gunsNhookah Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I've been having a horrible past few days.1. My job informs me that they've already paid me for my hours that I've worked (which I thought they didn't).2. My rear driver's side window falls down and won't go back up. On top of that it just rained like the amazon. Sucks.3. So I put my base with water in the freezer and fell asleep before I could take it back out. Woke up today and found my base in huge pieces. I almost cried...So now here I am, unable to get a job due to a certain circumstance, zero funds, and freshly bought shisha and I cannot smoke...FMLP.S.It could be worse.

srawas89 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Well I normally dont but water in a base in the freezer and for future use I suggest putting in salt so it does not freeze but gets cold. Sorry to hear abuot your run of bad luck but good things will come...it always does. As for your car window if you have the time try to take out the interior of the door and push the window back up. Be careful you dont want to break the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foibled again Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I would not recommend adding salt to the water because of the effect chloride has on the corrosion rates of all commonly used materials in a shisha, including brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 guess it's time to start looking around the hose for vases that will make a temporary substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I broke my vase, I found a few of the water jugs that had a 2" opening (I have a 34" KM) that would have worked just fine, but the jugs were a bit big, you probably could get away with finding one that you wouldn't have to modify.When my vase broke, I made a PVC vase until I was able to find another, though it was a bit expensive.

I'd stick to useing ice instead of freezing the whole base, for obvious reasons. Hope things have improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidglass Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Well man sorry to hear that but here's some advice if you'd like it.The base can be salvaged for a few bucks, gorilla glue or super goo work wonders on a broken base I survived for 6 months on a repaired based that broke into a few big piecesIt can be hard to endure bad times, but I am a firm believer in things balancing out, so think of this as the rain (no reference intended) before the rainbow) Endure, adapt, and endure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsNhookah Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 I got awesome news!!!My girlfriend offered to buy a new hookah (another sahara smoke). But then my friend said he needed an excuse to get a new one and he will just give me his (sahara smoke)!!But then, I found a 15 yr old egyptian hookah for $20 on craigslist.After I brought it home, I cleaned it out, and was about to smoke it, until I found a air leak in the stem gasket. It seems it would have worked 15 years ago, but times have changed. I was bummed out until the girlfriend mentioned to try putting plastic between the vase and stem.Needless to say, it worked like a charm!!!I was so happy just to be smoking again, I smoked hookah-hookah cinnamon and liked it.Thanks to everyone giving me support in such dark times. I know things could have been worse, but I'm glad this forum exists with the helpful people that frequent it.I will try to get some pictures of it.

redjako Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Sucks man, things come in waves good and bad sometimes Try warm water in your base if you haven't already, I've made a permanent switch after being a super-ice packed jar guy.Smoother, better flavor / pillow clouds.

gunsNhookah Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Here is the pic of the 15 yr old hookah. Yes, that is super saran wrap to make the uber gasket fit. Been trying to shave off the old black stuff to refit it with sexy sillicon gasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
