I'm in the market for a new water pipe and my limit is $400. I'm looking primarily for smoothness as I have very sensitive lungs and am involved in sports.
Look no further than the Sov stemline, you can get them off aq4u lab for 320$ [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXTFZs6xTp4]Jammin with the Mini SG Stemline - Sovereignty Glass - YouTube[/ame] There is some bubbler that are up there too, that diffuse quite well if your lungs are pooched, you can get a good vape a extreme q for 140$(no warranty) hook it up tot a bong voila, thats what i have stemline and vape bong [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKQCszTYgQw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKQCszTYgQw[/ame]
the PHX HD is definitely the fuckn tits if you can afford it! the PHX mini duo will also provide you with a very smooth powerful hit that will put you on your level. PHX mini duo + hash= blazed as fuck
Rip off, way over priced and under functioning, It has a 14.4mm gooseneck stem, which doesn't make it function to it's potential. The stemline is the bong to get in that price range and sovereignty is just the all around heavyweight in the glass scene. Unbeaten
i'm really getting tired of people thinking the stemline is the answer to everyone's question of what bong would work best for their situation. look no further than the sov stemline if you wanna get your lungs punched everytime you smoke it. if you want smooth, then get something with two water chambers. something like the syn dome perc, i just got it and it's miles smoother than my sg stemline + toro circ combo ever was.
My king stem is pretty damn smooth. It's got nine slits with six rows of grids.. 54points of diffusion. That's more than most of my two chamber bongs haha.
Maybe with a high air flow and smoothness, you were just taking massive hits with the Stemline? It would feel harsh if you milked it to a whole 3%, any bong will. Anyway I suggest the SGW Waffle just as much or more than the Stemline because you're getting equal diffusion and more taste because of the perc with a less airy feel. SGW could use a more solid base on their glass though. The Syn Showercap wouldn't be bad, I'd go full size. Or the SG King Stemline. Maybe a Toro Circ or Micro Circ, could get arms instead. I'm also one of the few to say I don't mind a RooR with an Alex K, SG or Leisure downstem, etc. It's nice to switch up downstems. It's just a minor pain having an extra piece to handle/clean with older diffusion technology. Still though I've been on the fence of biting the bullet for a while now, I just really don't need more glass.
haters gonna hate. get your lungs punched? what? since i've been using my SG king i lost my weed smokers cough & it's smoothest bong i've ever hit personally...the difference between it and other tubes is as noticeable as day and night
My mini king down grid is pretty damn smooth, has a great deal of diffusion, and still allows you to get the full taste of your flowers. Two chambers kill way to much taste, and I have no idea how someone could think a damn dome perc is better than a gridded perc of any designe. I personally think bubblers are smoother than bongs in most cases, I would say my microverter and CRS gridded circ are smoother than my mini king by itself, but mini king + Toro circ ac is smooth as butter man, much better than Toro Circ + Circ ac imo.. I would say stalk aqua lab till a king comes up, same price as the other stemlines but 72 points of diffusion.
There is all different type of stemlines 50mm version 2(i have) 60>32mm mp king minis The bigger the bore, the more airy toke, less the more condensed and concentrated toke= you higher. I get higher off my stemline than my huge at least 75mm bore beaker. Stemline provides a smooth ass toke, whatever one it is. Some people just hate because there not sucking on a stemline, sorry bro. Oh when you see big huge chunks of sludge form inside your bong, you'll love your stemline even moar, that huge glob of what looks like reclaim, could be in your lungs. No snob here, just literally the stemline is the pinnacle of a noob smoker and even a pro. There is still many reputable tubes, like a syn showercap etc, but you might as well go for the sov, badass clean ass no wavy lines crazy fucking work, spotless, it's a work of art..
My friend punched through my PH(x)'s joint, shit might as well be China Glass man. (This was 2006, back when I thought PH(x) was highend too)
No we are fucking glad we didn't buy one of those. a Stemline is twice the bong the hd will ever be. Maybe the double honeycomb makes it run for it's money. We don't try to bash really any companies, but just rather telling it how it IS. Us Real HEADS know wasssuuupp hombre We obv at one point at time wanted the honeycomb, but then i kept watching videos and the bubbles 85% of the time would just go straight up and not diffuse properly. Phx has been told whats wrong, i even did on fb and they blocked me.
yeah those HD's are a total waste of money other than a novelty item for snobs. im gonna jump on the bandwagon and say SG all the way. The best hitting tube ive ever tried was a stem to 8 with 2011bc a/c. So impossibly smooth with barely any drag, although you cant really taste much with that much diffusion but its nice when smoking regs and mids.
Anyone from Houston can attest to the fact that money doesn't assure you good bud. At least you can have nice glass shipped to you and enjoy smoking the shitty bud a little more.
