Take it back and buy a real bong.  If you're willing to spend $200 spend a little more and get something actually nice.

That bong he posted is not nice.

Have a look at the site I linked.  For $175-250 you can get something really nice.

sorry dude i worked at a head shop for a while.


you buy a piece of glass (a fragile material already) and you break it...  people came in all the time saying the glass was shoddy.  but yet they decided to buy it in the first place.



your chances are slim OP

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.




I would tend to agree, that kind of break isn't explainable by normal means, if you just plain broke it, it wouldn't break like that most likely, it would shatter.

but he is up against some damn foreigners :crankey:

Not always true at least in my area. I blow glass and sell to all of the local shops regularly. If at any time a piece broke due to a defect in the piece they would call the blower and have him replace it then replace it for the customer.

Except in my area people are big on local glass and that piece likely came from india or china. There are a lot of middle eastern shop owners and they are notorious for buying imported glass and also for being dicks. Though there are some really cool ones too

Looking at that piece it is way obvious to me that it broke reight at the seal where the perc is because it was not properly melted together at that spot.

It is basically 2 pieces, they will melt the perc on, then slide the other tube over it and seal it on, it did not get sealed properly

Being that they are middle eastern I would say you have a 50/50 chance, but as a glassblower it is very clear what happened, and is something that cannot be repaired

Not really, it was done on a lathe and there is really no way to set it back up on the lathe once the piece is finished, and repairs with percs involved do not go well very often at all

I'll sell you my bong OP if you want.
I'm tryna get rid of it.
It's pretty nice... PM me if you're interested.
I actually got a couple for sale.
That's assuming you still want a bong and can afford another one.

Right, LG. I agree it is probably not a local piece.

And that it is not OP's fault that it broke, because of the spot the crack formed.

but given all the info including the nationality of the store owners I think you hit the nail on the head

A lot of shops that sell bongs are just the cheap thin and poorly designed .. Though if you know where the deals are online you could get a 7mm dual perk (honey comb to circ) for a little more than 30 dollars, that would probably be better made than your average shit head low quality glass piece, made by some squishy eyed piece of shit. Its funny these fuzzy little shit heads have gull for charging so much for such shit.


Smoking is dumb anyway.


Get a Cloud Evo or a Sublimator and get out of this dirty pathetic method of consumption.  Smoking is for Neanderthals


Take this piece of shit bong back to the shop, anyone could tell it was due to manufacturers error.

Try to get your money back, 200 dollars for something that is literally worth around 20 bucks is what you bought.

Probably worth closer to $80, but yeah, it's definitely a huge rip off.

Did you inspect it for cracks at all before buying it?

I can't tell you how many times I've been looking at pieces for sale and even when I was about to buy it, I find a crack in the glass that the shop was never going to mention to me or Ill find a chunk of it missing like they for sure dropped it then put back in the case.

What is a squishy eyed piece of shit lol?

And also the "nice" bongs you are getting for really cheap are probably made by some 8 year old indian/chinese kid chained to a bench (exaggeration)

You have obviously never blown glass before because pieces like that take a lot of work/time/money to produce and there are not any bongs with percs worth 20 dollars

By they way, smoking is awesome, feels good

Vaping is for pussies with no testicles

Yea I would try to bring that shit back.  Bad craftsmanship.  If they refused to give you money or another piece I would accidentally "drop it" on the floor and walk out.  A while back I bought a roor perc that did the same thing before I smoked out of it, some glassblowers said it wasn't properly annealed.  The smoke shop made good on it though.
