Glass Pieces and Breakage

[Haveth]

Hey FC!

Another hero has fallen, and has been laid to rest … so I am in the market for a new glass piece!
I’m sure this question has been asked a bunch, but I always like to hear the most recent reviews on new products. What are some of the highest quality pieces on the market (preferably NA made) currently, that do not cost $500-1000?
I do understand I will need to pay for quality, but I am also not looking for a “designer” piece. It is mostly about functionality to me! I am looking for something with a thick base/thick glass as many have fallen in the line of duty.

Thank you!!

Hey I recommend checking out the other glass threads for recommendations... (Start at the most recent pages of any thread and skim your way backwards to read the recent reviews) GooRoo 3piece (the regular one, not the HD3, which is larger, also mine has color frit base) is still actually one of my favorites though, but my new favorite US maker at a reasonable price is Texas Hot Glass (I have her contoured hollow foot rig)

One of the good glass threads for example :

Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Yeah I didn't want to mention the super slit donut specifically because it is so wide haha but I think the more basic smaller TAG rigs? Yeah, my other TAG piece has a larger base so I am no help lol.

Thick Ass Glass is what it says and they do a pretty good job with frequent discounts on their site.

I have heard of them a while ago, glad to see they’re popular and worthwhile. Will definitely check them out tonight!

I like how the following can be used as a hammer,

Tank Glass | USA

Simply superior glass. Tank beakers are hand blown in Los Angeles, CA and made to last.

are there taste differences using a metal piece versus glass?

 

[Vehmic]

I think so to a small degree, but ymmv.

 

[LesPlenty]

are there taste differences using a metal piece versus glass?

I would not think so with the bong, vaporizer heater element or dabbing surface, yeah, Ti is different than quartz etc.

i dropped a 9mm straight tube bong from us tubes out of the window of a lifted jeep at 10mph onto pavement and it survived.
if you're looking for standard prodo pieces like beakers and straight tubes you're not gonna find better for the price. they don't have the most interesting designs though.
