frost91 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 So we were smoking out of my Tri Metal at my freinds house. And she has a hot water tap. So i smell my base and it doesnt smell appetizing so i figure i should use some boiling water and wash it out. I forgot that i had put ice inside my base before. And all of a sudden it cracks. no more base means no more hookah for a week. Sad news guys. Sad news. Have to wait a week to try my tangiers blueberry, k cherry, bgb and af ESK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjako Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Yeah, I get worried about that, so I wash it out (with the ice) with cold water. I'll then slowly get it warmer, over the outside and inside. Eventually to the hot water Sucks man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylank0010 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 this could definitely have been posted in the "Dumbest mistakes you ever made" thread. I feel for you though. My friends get impatient and want to smoke bowls back to back sometimes so it always scares the shit out of me to wash my hookah with water that's too warm and my bowl with water that's going to be too cold. probably the bowl more so just because that thing gets pretty toasty. best of luck with the new base and remember this experience!

hookah hippie Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Man that would suck consider having a back up hookah for such mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clumsygrace Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I've done that before, thankfully not with a hookah base, but with other glass dishes and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TizaNabi Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I've scrounged once for a bottle, and like the man says above, used duct tape, even decorated the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 This is why I dont use ice in my bases. Plain and straight water. It gets the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
