Vaspe has this beauty available now, seems like a great vapor bub, even without seeing the perc, I love that open flow mouthpiece!

Thanks to @Shit Snacks for the encouragement, I picked up a Funkler. I love this piece. It's gorgeous from every angle and it has impeccable function.

I'm terrible at shooting glass but I suspect you all get the idea :lol:.

I've only used it with dry herb vapes so far, as you can probably guess from the clean banger. It's a little larger than my typical piece for dabs. Still keen to try it though.

Anyway, this felt like a steal and they were great to work with.

Gorgeous, man. It looks really refined, like each sections was given its perfect form!

How tall is this one? How's the function with your dry herb vapes? Anything noteworthy? Sorry for the 20 questions, I have one coming too (about 9.5"), I'm pretty excited!

The top of the mouthpiece is 10" and the top of joint is 7". It's a 14mm joint (which is amazing by the way. I never thought I would be this impressed with the construction of a joint.)

It's really great with the TM, Omega, and Halo so far. A nice easy pull gets everything going. It's not too large for dry herb, just a nice hit. I have dropped the ball not using it for dabs yet, but I'm just in a dry herb cycle again 😄.

I'm excited to see yours. Following Function Factory on Instagram is a bit dangerous because everything looks so amazing.

Awesome, so about the same size.

This sounds perfect, just what I was hoping for. I feel like it will get a lot of use.

Hah! Yes! There are some very creative pieces there! X out that tab!

I fell in love with one I found in a shop that is sorta more simple/traditional but has this blocky, faceted foot and is made with a blue-green bubble glass (Atlantis). It reminds me of my little HMK rig. Hope the color is nice, looks cool in the pic.

Yeah mine is around the same height as well, really really nice for vaping herbs, despite the narrower mouthpiece opening, the wide flow for the tubes really gives it a lot of airflow, and so much water, smooth pull despite the chug... Amazing quality too!

Thanks for bringing these up! I'm so glad to hear these are great dry herb pieces. You guys got me all excited now!

Look on the previous page or two I posted, I think he still has some pieces from that New Year sale although I'm not sure, need to check the story highlights and ask... He is relaunching the website so insta only for now maybe. I didn't see any mystery boxes from him although updog was doing them recently and has stuff available now

Anyone know of any good artists making old school JBD style beaker or bubble bottom tubes with silver / gold fuming? Not old school as in grommets and o-rings but the style if you know what I mean? Preferably smallish, I might be trying to relive my youth.

I was just down this rabbit hole and there is some fantastic stuff out there!


There's a ton more. look for 'old school fumed art bongs.'

There's also the soft-glass bongs which are kinda fun but less durable.

Yeah I'm not sure what you're looking for exactly, what JBD means, but you can get small basic fumed bongs like this from Jeremy Smith at such a great price! (Vassily Crettol does them too, larger ones, in another style, more expensive though) updog makes little ones as well, HMKglass makes some I've seen on IG as well... Guru Glass would do a custom for you, super thick tube glass, colors, collaboration fume prep from Zoot and others look really nice, he shared a lot of his prep drawers a few days ago and his custom list is open... Other artists mentioned here in this thread too! :tup:

Oh yeah that Vassily tube has a good look. I am just going to have to view from afar for now as I made a deal with myself not to make any bigger purchases until I get rid of something else. It's going to be hard as I like all my devices and glass that I have currently but I am not trying to purposefully build a collection at this time so I need to keep it under control hehe. But it gives me something to do that's low stress while I am stuck housebound.

I would like to see some of those if you ever get around to it. Maybe it will remind me of something I used to have. I was living in the southwest back when I had the big collection but I was a dumb ass kid and lost everything a couple times.

Couldn't resist the THG Fumed Inline Sherlock:
The pics of course can't do justice to the subtle tones, shades, and highlights; the gold fumed bands cover a range of oranges, pinks, and even purples with gold metallic highlights while the silver fuming creates ghostly blues that dance with the light and give a sense of dimension.

I'm usually not much for contoured glass but obviously here it interacts with the fuming so that the sum is greater than the parts. It's a wonderful use for this glass!

The inline perc is well-built; it is a pleasure with manually-controlled vapes as well as ballers. Texas Hot Glass, good stuff!

Glad you got that one! Such beautiful colors and textures.. she makes her inline perc gridded though, yeah? That's part of what kept me from that one personally lol

It is; the glass makes it a little difficult to see but it looks like 5 or so dots per slit. It doesn't feel overly diffused but I will have to test it some for flavor preservation.

Yeah honestly for me that sounds like way too much, it's not necessarily the diffusion, but the suction, I don't know my experience with those is just not so good unless you have wide open air flow, many variables!
