Hey! I know quite a bit about bongs and stuff but one thing I'd like to know from someone out there who has a so more glass knowledge would be: Does 18mm really make a difference? Most larger, brandname or heady bongs seem to be 18. The reason I'm asking is because I've been using 14mm slides/acs for a while and I'm thinking that it probably makes quite a bit of a difference in air flow... What do you prefer and why?
18 gives the bong a significant amount more of air flow and since many high end glass users want great performance, yes the main companies use 18 and even up to 24 mm sized joints
I feel kind of stupid for thinking I would prefer 14mm, now if I upgrade my tubes I'm going to need new a/cs! What can you do! Other than use an adaptor that is...
dude i think youre just gonna have to get the new a/c's but yes the adapter would be the other option
I don't mind slides that are 14mm, A LOT of sick heady slides are on 14mm joints. I choose what I like without worrying about joint size. However when it comes to ashcatchers and all other joints, 18mm really does have much better airflow.
I wouldn't get a 14mm joint on a double chamber tube, but 14mm is all I need. I mostly smoke oil (or water filter vapor) so I prefer smaller volume (single chambered) pieces with 14mm joints.
