Just broke my brand new t/c I got from moose on here about a week ago. After smoking a large amount of weed I've been able to calm down and take pictures. The reason I'm posting on here is to ask whether I could fix it or if I should just buy another one.

Thanks for the help.

Hehehe I know about preston, I'm from SD. I'm about to send him an email now. He is about to fix a broken roor I have and turn it into an inline. I was just wondering whether or not it was worth it. Any ideas about how much it would run me?

So I took it to Preston. He fixed it up but in the process the trees did move a little bit so they're off center now. The joint is a little funky on it too because he was worried about the joint collapsing on itself when he heated it back up.


Enjoi!

Side view. The trees look normal...

Front view, trees look off center

Hey, at least its not a paper weight right? So your tree's are a little off center, life is still good man, think of it this way, you could be living in TJ, then you would have something to be worried about.

Haha I didn't mead to sound so negative in my post. The truth is I can't see a difference in performance between before and after it was fixed.

Ps. And yea, TJ would suck. Ha...
