...does diffused mean the little slits at the bottom of the stem? I got mine from ALabs just last week and the downstem has them.

I gotta say I am very happy with it. The size is just right. (just a note, they describe the size as 8-9 inches tall, mine is actually just shy of 10 inches) Hits very smoothly. Very easy to clean. I actually got mine before my WDZ came in, and decided to smoke a couple of one hit bowls through it. Very nice. I was concerned that the bowl was too big and wouldn't be good for smallish one hit loads, but it tapers nicely at the bottom to accommodate this. (great hits, great buzz, but I was quickly reminded of why I am switching to vaporizing 
) After that, it was easy to disassemble, wash in ISO and sea salt, and voila all of that skanky smoke smell was gone! Now that I've got my vape, I've been using it with hot steamy water (thx lwein! 
) and it works like a champ. It's neat to actually see the vapor this way.
I would definitely buy again or recommend to a friend.
PS: I forgot to mention that this thing just feels good in the hand. (especially with the hot water.) The bottom of the beaker has a nice concave "punt" to it. It feels like quality.

Well I just got my mini in the mail. Its a little diffferent than the picture. It has small beads along the rim
Also not a diffused down stem... Not sure how I feel about that... I might shoot them another e-mail. Never got a response from my original question asking about the downstem.
EDIT:
Wow, got a response in about 3 min even though its after hours:

You can send it back and we will send you out the exact size with diffused slits.
Make sure to include a note with your name and telephone number.
Great response!

how long is the down stem of the HVY beaker? Only reason I ask is that ALT doesn't have anymore diffy down stems in stock and I wanted to purchase a diffy down stem separately, I was told by the website it is 3.5 inches, is this correct? Also is the HVY still worth it without the diffy downstem?

Too bad; i checked also. Meanwhile I'm loving my Soul Shine Family bong - that was around the same price, $60, and intend to experiment with very warm water tonight; I'll post my findings tomorrow at the latest. Thanks, I probably would not have considered anything but ice cold water, as this was the way we did it in the misspent youth days with homemade bongs from suburban golf ball tubes.
