" in width and the specs on my base say it is 6.5"s wide, but i think mine is slightly wider. I might just go ahead and order it because i want a funnel bowl too, so might as well only pay shipping once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leadpipecinch21 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 i'd measure your base first to make sure it is actually 6.5 inches... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
