Meet El Guapo

Discussion in 'Bongs, Dab Rigs, Bubblers, Water Pipes' started by djdasher, Jul 26, 2014.

  1. Say hello to my first "big" bong.
     
    The bong is a heavy glass piece with an eight arm perc.  It's about 18" tall. No name on the piece, but it appears to be good quality.  I paid $100.00 at a local head shop.  I also outfitted it with a Grav ash catcher for $50.00.  It draws with some resistance due to all the water and size, but the smoke is smooth and very cool.  It takes me three "hits" to clear the piece of smoke once I milk it up.  It almost feels like I'm not smoking because it's so smooth.  Much better than anything that I've had to date.
     
    Any hints or advice on using something this size?

  2. Looks really nice, great artwork. If it seems like quality then great price too ! 
     
    When you milk it, just milk it less, or corner your bowl, so then you can suck it all up (hah), that way you take a big hit and clear it, feels so much better. 
    So then you don't have smoke going stale, which happens pretty fast
     
    Throw in some ice, so much more refreshing

    Beautiful piece! I suggest you get a 1 hitter bowl and load it up with single snaps as opposed to an entire bowl that you cannot clear. Good luck!
     
    El guapo is Mexican slang for "the bully". It also means "handsome man". Why did you choose that name?
     
  4. I first heard the name in the movie Three Amigos.  I knew that it meant something like "the big guy".  The character turned out to be a comical, goofy guy.  I also toyed with Big Bertha, but didn't think that the name was very original.  El Guapo is handsome and sometimes he does bully me around!
     
    Thanks!
     
  5. Well "el guapo" translates to "the handsome guy" or something along those lines.

    Did you mean El Gordo, or The Fat(big) Guy?

    Nice bong nonetheless for 100 I've found I prefer a shitload of ice to percs though percs add so much drag

  15. Three hits??? I could imagine someone needing two, but three for it being milked? Jeez lol some people just have small lungs or something
     
  16. The object near the bong is the movement to an antique clock.  I'm restoring it.
