Concert and Tripping. http://forum.grasscity.com/pandoras-box/501072-help-me-grasscity-concert-tripping.html Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:37:13 GMT Hey grass city, hows it been?

I'm going to see a Dark Star Orchestra concert at the Nokia Theater in NYC next Friday and I'm definitely planning on dosing at the show. However, since all my acid connects live in Oregon I'm going to have to try and pick up from some head at the show. Which I'm hoping won't be too hard, but since i haven't been to a DSO concert outside of a festival, I'm just not sure it'll be there...

Now for my dilemma: I have the opportunity to take molly tomorrow with a friend, but if i use the molly tomorrow I'll have none for the show. I don't wanna candyflip, but I'm not sure if I should save the molly for just in case I can't pick up at the show. So, I'm being a real ass and am going to ask you guys, "Should I take the molly tommorow, and expect to pick up at the show?" or should I, "Save the molly for the show, because picking up there will be hard?"

I'm sorry if this makes no sense, I'm extremely high.

Peace and Love. :smoking: ]]> IllaDead http://forum.grasscity.com/pandoras-box/501072-help-me-grasscity-concert-tripping.html Spill damage control http://forum.grasscity.com/general-indoor-growing/501071-spill-damage-control.html Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:35:45 GMT This new plant I have is about 3 -4 weeks old and someone I know spilled a little probobly a sip of beer in it will it hurt it???/ Wouldn't want my stupid friends mistake be the plants demise!! ]]> General Indoor Growing Chainsmoker420 http://forum.grasscity.com/general-indoor-growing/501071-spill-damage-control.html Helix (a.k.a. Vortex) pipe, attachments, and case review. http://forum.grasscity.com/toking-tools/501070-helix-k-vortex-pipe-attachments-case-review.html Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:35:33 GMT Hey all :D

I saw a few videos on some incredible smoke-ware that really interested me. One was the tsunami bong (which is really a replica of a Hurricane bong, which you can purchase from 'everyonedoesit.com'. Youtube video promoting the tsunami is named 'Tsunami 2.1'), and the other was the Helix pipe.

The Hurricane bong would cost me between $300-400USD, with the Helix being an even $200 for a better deal, so I opted for the Helix.

I ordered online through a link I found on a youtube video about the helix. I'll search for it again and edit it into this post if I find it.

I decided it made the most sense to order the $175 full-pipe package, and $30 for the case, so my total was $205. They didn't charge me anything for shipping, no hidden fee's whatsoever. I payed through paypal, so I knew just from logging in I had a solid chance to get my money back if I didn't recieve my product.

This put my mind at ease at first, because I never recieved any email notification that they knew I should recieve the pipe I payed for! I was a little nervous about this, since everything else I ordered in the same night had sent me a notification. I decided to give it some time before I opened a dispute, and I'm glad I did.

I ordered on Sunday that 15th of November. I recieved my product, without having to sign (not sure if I would have had to, anyway), on Friday the 20th. Free Shipping. The billing sheet info had a "thank you for ordering from us" note which was handwritten, which was really a plus to me. I respect professionalism, and I'm proud to say that Helix delivers.

Helix is based out of Texas, with most Texas smokeshops offering a Helix for (what I've seen from other posts from people regarding the Helix) around $100-150. However, if you're in my position where you don't have a quality smokeshop within a solid 200 miles, having the option to order one is really nice.

Having ordered the case as well, it all came in one box, with the pipe securely packaged in a tight cardboard box. Excellent packing, I knew just from looking at the box that everything was in one piece and likely wasn't broken.

But lets skip that and get down to the pipe itself. I would like to let you know though, that the pipe has just arrived and I haven't had much experience with it yet, however I am blown away with the piece, and this review is a reflection of my first impressions. I'll edit it in due time when I get some more experience with it.

For those who haven't watched a helix in action, I highly recommend you do. Unfortunately, I can't provide a video on this one. Basically, when you smoke the air-jets injected into the sides of the chamber swirl the smoke into a cyclone, which feeds through the empty chamber directly to your mouth, delivering a fairly smooth hit that is as fun to watch as it is to smoke. The bigger the hit, the bigger the cyclone. Even small hits look nice, with the smoke swirling steadily through with little effort on your part. A very smooth smoke.

That is the action the chamber provides, which sells individually for $100 (online.) However, I bought the whole package, which is three attachments for the pipe, A bubbler ($75 individually), a spoon ($30), and a 1-hitter ($15), as well as the 'joint holder' (which holds the attachments to the pipe, not joints to the pipe.) I'll cover the case later (although I'll let it be known here that the case is for sure worth the $30, and then some!).

As of now I've used the 1-hitter, and the spoon. I'm saving the initiation of the bubbler for a special occasion later this week (on thanksgiving break :D). The Bubbler and the Spoon both have carb's, so secure them to the pipe with the holder, and toke away. The 1-hitter you should remove from the pipe like a downstem on a bong, so keep the holder off and your hand on. Careful though! The one-hitter will heat up quickly where you put the flame, so hold it and remove it from as far back as possible. Thats just a small con, but it's something to keep in mind.

The one-hitter is surprisingly easy to load, and holds more than you would expect. As with all three attachments (if you ordered a clear pipe, like I did) you can change the angle you look at the piece, and you can see if you still have greens under what you've already smoked. It's pretty cool :rolleyes:

As for the general information I've found out about the pipe:

The whole set is made of smooth, borosilicate glass (which is very temperature resistant, which means it will last a long time even with heavy use, however I don't know what that means for drop or break durability. From what I've gathered, it's a bit tougher than standard glass, however it is by no means thick and so treat it with alot of TLC. I don't see why you wouldn't, anyway.)

It's about as long, for me, as the tip of my index finger, down to the flat of my thumb if I make a stiff L with my hand (understand I have large hands). That is from the mouthpiece to the open-end for attachments, NOT including the attachment. I would say it's a fairly large pipe, which means without the case you probably won't be carrying it around. With the case you can take it ANYWHERE.

The pipe is very wide, with the center of the chamber completely open, which allows for the airflow. There are three entirely visible punctures at the widest point of the pipe, with appear to be made by a needle. These serve their purpose of spinning the smoke, and so they are cool :p no other way to put it.

The mouthpiece is really confortable and wide and narrow.

The glass is a high quality, very smooth and shiny, yet clear as crystal. HOWEVER, I noticed that the attachments get discolored VERY quickly (after a few tokes for the spoon, and after one load for the 1-hitter), but I haven't noticed much for the pipe itself yet. That seems to be this pipes major flaw is that you'll have to clean it often to enjoy it.


As for the case:

The case is made by RYOT (ryot.com)

Mine is a deep, matte green exterior with a black interior. The outside is smooth and firm, and the inside is padded and has many straps and compartments to hold your equipment. It looks like a small guitar/cello case, with a double zipper and small handle. Included in the case was a small lock and key set, with you can lock the zippers together with! No unwanted eyes prying into the secrets of your case, without forcing their way in!

The interior of the case has two sides: 1 is dedicated to your piece, and it is spacious enough to hold, by my estimates, a 8-inch (measured with ruler) steamroller. Easily large enough to hold the Helix and spoon , with some room to spare. There is a lip to hold the mouthpiece, and two straps to lash the piece in place. The piece is completely encased in foam, protected by the firm exterior, and held by the straps. It's perfect.

The other side is just as good. It has a zipper-pouch for yoru stash (use a small baggie, anything solid is a bit tough to fit in), a space and strap for a small 4-piece grinder, a pocket for a lighter, and three flexible holding spaces for your attachments/whatever.

So go ahead and get blazed, and dont sweat about your stuff. Just remember to keep the case ready, and you can grab it on the way out the door, it will blend or fit into all your other stuff, and you can bring it out when the time is right with everything ready. Like I said, the $30 for this case is worth it and then some.



So here are the pro's and cons, as I've seen so far:

Pipe:

Pros:
-Clear, smooth, shiny glass.
- Swirls the smoke unlike any other piece. It's like smoking the future :smoking:
- has a comfortable, well-designed mouthpiece.
- Can hold the three attachments perfectly.
- The entire pipe and everything with it are entirely glass-on-glass.

Cons:
-Very wide, might be considered large by some.
- Not very mobile without the case, but with the case there is no problem.
- Might be easy to get dirty, both inside and out. Haven't smoked it enough to see yet, but I don't doubt that it will get foggy eventually. However, I forsee this as being very easy to clean due to it's design and shape.
- Has a large 'helix' logo on it. This is no problem, you can face the logo down and just insert the attachment in any direction you like.


1-hitter attachment:

Pros:
-holds more than you think, you can get multible hits of a small amount

It's your standard 1-hitter, and it's nice to have the option to smoke a little less but still get the full helix effect :D

Cons:
-Gets discolored and dirty quickly
- a bit tough to get the ash out, by my experience.
- Has no carb(duh), which means it will be a bit more technical to use, but that is how it's meant to be used anyway.

Spoon Attachment:

Pros:

- Has a flat base which it rests on evenly
- has a respectably sized bowl
- Has a carb
- Is clear, so you can look from under and see if you still have greens under the ash (which is kind of cool :p)
- It has a good, compact shape which is easily held and is comfortable to hold.
- The inside of the spoon is hollow, which lets the spoon discolor before the pipe.

Cons:

-Also discolors quickly. However, I adressed this in the last pro.
- you may feel the need to have a screen, which might be a con to some.


Bubbler attachment:

Haven't tried it yet. I will edit after I use it, however I expect only to get stoned out of my fucking mind when I smoke it. I doubt there can be any cons, with what I see just by looking at it (need I say it's very well designed?)


'joint holder':

Mines bright orange :P. You have to face it the right way to clip it on, but you'll understand if you get one. Holds on well, won't let the attachment go, and is easy to remove and fairly easy to get on, you just have to make sure the attachment is as far in as it will go before the holder attaches, which is good since then you can be sure it will stay on. Over-all, this piece is really good to have and makes the whole pipe really stoner-paranoia-proof. Smoke on, my friends.


That's it for now. Hang in there until I upload my pictures, which I will do with my edits. Check back!!! I should be editing it a few times, so keep on dropping by.

Hope this helps shed some light on a seemingly-obscure and excellent piece of glassware!

Peace and shitloads of chronic,
