Lismore Crystal-Cut Glass Hookah Base – 45 mm plug-in fit

Lismore-style cut glass hookah base — 25 cm height, heavy 2 kg build for rock-steady sessions

What it is, why it helps, how it works. This is a replacement glass base for plug-in hookahs. The water in the base cools and filters smoke as you draw; the weight keeps your setup planted; the 45 mm plug-in neck (with the right grommet) gives you an airtight seal for smooth pulls. If your old base is cracked, wobbly, or hard to seal, swapping to this thick, crystal-cut base restores stability and clarity to every session.

What sets it apart

• Planted feel from a ~2 kg glass body that resists tip-overs during hose pulls.
• Straightforward seal using a 45 mm plug-in neck; pair with our 45 mm base grommet for a snug fit.
• Clean, bright look from Lismore-style crystal cutting that catches light without affecting water capacity.
• Compact footprint — 25 cm tall × ~15 cm base — fits coffee tables and tight lounge setups.
• Universally handy for popular Russian stems (e.g., Alpha, VZ) that use plug-in bases; see our Alpha Hookah collection.

Fit & compatibility

Designed for plug-in stems that use a 45 mm base opening (commonly seen on modern Russian-style hookahs). Use with a large/base-size grommet for an airtight seal. If unsure, measure your stem’s base spigot and choose our 45 mm base grommet.

How to dial it in

• Water level: cover the diffuser by 10–15 mm for an easy draw and clean purge.
• Seal check: seat the grommet fully, then twist the stem slightly as you insert to eliminate micro-leaks.
• Placement: set on a flat, non-slip surface; the weight does the rest.

Craft & performance

• Thick, crystal-cut glass steadies the rig and dampens hose tugs.
• Broad base diameter balances compact height for a low centre of gravity.
• Clear walls make it easy to monitor water clarity and bubble action.

Care & upkeep

• Rinse after sessions; use mild soap and a soft bottle brush.
• Avoid thermal shock: let hot water cool before adding cold, and vice-versa.
• Dry upside-down to prevent water spots.
