    The HI

    Boobs - what are you using to stir your bowl? I usually just use the sharp end of a bamboo skewer, but it doesn't do a great job pulling the unspent herb up to the top. I might be fogging up a Mobius Nano in the near future w/ my HI so I wanna be prepared :brow:

    Water tool < $250

    Thanks for the reply, havock. I should've been a little more specific in my OP - I'm looking for something a little smaller, ideally in the 11"-14" range. Although I'm really open to any offers, some of the pieces that have caught my eye during my search include the Mobius Nanos, HVY 9mm...

    Water tool < $250

    I previously had a thread looking for a piece of glass with a $75 budget. Although it would still be cool to get something super cheap, looking at this stuff long enough has me wanting something a little more. I'm now looking at anything up to about $250 shipped. Entertaining any and all offers...

    Too much diffusion?

    Would something like this http://aqualabtechnologies.com/scientific-glass/hvy-glass/hvy-glass-9mm-4-arm-beaker.html be too much diffusion for vapor, particularly my heavy-hitting HI? Is this considered a "double-chamber" piece? (the first chamber being the beaker bottom, the second being the...

    The HI

    I've only used mine direct draw so far, and I find that the position doesn't really matter that much so long as you use a small wooden dowel (or your pinky finger, or an e-cig, whatever) to tamp down the material slightly. This prevents the herb from falling out of the bowl regardless of the...

    Cheap High Quality Bubbler

    On grasscity.com, all three nautilus pieces are listed as having 5 mm glass. Are they really that thick? The only other thing stopping me from buying is the 18 mm joint. Any place to get an 18-14 reducer besides ALT?

    FS: ZOB 4 Arm Rasta Beaker Glass Bong

    Is this still available? Is it 14.4 mm? Do you have any real picture available yet?

    Upcoming glass sales?

    Problem is that I only have one LHS, and it was massively picked over last time I stopped in. Only one name-brand piece left (a 10" Grav Labs beaker) and most of the local stuff wasn't what I wanted, at least for the price.

    The HI

    PD stems won't fit into the HI by default. Specifically, the outside diameter of the SS tip in the PD stem is just a little too small, so the stem rattles around in the HI a lot, much more so than with the PD. Whether or not you'd still get even roasting, I'm not sure. Doubtful, given the...

    Upcoming glass sales?

    Anyone remember approximately how deep the discounts are? And whether sales start earlier in April, or right on 4/20? I'm assuming earlier, since ordering a new piece and getting it a week after 4/20 wouldn't exactly be in the spirit of the season. Just trying to decide whether to go w/ a local...

    Upcoming glass sales?

    Haha, I figured on 4/20 sales, but I thought I read something specifically about March.

    Upcoming glass sales?

    I feel like I heard that one of the major online glass retailers has a big sale around this time of year. Can anyone confirm that, and what the sale usually entails?

    ***Gamers*** What are you playing?

    I'm currently playing through the demo for Kingdom's of Amalur on PS3, and it seems really cool so far. Sort of of like a single-player World of Warcraft with real-time combat. I used to play WoW, but I can't deal with the scheduled raids/huge playtime requirements anymore, so this might be a...

    The HI

    Glad to see more people jumping on the train to HI-town, USA. I seem to be in a pretty selective club so far, but it's sounding like more HIs will be falling into the right hands in the very near future. Trust me, it'll be worth the wait :nod:

    The HI

    The HI is designed for 24/7 operation, as stated in the first post of the thread. Mom, I think our units run hotter on the outside due to their wood type/grain characteristics. At the max setting on the VV, mine feels too hot on the outside for me to feel comfortable about leaving it that way...

    The HI

    Either an extension cord, or figure out some way of minimizing the smell while still vaping inside. Maybe the old dryer sheet over a paper towel tube trick? I'm assuming you already vape, and know that vapor is generally far less smelly than smoke. BTW, my HI continues to impress. The crack...

    The HI

    13v sounds like about where I'd ideally want mine as well, at least when I'm craving the biggest possible hits. The Jameco 10081 (aka the stock Purple Days power supply) is said to run at about 13.8v or 14v, which ended up being just a little too hot for me. The VV at max setting is plenty hot...

    The HI

    Those are some awesome pieces of wood indeed, Ed. Maybe you and Alan could collaborate on some stems. After experimenting a bit more with my power supplies, it's starting to seem like the VV at max voltage is providing a hotter temp than the non-VV. Anyone else experiencing the same thing? I...

    The HI

    Excellent point mom, and the opposite of this would be true for those who are having trouble getting their herb fully browned due to lower-than-desired temperature. I've found that at a given temp, it's easier to thoroughly brown a large bowl than it is a small one. With a big bowl, you just...

    Which Vape to Buy or Stick to Bong?

    I'll be the first person to go against the grain here and say that a log may actually work for you. Not just any log, but the HI (or perhaps the Underdog, but international users seem to have trouble finding the ideal power supply for it). Historically, the "log vape" category is associated with...
