amorsh Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I have this hookah base, and i'm wondering if it's easier to have a glass blower blow a new vase for me, or what.It's a screw ON, not IN type vase, bout 3 1/8ths inch opening for the screw on part.The vase is 6" wide, and 9 1/2" tall. My stem is about 8" long, and I cant seem to find any replacement bases anywhere that are a screw on, and not grommet or screw in. If there's any other way of buying a different vase, and modifying it so it has a tight seal, i'm willing to do that =]If anyone knows where to find screw-on bases, please let me know.

SimplexCoda Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 It sounds like a MYA base to me. You can get them pretty much anywhere that sells myas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amorsh Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Here's a few pictures... of the base/stem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Base looks like a Mya, stem does not. Could be a knock off.... but I think a Mya base would fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinite Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Standard Chinese base. I have two that are screw on as well. Measure the inner and outer diameter and email some vendors like thehookah.com with your specifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 So... why are you looking for a new base? Yours broken/leaking? If so you'd be best just trying to fix it, and saving your cash to get an extra hookah, or more shisha/coals... at least that's what I've done.

amorsh Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) The bottom of the base has a nice hole in it. This is what I bought for 20 dollars... (the entire hookah set) (see pictures).Figured I could get a cheap replacement base for it, and we'd be good. I'm trying to think of the best way to fix it (epoxy, or something) but I didn't know if that would work well since water will be in the base. Shit, I don't really mind epoxing it, and putting some tape over it lol, just as long as it works till I can get myself one of the better hooka's. I kinda like Mya's "The Apex". Anyone know how that smoke btw?Anyways, attached pictures =] Edited December 21, 2008 by amorsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKammenzind Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Ah, well that's not too bad... hit it with some glass silicone sealant and you should be fine (other types will probably work... but not as well)Just make sure to give it a full day to cure... some of those sealants can take quite a while before they're fully cured. That should do the trick though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
