I have had many bongs throughout my life but this one above is my favorite. Her name is Sapphire. I picked up the main bong from a local head shop called "Culture Rising", it came with a ice catcher, percolator, plain glass downstem and a small blue ash catcher. The ash-catcher broke and so did the one that replaced the replacement. Finally the other day the pieces i had been waiting for came in and i was able to pickup the clear pre-cooler and diffused downstem. I rarely cough as it is but now with this addition its almost to easy Overall i should have spent a pretty penny but luckily i had some hookups. Anyways i thought ide share my "Art", sorry its not clean! If anyone has questions feel free to reply or PM me. Cheers (P.s. I took this pic off my cell so i wasn't able to rotate it without it squishing)
dude a clean bong is like a clean motorcycle.... shelf queens are for pussies... you bought it to use it! who gives a fuck if its dirty!
i dont see the point in "high end glass" honestly.... i picked up a beaker bottom double perc for $70.... precooler and diffuser it'd be about $100 shipped... which isnt bad considering how much we spend on cheap pieces.... sometimes the cheaper ones are the best ones.
disagree. comparing cheap glass to name brand is like comparing a suzuki to a mercedes... they're both cars... but definitely not the same
im talking functionality... both are tools to get you high... some people dont have a shit ton of money to be blowing on a over priced bong.
They arent overpriced. If you ever smoked out of one you would realize its worth every penny. And I dont even have a bong. I have just used friends roors and illys and they are totally worth every penny
havent smoked out of an illy, but ive smoked out of a plain roor. honestly i couldnt tell the difference between my lil acrylic vs. the roor.. the roor cleared a lil smoother simply because it doesnt have a carb hole, allowing more air through a larger hole vs carbed. anyways, ive got glass pieces. hell i just ordered a double perc beaker bottomed piece... its no named... but its all glass on glass, 18.8mm joints... and the piece is $70 shipped.. so you cant beat it.
You can totally kick the shit out of that $70 bong. Go smoke a stemless or a Luke wilson inline or a medicali. You will be amazed. You cant tell between a $20 acrylic and a nice glass roor? Go get your head checked bruh
My friend has a no name bong he bought from a shop. I've got a single perc'd medicali. We don't really use his very much. I like your 'Sapphire' though OP. I had a black one very similar, smaller than normal b's but still delivered a smashing hit. And then the top above the base snapped off
The difference in glass is amazing. Sure both get you high, but the name brand bongs are better quality glass, much better work, smoother hits, and are much better overall and worth the price.
Any glass on glass bong will do it for me. You guys are right though about how name brand ones are better in the fact that brands normally make their glass pieces thicker, stronger, and more even. But i still have had some nice thick glassed custom pieces from my local head shop that are just as strong and milk just as nice. Dupending on the solo artist making the glass, ide say ive seen custom stuff better then named brand. And you cant beat the price, especially with hookups
i realize glass on glass is the way to go... but my point is the best isnt always the most expensive.... personal preference, percs, a/c's, its all about personal preference.
