Broken Screw-On Base - Need Advice On Replacement!

[Archie]

Hi new poster here.

Here are some pics of my hookah, now broken. This was purchased from a street vendor in Jerusalem. I'm hoping to find a nice replacement, but it is a screw on stem with a diameter of approx. 1.25"

Does anyone have any ideas about where to find a replacement for the base?

Hmm this is a tough find.  All I see are MYA threaded replacements that say 1 3/8 inches opening diameter.  Hopefully somebody else can ID the hookah stem or shed more light on the MYA threaded bases.

Yeah, I know nothing of threaded vases but I'm sure those that do will see the title and chime in.

I know there is a screw on Syrian Nour, but I can't find it or its way anywhere.  I just looked through the most obscure places and found nothing.  

Something like this:

I would try to e-mail companies like Karabetian at info@karabetian.com and ask them if they have anything to help you.  Their website will drive you crazy, btw.

Or you could ask any of the online vendors.  Maybe they have a vase that will work, but hasn't been posted on their website.

This base looks very similar to mine.

Yeah, I thought so too.  The site that has it listed doesn't have them anymore.  The redirection to the vendor is a dead link.  I'm not sure where else to look.

regular gaskets and a 1.5 inch opening regular vase should work just fine

Ive herd of ppl taking a vase with a bigger opening and puting a base gasket over the threads and it works fine! That would be the route to go if you cant find another vase.

Agreed. It's going to be infinitely easier to just find a gasket to put over the screw section and find a base it will fit on.
