Sherlock Bubbler vs Steamroller

  1. So recently I've been in quite the controversy... I've been looking at two pieces and I am having a tough time deciding which one to get. I hear pros and cons about both but I still have no idea which to pick. This is the steamroller: http://kushcargo.com/product/grav-labs-mini-steamroller-glass-pipe-5-inch . This is the bubbler: http://www.gogopipes.com/Glass_Bubblers-Siren_Of_Sea_Glass_Bubblers.html . They're both approximately five inches and I'm not looking to get a piece larger than that. Which piece would you recommend and why? Feel free to recommend any other pieces you feel are amazing and under 6 inches.
     
  2. Depends what you want to use them for. I would imagine that the bubbler would be just slightly more pleasant to smoke from. However, if adding water is too much of an inconvenience, and you want something that you can just quickly toss in your pocket, and smoke in the park or something, then the steamroller might be your choice. 
     
  3. Which is more efficient? Also, I know the steamroller will be harsher but adding water every time and having the bubbler reek kinda turns me away. Does the bubbler filtration really make that big of a difference for harshness?
     
  4. Honestly I have never been a fan of steamrollers. That's a lot of hot smoke to suck in at once. If I'm not using water Id rather just smoke a regular pipe or joint. So in this case is go with the Sherlock but I'd prob recommend a pipe over both. Sherlocks are hard to clean and your right it does get stinky sometimes.

  5. Not sure about efficiency. I know steamrollers can hit pretty hard- not the most pleasant to hit, but there are some that enjoy that kind of dry, unfiltered, powerful hit, which they claim gets the fucked up. The bubbler would suit my taste more. Just empty out the water every time your sesh is done to avoid the reek. 
     
  6. I would personaly go with the bubbler, its just a better/cleaner smoking expirience than a steamroller imo
     
  7. Ok I've decided I'll get a bubbler. Any ones u guys reccomend that you've gotten online? Or is the one in the link a good choice? My closest headshop doesn't have a great variety of bubblers and the ones they have are ridiculously overpriced so I'd rather buy online.
     
  8. If money isn't too much of a factor, you could always go with a stealthy weed vaporizer. Pax, mflb, etc. It may be worth looking into.

    Yeah I've looked into them I'm just worried I won't like the 'different' type of high. I'd rather try one first then buy one but none of my friends have one
     
  10. Yeah, I understand. I personally enjoy it, but that may not be the case for you. It makes me feel better about getting high though. Less lung damage in the long run.

    You seem ok with spending the money if the only reason for not spending 200+ is because you haven't tried it. If you have the money maybe try looking for a decent scientific bubbler. Won't tip over,easier to clean, and will hold enough water to make a much bigger difference than what is in a Sherlock.

  12. If you're looking for a piece under 5 inches, you should check out the Pocketbub Factory's no spill bubblers.

    Pocketbub.com | No-spill Glass Bubblers & Sherlock Bubblers

    American made, high quality, clean design, easy to use, portable.... fucking love them.

    My personal all time favorite piece is their micro sized sherbbler
    Micro Sherbblers | Pocketbub.com

    All of their micro sizes would be under 5 inches. Their mini sized pocketbub might be around five inches as well.
