First Bong

  1. First lemme just apologize for asking this, as I know it's been asked a million times.

    I'm looking to get my first piece of glass now that I finally got a job and can smoke again :hello: ATL dank, here I come.

    Basically I just want some suggestions of what you guys would recommend

    Here's some fun facts:

    -Price Limit: $200
    -I prefer scientific over heady
    -I'm just now getting interested in high-quality glass so my knowledge of bong "anatomy" is limited, but I know I'll eventually want a showehead diffuser.


    Eh...I guess that's it. So let's have it fellas.

    Thanks in advance, and as always > :gc_rocks:
     
  2. Weedstar, real quality glass.
     
  3. bought a nice big glass one in venice beach, bowl and slide included, for $50. took me all day to find a good one that cheap but it was worth it. i wouldn't spend more than that on any piece because it'll probably break one day.
     
  4. :laughing::laughing::rolleyes:

    No but seriously check out alt.. For 200 check out alt under syn and zob those are some nice bongs for cheap and you could save that extra money to buy some dank to break it in.. You can also get a showerhead downstem on there for like 40 bucks.. I suggest a disc diffused slide on alt also..

    Hope this helps bro:wave:
     
  5. Thats the same tube i was gonna suggest but if it were my decision i would get the 14inch.. Just because i don't like big tubes..
     
  6. Okay yeah the ZOB stuff is lookin like exactly what I want. I like that^ one in the black and blue colors haha. I've never been a rasta fan.

    Aesthetics aside, this looks like a great deal.

    Should I be worried about 5mm thickness? I've always been under the impression that 7mm is the best in the strenghth vs. weight category. I'm not a clumsy person and I'll be, for the most part, the only one smoking out of it.

    Also, is it common for higher quality glass like this to come with a diffused downstem right out of the box? or is that one of the reasons this is a deal?
     
  7. It already comes with a slitted diffused downstem but i'd recommend the showerhead or multi-arm downstem... If its just gonna be you using it and your real careful with glass the 5mm will work perfect for you... Also look into the disc diffused slides.. B.wilson on alt should bring them up..
     
  8. Yeah I saw that I just didn't word my question right haha. I'm saying is it common for glass in this price range to come with a diffused stem like this one does?

    Yeah I'll definitely pick up the showerhead at the same time. I'm seeing the Adam K one for a decent price.

    Ok, sounds good. It will rarely leave my cushy carpeted bedroom haha.

    The B.Wilson is the exact one I saw. Does that completely eliminate the need for a wire screen?

    Man I sound like such a noob. It's amazing how you can be completely comfortable in one subforum and completely lost in another.
     
  9. I wouldn't get the wilson disc diffused slides,there a bitch to clean,i would get the 2010bc maltese slide
     
  10. I wouldn't be to worried about it, especially if your the main person using it, just be sure to keep that bad boy clean.

    Yezir, the downstem and bowl come both with the bong. Happy tokings :bongin:
     
  11. I'm not finding that on alt or google. Link perhaps?

    Thanks brah
     
  12. I never use screens in my bong bowls.. I've only used them on my hand pipes.. But i also clean my glass bongs quite frequently and my hand pipes never get any alcohol love haha.. Thats always the way i've been because when i get desperate when its dry around here i scrape the resin and smoke it.. Disquisting yes i know but hey what can you do when you can't just go out and get medical marijuana
     
  13. Ah ok makes sense. I had a Vtower vape and a glass spoon I bought from a gas station so I never really had a need for good glass until now. Always good to learn new things though.
     
  14. There 2010bc slides are out of stock :mad:
     
  15. UPDATE: I've decided!

    I'm going with this:

    http://grasscity.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/thumbnail/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/a/l/alt_1-23-11-1074.jpg

    ZOB 14" 5mm beaker. 131 shipped to my door. Awesome! I'm gonna hold off on the slide and showerhead for a while. I figure since this will be the first time I've ever smoked out of HQ glass I won't be disappointed and it'll give me time to get used to the stock stuff so I can truly appreciate a new, better slide. PLUUUSSSSS....The B.Wilson's are out of stock.

    I thought I'd post this info and a pic of it so maybe someone else in my situation can see about what to expect for that price.

    Thanks for all the help guys! Will post milk when I get it in
     
  16. I woulda went with a straight tube but thats just me.. I don't like beaker drag..
     
  17. Well I haven't processed the order just yet. I just went decided on the beaker because of stability as far as sitting on my desk and such. Is there really that much of a difference in drag?
     

  18. I bought this same bong about a week ago but in the Black/Blue colors. I love it. A perfect little beaker. The included downstem and bowl aren't that bad either. I need to get a luke wilson diffused slide and an Alex K showerhead diffuser to make the most out of it though.
     
  19. Thanks for the reassurance bro. I'm feeling pretty good about the order.
