1) Not everyone makes fritted discs that fire evenly throughout the disc surface. 2) There's no other perc that creates the same amount of percolation, that doesn't mean there's no other brand with good percolation. 3) David Goldstein not being popular doesn't mean it's a waste of money. You're...

Nice, so really all you need is a fritted disc in your life and you'll be all set.

Sorry brother, nothing can convince me that a quartz banger of all things is worthy of $230. lol It's like any other product, there are methods, materials, techniques and so on that make the prices go up. I don't doubt at all the quality of these bangers. I just could never justify spending that...

I saw a $200+ quartz banger the other day. It legitimately pissed me off to see that prize. lol I just don't understand it. At that point you're paying for a brand name, the equivalent of paying $400 for a Gucci belt as opposed to a $30 quality leather belt.

If you must go the cheaper route, I would suggest this piece. It is the closest thing I have found to equal function to the David Goldstein. But again, I stress there is no equivalent to the quality you get from DG...

If you can't find a downstem long enough (a one piece) check these people out. They can make custom length downstems for you up to 10" in length and in different size joint combinations if needed. I got one in the mail for my custom mason jar rig. http://glassblowersdirect.com/home/free-downstem/

Which is why I suggest the real thing. That has never been an issue with David Goldstein products and honeycombs just don't live up to the same standards.

Also, a big rig doesn't necessarily mean big hits. You have total control of just how much you want to smoke any given time. The bigger the rig the more diffusion, that's what you're after. All you gotta do is load small bowls/dabs. Also, in combination with this rig, I recommend using this...

I have what you could call a fetish for function/percolation. In my experience, the David Goldstein Rooster Apparatus bongs have the best and most percolation you can buy. Those are the original, pioneering designs behind the "fritted disc" percs. To be clear, do you want something that hits...

Here are the results of that white haze after using distilled cleaning vinegar. Thanks to this forum my glass literally looks brand new again after years of what I thought were permanent stains.

Here's something a bit different to add to this thread. This is a 64oz wide mouth mason jar with a custom 3D printed top. It accepts a 18mm to 14mm bowl adapter and has a tapered opening for the hookah hose. It has a silicone tube for a downstem and a three arm diffuser with 3 decent size holes...

Thanks man the 20mm with either insert is fine. The more the better :D

I was wondering since you mentioned the right temp will prevent the oil from going into the drop down, what exactly is the purpose to use a drop down? In my understanding, it's to protect the rig joint from the heat, help keep the rig cleaner and/or to collect reclaim from the drop down...

I agree, it's minimal effort to change the water out.

The bacteria buildup should be visible to the naked eye. I once left water in a oil rig for days and when I picked it up again it looked like it had mold growing inside. However that was only once, and I used to leave water in my rigs ALL the time and never had that happen. I'm not quite sure...

Seeing how cheap NACE is and how little amount of it is required, I don't mind doing this too much. Besides, if you're willing to use extracts to keep the glass clean, changing out the water frequently should also be on the to-do list. I'm trying to get in the habit of this because I hate...

Yes, "organically grown" makes my eye twitch every time I see it. lol

Thank you for taking the time to explain these things for us. I appreciate it. I'm hoping these tests come sooner than later. I always love to learn something new regarding my hobbies, especially in the technical side of things. I just wish there was a way to do away with the paranoia or...

This is where I need some sort of test results or evidence relative to our use of quartz, more specifically china made quartz and american $150+ quartz. What I would like to know is the actual significance the quality has for our use of quartz, and just how much or a difference it makes as far...
