Teh_Hookah_Mang Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Hey, I just got a new hookah vase/base from tj maxx. It fits airtight with my head, but my pipe is too short. Where can i find a longer pipe. Are they available anywhere online? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Hookah_Mang Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 i probably should clarifiy. I bought a realy bif vase, so i need a really big pipe/rod (the part that touches the water) [about 16 inches] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I had this problem a while back. Instead of buying a new stem, I just went to home depot and bought some clear tubing (about the same size as the part that goes in the water) and cut + glued it to the stem. Worked great while I waiting for my new hookah to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Hookah_Mang Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 the thing is i need a permanent solution, do you that think the clear tubing would work just fine permanently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Mine still works well, just like it did orginally without the tubing. Just make sure to use a good glue. Honestly though it bothers me when things aren't perfect like they are when they're brand new. That's why I got a new hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I think the vinyl tubing would be a good alternative, but I might recomend trying to get a clear tube that will fit onto the stem without glue, as you might get fumes depending on the glue you use, even when dry. Try to find different sizes of tubing, and use one that is hard to put over the stem, meaning you really have to force it over the stem, and it should be fine and you wouldn't have to use any glue. Also if you can, post a picture of your new base. I loved that one the other member bought from TJ Max, and would love to see yours as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Hookah_Mang Posted December 9, 2005 Author Share Posted December 9, 2005 yeah ill post it tommorow, im not actually supposed to have a hookah if you know what i mean. I did find a clear vinyl that fits perfectly with lots of effort at home depot. It was 6 dollars, so i didnt buy it. I thought 6 dollars would be enough to buy a new tube, but it seems like that would be too hard to find. Ill get the vinyl tmrw and set it up and take a picture. And brad, incase the "tight" vinyl slips off or something due to condensation, what type of glue did you use? Superglue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookahphxsmoker Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 don't use superglue or any caustic glue that is dangerous to breathe. try gorilla glue, i've used it on everything, even my glass tubes/pipes have been brought back from the dead after using a toothpick and being careful.

Brad Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I used metal bonding glue, but I'm sure you don't have that sitting around your house. Gorilla glue sounds like it would be perfect, though I have a few friends who used super glue on their hookahs and we're all still alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 They use super glue for severe wounds now. Cyanoacrylates are pretty cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
