I leave my hookahs outside every night after smoking without touching them, i will take in the hose though. so today as usual i took my km in to clean it and peel back the foil and with no effort or reason my mini comes apart with the foil.



you didnt drop it or anything?

Did it get unusually cold that night? Perhaps the temperature dropped too fast.

That shouldn't matter. I don't have a mini, mine is just a small, but same concept. After I am done smoking and get ready to clean, the bowl is still scorching hot after I take the foil off. I put it straight into hot water for a few seconds, then straight to cold. Hasn't broken so far.

It was previously discussed that there may be hairline fractures which were not fixed but covered by the clay dude which became intensly fragile when fired and after multiple uses the clay expand/contract mechanism weakens it to the point of breaking...
talk to eric hes more descriptive.

This is what I was getting at with the temperature change... any fractures will be exasperated by big temperature changes over time.

STOP using the bowl immediately.

[ - ] Can I heat the glue?


Do not microwave or heat Gorilla Glue.


[ - ] What are the first aid measures for inhalation?


If inhalation causes physical discomfort move to fresh air. If breathing difficulty occurs or product is swallowed, seek medical attention. Individuals with chronic asthmatic conditions should consult a physician prior to using this product.

Even though you glued the outside, the vapor from the glue still floats up through the foil.
And read the dude above me's post...

i barely use the bowl any ways. its for my mini. i havnt noticed any change in taste or any discomfort.


Just because you can't taste it doesn't mean it's not there. Carbon monoxide poisoning for example...

Do yourself a favor and toss the bowl.
