sad sad day

my 18" $250 diffused double tree perk 5mm thick ice catcher bong just broke a few hours ago and i am depressed, w/e tho i guess that means it's time for a new bong, gonna go bigger this time...
i was looking last night at the bong and I noticed a little crack at the bottom of it, then when i went to clean it today with alcohol and salt the crack just expanded when i was shaking it and then snap...
my question for you guys is why do you think it broke, my bro sais it's because the salt expanded, but i think it's from the shaking, here's a picture

heh....lol

If it was a clean break you could put the piece back together, have ur bro hold it in place and tight... then apply a heavy coat of epoxy along the crack, hold it for 5 minutes to let it set, and then use it again in like 24-48 hours...

I've fixed a few clean breaks like that.

Epoxy is the shit, make sure you get the kind where it's two different liquids that mix together to form the glue. That's the 'real' shit

learn to roll ,and Roll It UP

okay it is a clean cut so i might try that

I've also fixed bongs with epoxy. I use the shit to fix broken subwoofers too lol

Wow, talk about a serious sentimental attachment problems.... it is just a bong man
You should take this opportunity to buy a new one ... a better one .... now that you know that u like bongs.
No I am not a hater ... if my old bong would not break .... I would have never invested in a vape ..... I love anything that
initiates change .... then I improve on what I have learned !!

Ya, if you got a clean brake .... epoxy is your daddy !!

isn't epoxy a respiratory irritant? I guess if it's not being heated it doesn't matter? I duno but I used it to fix my hammer bubbler and I'm afraid to smoke out of it since the bowl/downstem is kinda close to the glue but not directly touching at all. what you guys think, paranoia or legit fear?

as long as it doesn't break up into a whole bunch of little glass shards and yours looks like thats not the case, then you can fix it with epoxy or gorilla glue.

hell, i sealed a 2 inch hole in my bong (at the beaker bottom) with fiber glass and gorilla glue.

paranoia. even so the epoxy will be on the outside of the bong and will dry.

oh and even though a little bit may be on the inside that's okay I believe. the smoke isn't touching it, just the water.

Why does he have "serious sentimental attachment problems"?

I guess him being upset about something he liked and enjoyed daily makes him nuts. He's not cutting his wrists. He may not have money to blow so breaking anything that's $250 is gonna suck.

Check out HiSi glass. There sick and strong.

broken bong just means you get to go shop for a new peice takes me forever to pick something theres too many to choose from

ya im just gonna upgrade big time so its all good
and i will check at HiSi Kodank

If you like it Fix it and buy a new piece that way you can have two.

Home Depot sells Gorilla Glue (or something like that) that is water proof and can be used successfully to piece pieces back together.....

this is what i have done instead of gluing it,View attachment 918278 i like this solution, 17 slit diffused, 8 arm tree perc, splash guard, ice cather

very nice, I like the look of inlines, but love the beaker bottom better

if you're spending anywhere within the 250 dollar range, you should get a herbalaire.

no glass to break. plus bag vaping is so much better than smoking.

the inline broke, but i got to have my glass, so here's my new set up, two tree 5 arms, custom inline ashcatcher, 22 inches
