Sovereignty Gridded 180 vs Alex K Showerhead?

No perc? Alex K.

 

although ive never tried i would go with the alex k, will save you 20 dollars if im not mistaken and alex k shower head is a very very quality downstem

 

I'm in the same situation, and I'm going Alex K.

 

What I've figured out:

$150 for a quality strait tube
$40 for an Alex k down stem
$100 for a decent ash catcher
And you're in to it $290 total

Or.....just pick up something that rocks right off the bat like an sg king stem for $350ish and have a lot better rig.

Personally I went route 1 just because I couldn't afford to shell out $350 all at once, and I do like just having a simple tube so I can use it during parties with less worry than breaking out a sovereignty at a party...

Just realized that was way off track.....wonder why hahaha.
To answer your question, I'd just get the Alex k and save the $20. But both rock.

 

I'm actually picking up an Alex k. stem sometime this week. Im a fan of his work, and have an awesome bowl blown by him too. Personally, I prefer a nice straight tube, being that I like to change stuff up a lot.

 

for both of you i would pick up an alex k shower head down stem and also a mcfinns carbon filter or a locally blown carbon filter. will cut the cost a good amount and i personally prefer the carbon filter. much smaller, cleaner smoke, cleaner bong, better high and better taste if you ask me. less harsh

edit- carbon filter will cost you 60-70 tops aswell. local one will probly be around 40
