My bong broke! :(

Had some questions that you guys might have answers to.
1) Bought a bong for $200 today. Got it home and filled it up with water, and picked it up and it fucking broke in half. Didn't do anything to it. Should I try bringing it back or are they gonna tell me to fuck off? Didn't even get to use it.
2) Would a courteous mix of krazy glue and duct tape possibly repair it? It snapped half way down the neck I guess, pretty cleanly in half. Cut the fuck out of my thumb too.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Unless I haven't smoked out of it at all? Now I'm confused. I think you're thinking of epoxy, which is a good idea.

if you haven't smoked out of it all I would take it back. If its a clean break they might even be able to repair it if they wont take it back.
Know that feel though, my 350 dollar bong was brought on a camping trip and I broke the perk cuz I was really high on some acid and tripped over it

You should post some pics, I blow glass and might be able to tell you if it was shoddy work . . . epoxy works the best for glass, the kind where you mix 2 diff compounds together right before you use it

It's not entirely clean. Kind of has a notch to it. It's a crappy little smoke shop, they can't fix it.
One time I was smoking with a bunch of friends behind an arcade and the cops rolled up. I was holding my friends brand new bong. It was like a 3 footer, pretty big. I grabbed it (like a responsible friend) and sprinted through the hole in the fence through the parking lot. I was paranoid as hell and hid behind a bunch of cars (as everyone in the parking lot could see me) and ended up sitting it down too 'hard' behind a car and the stem broke. He wouldn't talk to me for like 2 months, and I said listen asshole, anyone else would have just left it for the cop!

I'll tell you right now it was shoddy work. $160 or so (before taxes) for a triple perc with an ice catcher. It 'looks' really nice but you can tell it's shit. My first instinct was to leave it and get a better one (the perc's were all at weird angles and stuff, not totally vertical/flush with eachother) but I liked the look so I ignored the obvious shoddiness. You think the epoxy will work for bongs?

Make sure the bong doesn't break off in the bung-hole.

I'm gonna put on a tie and try my hardest, minus the tie. It's run by a Pakistani family or something but I go in there a lot so hopefully they reason with me. Otherwise I'm off to find some apozy! If I was in there position I'd probably tell me to fuck off thinking I was a dumb stoner who broke it, but whatever. Hopefully it works.

I'd just take it back to them and say, "I was about to use this water pipe and it broke simply from picking it up after I put water in it."
Then see what the guy says.
He hopefully will refund you.

i dont see how that kind of a break is even possible other than it being shoddy. there was proly some air bubbles in numbers accumulated in that one area that compromised the strength and hence when you added weight to it and picked it up it just snapped. is it any thinner per chance in that one area maybe?
i couldnt even fathom how, by your fault, you could possibly knock into that, drop it, and the like, to create such a clean circular cut like that. id go as far to say, youve got physics on your side!
id definitly take it back and explain myself. cant hurt.
--------------------
Big Gulps! Alright! Well, See ya later! And if i claim to be a wise man, well, it surely means that i dont know!
