I brought this 18in left coast straight pipe. this bong hits soo nice. i was wondering i heard the they are made by artist from illadelph. if thats true. and if any one else has one. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQhYzjNZ-ag]YouTube - nice Left coast hit.[/ame]
just something i saw on facebook from an iladelph employee... chinese glass and chinese downstems... everyone in the industry knows this and only desperate shops would want to carry such garbage. This company not only rips off coils and disc ash catchers but their logo is a replica of ours... all the letters joined and curved on the bottom and running the length of the tube. NOW they have logos with silver outlines... how very fucking original. This company is total bullshit in every way shape and form... they told us at Champs we should be flattered that they are copying our styles. Nobody at Illadelph is flattered; you suck Mike. I'm sure the industry and its customers will agree soon enough.
Damn that some shit right there but i know that the downstems are china glass. i have i diffrent one anyway. and there percs are. everything else is blown in the us
Unfortunately for Illadelph, the Left Coast "knock-offs" aren't really that bad of quality, barring the downstems, which are garbage. People buy em all the fucking time cause they don't want to spend the $$ on an Illadelph. <3 Illadelph though.
Well my first water pipe was a left coast, 5MM 18inch, stock everything. I loved the peice. Honestly I think to relate them to Illadelph is just retarded, yeah I suppose the labels are alike but hardly.. For Illadelph to freak out over this is plain retarded. I've hit numerous Illys and have owned a few. Yea they are "the best" but you can't loose your self in the hype, I spent 1250 on my Illadelph, in retrospect I wouldn't have bought it. I'm going to pick up a 9MM Left today as I am in love with it more then ive ever liked my Illadelph, RooRs, Medicalis. In the end it's all about what you like, fuck the haters. In no way am I promoting inexpensive pipes, trust me. Viva La Left
It's pretty rich of illadelph to be slating anyone for using Chinese glass or joints Quality wise illadelph are low on the spectrum. It's just their marketing that's top notch.
They are made by an ex-Illadelph blower(s), a dude at my shop knows the whole story. I love their quality for the price, Im actually about to get a LC ash catcher for my 5mm today, anyways here it is:
