DizzyGuy Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Ok... Now I'm sad. I was washing my small phunnel after 1 USE... let it soak in hot water/lemon juice mixture to try to get some of the AW strawberry that was baked on off... When scrubbing, but not like really really hard, my bowl broke. Yes, a Tangiers bowl is broke so that means that he just killed a masterbating kitten... But seriously, now I'm gonna have to order another :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yashman19 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Did you drop it while cleaning it or did it just snap off? I'll have to remember to wash my medium funnel more gently in the future. Thanks for the heads up, and sorry for your loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PersianPride Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Just use some kind of inert glue? As Homer would say "its still good, its still good.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Didn't drop it, it just snapped off... Oh well, just loaded up my medium phunnel... I guess it's the perfect time to test the bigger version... And no, Persian, I don't think i'll be gluing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliforniaRose Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Bowls are suprisingly delicate. The free clay bowl that came with my hookah-shisha order broke the first time I tried to use it. Luckilly the Mod Bowl that came with an old hookah that broke on me is still fine. I really should get a second bowl incase of an accident.

smiley Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Tell who ever you ordered from that your bowl just broke. Maybe they could give you a break on your next order. We give 15% off for breakage at Smiley's. That sucks. I bet you were "what just happend". Very pretty bowl. I know we use rubbing Alchol (I think I spelled that right) to clean the glass bowls we use at smiley's. Maybe that might help in cleaning. The stuff just comes off. Good Luck Smiley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worr lord Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Never broken a bowl before.. I'd try lining the bowl with foil and scrunching up that side if you really liked it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's all I ever do. Maybe a little rub with a sponge or something. I can't believe how fantatical some of you folks are about keeping your shit clean!

worr lord Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I can't stand smoking cappuccino and tasting nothing but cherry or mint, which is why I'm nuts about cleaning my stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caramellanne Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Me too...The cleaner your stuff is, the better your next smoke will be...it will be like taking your hookahs virginity all over again...No sloppy seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASUSEAN1 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 you can clean them just by fillin up the sink and soaking them in warm water for a half hour then run water through it for a minute and dry it down. I have never had a problem breaking one and it wont smell anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyGuy Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 I soaked it in warm water/lemon juice mixture for a few hours and was just rubbin my thumb against it. Used a cloth for like 30 seconds and was just about to give up when i apparently pushed too hard. This is my first broken bowl, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caramellanne Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Weird, I would think it was a manufacturing defect. I have a standard large tangiers bowl as well and its supposed to have a "Crackle" appearance and well, it looked cool and everything was great. I had some xx apple the other night and when I took the foil off to clean it, the bowl was literally "Sweating" shisha juice out of those teeny little cracks...like little beads of shisha juice sweat...it was bizzare. I told Eric about it and he didnt seem to understand what I was talking about. I think its because I was taking a really hot bowl and putting it under water before letting it cool and its making teeny little cracks. Eric said that you can take his bowl and after a smoke stick it in cold water and it should be fine...has this happened to anyone else??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worr lord Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Never happened to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 I think it was jsut me being OCD and accidentally pressing too hard.... Oh well, I might get another bowl that'd look sexxier on my QT The Medium black to blue is uber sexy till i put the foil on... then you can just see the black...

lwieise Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I don't know a lot about how or why it happens, but certain ceramic items, if fired a certain way, will soak up water and become brittle. I think it is the more coarse clays (like the clay on the funnel) that has problems. I used to work with ceramics a lot for sculpture and learned this fact after completing an awesome piece. I soaked it for a night to get some cobalt residue off and it broke into pieces the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenWizard Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hey DizzyGuy, what are the dimensions of the small bowl? I think the one I have is actually a medium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
