Pipe Terminology

Great write up.
Nail- ~NOT A HARDWARE NAIL~ Comes in different mm sizes to fit your water pipe joint. Heated up and used to vaporize extracts. Come in glass, quartz, and titanium. Glass=Not great heat retention, breaks easy/Quartz=*I've heard good flavor* stronger than glass, possible worst heat retention of the 3./Titanium=Longest heat retention by far, strongest of the 3. Nicer ones are adjustable to several pieces where as glass and quartz dimensions can't be altered. ~Some nails need to be seasoned~

This made me laugh my ass off

 

Damn Sweeney that's a lot to read. This should be a sticky. Did you mention a recycler?
Edit.
A recycler let's water flow down to the first perk so it works properly.
Pillar - brings the bubbles closer up to your mouth, when the bubbles poo that close the flavor is kept better.

 

Pipe Terminology?

also for defintions:

(this image can be used for both defintions)
push bowl bubbler/ carb bubbler- bubbler with the bowl pushed into it, has an attached downstem to the bowl and a carb or shotgun on the side to clear it. the advantage is that it is one piece, the disadvantage is that it is one piece. that is to say, it makes hard to clean.


snorkel carb- a type of carb or shotgun that connects to the middle section of the chamber of the bubbler and extends outwards, then upwards towards the bowl of the bubbler. this "L" shaped extension helps the bubbler chamber to clear better and makes it more comfortable to use. it tends to be on heady push-style bubblers.

 

I definitely agree that this is sticky worthy. Perhaps a more flashy thread title so that people are more inclined to click on it.

 

Dichro? Wig wag? Implosion? Millie? Reti? I think it also might be worth mentioning that an inverted showerhead is sometimes referred to as a showercap.

 

Ti skillet and vapor curves

 

pics would definitely help it's chances of a sticky.. and alphabetical order too.

 

Of corse man congrats on the sticky

 

I think a glossary of different worked terms would be cool. I see them thrown around a lot, wigwag, reversal, filacello, etc but I have no idea what most of them mean.

 

I can't tell you how they're made and I'm pretty bad at describing how things look, but heres pictures to help you differentiate them.

Reversal/wigwag: Terms are generally used interchangeably but from what I understand this is a wigwag and this is a reversal:

wigwag:
reversal:

Retticello: overlapping lines that go in different directions


Fillacello: Same things as a retti just with the clear spaces filled in with color

Basketweave: Sections of flat cane cut off and the npieced back together to make it look as though it were weaved together



Disc flip: when you draw an image onto a bubble backwards then flip it around to reveal the picture




I'm happy to add more if you need any

 

That was perfect, thanks. Heady examples too

 

We need good examples of electro form, moss, dicril(sp?), fuming.. I would help but I'm using a phone AP. Bi-polar coloring. I like this thread. If only I had this when I started learning. Good idea OP!

 

Ice pinch!
