manic007 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I got a base protector for my QT. For that hookah it was really simple, just measure the bottom of the vase, which happens to be the widest part. Plus, QT's are infamous for requiring base protectors, so the one available fitted my QT like a glove!!I've seem a wide variety of base protector shapes and sizes.Seriously, your best bet would be to talk to a vendor about this. Maybe email them pictures of your base and ask them to recommend a product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*HOT&SMOKING* Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I rate so to ....Just send the vendor a nice e-mail with the diameter size of your base, and I am sure they will be happy to help.-H&S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilbde01 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Let us know who you get it from, if you do get it. Others, like myself, may be having the same problem. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 With base protectors and base grommets, when I wasn't sure on the size I actually chatted with HS on live chat and they did a test fit to be sure because I had an old pharoah. I gave the dimensions and they ran and tested it. I would just email or chat or call your favorite retailer, I can't imagine why they wouldn't do the exact same for you!

cartercdad Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 well i got a base protector off ebay from Caravansari Imports . they were actually really helpful. i gave them a call and he told me of the colors that he had. i got the blue so it will match my razan hose. price was incredibule 3.55 for the base protector and a whopping 1.97 in shipping so 5.52 altogether. i must say this guy is on the ball. plus his prices are great. so take a look. he said the small will fit a 5 inch wide base and my hookah is 24 inches tall. you will probably need the medium/large of ranything bigger. but give him a call he will help you out.

But in general you should avoid Ebay for hookah related stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
