Bad Luck As Always


Recommended Posts

I need to vent but I just did that to my mom and got bitched out/at about my father.

My father is turning 70 Saturday, is retired, and a slob...our house is a mess right now, partially because of my moving home from college, but it was a mess before I moved home. He has paperwork all over the place that he needs to go through but he is too fucking lazy to...he screws around all day on his laptop mass sending comedy emails to people, including me(I have 800 unread messages in my inbox and 650 of them are from him).

Well part of his slobness was not putting his lawn chair away, it was in the way of my mom doing her gardening stuff, so she put over by my hookah. High winds just knocked the lawn chair over, shattered the KM Jumbo Vase, in turn knocking over the hookah and breaking my HJ Alien Mini Phunnel V1. It was my favorite bowl, I have a V2 and don't really care for it. Dammit I loved that bowl...I'm on a mission to get a new V1 now. But ya, I told my dad its his fault and he laughed that I'm out $80...I ordered a new Jumbo and Alien from John and I hope he can help me out and get me a V1 and the vase I want/described.

FML right now...sure its a lil cash, but that was money I was going to put into buying Evan's hookah :(



now for the disturbing pictures

only way I can replace it is if John sees in my note on the order that I want a V1 and he happens by any luck to have a V1 left, or I find a member with one and buy it off of them...I don't like the V2, but thats what I have to use to now and if he doesn't have a V1/doesn't see that in my note then I will have a V3 and I don't know how they are

Kinda hard to replace

good man, one of my favorite movies


on the positive side I just got off the phone with HJ and he is out of V1's but is setting me up with the smallest of his latest version that he has...and he tells me it is cappuccino and is a really sexy bowl...also getting a pretty sweet looking jumbo vase

How do you tell if it's a V1 alien? I have an alien that I rarely use, but I don't know what version it is.

Of course, it may be irrelivant if you like the one John sends you.

they are very very shallow, the later ones are somewhat deeper and hold 5-10g more of tobacco

I loved my V1, it smoked amazing for me, most people didn't like them...the V2 I have I can't get to smoke right all the time, but I'm going to have to learn now...just packed a bowl of Jackfruit

thank you anyway, I really really appreciate your consideration


I'm not as upset today after a long day at work. I took my vase off of my noname and used it last night(too small to keep the heba diffuser on the stem) and it worked decent, so I'm happy knowing I can still smoke my KM until the new Jumbo vase arrives...just grew out of the noname(thinking of selling or trading it after this is done with) and my Mya Petite is a champ, but disappoints me when compared to the KM....I'm good for now, like I said, I have my rig working right now with the retro-one-of-a-kind vase on it, just looks ugly right now.

I'll get pics up and update about the bowl when my order comes in :)


Anyone want to trade for a noname egyptian with a pretty cool retro-vase(small crack in vase) or buy it? ;)

Well, today is my dad's 70th birthday and I had to stay home to wait for the package...good thing I did because fedex just rang the doorbell and left on my doorstep for anyone to take........

anywho, got my new vase(could use a paintjob, got a friend that will do it for me, the gold paint is fading off in parts) and the alien mini is nice, smaller than the V2 but definitely bigger than a V1...I'll be testing it out tonight to see how it smokes :)

Also got two scalli mods yesterday, a third one for a friend...got them from hookahcousins and paid $8.25 for shipping?!?!


anywho, I have to leave for my dad's party, so I'll leave you with a picture (thats a penny in the alien bowl to show depth)

well, I was just setting up my KM at my buddies, put water in the vase, attached stem and hose and set it down on the table...the vase cracked and broke, everything then fell

I'm just glad my stem and tray didn't dented

I guess I just have bad luck with jumbo vases :(

I guess so, these new jumbo vases are way lighter than the dark blue ones from last year, so I guess not as thick...but I think this one had a flaw because it cracked and broke when I set it on a wood table
the chances I take with expensive hand made products that are bound to have flaws...
