I bought a hurricane not too long ago and its probably the best purchase ive ever made. The glass is incredibly strong and theres even videos online of people throwing and kicking them around with no problem. Personally i'm a little too scared of what could happen to try it, but it did get knocked off a counter onto the wood floor, landed in the worst possible position, and all that broke was the downstem and bowl but since it came with 2 downstems the only thing that had to be replaced was the bowl. As far as the swirling smoke goes it works very well. The one i picked up is the dti 600 goldeneye and after only a few uses the entire piece starts changing colors and you can see tar starting to build up in the jets.

My only complaint is the piece itself isnt as big as i expected and if i could go back i would probably shoot for the 750 since you can get a clear one that is essentially the same price as the gold one i picked up. Also, i've noticed i get smoother hits once the piece is a little dirty. A hit from the hurricane when it's clean generally leads to me coughing my lungs up for about 15 minutes, but after a little build up its the smoothest hit ive ever had.

The carb really isnt a problem at all and without it i dont think the hurricane would work quite as well. After you take your finger off of it all the smoke in the piece shoots into your lungs at once and its quite a surprise the first time you hit it and none of my other pieces even come close to the amount of smoke i can take in on one hit from it. If you have the money its a worthwhile purcahse. I've never personally hit a roor but my friend that has says the hurricane is the way to go.
