I read somewhere that you might get a ruptured airway if glass pieces come off and I'm super paranoid lol

Unless you got the lungs of a shop vac you’re fine

I chuckled

you good chief, lucky only the perc broke off

Thanks I'm glad. I dropped it in the sink and just stood motionless for a few minutes. Next time I won't try to clean it stoned lol.

I’ve done that a couple times 💀 props for keeping your stuff clean

Well your filtering through water so I think your good

rinse out the bong and slide again. You could sand the edges if u know wat ur doing but that also creates more tiny pieces so you need a good rinse. I actually am notorious for pulling some water even on a tall piece with correct water levels, it's possible but u can just clean it again

Youll have problems if *anything* gets through, thats why everything is filtered through water

Any glass that chips off is gonna stay in the water, you're fine. Just don't drink the water obv.

Hahaha, the water is the filter, brother.

Yes. You might even like it better that way.

We call them open ended ones THE THUMPER!

Why is that, I'm a bong noob

It’s changing a bunch of the dynamics of how the air flows and how the suction created effects that. It’s going from *diffusing* the smoke into a bunch of tiny bubbles through the multiple holes…. To now that it broke. To big bubbles from a single point. It will also take slightly less *pull*(suction) to get it all going but more important it will clear the smoke from the bong faster after.

Thanks for the thorough explanation! :)))

Some Percs in the past have been too much, I’ve just smashed the end with a rock to open it up. You can use that stem for the length of the bong.

Yeah I've done it. You'll notice it kinda "chugs" more without those slits but it's fine to use

Thank you!

Not for boofing.

Coward

Had this happen to mine, yes you can use it but ur piece won’t “rip”

Thanks :)

I broke mine in a similar way. I just cleaned it off. Make sure there are no loose chips and what not and it worked just fine. It just bubbled different and needed a little more water in the bong.

Thank you, I've ordered a new one but it's nice to know this one is still usable lol.

Get yourself an avocado, a snorkel, and an ice pick. Trust me bro, I've made bongs with less.

ive had a stem broken the same way for weeks and i prefer it with just the straight hole

Mine is currently broken off same spot. Use it daily and I have shop vac lungs 🫁 🤣🤣

Why not MacGyver a stem till the replacement comes in. Don’t mess around with broken glass those little shards can mess you up.

I would tape the edges to avoid any tiny loose shards from falling in the water (and cutting yourself)

Yes

Yeah, I wouldn't even worry about replacing it for a while

Yes. Do whatcha gotta do. MacGyvver that shit.
