well, goood news, bad news.
thanks for the help. that durn thing finally came apart.
I do not see how it happened, but the joints are dry! dry! dry!
I guess they stuck but how? don't make no sense.
oh the bad news is that when the downstem suddenly flew out of the bong, it chipped the female joint at the top....
damn damn ... oh well, it is only a chip, but this is a great bong, I love it so.
thank you all so much, except for you Crispy Waffle, lol. hahaha j/k j/k
For next time, if oil does not work, try tapping the joints ever so gently (really carefully) on the edge of a counter top or similar. Then try pulling them apart. This is what we do in the lab when flasks and whatnot get stuck together.

What brand glass is this. Sounds like your joints werent ground to the right specs. Ive been using ground joints for such along time an never lube the joints and Ive never had problems with sticking. It really irks me that this happens to you all the time. Do you push the joints in, I just let gravity put them in they are normally plenty tight.
I use the oil off my pimply ass face and forehead. The skin oil works great. I used to use it to seal scratches in my film stripping job years ago. Even film cleaner solvent had a hard time taking off the stuff.
Try it, it's not gross.........

I'm wondering if there is a asian supplier of ground glass joints? The quality is way down.
All the tubes I've ever owned were schott tube's and joints and they are perfect.
I use a stick of non scented chap stick to lube the joints.
I guess in this case Gross is a matter of opinion.
Personally I'm nauseous now from thinking about that.
If I found out I hit a bong lubed with pimple grease I would freak the fuck out!
The joints were dry as a bone. don't know why? they were well oiled and everything was coming apart just fine earlier in the day.
but it did chip the female joint of the bong a little bit. but it is better than not being able to clean it and refill it.
I am sorry to hear it chipped...or am I ???
I can probably give you another one ...
