So I was messing around with my hookah earlier and the tube from the stem fell off haha. I noticed the inside of the tube had white stuff surrounding the inside that looked like tub caulk.
I thought it would have been threaded but it's only a cheap $20.00 pumpkin hookah. Any idea on what I can use to re-glue the tube back on? Thanks!

Pumpkin hookahs are notorious for stem erosion. There isn't much you can do. I would HIGHLY suggest buying another pipe, considering one of the best brands on the market, Mya, has hookahs the same size but 20x the quality hookahs for 30-40 bucks.

Hoooowwwwvverrrr. If you must repair your pumpkin, I would suggest investing in a soldering iron. If you don't know what that device is, it's a metal rod that can be plugged into the wall, and is used to melt soft metals into whatever shape you want. Melt some wire around the broken section, stick your downstem back on, and tadaaa! No guarantees how well or long it'll hold, but that's my only idea.

I saw the title and thought shisha stems. I love Nakhla Double Apple but found one as long as my finger recently. Sorry for the thread jack.
To kind of contribute to the thread, it's not worth fixing. If you can't afford a real hookah you can always get the same one for $20 and start over.

I just unthreaded the top tube from the stem and there was a small aluminum piece that
was threaded on one end and tapered for the tube that goes into the base which was glued
and not threaded like the other end. So i just used gorilla glue and It's fine now.

I'm definitely ordering a KM this week or next. I bought the pumpkin to have for backup
and to get by until payday! Thanks for the fast response!
