GONG no longer "gripping"

[sickmanfraud]

Is there anything I can do If a WPA no longer grips when I try t use it on an ash catcher? The GONG connection used to work between these two pieces of glass.

Care to expound on what you mean by saying it "no longer grips"?
I'm having a hard time picturing in my head what you could even be talking about.

Sorry, I mean is, that when I insert the male end into the female end the connection can instantly come apart, it is not sealed.

Not airtight unless the weight of the vape can make it airtight??

All I can say is that most GonG connections are not completely airtight.
Also, I'm not sure what the problem is with them being instantly being able to come apart. I don't want my glass connections to stick at all. I even sometimes use beeswax on my glass connections to make sure that they ALWAYS instantly come apart instantly and easily. Drops and breaks happen when the glass sticks.

Keck clips is what you may search for

You can usually make them bind by adding downward pressure at the same time as twisting very slightly. It's not as secure as a Keck clip though.

What size keck clip can you use to fit a 10/14/18 WPA (Tinymight) into a 14mm joint?

A keck clip works great with the TM 14mm WPA. I happen to have a few of the multi-size WPA and some are not fitting (too loose),

If it's the multi joint that you are using that would probably explain the issue... Especially the 14 mm connections with those is typically awful in my experience

It should be airtight anyway- have you checked it?

Teflon tape will fix such issues usually but why do you want it to grip?

Silicone bands, if you want them to just stay attached. If the joints are leaking, that is another whole can of leaks.
