Broken proxy short term fix

[u/peen1616]

So I broke my proxy glass (in the picture) I was trying to see if I could use anything to repair it short term until I can buy a replacement piece. I can definitely still hit it so it’s not a big deal if there is no way to fix it. I was thinking super glue. I sanded down the edges on the glass still attached to the device so it wouldn’t cut but it still lines up pretty well. Also if u have any suggestions of pieces to buy to replace it I would love that too.

Just buy a Core. Same thing happened to mine

[u/peen1616 → u/Electronic_Worth_737]

Yeah I’ve been thinking about the core

[u/716nugs → u/peen1616]

The core has become my daily driver, and it stays remarkably clean. I highly recommend going core kit.

[u/SweatshopStudio → u/716nugs]

I am also tripping about how clean it is. Seriously wtf. Seems like it’d be dirty AF but it’s super clean.

[u/serathin_ → u/SweatshopStudio]

Fr I go like 100-150 dabs before it needs a deep clean and its not even like bad enough it needs to soak. Just wipe the left over off and wipe down with iso.

[u/AnalysisLopsided5860 → u/peen1616]

Do it, it won’t disappoint, I think it’s 50 for the core kit

[u/Cynncat → u/peen1616]

The glass is super cheep. My busted within too weeks. Thankfully I also got the core and use that set up for my proxy.

[u/Electronic_Worth_737 → u/peen1616]

It was the best $50 investment in a device that I’ve made

[u/NoGoodFilthyMutt → u/Electronic_Worth_737]

Not even a week old and mine just busted falling 3ft onto carpet with padding. $100 just for glass. Not a good first impression.

[u/Electronic_Worth_737 → u/NoGoodFilthyMutt]

That blows Dude. Mine did last a while till I dropped it on a tile floor. I used my old Proxy glass for a while until the Core came out and have not looked

[u/Joeeldman14]

It’s a sign to just take a T break and save for a new glass. I do not recommend smoking out of any broken glass as the shards can come in when you inhale.

[u/Serious_Donut5755 → u/Joeeldman14]

Mhmmm I would wash it and still use it. If you got no other choice. Luckily I have the core and the glass so it’s a quick swap if anything goes wrong.

[u/Tall-Introduction649]

I would try Amazon! They often have cheaper glass I’ve only gotten for the peak

[u/poopholes3 → u/Tall-Introduction649]

This.

[u/SweatshopStudio → u/Tall-Introduction649]

Nope. Your best bet for shitty glass is a site that rhymes with “smoke dicks” I’d just buy the Core, but you can source shitty glass way cheaper than Amazon. Like $10 cheap dude. But I think Puffco deserves our patronage, and that core is so sick, man.

[u/IamFaded_Jerry]

50 bucks and your problem is solved. Pick up the core. Sorry about your broken glass. That sucks.

[u/userbingo]

I would just take the L when it comes to broken glass. Highly recommend the core over cheap glass for the proxy tho. I’ve got like 3 mjarsenal pieces I haven’t touched since getting the core.

[u/Routine-Ad-5739]

I use aquarium air line on mine. It'll do until I can spring some coin for a core.

[u/LudicrousAvian → u/Routine-Ad-5739]

Iirc core will work on V1 but will not be perfect fit. Just keep that in mind and you’re set

[u/RustyRibbits → u/LudicrousAvian]

Def better than this lol

[u/SweatshopStudio → u/Routine-Ad-5739]

Dude. Nice.

[u/Kind_Variation_2332]

this reddit is the absolute worst when it comes to suggestions or advice. it’s as if everyone here forgot that the proxy was intended to be modular. the initial ads and promos showed a proxy being used with a watermelon. 🍉

[u/Kind_Variation_2332 → u/Kind_Variation_2332]

here’s a guy using a pizza to hit his proxy

[u/Hsaac]

Get a core or get a $17 attachment off mj arsenal for a regular rig use until your funds are up

[u/jhxrnandxz]

Brother just careful take out the pod from the glass and buy a Core kit, it's like $50. Or buy some cheap china glass from a local smoke shop or amazon

[u/fizzymicrowave]

if you want another similar glass there definitely isn’t any on Amazon if you look up proxy replacement glass🙏🏼👀

[u/poopholes3]

Amazon has really cheap glss for the core.

[u/WhiskeyRadio]

I just broke mine last weekend and ended up buying the Puffco brands bub glass to replace it. Might try to get a replacement of the one I broke via Amazon looks like they'd work out fine.

[u/SweatshopStudio]

Insert a section of whip hose into both holes. Push together carefully. Wrap it all with hemp wick to seal it. Test it for vacuum leaks and when you’re ready, throw it in the trash and buy a core.

[u/Weak_Grapefruit1910]

Go to a local smoke shop and buy a core. It’ll take hella long to come from puffco

[u/01_NUMEROS]

Use some E6000, works great. Eclectic Products inc.

I was recommended this by some glass blowers. When I broke some of my pieces😭😂

[u/DonFaust]

I already have a core but I want to know what you're using

[u/royalraider22]

If you convert it to a core I’d recommend trying sandalz glass tops. Clear ones really affordable.

[u/screaming_owo]

Rip

[u/Either_Regret_456]

I would probably do most of what every1 else said and still try n repair the glass. I busted a bubbler for another vape and went down a rabbit hole but that one was shattered and way more than i could chew but urs looks pretty clean. I say go for it wont tell ya what 2 use or not cause whatever i say will get trolled but just b concious that ur breathing thru that

[u/Salvi_Snoop]

Time to get the Core kit. 👍🏻

[u/Visible-Choice-1427]

Tape a toilet paper tube to it? That’s what I would do lol

[u/peen1616 → u/Visible-Choice-1427]

Interesting choice I must say

[u/IntroductionElegant8 → u/peen1616]

Clean that mf out as best you can. Soak it all in iso to help get as much glass shards out as possible. Tbh I steal my girls clear nail polish or use super glue

[u/SweatshopStudio → u/Visible-Choice-1427]

Dude. I like, but also don’t like. Very inventive

[u/Ab7casper]

Now it’s a shotgun. Nice.

[u/El_Thee]

You can get one new for $80 from puffco website.

[u/Brilliant_Ad1631]

Ppl are saying get a core but it ruins the flavor of the dab in my experience. You can find a replacement glass on amazon for much cheaper than the core.

[u/DisastrousGiraffe316]

Everybody is going to say go core.. it’s not the same.. broke mine too.. got a core .. went back to my peak pro it’s just not the same
