3 mm is for heaters, too small for cooling balls, clogs up air flow... min ~ 6 mm best

Looks like they have 11” hooks now. I’ve only seen the 8ish inch and smaller ones.

I would like to get a J-Hook for my Vapman (Swiss OG) as I am going to buy a Vapman glass WPA from VGoodiez. Since I don't know yet if I like J-Hooks at all (I don't have one yet), I don't want to spend too much money and would order from DHGate first.
However, after reading through this thread, I'm still not sure which J-Hook is best for the Vapman.
This one has been mentioned a lot, but I don't know if the Vapman has enough clearance:
Or would something like this be better?
Any other recommendations?
Thank you very much!

Vapman user here: I have two simple J-Hooks in the style of the second link, but without the cooling dimples (one of them is the official Lotus J-Hook). I am very happy with both of them. But I'm still struggling with my Vapman glass WPA. The first one broke and I don't trust the second one to last a lifetime either.
In case you decide for the pipes in the first link – tell me your experiences
But I would clearly opt for a thin mouthpiece.

I'm a little paranoid every time I use the Vapman WPA! The glass is so thin at the adapter end. I've never come across a piece quite like it - I definitely wouldn't trust it under sort of strain.Vapman user here: I have two simple J-Hooks in the style of the second link, but without the cooling dimples (one of them is the official Lotus J-Hook).

It's worth it for the simple pleasure of running the Vapman through a J-hook though

Thank you, good to know the simple ones work. And yes, the WPA doesn't look very sturdy - i just seems to be the only glass WPA as far as I can see.

Thanks, I'll share my experiences here in case I'll get one of these. While I like wide mouthpieces for my water pipes, I think for the J-Hook I will go with a thin one.

Thanks, since @186° shared the same worries I guess it's worth to be careful with that WPA. I'll just give it a try.
Thank you, very good input, I only just noticed that too.

I'd suggest the Lotus j-hook, $20 at Vgoodiez. It's small but plenty big enough to cool a Vapman and it's angled perfectly for using a Lotus, in case you end up with one of those too. The also have the elev8 one which looks great for $17.

Thank you very much, I saw the Lotus j-hook on VGoodiez earlier and it already caught my eye because of the look. Well, I was just about to complete my order at VGoodiez at that moment, then saw your post and was now able to add the Lotus j-hook as well before they send out my package later today. Let's see, if I'll like j-hooks then I'll get the elev8 later and/or order some of the others from DHGate.

I hope you enjoy it! It's smaller than I'd use for hotter vapes, but for the Lotus and Vapman I think it's perfect. It's small enough to fit a small semi-hard case so it's reasonably portable.

Sounds perfect for my needs - thank you!

Yeah and this one is worth trying, if you want, great with the TM, and I do think VM should be able to clear it, maybe we can confirm
El Duderino
The Dude abides.
Oh cool, thank you very much, that's good to know. I really want to try out the TM with a j-hook anyway, so it would be ideal if it would also work with the VM.

Yeah I mean myself and many others started using a basic hook with TM, plain backwards RBT stems as WPA, definitely changed the game but it changed even further when I got even better hooks and fancy cooling stems

Ok, I’m convinced. Just ordered.

Nice! Yeah really nice one-handed use with the TM too, you have the other hook for VM coming, we'll see if they are also all cross compatible for even more fun! Good prices
El Duderino

Yeah, great, I’m looking forward to experimenting.
Sorry for OT, but what WPA do you recommend for using the TM with a hook? I think you told me once before, but I can't remember which thread that was....
EDIT: Never mind, found it. This:
TMS03 18mm TinyMight WPA
18mm TinyMight WPA This is a simple 18mm WPA for the TinyMight Comes with 2 rimless basket screens
With these:
Replacement Screens
Well made stainless steel screens for many devices The TM screens are cut to fit a variety of stems including the stock stems as well as the ones made by The Rogue Wax Works and other artisans Price is per screen

I recently picked up a TAG 18mm j-hook, and wow, it's a beast of a thing. Heavy, thick glass. Just makes my other j-hooks feel like toys ;-)
But yeah, very impressed with the cooling from it. The sheer thermal mass of the glass seems to do a lot.

Recently bought a couple of GVB j-hooks and feel the same way. The “thick walled glass” description was fully explained once I had them in hand. Quality, heavy glass and worth the extra cost.

I finally got my ceramic project back from the kiln. I was intending on it to be 18mm, but it shrank more than I expected. Not a major problem as it works perfectly with 14mm and a silicone adapter. I'm super pleased with how it turned out.

I bought the Couchlog pipe Jhook thing. It's fantastic. I love how it comes with a base that's magnetic. Holy hell it makes things easier. Pricey sure but classy AF too.

Fair. Thing is it’s pretty dirty at the moment so I’ll hook you up with older pics if that’s cool. Also some playful pics includedThink we gonna need some pics
I have only used it with the couchlog so far. Sorry for being a shitty photographer.
