As the title states i'm currently on the hunt for my first bong. I have narrowed my choice to the following: (Black Leaf) 'Black Leaf' Icebong with tree percolator - English - Grasscity.com (Blaze) Blaze Glass - Clear Glass Percolator Ice Bong - English - Grasscity.com Questions about the Blaze: 1. I'm assuming the downstem is diffused because of a comment in the reviews. However, does it have slits or holes? (hard to tell from pic) 2. Is the downstem connected to the bowl? or is it removable? 3. Which precooler/ashcatcher would you recommend for this bong (preferably under 20$ but willing to go higher if need be..) My only real question about the Black Leaf is; would you recommend it over the blaze? Any and all help would be appreciated as once again this is my first experience with glass, so i'm trying to be as informed as possible on my decision.
