A couple days ago, I purchased my very first bong.

I payed $100 flat. It's a simple, straight-shot bong with an ice catcher. It's about a foot and a half. Came with a diffuser downstem and a bowl piece.

Anyways this morning, my downstem broke into two pieces. Well, I thought it did at first but the glue that kept those two pieces together wore off. If that makes any sense.

Pretty much, I got gypped. My downstem is a two-piece piece of shit.

Anyways, I'm just wondering how I could glue this back.

I heard of glass glue but is it really effective? Or am I better off buying a new downstem?

Glue?

I have never seen a bong with a down stem that is "glued." In my experience they are either held in place with a rubber grommet or is glass on glass. Sounds like it is a decent piece I cant even imagine where it would be glued. I would have to see a photo to even understand what you are talking about.

You can buy a replacement stem. OR, you can llok for the old waterglass based glass glue.

Nooooo.
I'm talking about the stem itself.

It's a two-piece thing that's been glued together or something.
I'll upload a picture of it soon.

Interesting.

It may be a blessing is disguise - you can get a glass on glass diffused downstem for a reasonable price and make your rips smoother.

Take it back to the shop you brought it from and tell them to give you a new comparable for free or a deal on a better one.

shouldn't be more than $10 for a nice glass one. i wouldnt go back to that place that jipped you unless it was to voice your disapproval and demand a refund (even tho they wont give it to you if youve already smoked weed out of it). honestly 100 is kinda alot of money for a bong

Super Glue works great. I have a piece that's been glued together for years and it still works.
