  1. Hi GC.

    i got a question about coil condensers.

    1. are they worth the price ($1,100+)
    2.how do they work?
     
  2. Not worth it but.... my friends who tried one said it was the best hit they have ever tried
     
  3. IMHO no, they are not worth the price. I have hit a couple coil's and functionally they have bad drag for a single chambered tube. I mean sure it's cool you can freeze the coil and what not, but the piece itself is quite novelty. Not worth close to a grand in my opinion. I'd rather get a a gnarly SG or Toro for that......
     
  4. seems like more of a novelty to me. for a grand you could get a small glass collection, and it doesn't seem like it's that big of an advantage over ice...
     
  5. I've seen basic Illadelph Coils go for around $500-$700.
     
  6. I only the only coil I would ever own and thats the 1 piece. The 2 piece seems like its an accident waiting to happen.

    Here are my thoughts on the coil

    Are they worth the money? Sure.

    Do they have drag? Sure

    Is it just a novelty tube? Yes and no- I use mine all the time but I dont actually freeze it all the time but with a 2 piece you might because its smaller and doesn't take up a lot of room. I wouldn't call it a novelty but its just a beaker you can stick in the freezer.

    They work by sticking it in the freezer and getting the glycerin cold, but it won't freeze. There is a glass coil that goes through the glycerin chamber and as the smoke passes through the coil it is chilled by the cold glycerin.

    All in all if you can afford it and want one go for it because all your friends will be like ohhhhhhhhhh and ahhhhhhhhhhhhh when they see it.

    Don't pay 1k for it thought because you can get them for a lot less
     
  7. yeah find a better price and they are worth it. 800 is the highest i'd pay for a basic coil.
     
  8. Can't say because i have never hit one, but if you want super chilled hits that is the best way to go!
     
  9. i want one of the salt collabs
     
  10. I've had the chance to hit a 2 piece one before...It was really nice and I didn't notice a whole lot of drag...

    All in all though, that hit wasn't worth the price tag.
