newjacksm Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 So I got a base from thehookah.com I bought the shimmer base where it said it was 12inches tall and 2 inch in diameter the size of a KM Base I bought it specifically for my KM. It stands a little under 12inches not a huge problem but its about 1 3/4 inches in diameter. I really dont want to shave off the grommet so I can go back and forth inbetween bases.Any Ideas as what I can use for a grommet for the new base??Kinda made me mad..

AKammenzind Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 What I'd do would be to sand down the grommet to fit in the smaller base, and when you want to use the larger base just wrap some wet hemp cordage around the grommet and you'll be fine.

Stuie Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Just get an extra grommet, they aren't that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjacksm Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 eh I guess I will for next order, but what kind should I order a medium ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I would probably go large and shave it down a bit. Just make sure it fits on the stem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NarghileNights Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 okay guys.. this is hard to talk about unless you have experienced it.it is almost impossible to fit bases to stems. we have 45 of the same exact hookah at the lounge - not every base will fit with every stem - that is just how it is!when someone comes in asking for a base we always.. ALWAYS ask them to bring their stem in because we have to fit it to a base.whenever you buy a new base you should always try and go local, or buy a set of grommets to come along.sorry it doesn't fit - but you just can't expect it to be a perfect fit.
