Hey Blades, I'm looking to buy a nice setup for less than $200, that is quality glass that will clear fast and get me blazed. I'm just wondering if this setup will work well for that. I already know I want a beaker and the height is good too on this piece. Also, is a slitted slide going to keep ashes out better than one with a single hole? Beaker: HVY Glass - 50 x 5 mm - Clear Beaker - 16.0" inch Downstem: Alex K - Shower Head Diffused Downstem - 3.0" inches Slide: Luke Wilson - Disc Screen Slide - 14 mm
all the products you have selected would make a fine setup, i have a HVy beaker and i love it! As for the slide, yes it would and i would recommend that slide for sure.
they dont have the length for the beaker in the low pro downstems unless you want to fill the beaker with more water than needed. it will have better airflow with these. Alex K Alex K - 18/18 mm - Shower Head Downstem - 4 - 3/4" ben wilson dd B. Wilson - Clear Disc Screen Slide - 18 mm
thanks for pointing that out to me, the measurements are still somewhat confusing. and i'm all about maxing airflow
Im confused are you saying im wrong or telling him to look closely at my link. im really stoned right now.
I posted a 4.75" low-profile AK showerhead. For the OP, if you get the downstem I linked, then get a 14mm bowl. It's considered a low-profile stem because less of it will stick out of the bong. It does constrict air a bit more, but on a beaker without a perc, it won't be too noticeable. If you get the stem that smoke_toky linked, then you need to get an 18mm bowl. Either way both of those downstems should fit as they both measure 4.75" from the bottom of the ground joint to the bottom of the stem itself.
