when my friends brother got pissed once, he threw down a stone pipe, and broke it in half, clean break. he just used duct tape, and its still used to this day, but since it broke i got my own, but ive smoked from the broken one after it was duct taped and it still hit like a beast. just try not to burn the duct tape and you should be good. and for a quick fix for a trip, i would suggest just trying to keep it together, no sense in ordering a new one if you dont feel you should.
