Down-stem Stuck! help!

[slipknotpsycho]

how the hell are all you stoners always just managing to drop a remote on it and wedge it in there? that's like the 10th time i've heard that same story lmao....

Wear thick leather work gloves and use a little umph. If it breaks oh well you can just crack the rest out and replace it. If not great. BE CAREFUL...stitches suck.

lmao.. about a month ago iwas washing dishes and a glass i had my hand in, broke into two peices... cut the living hell out of my finger..

i've also broken a downstem while trying to take it out.... luckily (very luckily) i didn't cut myself... it had just started to cut into my finger when i reacted and stopped squeezing....

basicly tho, all you can really do (if you'v etried everything) is just use alot of force and hope for the best... obviously, working it gently isn't working.

grrr

good advice on the gloves, where were you a few hours ago?!, my hand is all sore and a bit swollen from all the twisting now. Anyway.

It's still stuck, I have it upside-down soaking in rubbing alcohol now and am poking around the edge of the downstem with a toothpick soaked in alcohol from time to time.... I'm just gonna let it soak overnight. It's all balanced with a mound of towels so it can't tip over and break or anything.

I'm still trying not to use any kind of breaking force, just cause as of right now its still use-able. And getting a replacement downstem takes the kind of effort that involves driving somewhere and i'm feeling lazy.

Here's a pic of my baby when it was brand new if anyone cares:http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...g?t=1196592905

thats some dirt bong water lol.

it's not dirty bong water. that bong was brand new, thats the day i bought it. never been used. doesnt even have water in it. thats just the way it is colored. i like it damnit

I still haven't gotten it unstuck Nothing is working. I gave up on messing with it for now, I wanted to smoke...I missed my bong... lol. It's stuck pretty damn good. I have the leather gloves sitting out here now and i just put them on and start twisting at it from time to time. I bet its gonna take another whack from the remote to unstick. Yeah, I'll keep you guys posted as to if it eventually breaks or unsticks
