First, I have no idea what some of these things are called or I think I know but I'm also second guessing myself the whole time. Also, I've never bought glass from anywhere but a local head-shop. For instance, this bong is almost 20yo. Please forgive me, if I apply incorrect nomenclature to any of the parts.
My bong's inner pipe, I think it's called a joint, broke several months back. I searched online shortly after but there were so many variables to consider that it kind of seemed overwhelming. I'm hoping there's someone within this community who has experience replacing a bongs' hardware. I have some measurements and images with the measurements included if anyone needs to see them. All of the measurements below are approximate mm -> inch conversions.
-
Depth from rubber grommet to lowest part of chamber: 115 mm, 4.5 in
-
Inner glass diameter (joint?): 14 mm, 0.5 in
-
Inner glass diameter (bowl?): 8 mm, 0.3 in
-
Diameter of lowest chamber (don't know if this is needed): 107 mm, 4.25 in
-
Diameter of bowl chamber (don't think this matters): 30 mm, 1.25 in
I would appreciate recommendations you all have for reputable glassware replacement sellers (from first-hand experience, preferably). In addition, I don't think the depth of the join needs to be that long, that's just the max depth. Thank you in advance for any suggestions, recommendations, or numbers to filter for when finding a replacement!
Until the Epstein post, I had the same question. Now, not so much.
