Quick Overview of Accessories:
14mm Low-Pro downstem (6(ish)"):
Well the stem of it does not fit into the joint... the ground glass part of it is the correct size however the ground part is, for lack of better words, swells... Cant get a new one b/c I cant get in touch with sam... Not much more to say here...

At First Sight?
Well as soon is i opened it i tried to downstem out. doesn't fit. What sold me was that i have 'co-own' a PHX for combustion. As far as a combustion pieces go... this one rocks. i dont like it to vape, but it belonged to a late homeboy (the bong is about 9 years old lol). But anyway, it means alot and i wanted to be able to use it again. This put a bad taste in my mouth... but Then i put water in the bubbler and seasoned the nail. Was flying high when on the 2nd dab i heard the crack. The nail lasted another ~25 smallish dabs. Another bummer. But I now have a lab-grade glass nail now (
haha). At this point i was happy and high but wanted to test water levels.
Flavor!
Bring out the MFLB!!! I did some tests... thats kinda why it took so long to write this lol. This M*f* is a flavor savor! with a low water level it has an almost pillar type effect. I love this for the beginning of the trench. With a bit more water there is a bit more staking. But whats cool is the distance it travels through water while still maintaining a low drag(tiny amount of total water I think). really cools the vapor well.
Here is where it get really cool lol. While tinkering i found if i want to hit an entire trench in one sitting, i can take some ice out of the freezer and let them melt for a min, when they melt enough to fit in the bub i put 2-3 in the neck (very carefully and holding it horizontally). the first hit will almost be a dry hit but will melt some of the ice. The second hit has just a bit of water, by the 4th or 5th hit, the ice has melted enough to all fit in the can. I usually poor a bit of water out at this point. but the last few hit has nice cool water and just the right amount of water. Just kinda cool thing i found (ill get a vid ups soon).
Wrapping up:
So as u can see, I like the perc lol. It is a fantastic bubbler imo. However i am apprehensive buying from them again b/c of the sub par accessories i received. It was kinda my mistake, never buy something for accessories. i didn't, it was about equal... but none the less, the purchase was a success from my eyes *just could have been crazy amazing lol.
