I want to know the absolute best bong for my money. I want a shower head(or something similar) and a shit load of diffusion. Please help me out
Medicali is a great brand. I had a six arm tree that I got for like $290 and I bought an inline ash catcher off Etsy for $50. I know it's not what you're looking for, but it was great. I had that for about eight months until it broke (because it got dropped on a garage from four feet in the air. Other than that, it was a sturdy ass piece that got the job done. I travelled with it a lot, too. Honestly, you only need so much diffusion. After a certain point, all it will do is increase drag.
IMO in that range, SG stemline is a great pick. It simple, not to much going on, and diffuses great. Also, a reverse shower head (Forget what they are called) from SYN is sooo sick for Diffusion. A certain someone has them onsale also... I'd pick an SG if it was.. tho i'm also bias towards them since I own one..
Keep in mind there is a certain feeling you only get from that big hit wrecking your lungs for a few seconds.. surely diffusion is good, but as the mudkip dude above me said, you only need so much. What fun would a bong when you can't feel that "OH SHIT, THIS IS GONNA BE HARD TO HOLD IN" feeling here and there BTW, I am also in the market in the next month or so for a high end bong, $400 - $500 I am thinking. I have a great head shop in the Alexandria, VA area that I'll be shopping at. I've had drinks with the owners and I know they'll hook it up the best they can, and they have some SICK brands. From Toro to RooR.
So you want a showerhead or "something similar" (basically some classy percs that diffuse real well) for $300-400. As mentioned above, you can get an SG in that range which will be a nice smooth hit. The 60 mm mini stems go for around $330.
its not so bad...i got 3 Sg pieces in the past few months and all off the forbidden site. just gotta be quick with it and know when they are gonna pop up.....as a helpful hint the guys in The SG Appreciation thread usually alert the Grasscity blades of shipments getting dropped so some of us can reap the reward of a shinny new Sg tube. personally i would go for this or a Waffle from Stone Glass Works...those are pretty sick as well.
