I'm thinking something like this? Maybe with a male top instead of the female, or whatever you guys decide.

Exactly what I was describing, save for the angled side joint, make that a straight right angle and the top an 18mm male like you said and that'd be perfect (or do we like angle joint?)

Yeah @Bongologist like a UFO but reversed, since the mouthpiece would be on the top and the vapor would come through the side instead

That gline is also kind of what I was envisioning, but with the right angled side joint just like @Shit Snacks said.

Was a little confused by the cobra can, but I think I get it! That is also similar to what I'm describing, I dig a wide base with low height when I think of a "base"

@Shit Snacks I never ever use my EVO inverted either lol, but if I were to turn it upside down, it's certainly the biggest inverted vape from my experience, was more or less just trying to say make sure we have ample room for clearance so it could be all inclusive. If it can clear the EVO, it could clear anything! I understand though how logistically it's a bit more Pita lol but I even have certain logs that aren't compatible with certain pieces as a result of clearance, would hate for it to be too close and having to put extenders/adapters on it. I am sure there is a relative distance that would work for most vapes though

Maybe I'll try a sketch later :) I am a really bad drawer but could be fun! It certainly wouldn't be to a perfect scale, but I may do some measuring when I get home to get a better idea than the rough sketch in my mind

Haha yeah, I think we're trying to plan for room here, may not quite fit an inverted Evo but should certainly fit logs... I guess some logs are pretty big aren't they? was just reading in the HI thread how that shape came about and took over for the toasty top mostly bc it works easier with water tools being so small and narrow, though I did just have him make my HI a custom curvy one, so I guess I have to agree we do need some room for these... Zion also can be tricky, so yeah I guess an ample right angle joint would be good (though that angled one on ioffer would allow most any vape to connect, but you'd have to hold them ofcourse)

100% man, I was going to mention the Zion as I heard they required a little extra space or were a bit finnicky with some pipes (I think it was actually one of your posts?) but I don't have experience with it. I tried using my Herbalaire inverted yesterday and really could only get it going with some of my pieces that had angled joints like that ioffer one.

There really isn't a huge amount of differential between the logs, but enough that I've bumped my forehead on a handful of them, and sometimes have to add an adapter here or an adapter there for clearance.

http://i.imgur.com/S7hmCUo.jpg You can guess which one causes most issues, but even that one is not that much wider.

I even used to have a piece that my Lotus didn't work on! The distance between the joint and the tube was just small enough that the Lotus cap couldn't really fit on!

Yeah Zion has its body, but more importantly the control top where the button and dial are, any right angle joint solves that though, its more of an issue for a 187 or UFO type can, but a long enough adapter solves it, and those may need to be custom made anyhow.

Yeah I don't think we need to account for inverted Evo or HerbalAire here bc they use whips well too, but our designs should be compatible with most logs I think.... But you do have a lot of variety over there! I think Lotus is notorious for being unable to clear many pieces actually, that wide disk top gets in the way

Third drawing of the basic HT. Taller/more volume in the main can, shortened the height and length of mp, horizontal slots in bottom drip catcher, noted importance of 18mm joint being flush (for Evo users).
Any other changes anyone?

most of these items are already in production and would be very easy to put together
the 5cm tubing would be a 50mm the 18.8mm female would be a dewar joint ( dewar seal )

the showerhead ufo perc on top would be a 36mm Showerhead which fits nicely in a 50x5mm tubing
the 30mm mouth piece may be an issue as there isn't 30mm tubing readily available you can try 26x4(schott) or 25x4(chinese) or 32x2.2(schott) or 32x4(chinese)

as far as the height unless you pull very hard you shouldn't get much splash back

if that is a concern you want to put a builtin splash guard under the mouth piece which would also make the piece spill resistant

The hope was to find common sizes and easily available parts. I'm glad my ballpark was close and I'll change the mouthpiece accordingly. I really appreciate the great info, thanks!

I actually would rather no spash guard for the mouthpiece, completely unnecessary complication imo, I think it's plenty tall enough and similar tubes dont have them, thats more of a straight neck mouthpiece thing anyway

Well, I don't have a ruler or any sort of accurate measuring tool in my house lol, my roommates tape ruler is MIA. So, I couldn't measure, and am an awful drawer, but I sure do like taking pictures!

I think the dimensions of the Evolver Tube are pretty similar to what you're going with, and sure the dimensions of that bubbler below are somewhere online and I could probably procure something to measure, should just go get one as its a good tool to have lol. But just from an eye estimate, I think 2-3 inch (using google like 5-7 cm) right angled joint should suffice on the side of the, I reckon its about 5 cm across the bottom of my tube, and if the joint is that length I think you would have ample room for any vape. You could probably get away with an inch but I think 2 to be safe would be better :) 3 would probably be a little long but I'm not sure. Maybe right in the middle? Spitballing

These ideas are so bold flavored and got me fresh and fired up!

i was actually thinking to make the piece as short as possible hence the splash guard plus the smaller the piece the cheaper it will be for shipping as overseas shipping can get very expensive and tall skinny pieces make me nervous

Ah yea but then you can't put as much water in and less volume for vapor too, would be kinda annoying for me personally... Is that a different perc type you drew though? Honeycomb?

I vote no splashguard/taller on dedicated Hydratube and splashback shouldn't be a problem with the "stax" type of Hydratube.

For me personally, splash guards have never been anything but an annoyance (can't free flow hot water while cleaning through a splashguard)

i am all for the UFO perc. But would anyone be down for a double ufo perc in it?

Like this : http://imgur.com/es58RTo

also if we could post some pictures of the mouthpiece style options and vote that would be cool :tup:
Click to expand...

Ah we could try a double for one of the tubes down the line, kinda like a matrix then really.

I don't think there really are any mouthpiece "options" to vote on? We were just talking about the splashguard that one of us would like...

I was thinking the mouthpiece would be like the D020 style. I think the only other choice would be the flat straight fab style and that is probably a bit heavy for this piece. Like everything, I'm open to any suggestions and pics always help.

The First piece I got from dhgate for $17.

I like even a smaller opening than a D020.
That is why a fitting is better to use your preferred piece.

Holy hell am I envious of all that background scenery! Looks like good weather!

As far as mouthpieces were concerned, I'm not all too picky. I'd like more of a bong style than a kiss style if that makes sense, but the standard seems to be the latter and I'd make do with whatever!

i really like the flat straight fab style. Then big bong style. D020 isn't bad. But thats just my preference :2c:

Regarding the bottom splash guard / recessed joint area. Are we going with vertical or horizontal slits? The horizontal seem to work well in the Vapexhale tubes but if we go with vertical would an increase in number of slits (say 5-6) improve performance?

We had already decided on horizontal bc vertical defeated the purpose of the guard.

What is straight fab?

I think a wide style would be good, thick too, D020 style works for me

yea thats a ratchet perc design

you see how it functions here

very similar to a UFO perc except the sides are welded to the wall - its a bit more complicated than your standard showerhead design

also if more volume is the goal why not go with a bigger can? like a 60x5 or 65x5? both are pretty standard sizes in china - some shops may even have 75 or 85x5

Ah yeah my first china glass was actually a ratchet, D020-T, was not such a fan, sold it once I got the same thing with an inline honeycomb. So much smoother... I also really like the showerhead now that I have it, but its been a while so a good idea to try again. That's basically what the vxl turbine is right? Let's add ratchet to the perc variation list for sure

A wider can would be harder to clear more vapes with, and harder to fill perhaps... I dono I have an easier time with my narrower cans
