Plastic Lily Pipe?

[gmrobert]

Greetings to all,

I wanted to check with everyone on where can I get hold of a plastic lily pipe. GC-Shop has it but no stock at the moment.

I used to use glass lily pipe until one day when I broke it and cut my thumb (3 stitches total). After that I told myself never too use glass again.

Anyway, I'm looking at where I can buy a plastic version. If not, maybe point me to where I can make one.

How did you break it? did you drop it or when you try to remove the hose?

I broke it when I was trying to remove the hose.

There is simple trick to remove hose from lily pipe, first you wet the hose the one at the glass end then instead of pulling, push the hose a bit. The water will seeps in and now it easy to pull

Hi Robert, do you mean try to introduce some water into the "gap" where the hose connects to the pipe?

I've seen ANS plastic lily pipe at K&K (201 Tampines)
Will swing by later to double confirm.

Hi Robert, do you mean try to introduce some water into the "gap" where the hose connects to the pipe?

yes, because after a while the hose will stick to the glass. the water will act as lubricant.
