When DWB released the new line of percs, I had to have one. They are called the capillary system. Which is multiple small tubes fused together, rather than a single tube leading to the perc system. The interesting result is that it gives a more even air flow, so you can tip the piece up to 45 degrees and the perc still fires like its vertical. On a circ this acts as a dry diffuser.

On a shower cap these tubes become pillars, condensing flavor and forcing bubbles to pass through the smoke causing more removal of ash. There are 24 of them at about 2 inches tall. At the top, the bubbles collide and splash causing further diffusion... Just before it goes up the disk perc.

Drew used to make these with 60-70 holes, splash back was inevitable even on my 22" DWB. Now they have a design in the center surrounded with 30-40 holes this prevents Splash back. I was skeptical of this, until my first hit.

Upon lighting the piece, it  made that shower cap suction feeling followed by the gurgle synonymous with the peyote pillar. As I ripped the hit, I was amazed to watch the water violently slam into the can in a vortex motion, yet no splash back.

I packed the slide with Green crack, I gotta say the hit tasted almost as good as oil and twice as smooth.

Putting the water at just half an inch above the slits makes it absolutely dragless

The work is incredible, the onyx and slime mouth piece, the red velvet and blue velvet horns really put the piece above the rest

In my honest opinion I think the name" capillary shower cap" is a little long. I think the proper name to this would be an "Inverted Pillar".

just hit it back to back with my cousins peyote pillar and a 4-1 vote agrees this piece is smoother, I think it is because the cap cap has double the tubes. I want to show a video of both of them... but my cousin is a pussy and afraid everyone is out to get him.... He thinks swat is going to catch him because I posted this at his house lol

I always hear people say the stem/8 stem/12 is smoother than the PP.

Ya most people don't brag about how smooth their pillars are, it's more about the flavor

I've never hit a stem/12 but IMHO a stem/8 felt more airy than smoother over a PP.

Yeah, alot of people here have a personal vendetta against him, so they started arguing non-stop in an effort to attack him and get his thread closed.

I love how caring and friendly stoners are ^_^

I enjoy this capillary design more so than a pillar because its got all the same effects, but requires less glass.

Seems like a more efficient design of the pillar than the original.

Regardless of saying, people like pillars because of the flavor, that doesn't diminish the significance that this piece according to him was in fact

More smooth.

Less glass? My peyote pillar hollowfoot is smaller than these DWB tubes for sure. And the dry chamber on an SG pillar is much much bigger than these so I am sure that has to enhance the flavor more. The smoke just billows in on the peyote pillars dry chamber. Super thick

Well thats not a matter of opinion, its a simple measurement that we aren't aware of.

Whats the diameter of the DWB expansion chamber, and whats the Diameter of the PP expansion chamber.

Those aren't opinions or interpretations, and I'm glad you chose to observe it in that fashion.

I am unaware of the height of your piece and the height of this piece.

I'm saying that the pillar section in the PP is alot larger than in the DWB. Thats more glass. The height of the entire section is bigger, thats what I mean.

These aren't statements which are meant to detract from nor diminish the name of the SG PP.

They are just observations and differences between the models.
