If the opening on the base you receive is slightly too wide and your hookah stem leans to one side, you can correct this by affixing electrical tape around the hookah shaft. This is explained in further detail in our Hookah Love Blog Hookah 101 – Zen and Art of Hookah Maintenance.
If the base opening is slightly too small, we recommend wetting or applying lubricant to the base grommet and “twisting” the hookah stem into the hookah base. Boiling the rubber base grommet in hot water will soften the rubber as well so it will fit into the base more easily.
What more could you ask for? I have an Egyptian base and it fits my Egyptian hookah soooo thus this base would be a good back up. Plus you can probrably do your own paint job if you a fly chico with an air brush from LA
These bases are amazing in looks and construction! I have dropped mine several times and once it actually cracked but but only partly and not all the way through the glass. These things amaze you all the time!
