Long story short the diffuser to my phx got jammed back into the beaker bottom. The bong still works 100% I just can't get the diffuser out. Anyone know any tricks that might get it out?

hmmm well if its stickin from weed tryin getting some rubbing alcohol in the bong and try from the outside too if u can
rubbing alcohol shouldnt hurt it, it evaporates if left alone for a l il while and you could just rince it out let it dry and u prob wont have a problem

if its not res makin it sticky idk if lubing it would help any

if u put it in the freezer the glass probly expanded and u shud prob just warm it with a hair dryer or somthing and try again

Where'd you get your phx? They don't ship to the U.S. unless it's wholesale.

Actually I picked it up and the diffuser was under a table. I lifted straight up and the diffuser got pushed hard back into the tube thing.

So no I didn't put it in the freezer and it's not sticking from bud. I'm not a small guy and I couldn't get the damn thing out.

And I got my PHX from a head shop in gainseville florida.

Is it better than a roor?

Yes, much. I have had ROOR pieces in the past and this is far better than any of them.

well if u got a butane torch lighter u can still try and soften the glass up with it, ud be surprised how hot they can get. maybe ull get it to the point where its just plyable enough to come out while ur tugging on it

all i got, sorry

soap! it will reduce friction, drop soap in with an eye dropper and hit it with water. Wiggle it and keep applying more soap, eventually you'll hear a pop and it should slip out. To get rid of suds use salt as it breaks the surface tension, more water will dissolve the salt, or use rubbing alcohol to clean it. Rinse well afterwards.

Atleast it is stuck in the bong so you can still smoke to contemplate your options....but good luck getting it unstuck.
