animalchin Reviewed by animalchin on 10-17-2006. glass on glass bowl and stem are stuck i have a roor with the stem and then a seperate bowl piece, glass on glass. i keep the bowl in the stem and keep them in a sock for storage. i was dropping it out of the sock the other day and it missed my hand and hit the ground. it landed on the top of the bowl, wedging the bowl into the stem. it is stuck and i cant turn the bowl or pull it out. any ideas on how to seperate them?

ok i put it in the freezer for some time and then poured melted butter around the top of the stem hoping it could drip in. i couldnt get them apart so mabe over time the butter will drip in there....

i REALLY doubt it will...

mom never taught you hwo to get a jar unstuck? hold under hot waterfor a couple seconds, try and get the water on the stem mroe than the bowl, that should let it expand a bit.

i put the faucet on the hottest setting and let it go on just the stem, right where the bowl is stuck. still cant get the fucker out

Have you tried making really soapy water, submerging the piece in it, then trying to pull them apart that way? Maybe gently swish the water around to penetrate it. Or if you really want to be brave, get some penetrating lubricant like White Lube or WD-40. But please, please... clean well after either of these

Wow dude, you got that shit really stuck. Wish I could give you some more advice.

Your lucky they are Roor parts or you likely would have broken them in an atempt to seperate them, I once had a stem stuck in a bong, I used non toxic kitchen lube that I got from the gas station that I used to work at, it worked like a charm, the trick is getting the lube in between the two parts, which I can see is your problem. I cant think of anything else other than trying to put some pressure on it to loosen it up, just be careful it being glass and all!
Good Luck

yea i think its pretty fucking stuck. before i dropped it, it would get stuck occasionally and youd have to twist it a bit and pull. people would freak out when hitting it hahah. im a senior in high school so hopefully i can hold on to the bong until college and if i do, and its legit in college, ill get a diffuser and nice bowl. i like to pull out the stem so its all gooddd

I know this is an old thread, but i had my roor sitting on my floor and dropped a lighter, and somehow the lighter bounced off the bowl on its way down and now my bowl is stuck in the stem. The problem is with my bong, it isn't working now becuase I had to glue the stem into the bong from a previous accident. Hot water, personal lubricant, and butter haven't gotten me far. I can't seem to get the lube between the stem and bowl, any new hints?

[animalchin]

hopefully someone will see this and know something haha. luckily mine works straightttt still. im waiting for a kid to break a stem/bowl and sell them my 2 in 1 for like 40 and get a diffuser and new bowl.
