wpw36 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 so i was grabbing my km to show a friend, i grabbed it by the top of the stem for two seconds to bring it around to infront of me it was no more than two inches off the ground all of a sudden i see the base fall in slow motion and as i hear the crash and shattering of broken glass my heart stops for a minute or two.. then everything comes into focus and i see my base lying broken on the floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NitetimeReign Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Man that sucks. Speaking of which I need to get in the habit of grabbing my KM by the base and not the stem..yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cp44 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 be more careful next time, dont matter if you lift it a centimeter or move it an inch always always grab by the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecoalition Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 i must be the only person that follows a strict policy of one hand on base bottom and 1 on stem whenever i move my hookah. perhaps its why i've never broken a hookah. perhaps i am just awesome...you judge it.

kyleSD Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 same exact thing happened to me, like no more than a foot off the ground. AND i had a vase protector so i thought it would cushion the impact, nope. and then the next week i was cleaning the vase of my oldest hookah and the hot water made the bottom fall out! what the!?! feel for you bud.

Chreees Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 And this is why I ALWAYS move my KM by holding it at the vase's neck and also gripping either the bottom of the vase or the mid-section of the stem to make sure everything remains stable.

Codename067 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Ouch... Right grommet size = You should not be having this problem. It happened to me twice, and since then, I made sure the grommet was super ultra tight between the stem and the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
