JohnnyCage's Glass Thread! Here are all my pieces; Hoss circ- worked top. 'Hit Glass' 8 arm tree perc 'Hit Glass' top mouthpiece with ice pinch 'Nice Glass' glycerin coil 'Hit Glass' stemline 4 arm- 3 slits each. no name beaker base.
Pakoh Boombox - 18mm Pakoh Tv- 18mm Roor original (re-blown joint) Koji- 1up mushroom- 18mm (and a dabber and oil dish- all my papers- some hempwick- and 2 illadelph glo rods and the illadelph stand for them) And the first picture- with the yellow k clip- thats a sherlock 18mm mouthpiece
Two other cheap-y bowls. The cheech bowl is glass pinched (and sorry about the ash catcher and carbon filter- I didn't feel like cleaning them)
I was thinkin'... psh HOSS whatev... and then I scrolled down and saw the PaKoH, score! Looks like you got the collection going in the right direction, keep it up.
Thanks alot- I appreciate it. Yeah the hoss is one of the purchases i kinda regret . . . The no-name beaker came with a glycerin filled straight tube- (which i LOVED-) but the glass joint broke when it hit the lip of the beaker's joint. But the hoss circ works GREAT as a second perc (because its kinda airy- not much drag) but i don't like how it fires if its the first stage perc. I would LOVE to get my hands on a US tubes build-kit! But my next purchases im thinking about are a SG- Toro- mobius matrix bent neck- I also want to get some electroformed bowls- maybe snic?

Do you recommend any good ways to clean it?
See- (firstly- I LOVE the gimmick of build-abongs- lol EVERYTHING about them) But i had to get a build- as my Daily Driver because I like hits that have been run through a perc or 2- but i refuse to fight with a big tube trying to clean the percs . . . lol My GF HATES the smell of dirty bongs- so i have to keep it clean- I like that i can take it apart (fuckin CAREFULLY- lol) and clean a perc in 1 min- no problem. But now that I have a decent set-up for daily use- I can start thinking about getting a pretty bent neck tube- by a high end glass artist. I love the scientific concept behind pillars- and swiss percs- But yeah- LOTS of things on my shopping list in the future
Just the glycerin coil? Actually truth be told- thats my hardest-to-clean piece.lol. Because of the coil- ISO(or whatever you use) doesn't get alot of contact swishing/splashing it around- What i do- is add uncooked rice- or a SHITLOAD of coarse salt- to 99 iso. Then i put a (make sure you can throw away after) plastic cup/container under neath. Then pour in the to- and hold the coil upside-down over the plastic container to catch what pours through to the bottom. Then after you have caught all the kinda dirty iso- pour it in the top again! Keep doing that about a dozen times- and rinse with hot water- should be good to go!
[quote name='"johnnyCage"']Oh- also- any one with a carbon filter? How long do you rinse the carbon for??[/quote] Until water runs clear through it when you swish it around. You gotta get all that dust off.
Thanks- I'd LOVE to get my hands on a 'sheepdawg' or somethin like that! I just hate heady glass with the freaky stuff- like salt- or alien head and fetus' and monster things- lol I appreciate the ART in them- but i would never want to get high and look at somethin like spooky. But im ALWAYS lookin for cool slides! (i love the zach p black ones)
Oh- anyone have tricks for cleaning bowl pieces? I can clean them fine- but i hate cleaning the glass pinched bowl- the glass pinch itself takes FOREVER to get clean! lol

Works every time for me!
