@Cannabis Connoisseur ,
I'm not a fan of straight neck either (nor of open mouthpieces). I bought a Hydraline hydratube and loved it EXCEPT the straight neck and open end.
Here's an option:
I had
@Ratchett make an adapter for ANY open /big mouthpiece. Then an
@Oregonglassblower bent glass mouthpiece. The great thing is OGB will do it custom---length, type of bend, etc.
You can also run a whip off the Ratchett plug.
IMO, the more options the better.
Like the whip---I almost never use for just me but for a group, it makes hitting
it WAY easier.
