it was about $50 all told, plumbing stuff is kinda expensive. But its incredibly solid, the mouthpiece tube doesn't bend at all even if pulled as hard as possible. The bowl is brass, the safest metal for smoking out of, the rest is galvanized and iron pipe. the joints are sealed with teflon tape. I really suggest everyone goes to home depot and walk around, even if you dont come out with a bong, you will definitely think of something fun to build. Post what you make here!
Oh, and I will be breaking in "the destroyer" tonight!
you, my friend, have inspired me to go out and build a plumbing bubbler. lol. i must do this. and i have an idea for the base, go to west marine (a boating store) and see if you can find one of the fittings for a table that would be put in a boat. you could then bolt the base to a piece of wood or even metal and then use that to stand it up. i might do this myself now that i think about it. lol
