New Bong - Will This Setup Work??

  1. Hey everyone. New here on the forums, and I must say...THE SAVINGS! The deals going on right now in the shop are unbelieveable. :D Anyways, I'm getting my cart ready to order on payday (The 10th) and I'm looking for someone to doublecheck a few items, just to make sure I'm not messing anything up. This will be my first bong. Here's what I'm looking at getting - -

    Flaming Skull - 7mm Glass Tube with Color Diffusion Chamber and 6-arm Perc - Blue
         Height: 45cm/17.75in    Joint: 18.8mm>14.5mm Downstem

    Blaze Glass - 11-Arm Reinforced Tree Perc Precooler - Blue - 14.5mm
         Height: 4.9in   Joint: 14.5mm

    Black Leaf - Carball Carbon Filter Adapter
         Height: 9cm.3.5in     Joint: 14.5mm

    I know that the joints are the correct size, but the main thing I'm worried about is whether or not the precooler will sit correctly when attatched. Any reassurance would be awesome! Thanks!

Any reassurance would be awesome! Thanks![/quote]Everything looks good, a little big on the pre cooler for my current taste (livin with the parents) but skip the carbon filter imo. I don't care for them however I've only used one 2 times I feel as it takes some taste out and I love my tasty nuggets.If the bong doesn't have it invest in a diffused downstem and diffuser beads. They're worth it imo. But all in all looks good you should be set up to take some fat rips haha.
     
  3. Thanks for the quick reply! I've been back and forth on the carbon filter; some say yes, some say no. Being the way that it is, if I were to take it out of my cart, it would drop below 300$ subtotal and lose the free shipping, so I'd save money by just getting it and trying it out.

    The bong does come with a slitted diffuser downstem. As for diffuser beads, I was going to get them originally, but then I stumbled across the G-Spot Glass Diffuser Rings. Would those suffice? (I think the glass would look sick in front of the blue diffuser chamber)

Had them in this baby til I broke her r.i.p. ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1386412217.846498.jpg
     
  5. I say buy the carbon filter. It has been the greatest attachment I've ever used. Owned two of them and absolute loved them both!
     
  6. Yeah I'll be getting the filter. Even if I don't like it, I'm saving money by getting it thanks to the cyber sales :D.
     
  7. To be honest, i see WAY too much percolation for my liking. With a big diffused base, and a 6 arm perk in the tube... the 11 arm AC seems like a bit of overkill. I'd rather have a single downstem style ashcatcher that is easier to clean, but the 11arms are pretty cool. All that plus a carbon filter, you won't be tasting much at all.

    I honestly don't like the looks of that weird diffuser the bong uses.... it mean, it LOOKS cool, but not sure about the amount of drag it will have. One thing is for sure, you will have a SSSMMMOOOOOTTTHHHH hit!


    I've really been wanting one of these, or pretty much any of the glasscity line. But I like to dab and I like alot of flavor to come though.

  8. Just to reassure, everything will be smooth with this setup. They'll all fit.
    Just saying, $70 is a bit much for an ash catcher IMO, even if it is a quality piece of glass. If you want to spend less, you can get an ok one for like $20 or $30 on ebay, etsy, maybe even amazon.

    As for the pricing on the parts, my cart 'subtotal' is just over 300$. If I were to take off the current AC, and replace it with one that's say, 30$, my cart subtotal will drop to 260$. Take off the 25% for the holiday sale and we're at 195$, Add on the 35$ S/H fees, and we're back up to a checkout total of 230$. My current total, with the 70$ AC, is 225$, because of the free shipping.
     
    Being that this is going to be my first bong, I'm quite inexperienced when it comes to determining the amount of drag, or how smooth the hit will be. Flavor isn't a high priority for me, but I'd rather it not feel like I'm trying to suck a golfball through a garden hose while I'm taking a hit lol. I'm open to suggestions on other precooler/AC setups if anyone has any.
     
    Edit: This was another AC I was looking at. The 'Twin Cooler' by Black Leaf. 14.5mm Joint

  10. I like the new ac except I don't like stuff that looks like I would break it... However it will be a smooth af hit with either. I personally love percs on top of percs haha. And diffusion never hurt anyone
