So Im in the market for a new bong. I'd like one that only has ONE level of water filtration, but I would like that one chamber to be very well diffused, and I'm keen on stemless, but that isn't set in stone. I'd like the price range to be around 150-300, but I'd really prefer to keep it under 250. I've been looking at the Hoss Mini Stemline. For 150 dollars you get 7mm glass and what looks to me like a very functional little percolator. For 200 you can get the Hoss Stemline, which is also 7mm glass and quite bit, with an even better perc. How much worse is this than the Sovereignty Gridline or Stemline? I currently own a 5mm 18 inch AMG, with a triple tree perc and my alex k downstem. I've come to realize that this bong isn't for me and I plan on selling it. The other option is to keep the Alex K Downstem and use that in a nice but simple beaker. Anyone have any suggestions? I'd like 7 or 9mm glass, I don't want it huge like over 20 inches but I don't want it super small like less than 14. I want the best filtered single chamber bong I can afford, whether that means keeping my alex K or getting a stemless.
[quote name='"CanadaGuy"']look at hi si, my dealer has one thats like breathing in normally[/quote] I've seen those before they look nice but every single one has at least two chambers. Thats my biggest thing right now. I want one chamber, debating betwen alex K or a perc (stemless)
Is there a reason for only one water level? And if you're set on that I would get a waffle or gridded stemless, can't beat those.

I find the taste when it goes through water multiple times is much worse. And one nicely done chamber will be virtually no drag. I don't mind two chambers that much, but I want the ability to do just one if I feel like it. If I get a stemless I can always take a nice ashcatcher and put it on if I feel like it. Ive been looking at waffles and gridded stemless, but which one? Is Hoss any good? Cause they have some excellent functioning pieces by the looks of them for cheap.
damn man from everything you said it looks like you should get an Sg Mini 60mm or Sg 50mm Straight tube. if you want to spend a little less you can get the Stone Glass Works aka SGW Waffle...this piece is loved by all and will bring out the flavor of your buds. 2011bc has some Netline single chambers for around 330...same price as Sg stemlines and minis Stemlines are all the rave these days and if you get something else you will regret it within a few months to a year. PUFFER
Sgw waffle tube-300$ Sg stemline-320$ Out of your price range but I would recommend the sg. Syn makes a stemless showerhead mini that's like 220 when they are in stock, so if you want to stay under 250 I would go that route or buy a straight shooter or beaker for the Alex k.
Maybe I should save up for an sg stemline. The thing looks epic. Thanks for the replies guys youve been very helpful. Id still like to hear opinions of hoss on functionality compared to all these.
