i narrowed it down to a rasta little sista or a yellow straight tube minimaster also got a great deal on here for a 7mm camo illy..let me know wat would be best first time buyin a high end tube or if u have any offers let me know....
Thickness adds to the durability of the piece. I own A US tubes beaker bottom, and i will never by another brand. I would recommend US tubes over either of those brands if you have a shop around you that sells them. US tubes makes some of the thickest, and highest quality pieces around, not to mention it will run you about half of what illy would
I don't feel like looking through it, but here is the US Tubes Appreciation thread, http://forum.grasscity.com/toking-tools/362749-us-tubes-appreciation.html It may have some info on grabbing one
If you live on the west coast then i'm sure most headshops around you will carry them. 42 degrees in Ann Arbor Michigan sells them (they have a profile on this site, might be a good idea to contact them). US tubes does not have a web-site, nor am i familiar with any sites that sell them. I started a thread that stated how i was looking for US Tubes and some very helpful people contacted me and did their best to help me out (privately)
ya its a nice discount price compared to the 325 original price he payed for it..hope fully he holds on to it..if he sells it..ima look a lil more for a good tube...
I would get the mini master personally, but if you are worried about durability, the illy sounds like a good deal.
i wanna go with the illy cuz of the nice lower price than the mini master out performs better i will get that want somethin that can travel durable clean no drag rips,
