Downstem diffusion idea.

Depending on the airflow, it's a viable idea. Would need to use a CF so you wouldn't have to change it too often.

I kinda like all glass though.

 

Yeah I know it's impossible.

Oh yeah, pretty much every hole would be firing 100% of the time. I'm sure that a screen could be made to ensure no impeded airflow if their was no resin/ash build up. Also, downstems could be easily made to hold the screen in place like on a Roor Carbon filter.

Definitely a viable idea.

 

I'm intrigued by this idea, OP. I can actually see this being pulled off in a couple of different ways and still end up with a classy look that I would be tempted to throw down some cash on. I'm no expert in glass, but I feel like someone with a reasonable amount of skill could mke this happen without much difficulty. Perhaps I'll consult a local blower and see about a custom one. +rep for you my man

(Now go start making and selling some already.)

 

its not impossible

yo would have to get a bunch of small glass strings aka

fiber optic strands and emulate the type of filter on most faucets

create a glass mesh screen

 

I see were your gettin at about foam op i think this is a great idea dude maybe you should just put a metal screen inside the downstem to test it out pretty easy to get one stuck in there.

 

yeah test that out, seems like the best place to start... and post a video even if it doesnt work. with everyone on GC, this can be possible.

 

My friend told me to try this about a year ago and i did, works pretty good until it gets clogged, i used a pipe screen with tons of little holes held on the end of a downstem with a gromet style thing, il try to look for a picture. It would be easy to just replace the screen once its dirty

 

they make glass screens already. It would be very easy .

 

not sure your getting what the point of the thread

yeaaaaahhh thats not gunna work, cant work with glass that small

 

Could be woven out of fibreglass. Not sure about how it would be affected by heat, but a weave could be made.
EDIT: already brought up..

 

i would not do fiberglass dont want to risk inhaling that...

 

If somebody does actually test this idea a good way to be able to change screens easily would to have a non diffused glass downstem with a glass cap with a hole in it. Just put the screen in the cap and slide it over the downstem. Would need to find a way to secure the two so they don't the cap doesn't slide off. Maybe like a keck clip but on the inside? If I had a bong and I knew a local glassblower I would be getting this made.

 

I think someone should draw up a diagram on MS paint lol

 

Like i said I've made it before and just used a rubber thing to hold on the screen and replace it easy.

And fiberglass is not the same type of glass at all
