Holy crap, that's a cool stem Stu. Good to hear Cleardome is still blowing glass btw, been a while since I've seen him around here. If you ever get him to make such a thing for your Solo please order one for me as well 
Can we get a video of it in action perhaps? I'd love just to see it bubble.

Damn, may gave to get me PD, LOL!Stu said:
Thanks all. I had one stem that was the smoothest I've ever had out of my PD. It's a very different sensation than a regular stem as you get to feel the chug and see the vapor form in the chambers.
Unfortunately, I'm an idiot and in trying to empty the water I got a bunch through the bottom of the stem.
So it's drying out now.
I can see immediately that I need to be careful and shouldn't ever try to empty the water until my session is done. Lesson learned.
I'll try to post a vid soon.

Stu said:Pappy said:I've gotten into standing, which is why I weened myself off bent necks. Physiologically, I believe standing is a much sounder posture for inhalation from a medical perspective. I came to this conclusion after lots of trial and error. I don't cough as much or suffer from as many infections as I did when I bonged sitting.
Plus, he can dance around while doing the patented "Pappy 10 count"
The videos certainly wouldnt be the same with out it. Infections.....ayee
. Never got one from vaping thats for sure, sorry to hear that though. I dont think that there is any arguing that standing or sitting with a straight posture is "the better" way to go. That being said, I still regularly like to just be lazy, chill out, and just max on the couch with a mad lean on bong vaping. 
PS I totally hope u actually made those shirts!!! What kind of effect u have on your face? Looks like water ripples or something, very suiting. PSS also a fan of your glass pendants, been thinking about picking myself up one, kinda similar to your blue/green wig wag one. Any chance you will sport one in your next vid???That inline pd stem is soooo sweet. I found the pd too hot for me, and always needed water filtation with it. This is so absolutely perfect, gotta tell the bros woman to kiss CDs ass. It has been interesting to watch his work improve, and it looks so nice now!
Edit: got any errl in that dish yet pappy??

Hey Pappy,
You have a collection to aspire towards; strong work!
So I am within two VHW bowls of having the gumption to hit "send" on that Mobius Nano. I really like the size/form... Is the Zero Drag perc in the Mobius Nano more of a chugger or a smoother finer bubbling design?
Now that I am feeling the difference between the different diffy's and such; I think I prefer the smoother, less gurgling, less splashing styles which still have excellent diffusion. I feel like the smaller finer bubbles Hisi promotes as more effective, may actually be more effective; although I have no way to test this. But I am open to other brands, hence the Mobius...
A vertigo question: Will the 65/50 stem-less mini-inline to shower head bent neck tube hold one of the Vertigo 18mm 90* AshCatchers? Any advice between the Vertigo tree perc or showerhead versions? I don't have a shower head ash catcher, so I'm not sure if I will like it more or not?
Sorry for all the questions; I am really getting into dialing in my vaporizer set-ups and appreciate any and all advice.
thanks

^^that's a lot of diffusion for vapor. I don't know about you, but I'm definitely of the opinion that less is better. I've got a syn mini showerhead and honestly thats way overkill for vapor. compared to my other tube w/ a single hole downstem (18" beaker roor), I notice a significant increase in taste despite it being much larger. That said, my ideal vapor piece would be a micro bong: under 10 inches w/ a tube dia less than an inch, maybe a small beaker bottom, and a 14mm single hole downstem.

You make a very good point. I can see how more diffusion would equal less taste and even potency if I've read correctly.
I used to only vape-bong; then subscribed to the: nothing to filter out of vapor camp, and ditched the glass. Up until a month ago I was content sucking down turkey bags of vapor; but when my Herbalaire broke and I went back to my back-up which is a whip I realized I could not vaporize as much as I needed without my throat catching on fire. Out came my old glass plus a little water and my sorethroat from continous vape sessions went away. Then I decided to buy a 3-tree perc ash catcher for my old straight tube; left the LHS with the AC and a new bent neck 12" tube. The vapor felt cooler and less irritating on the first hit. A week later I get my first Dome-perc Beaker which gave me even cooler vapor and no throat irritation. I will admit the monster inline ash catcher w/ 4-tree perc, plus dome perc is a little to big for any of my current pieces. I think this Large multi-perc'd ash catcher would be better on a larger straight tube or something big enough to keep it off the ground...
As for taste; I will start to monitor and post my personal opinion; but I think everyone will be different?
thanks for the feedback...

well, I just noticed a resupply of Mobius Nano's with Matrix percs; which was all the encouragement I needed to hit send!
I can't wait to get it here. I also ordered the downstem Pappy likes to try it out.
Thanks guys. Pictures tomorrow for sure; I've been really busy with work.

While more diffusion definitely does mean less flavor and potency, the super chuggy nature of single hole downstems arent the most enjoyable IMO
That's why what seems like the ideal vapor downstem would be a middle ground.
Something with two or three big holes, so the diffusion wouldn't be increased too much but it would hit a lot smoother.
Something like these US Tubes diffusers

Here is a link w/pics of the HiSi step-tip diffuser downstem: http://www.hisi-glass.com/product-part-ddf.php
It is from HiSI's website; but if it's any consolation, I do not have any affiliations with anyone in this industry... I just love these little diffy's that shoot jets of tiny bubbles in 16 different directions. Really cool under the faucet, little pressure and jets of water are shooting everywhere; that is what got my attention.
My HiSi Step-tip diffuser came stock on my hisi beaker; this downstem, to me, feels a bit less gurglie, with a noticeably smoother pull/(less drag)than my 6arm downstem and much smoother and way less gurrgling compared to my other after market downstem, which is a triple thick, with same hole pattern as us tubes above, plus a monster hole in the center. I found this monster of a downstem from a well know brand where the store owner sold it right out of the piece it was supposed to come with. Doesn't look easily replaceable either; I told him I felt bad, but he insisted... So now i use it for my newly acquired VHW3.0.
Anyways, enough rambling until I contribute pictures!!!

@ Mr. Smoke> Would never say my way or the highway. If you like to sit when you bong all the more power to you. I'll do anything to reduce the risk of strain or injury. I don't even like to cough when I vape. So now I stand and don't use hot bong water. I had a lung infection last year a pulmonary specialist ascribed to fungal. He thought hot bonging was the likely culprit. *No two bodies are alike so your mileage may vary. 
Still a virgin dish but that may change Saturday. I have a coffee pot full of brown honey oil evaporated from ISO and wand hash.
@ canna > never hit nano Matrix but zero drag perc perfect to me. Each chamber hits different, I love the asynchronous chug. That HiSi diffy looks nice.

Shipped it was $150. It's definitely not for everyone, or everyday use. But for special occasions it will be great and I'll get my money's worth out of it I'm sure. I got the last inline he had available, but he may be making more soon, idk.

Awesome Tstst !!!
I seem to be about a day behind you in the ordering schedule... Soeaking of which, I really like the Vertigo 65/50mm Mini inline-shower head, bent neck posted above. I got mine yesterday, I'm happy it made it in one piece. This is one sweet little tool, the Vertigo that is; I really like it attached to my SSV. It does great with the VHW as well, but I do have a small pill bottle ash-catcher off it, so that provides some face/Heat Wand clearance...
Now for my Mobius Nano w/Matrix Perc, I'm just hoping to have it by the end of next week, I ordered it wed/thur of this past week. I'm really excited by these sub-13" perc'd pieces.
Well, I'm off to figure out where too upload my pictures so I can get them posted on here. I'm sure a little reading and I'll have em going; but any instruction/help is appreciated.
thanks

Well my bubblers arrived Thursday, but I'm unsatisfied with the condition of my vertigo showerhead bub. There are white hotspots/imperfections on the tube and the gg joint and the joint is marked to shit. It looks like Preston made the showerhead itself (which is so sexy) and some guy on his first day assembled it. It's killing me with it sitting here and not being able to use it but I think I gotta send it back. This situation is new to me so I was just wondering what the normal protocol for handling this kinda thing was.
