Hey fellow green enthusiasts, I was looking for a new piece but would like to stay at 300 or less, what do you recommend? I really appreciate any input.
If you extend your budget just slightly, you can get an SG Stemline ... Or if you are looking for a bubbler a Luke Wilson 15 Arm ... I think you'll find spending a little extra will go a long way.
Yeah Sovereignty Stemline, I think many will agree a piece that will get the job done. You should also look into Glassmansdoll (GMD) and EFS Glassworks, both are individual glassblowers that do some great work ... you can find videos and info about them on these boards. You've got a decent amount of options for ~300, if you find a specific piece you like, definitely post it up and people can throw in their opinions etc. Smoke Happy
Alright awesome, and do you recommend me buying online? Or at a LHS? I bout my first piece (a sweet Sherlock) from my head shop and it has treated me well. I bout my 1st bong from one too, but it gotten taken by campus police.
If you've got a good LHS around you, definitely check it out. Always nice to haggle a bit, and see the glass in person. But of course if you can't find what you want in the store, you can buy online with confidence ... There are many online shops listed in various threads that have quality glass and great shipping / customer service ... In the end it just depends what specifically you are looking for.
Aweomse man, really appreciate the input. What is your opinion on ROOR and Helix? would they be worth the extra money? More so than SG's or Luke Wilson's?
When you buy a ROOR you are paying for the name, not worth the money in my opinion. You can spend your money on something with better diffusion or spend less money and get the same results as a ROOR (since they are straight shooters). I haven't read too much about Helix so perhaps someone else can chime in about those, but they look pretty damn cool / the design is interesting. But definitely look past ROORs, you can get a better bang for your buck. *EDIT: If you like the concept of Helix, check out Hitman glass ... They have a turbine design that you might like.
Roor sucks, old and outdated. The stemline or LW bub are the best high end glass pieces for price, you can't any better than those. Solid clean glass.
Okay, good advice about the ROOR's, I want to check out the hitman. but check this out 2010bc - Clear MINI Beaker - bC Label - # 8 and tell me what you think please.
Okay yeah, this is my first time on alt and I'm liking what I see, I might have to splurge and get a $400 piece now haha
Yeah anything on ALT is going to be good stuff ... I totally forgot to recommend 2010BC, mainly because the only thing ALT had listed a few days ago was in the 500+ range ... They definitely make some nice glass as well.
Not trying to bump, but tell me what you think about this: 2010bc - Clear MINI Beaker - bC Label - # 8
Given ALT's options and 350$, I would definitely choose this: Soveriegnty Glass - 60 mm Natty Stemline w/ UP Grid I was going to suggest either the king stemline or 50x5 stemline, but they sold since I last checked :/ I haven't personally hit one, but that 2010bc second chamber perc looks draggy.
Yeah, I'm not necessarily looking to make the purchase today so sold out is okay with me. I just spent some time looking around ALT and this is my wishlist: ZOB - UFO PERK - BEAKER - RASTA & BLACK LABEL http://grasscity.com/syn-4-arm-tree-perk-beaker-platinum-label.html Sovereignty - KING STEMLINE - Black Label PHX Glass - Clear Mini Duo Straight - Sand Blasted HVY Glass - CLEAR SHOWER HEAD STRAIGHT illadelph - Tall Straight - Rasta & Gold Label HITMAN GLASS - 7 mm 14" BEAKER - RED Manifest - Clear Double Perk Beaker - Rasta http://grasscity.com/toro-micro-circ-straight-script-2.html Would appreciate anyone's insight!
I really hate to say it, I probably will end up sounds biased or like I am just saying what pretty much everyone else says, but the King Stemline absolutely crushes every single of those other pieces in value IMHO. Although, there isn't any work on the King Stemline, just the labels. But when I bought my King that was exactly what I wanted. Edit: For example, my other bong is a Quality bong w/ a 4 arm perc. I used to have an Alex K showerhead downstem for it but it broke. The King destroys it.
Ya that one is probably the one I will choose, probably pick up a nice AC with it as well, spending much more that I originally wanted to. But you think it is worth it?
