    I believe I have solved what is known as either "Bong Mouth" or "Resin Lips"

    Over the years, my lips inched further and further into the bong as I became more and more comfortable with the action. Years in, my entire lip surface area was being jammed into the top opening. I looked somewhat like a fish when I would do the same movement in the mirror. About two months ago...

    Resin Lips

    I realize I'm a bit late to this discussion, but this has been happening to me lately too. I've read that it may be that I'm taking too long to inhale a large hit and so the resin has the time to build up on my lips. I've also read that it's because of massive hits. Regarding the post above...

    Fascinating! Absolutely. I'm going to go purchase a new bong today as Hoss doesn't seem too responsive to my replacement requests. I'll look for the wax and I'll definitely keep Vaseline in mind for costs and ease. Thanks again.

    My Moisture Lock Nightmare

    Hmm, interesting, very. Thank you for the tip. Do you have any other suggestions? I've gotten a couple in the thread earlier too, Mobius Toro or Sovereignty. I've actually managed to hear back from someone at Hoss named "Tyler". That took a week. We'll see what happens, but I'm not...

    My Moisture Lock Nightmare

    Hey, yeah, it does. However, since the downstem was stuck in the joint, the downstem would also expand as I heated up the outer joint. I've read about jamming crushed ice down the downstem and pouring boiling water on the outside, but when I tried it, it didn't work. A danger with using hot...

    Hey, thanks for the advice. Regarding the bong, I'm completely sure it was not going to come apart. Even now, the two pieces are fused together, one inside the other. It's smashed in half, but the downstem tip is still cemented inside the outer joint. I tried everything dude, trust me.

    Hindsight is 20/20... the diamond bit sounds like a good idea, or one for ceramic. Unfortunately, I did not do that and now the bong is broken. I really hope Hoss cuts me a break and has good customer service, or I'll just get a different label next time.

    My Moisture Lock Nightmare

    Hello, I love my bong. It is a Hoss A Y042 – A, I believe. I purchased it in May and have been using it happily every day. A few months ago, my downstem all of a sudden refused to be pulled out anymore. I inspected the glass joints and realized that it was moisture lock. I tried many...
