Hell, I'll take one for free+shipping.

Maybe I can make a bracket to hang it up straight or something.

I have a sulotion! I lost a vase grommet today and went to buy a few so I happened to get a very thick one just in case. And esentially what happens is it raised the stem a bit on one side because I pressed it in further on the other side. perhaps you could do that with theese vases Edited by S3cretz

If you get another one that is really bad (as bad or worse than that one), I'd like to try to make a hanging hookah with it.

Something like this:

That pic is from overstock.com .

I wouldn't do a straight bar to the hanger, I would have the pivot at the height of the bowl.

Think ape hanger bars instead of drag bars.

EDIT: It looks like the vase in the pic could work with a short stem. Edited by Skoozle

Now that's crooked, but here's a bit of interesting science for anybody who night not know. Glass is a liquid. A very stiff liquid that never becomes a solid. Which is why all the window panes in those 150+ year old houses are thicker at the bottom than the top. So technically you could lay it down with the curve up, and in about oh, 300 years or so it would probably have bent back the other way, lol......

The whole deal about glass flowing on old window panes is just a rumor. The variation of thickness is a manufacturing issue and it is just as likely that the window pane will have thicker glass on the top.

Caused me to go back for some secondary research..... Couple of experts (didn't search for too many) did agree with you. Learn somethin' new everyday!

Step 1: Buy crooked base
Step 2: elongate a QT stem
Step 3: smoke from a free base because the QT stem is functional yet short enough not to allow the lean to be over-pronunced
Step 3a: Set hookah down half way on a small book to negotiate the lean.

Thanks for pointing that out. I assumed it was implied.
