It is a joy in reverse, and the glug is satisfying. I just use mostly 18mm and wonder.

The Influx really interests me. Like, that is a water trick. I would love a CC piece that wows folks with the water. But my goodness the Vertex is easy on the eyes. The Calypso’s pump and dump is kinda perfect for the smooth hits. But pump and dump isn’t really the coolest thing to watch...

Almost sold on the Vertex. Uh… I have exactly THAT Calypso. Best glass piece I own. Just… it doesn’t do any neat water tricks. You know? The Vertex may fix that bugaboo. So the Xeric is just a brilliant J-hook that stands? Isn’t the Prophet even cooler for that trick? Another Vertex...

So… like, what is the neatest CC piece? I got two that do specific jobs, but what are the showpieces? The ones that impress the friends? I mean, mind do already but you know what I mean.

Holy smokes this has been a long journey. I remember ordering a Prophet and Calypso too, and around the exact same time as you, we had a laugh about it like 14 years ago! 😂 My drop down matches my dark green Prophet, and I got the green Calypso, so it is lighter than yours. The drop down...

Gotta agree. It isn’t cheap, but especially the 18mm is worth the money. It keeps that open 18mm airflow unlike so many other ash catchers that constrict quickly to 14mm, so it really doesn’t change an open draw much at all… although it will take a fraction of a second longer to clear the glass...

I am on the fence about the carb hole and ultimately I am happy I don’t have to hold the Prophet every time I hit it. Also you can run it with water backwards. A simple pass through does the trick if you need to carb. But it would be a slight adjustment.

Having read this entire thread a few times (exactly two) I am still confused as to your role with CC. Friend? Family? I really get the sense you have played a role in their designs or as a liaison with the Chinese blowers. At worst, you keep appraised of CC’s goings on better than anyone...

Awesome. The pics are accurate so it isn’t like I was misled and I do keep ordering things in that color. In hindsight I wish my Prophet was light green as it does have some of the cactus shape and I have nicknamed mine the Happy Cactus already. Really pleased with how this dropdown works...

And my dark green (really should call it blue/green) ash catcher arrived. Delightfully open and 18mm all the way through so it doesn’t impact draw speed. Fits the Goo Roo, and really looks amazing on the matching Prophet. Does its job perfectly on the Calypso.

Fair. I’ll agree. How’s this? I am a fan of the marble and it should always be utilized.

On the road today with my Zeal and Calypso. Compact. Travels well. Usually go with my metal bong for trips but it was too hard to give up the Calypso for a few days! They should just make the opal stock and build it into the price. Can’t imagine a Calypso without one. It is kinda the signature...

I can happily report since receiving my Calypso last week, it works just like I had hoped. Quite small. Like, the same footprint as a Prophet. The pump and dump isn’t as fancy as some of the water tricks we see with other CC pieces. But it is still mesmerizing to watch the water move and...

I run straight 18mm and it is remarkably open and smooth. Quick hits. This piece is so awesome. Got the green bubble trap with opal and both mouthpieces matching. That may have been a special edition color. Fumed is cool. Dark green is mostly blue. I would rename it but pictures are fairly...

The Calypso is designed for heavies and ball vapes. It is pretty small. Very open draw. Good filtration. And you can preorder. And you can connect a whip like a hookah.
