Hey guys, this my first post here. I'm bout to buy bong. It is a http://www.grasscity.com/us_en/flaming-skull-double-10-arm-perc-beaker-base-ice-bong-blue.html and my first question is if there is any reason not too? I'm looking for a bong with perc + diff that somewhat easy to clean in the 150-250 price range. The other one I was considering was http://www.grasscity.com/us_en/black-leaf-honeycomb-perc-stemless-glass-ice-tube-ufo-perc-50cm.html, should I stay with my first pick? Second question is, if I buy the above mentioned one, what kind of Titanium nail should I buy, 14.5 or 18.8 mm? This is the most important question. The way I understand it is that if I want to use the diffuser stem I should get a 14.5 and if I want to go without stem i should go with 18.8. When buying a vape dome, what joint measurements should I look for in the above mentioned bong? Lastly, is there any bong accessories that are "must haves"? Thanks in advance.
Don't buy either of those pieces. http://apixdesign.com/products-page/tubes/15-5-60mm-kingstemline-with-slime-reinforcement-and-slime-4-hole-slide/ It will most likely diffuse better than any of those Percs with a ton less drag. I would also check out dirty Rico apocolines as well as ssfg and hvy for your price range. Blaze glass isn't terrible but for 200 bucks you might as well spend money on quality glass from a respected American blower. If you get a piece I would recommend getting 18.8 mm because I like larger bowls and personally I feel like the glass is usually a lil stronger in an 18 but thuat might just be all mental. I would also look into a stemless 90 degree piece.
the first one has a carb hole and a GonG slide...wtf is that about? i'd say it's for cleaning but why wouldnt you just use the downstem hole? stay away from that piece of jank for sure
Fuck guys...I really thought I was on to something:/ Since those are crap, could anyone recommend me a good one in the 150-250 price range? Should I complete ignore grasscity reviews on the web shop? I'll read a bit more on the forum and the web page to figure out what to look for.
Check out blue dot bongs google it they run about 150+ price range! xD Sent from my X501_USA_Cricket using Grasscity Forum mobile app
hit your local glass shops theres deffinatly some great pieces out there i prefer beaker bottom and a straight tube with a shower-head down stem, never liked percs to much drag and hard to clean although a buddy of mine had a custom ?mark perk and it was the best hitting piece ive ever used!
I'll check them out, any reason to why they are not on grasscity? Why do you recommend them, whats good about them? I'm in a place where LE doesn't look kindly on headshops so this is sadly not an option for me:/ Right now I'm reading through the forum to get an idea what to look for in a bong. I'm really surprised that the bong i picked got so bad repose, thought it was at least semi good due to the reviews.
im not sure if they're on grass city but they're name brand bongs most have ice chambers built in to catch the ice so you dont break your down stem,for cool hits, also its the first bong i ever toked its and i got blazed!
just a few things you can look for is clarity in the glass(no bubbles), and most quality pieces are 7mm+ thickness. heres some nice glass for less then 150... http://www.grasscity.com/us_en/smoking-pipes/bongs-waterpipes/glass-bongs/blaze-glass-percolator-bong-clear-glass-beaker-base-7mm.html#.UhHWIZJzJ8E or something with a perc http://www.grasscity.com/us_en/black-leaf-stemless-24-arm-perc-7mm-glass-tube.html#.UhHWWpJzJ8E
Thanks for all your suggestions guys, sorry for my many questions. Since this is my first real bong I want the smoking experience to be better than the bongs I've tried. SuperLemonDaze, why would you pick http://www.grasscity.com/us_en/black-leaf-stemless-24-arm-perc-7mm-glass-tube.html#.UhHWWpJzJ8E over http://www.grasscity.com/us_en/flaming-skull-double-10-arm-perc-beaker-base-ice-bong-blue.html#.UhDT0pLBvuQ? I know that the carb sux and that it might be a bitch to clean like turdhole said, but is there something else that makes your pic better? Thanks yet again
Ok, I've read like every suggestion people have been given and tried to make up my own mind of what might be good and what might not be. I still haven't decided on how much to give, but I guess I'm going for some kind of quality bong costing anywhere between 200-400 USD where I get a lot of value for the money. 400: http://www.grasscity.com/us_en/review/product/list/id/10181/category/1092/ vs 200-300: http://www.grasscity.com/us_en/blaze-glass-stemless-ice-bong-10-arm-tree-perc-circ-perc-disc-screen-slide-bowl.html#.UhIe1ZLBvuR vs http://www.grasscity.com/us_en/liquid-sci-glass-straight-cylinder-glass-ice-tube-with-10-arm-perc.html#.UhIe15LBvuR I think the choice is down to those. Does anyone know anything about the 400 USD one? Is it a lot better than the ones I've mentioned? If it isn't a lot better than the ones listed in the 200-300$ range then i rather take a cheaper one and buy a monster later. So if we check the cheaper ones, which one should I choose and why? Is there something a lot better in the same range that I should consider instead? I really apologize for the hail of questions, bong culture is very new to me and I want a bong TODAY. Problem is there is a lot to learn and its not really an unsubstantial investment Best regards and thanks in advance k
