Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 fuck you Easter bunnyMy favorite vase for my favorite pipe.....So I had a friend over who'd never even seen a hookah and after going out to my local shop he wanted to try it out. I planned to smoke from my KM Zahirah because it is my favorite pipe, especially to use to intro people to hookah. I had forgotten after smoking last night to empty the vase (oops) and picked it up and wiggled the vase to pull the stem out holding the stem in one hand and the vase in the other. Shit broke clean of and the entire lower 2/3 of the vase dropped and shattered. I was in front of my children so the "FUUUUUUCCCCKKKK!!!!!!!" I wanted to scream was held in and came out in the form of a single concentrated tear which proceeded to fall to my wood floor and burn a whole of bitterness straight through to the laundryroom. At least that's how it felt. Stupid neck of the vase was still there laughing at me clinging to the grommet.So I'm sitting there dumbfounded with glass and water all around my bare feet. My clear KM vase is gone. I loved it so much. Dammit. The only other vase I have that fits the Zahirah is the one that came with my AF but I cant use that cause it's on hold till I lose more weight.So I either need to cough up some money for a new vase which I'm sure I can find a nice one reasonably priced locally, or wait till I lose weight to have TWO of my pipes.Godammit. /rant for now.I'll miss her. Here she was in her glory days, second from the left.On the plus side I got my friend Will hooked on hookahs and maybe now I can get a boho vase like I've always wanted...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Thanks guys and thanks inino. I think I'll look for something completely new. I have a whole city of hookah shops to explore and find a great vase that'll fit, if nothing else there's a place that sells somewhat cheap looking but sturdy plain egyptian vases for like 10 bucks, I can just go there if the search comes back void.

erufiku Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) Woah, my condolences... By the way you're the second person to break that vase recently, amirite? I have that vase but I've never thought it's special. Guess I need to start taking care of it! Still, it has nothing on the bohemian glass vase that came with the Mash'al.By the way I didn't understand how the vase broke... I always hold the vase with my feet and wiggle the stem out cause the grommet makes for a really tight fit (I usually hold my hookah by the stem when I carry it).

Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Well first I just really liked the clear and frosted glass.Second, I was standing up holding it, usually I do it your way too, and I had one hand midstem and was attempting to wiggle the VASE instead of the stem with the other. It must've bent a pressure point or something because it literally just snapped off right below where my hand was and dropped to the floor shattering.

delSol_si Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Feel your pain main. I broke mine the exact same way, except I was holding the vase to the floor with my feet while wiggling the stem out, so mine just snapped in half, not the whole dropping and shattering part. Tis a sad day. Likespaceships sent me one for $17 shipped tho so I'm happy (he only wanted $15, but I wanted to cover the MF expenses and whatever other expenses he may incur). Should be here monday, I'm excited!Btw, if dafunk hadn't already sent you his vase, I would have sent you my PVC piping vase free of charge, let me know if dafunks vase doesn't work out and I'll send it.. Thats what I have been using in the mean time. Haha, maybe if people keep on breaking vases we can just send the PVC vase around as a make shift vase until they get a new one.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 I was looking for the RIP thread but since our se3arch function sucks "RIP" is too short for results I also searched broken and shattered and nothin nada zip zilch.I tried man I tried. If anyone can find it post here to let me know and I'll post a pic sans long sob story in there too.delsol, man, that pic made me sad, sorry bro, I wonder if it's just because that's where most of the stress is every time we take the stems out? Perhaps holding it firmly at the VERY TOP of the base would solve this? And thanks for the PVC offer, very inventive btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
