well i guess you better tell that to all the novelty stores in my area, there are bongs of every shape and slide size, this isnt brand name stuff its different stores with different suppliers, my slide is approx a mm to big for the hole in my bong, and its not oversize, just cheap joke shop run of the mill bong parts.

i would go to high times and spend 150 on a bong but i would rather buy cheap peices that run about 30 bucks because then when it inevitably breaks its not a huge tradgety.

my bong was 40$ canadian, its 20" 14.5mm gong 3.5mm thick glass the slide it came with fits very well although the female joint DOES wobble a bit(doesnt affect the tightness of the seal though(and i thought it would). I also once had an 8" GonG bong i got for 20$ in a case, im sure you're aware of the kind i am talking about, those cheapies imported from china, it also has a 14.5mm slide and its slide fits mine perfectly. In fact, i once found out, that a beaker at a surplus store that was selling for 4$ had a GonG seal top, and that plug was 14.5 mm to.

Thats not to say it cant happen,i just havnt run into it, but your cases are the first ive ever heard of with this problem that the slide is a LITTLE too big for female. Keep in mind though, id tend to think that the BOTTOM of a 18.8mm slide wouldn't be much bigger than the TOP of a 14.5mm female, could this explain the phenomena possibly?

Anyway, Id email EDIT about it, they're nice guys and will prolly help you out, send you out a proper one or something.

I just ordered a screen from there, it should fit. Once i get that i'll use the original slide and put it in water. Until then i'm just taking dry hits but i'm loving it, it's not harsh at all. I like how this bong has a slide and a carb.

ahhhhhhhh so it is like my bong with a massive hole at the bottom of the slide! if you wanna smoke it before
go toss a beer bottle, and pick a chunk that fits in the bottom best, pack, and smoke away! just be safe, and dont toss the beer bottle AT anyone.

Well i got my slides and it bubbles now :D The only thing is i had to hold my lighter quite far away so the hash would light. Maybe just coz its hash instead of bud. If i held the lighter closer the flame would just go through and then go out. It was weird but it works now so i'm happy.

tahts just because the bowl is large. Bongs like this generate ALOT of suction, too much suction for the lighter. But as i can see you learned to jsut hold the lighter further away. And thats what you do. In my experience, if it has a large, steep walled bowl, you gotta hodl the lighter burther away. If the bowl is more like the usual shape, you can get the lighter deeper without it being sucked out.

ENJOY THAT THING! bust a lung or somethin!

I was going to get a ROOR but then i came to my senses and realized nearly 230$ is just to much for a bong.

If anyone can show a really good bong for under 115$ i will love you.

"Thank Ganja"

Your welcome

a good bong for under 150? showmeglass.com, pick out an EHLE, quality glass on glass bongs, not as good as ROOR, but still an exessivly well smoking piece!

Glad you got a nice bong. Have fun with it:bonghit:
