Hey guys, sorry if this is in the wrong place but it seemed like the best section. I just picked up a Da buddha about 2 weeks ago, and have liked it so far, but am looking for a water piece that can hooked up to it, as well as be used on its own.
Preface: I have had a few sub 150$ pieces, none with percs or anything fancy so I can't comment on whether I would prefer tree, dome, spiral or showerhead, in the tube or in an ashcatcher. I've read through many threads here and people seem to split between standalone bubblers, and tubes.
So far I have semi-decided on a few qualities.
-Tube (beaker bottom, or the most stable/least prone to break)
-12-18 inches at the max
-Under 150 (I know, low price point, but have seen some pretty good pieces under this price)
-Can have percs, or the addition of a percolated ash catcher would be nice.
-must have ice.
I have found about 5 tubes I am considering.
On the cheaper end,
1). Generic 5mm tube, $50 http://www.gogopipes.com/Glass_Water_Pipes_Glass_On_Glass_Water_Pipes.html
2). Plain C2 beaker http://www.brotherswithglass.com/C2_Custom_Creations_Beaker_Clear_p/bwg-cc3c.htm
3). Beaker from SSFG $85

4). Zob beaker 110 http://www.brotherswithglass.com/Zob_14_in_Blue_Label_Beaker_Water_Pipe_p/bwg-zg14bk.htm
5). Tree perc syn 120 http://www.brotherswithglass.com/SYN_Rasta_Label_Double_Perc_p/bwg-synp18-ras.htm
Possibly an EHLE tube? Black leaf has some nice pieces, but opinions seem mixed around here. Suggestions or recommendations would be much appreciated.
