OH MY GOD!..HE MENTIONED NUBBIN!..I LOVE THAT GUY!....I'd like to thank Namron for giving me the strength to be myself when nobody else believed in me...and I'd like to thank RMJL for being crazy and crying about everything which in turn gives me a chance to pick on her even more....i love you guys
The main things I look for in a piece are:
1- Thickness....Thin is not always bad, but if you constantly turn retarded once you've been smoking, you may not want a piece that shatters easily.
2-bowl....I only buy pieces with HUGE bowls, I like em big. Although the size of the hole in the bowl is very important too....Too small, and the size of the bowl is pointless, too big and you get a lungfull of nug.
3- Carb.....unless its just a small glass one hitter, then it best be havin' a nice sized carb in comparison to the piece. The guy I buy from right now makes the perfect size carbs, they can seriousely clear the chamber with such stoned ease that I get goose pimples as I type this.. people seem to not care about carbs much, but if its too small for the piece its on, then Its kind of pointless.
4- chamber size....even though it may just be a small spoon or other piece, that doesnt mean it cant have a nice fat chamber, and I like pieces that arent just a straight line from the bowl to the mouth piece..I like swirls, turns etc. they REALLY help keep out any pieces that may slip through the bowl..and since most glass pieces dont use screens, the turns and swirls are my last line of defense from a red hot burning ash....
5-...and last but DEFINATELY not least.....looks.....if the piece is the coolest damn thing on earth, but it has no interesting or attractive design and its a baby shit green, then I wont buy it...every one of my pieces that Ive bought, all have their own look, which in turn gives them a personality. And who can stand smoking out of a piece with no personality?...I know I can't....crushed soda cans are fine for a while...but once you move on to the art of glasswork, its nice to have a piece that matches/fits/compliments your personality.
thats just MHO.....
peace
