Buying chipped glass?

At a shop the other day i found a nice thick bowl for half off because it had a chip in the glass. The chip was not bad and didn't make a hole in the glass. Will a chip effect a bowl? Will it get larger over time?

I'd rather spend my money on dank than fancy smoking devices...

Reppin' the $10 piece, homemade bong and homemade waterfall bong.

Yeah you can get some really tight deals on chipped glass depending on the shop. For example I recently picked up a sherlock from my local shop that had a very small hairline crack in the top of the bowl, and it got marked down to $15 from $33 originally just for that.

That I would careful of. If I read you right, the crack is in the bowl, and applying all the heat to an already cracked area can't be good...

dude go for it, the chip isnt gonna affect the functionality.
my headshop had like 5 roors that had defects, and they just threw them in the "trash". i wish i could have gotten one of those chipped roors.
But yea its definately a great buy since hes gonna give you a discount on it.
I just picked up a cheap little bubbler, It has a rubber stopper ontop of a small jar, and it has like 2 small blue tubes for the smoke to go thru. its pretty sick for $7 if you ask me.

My brief research tells me that heat can both cause and worsen cracks in glass, and my personal experience (of a bowl cracking after I had the flame on it too long) seems to agree. Do tell why you disagree...

The chip might not affect the functionality of the bowl, however the bowl will be that much more likely to get damaged. Is it worth it to pay half off for a bowl that breaks in a week? You might as well have paid full price for one with no chip and have it last a lot longer.

This being said I haven't seen the bowl you're thinking of getting, so I don't know how chipped it is or anything. If it looks like it could potentially spread into a deep crack or something I wouldnt get it.

I bought a bowl once from a convenience store and when I got it there was a small crack in it...didn't go deep or anything, I thought nothing of it. Then after using it it got knocked over, and would have been fine if it didn't have that small hairline fracture in it...but it broke in half cleanly where it was.
