It's a good time to talk mouthpieces. I don't make mouthpieces, I have to source them from various possible places. Wood stems are easy, @Alan will make whatever you can basically dream of, in many different wood options. You can go directly to him, or order with your Lil' Bud.
What comes with the unit is a long glass stem. I am not a glass cutter, and this is basically what I've found so far. It's quite functional, will get the job done really well, and comes with the bare bones unit. I like amber, but that seems to be the hardest to find. I can find blue cobalt, and lake green, once I can get amber, I'll stock up. I may look into getting the tubes cut, the supplier won't do it, but maybe locally.
Glass can be weird, see that amber short stem in the middle unit, bottom pic? It's the only stem that doesn't fit these 3 units. Not sure why, but it's probably just a drop large. When I drill the holes out, I test with a couple of different stems before I'm satisfied. Things like this always shock me. Notice Alan's stems sitting perfectly in their counterpart female joint.
By the way, these are my 3 stooges who are going to get used like crazy all weekend. I wish I had some amateur vapists coming over to trash the shit out of them and see how they hold up. That will happen soon enough, just maybe not tomorrow. I'll do my best.
I gotta mention, the grain on that walnut unit is sick (lower pic, left unit), can't see it so much from the front. I'm going to be on the look out for swirly grain patterns, and then couple with some really dark walnut. I'm glad I went with the low profile switch, it takes up lots of room inside the unit, but not as stealth on the outside.
Let the testing begin!
