Going to pick up one this week. Never hit a straight glass on glass before, only grommet. Own: 12" 5mm Dynamite Distributions beaker, 12" Volcano grommet bong, Vapor Bros, @ dry pipes, and 1 chillum. How much better do straights hit?
the hits from straights are just more direct. its personally preference. I do like straights more than beakers; beakers have slightly more drag, use more water, and are fat @_@
Yeah a straight is definitely a smoother hit, a beaker has a lot more volume though. In terms of US Tubes, straight all the way.
I have a 18" 9mm beaker and a 18" 7mm straight. Beaker is more of a concentrated bigger hit, kinda harsh. Looks way more bad ass though. Straight shot is definitely smoother of a hit. Simple.
which do you want? a better hit or something that looks damn sick? espically with us tubes because the beakers don't thin out
I'd personally go with the beaker man. Hit will be smoother, water will not get dirty after a bowl, bigger hits. ohhhhh god and that thick ustube beaker bottom
This. Seriously I have a US Tubes beaker and stemless, haven't hit the beaker since getting the stemless
Honestly it should come down to aesthetic preference and convenience. I much prefer the beaker style, so I would go for that.
Yeah, it mostly comes down to personal preference. I mean there are the little things here and there that make the slightest difference, amount of water used, clearing time etc. But get what you want man. You'll still get high. The best idea is to eventually, in the future get both kinds ^_^.
...why would you want the beaker to thin out? 9mm means that even if you do drop that bitch it WONT break.
