shishboarder Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Today, was a very sad day for me, as i was picking up the base of my mya acrylic (with water in it) I accidently picked if up by the little ring on the top, failing to realize that this was not actually a part of the base but rather a seperate piece that fits on, so, low and behold, it comes apart and my base falls to the ground, *CRACK*, and just my luck the base cracks and a chunk is chipped out. I was thinking super glue but that prolley wouldnt form an airtight seal because there is a large crack in it as well as a missing chunk.So, should i just chalk it up to bad karma and go buy a new base, or do you think mya would replace the broken base even though i didnt purchase it online. I just need some suggestions. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shishboarder Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 well i bought from a cigar shoppe and they only sell whole hookahs not parts, so I can't go there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherkk Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 well, to be honest if you got superthin superglue from say a hobbytown or zap a gap brand you would probably form and airtight seal... from my experience superglue is seriously weakened by water and would probably loose it soon after fixing it. epoxy 2 part is the only way to go or get plumbers glue from home depot or lowes. let is sit about 24 hours and you should be as air tigh as a baby's butt.

Afortunado Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 we always try middle-eastern shops for hookah parts.for instance our tallest hookah we use for groups came initially with only a 2 hose stem. we were able tp purchase a nice three hose stem to replace the old stem for only $20, and as a bonus it added an inch to the hookah's heigth. places like this here in Oklahoma often carry, or are willing to sell, hookah parts and not the whole assembly.Try this out and see what you may find.

Scalliwag Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 draw a chalkline around the body because unfortunately she's a goner. I did one the same way and it make me sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LB] Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 ive tried to repair my vases twice and both were miserable failures. of course i didnt use epoxy, but i used duct tape and hot glue. wouldnt recommend either of them. Your better off saving time and money by just buying a new vase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 You may contact Mya and see if you can order just the vase. They are not that expensive and it will just save you time and agrivation.I am pretty sure you can pick up an acrylic base for a reasonable price.

Sonthert Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 You could buy them at Hookah Company, Hookah Kings, Social Smoke, MN Hookah, etc. Not only Mya jars but other jars, maybe a cheap Egyptian is what you really want...who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
