Skimo Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Ok so I had a weird idea lol, if I bought a base could I use my Qt stem for it? I could always add to the stem with some tubing but besides that would I have a big problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halon Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Shouldn't be a problem. I have a really cool vase that fades from dark blue on the bottom to light blue on top, and my small egyptian stem fits right into it. Besides the fact that I need about a gallon of water, it's just fine. TYLER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimo Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 Sweet. I was just looking at replacment vases and noticed they are fairly cheap, so instead of buying another Qt base I want to get a cooler looking one. I wonder if it would be cheaper to build your own hookah buying everything individually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Got any TJ Max stores in your area? Quite a few people have had success just taking their hookah's stem into a TJMax and testing it out in all the different vases, and everyone found something that worked. I would be hesitant in ordering a replacement base from online when I don't even know for sure if it would fit my stem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakemonster Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 The problem you would face is that the QT stem eclipses the mouth of the base... as far as I know.. MYA is really the only folks rinning a design like that. Traditional stems are "male" and fit inside the base. I imagine that something could be cooked up..... but it would take some "kitchen counter" engineering to make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimo Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 I dont get the male stem thing. My stem goes into the base to lol, explain with pics? And im not sure about the Tj Max thing, Ill have to look that up, thanks for the help though, I dont think Ill buy one online because of not being sure it will fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakemonster Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 right.. the downstem does go inside the mouth of the base, but the "heart" of the stem (where the purge and connection fits into) covers the outside of the mouth of the base. Traditional vases and even MYA vases besides the mini and QT are setup for stems that seat up on the inside of the base instead of covering the nouth of the vase the way the QT does.
