Broken Bong

[littlebookofcalm]

Theres something up with my little blue acrylic bong :( whenever I try and use it the weed ends up soaking. I think the seals fucked or something, I've tried messing about with water levels and everything. It's worked fine before, I've had it a year and used it loads (can't roll for shit :( ). Anyone got any idea if I can fix it? Got a lot of history with that little guy, don't want to get rid of him.

I don't see how the weed is getting soaked if you're only sucking in air. Try testing it with you're finger, to see how much suction their is. I can't say anything enless their are pics.

Suction's low but still enough to take a decent hit off. Stuck a piece of paper in and sucked, started getting a bit damp after a few times. You can see water leaking out around the stem.

ah. Why not just buy a new one. Are you old enough? Indulge and get a new acrylic if you're clumbsy. Or what I would get a decent sized glass one.

I can get a new one, but they're a bit expensive :( Was hoping I could fix it, but I know it's probably not gonna work. Ah well, might have to go shopping this weekend.

post a picture of it, then we might get a better idea of what the problem is.

I'll take one later, but I dunno if it's that obvious whats up by looking at it.

It odviously wasnt very expensive if it alread leaking. Either that or you got ripped bro how long you had it? My friend got a acrylic and it worked for about 2 months now it just leaks every where ($12).

wow, ya'll got ripped off. my 2nd piece ever was a mini acrylic bong, and I still have it (like 2 years later), still use it, and it even forgave me after I drilled a hole in the bottom, rigged a LED into the hole so I had a glowing bong, then decided it wasnt worth it, removed it, patched the hole in the bottom with glue. sure, the glue made it a bit wobbly (my bong spillage has increased like 50%) and unbalanced, but it is so damn forgiving.

but yea, the weed should not get wet. it is in a bowl, above water level, and you are sucking through it, meaning the air is even pushing the water further away from the weed. you must have some backsplash or somthing. try this experiment... start off with the water just barely covering the bottom of the stem(should be like 1/8 of an inch) and take a hit. keep increasng water level until you notice the weed is getting moistened. the highest level without water splashign on the weed is the ammount you can use safely.
