Ohhhh I thought you meant you wanted a blazemaster. I couldn't ever go back to the two piece design. But that's me.

@SteveBeast:
Yeah - That looks pretty good thanks
I'm probably going for something like that - its pretty neat to have a case and then opening it up and presenting your "wand". Hahaha - My Lightsaber!

the silver ones are gun cases the brown one is a padded out cigar box it tholds the inline, a shelock adapter ,and a slide. the green ones are kits from the hobby lobby. the jars in my stash box are from their paint dept.
Hey guys my friend just got one of these and he says pulling through his illadelph bong with the wand is like sucking a golf ball through a garden hose. He doesn't have any problems normally in terms of combustion, but just with the heat wand. Is there any way to increase the air flow? THanks a bunch.
karazi - you gotta change the screens frequently or soak them in iso overnight. i always have great airflow that way.

How many perks and stuff does he have? People were saying the more perks and such the more "drag."karazi said:
StoneMonkey, is there any other way to clean it without ISO or changing the screens? Does this come in the instructions? I haven't bought mine yet, jw
. Also what do you recommend I get with it? I'm probably going to buy a decent bong, would you be able to give some good advice to a noobie about what I should get or sway away from? thanks .Also stevebeast, were those cases expensive? Do they do the job? Where could I get a case for my vriptech, when I receive it? The case on their site is pretty expensive, and I'm getting a normal bong probably too, so I doubt that would fit in it.

Totally agree lol - nice cases ^^SteveBeast said:

very true
From time to time it is seems way to easy to get thick vapor then i realize the screens need changing
then i have to remember that the airflow is less restricted and to hit it slower

those cases are 20.00 http://shortyusa.com/index.html?RID=4328 they really just hold the wand and the slides i use a different case for the bong. the cases on the vrip site are pretty pricey but they are pelican cases and very tough, you could use the opteke case as a cheaper option http://cgi.ebay.com/Opteka-OPT-HC15...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item53de59572a
they are both pretty small i consider the vwt a small bong both of those cases are too small for anything i have (had to sell my vwt cause i got sick of my freinds asking if their daughter can have it when i die) if you want a bigger bong check out the home depot and get a bunch of foam and a toolbox.

Thanks man, much appreciated. I got this 60$ case with my Extreme, but it seems kinda cheaply made. The locks aren't lined up 100%, and the foam insifr has panels which I just moved today, and they like don't line up correctly haha I love the case though, it's great for everything. I'll deff look into getting one for my vhw when I get it.stevebeast said:
Btw what vhw setup do you have? I'm not 100% sure on what I need, and on the site they have a short warranty, do you find it lasts long, or how long have you had yours?
I will probably buy a PHX Trinity or something of the like, my friend has one and it's sick, or I would get a custom, I know the drag increases, but I really like the bong, and if my vhw broke I would have to just use the bong, so having a good one is key
.Thank you for answering questions for a noobie

i have had mine about 10 months, i got 2 of the wands 2 14mm gong vcb and a 18.8 slide that the wands fits pretty good, neither have had a problem and they have gotten a lot of use and much of it from idiots. i am truly surprised i havent had to replace anything. when i saw the disclaimers on the page i thought they just break but i have dopped it, banged it, you name it you name it and its still kicken.
I like the phx they have a honeycomb diff i would love to pick up, a little pricey and i didnt like the black top on the ones i have seen but there is a honeycomb comming soon. i would like to find someone who can make a worked version of the vrip 2 peice bowl even if its one piece, i like the distance it puts the wand at and imo it works better than just a bowl big enough to get a seal on. well thats the real expence of the vhw it comes with a glass addiction that lasts at least 10 months, it also goes thru the herb those thick milky hits dont come out of thin air, but it is still more efficient than combustion.

Okay so what are the 2 14mm gong vcb and the 18.8 slide? What's the "glass addition for 10 months?" What is the 2 piece bowl you were talking about haha?stevebeast said:
You also said that it uses a lot of herb, but is it more efficient than a regular bong?
stevebeast

Okay you got the vhw that is the wand then there is the vcb wich is the bowl that the wand fits on. there is an upper and lower part that fit together. they come in 14. and 18 mm glass on glass and 9 and 10mm slides, depending on the bong you plan to use. you can use a regular bowl if its big enough that the tip of the wand fits in it and seals to the silicone ring. Some have had custom bowls made to fit the wand. then there is the bong or bubbler.
the glass addiction, its a joke once you get a nice peice of glass its hard not to become a "collector" cause you want more better, cooler bongs then the ashcatchers and accesories come in.
a vaporizer is always more efficient tha cumbustion. Regular bongs or cumbustion use a lot more, a pinch i could sink in one hit with a lighter i can hit 4 or 5 times with the vrip. but this vape is designed to give thick big hits so you get less hits. like i can sit and do a lot of little hits of my hotbox or i can do a few big ones with the vrip

so theres the vhw, the bowl it sits on then the 2 part slides? I'm guesing that's where oytu put the bud?
If you could show me each piece that would be awesome, thanks again for all your help, I really appreciate it.

no problem
the bowl is a 2 part slide. there is the lower bowl where you put your bud. that has to be compatible with your bong the upper bowl fits over the lower bowl and is like a glass funnel that the want fits into.
if you look on the vriptech site http://www.vriptech.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=VR&Category_Code=VHW
scroll down twards the bottom you see you can get just the wand or the wand and the bowl and the different types and sizes they carry

I see Vaporization Chamber Bowl Shorty w/14.4mm ground joint "GonG" lower bowl stem for 60$ is that both? Does that come with it initially?stevebeast said:

the 60.00 is for both and they do not come with it initially. if you scroll down further you can see what just the lower bowl looks like its 29.99 and the picture for the upper has the wand with it its 29.99 (labled upper intake shorty) you can also get an upper bowl that fits a heat gun

So this thing really costs like 250 with all of the stuff....

yeah. the wand is 170 the vrip bowl is 60 and you still need a bong or bubbler to put it in. you can skip the vriptec bowl and find something cheaper (if you can fit a quarter in the top of the bowl it will work) but it isnt that much cheaper and imo the vrip bowls are worth it. thats the glass addiction i want to try a bunch of different bowls, bongs, ashcatchers.....

Does it come with a stand? I would need to buy one of those then. I saw someone had a stand, was it you? That was black and said something on it, Idk. I think I'm going to get a PHX Trinity, it's like a 350$ bong, or a custom one, I don't know yetstevebeast said:
