I just got a second hand LSV minus its accessories, and am curious whether the shorty wand is preferred over the long. I only found one mention of it in the thread (which seemed to favor the shorty), and was curious if anyone else had an opinion. Also, it seems that there are multiple versions...

Wow, nice grind.

150F maximum? I would stop using that IMMEDIATELY and procure better tubing. Manofkent, you haven't been on the board long (nor have I for that matter), but I wanted to say that I've found most of your posts to be valuable and insightful. Cheers.

Stainless is supposed to heat up less, which is a common complain about the aluminum bat. I wasn't very fond of my aluminum bat, but the fellow I sold it to seems to love it. They don't necessarily get super duper hot, but can be uncomfortably warm on the lips after your fourth or fifth hit in...

I've traveled internationally with cheap, throwaway pipes from when I used to blow glass. Not one raised eyebrow yet. Just make sure it's completely, virginally clean. As to the point of disposal, I recommend doing what VW said and smashing it as small as possible, and then also taking the time...

Good review, for sure. That leaking vapor you mention is due to the temperature of the crucible and bowl, which is quite high and leads to unwanted conduction vaporization whether or not you are inhaling. This is one of my largest problems with the HA. On the other points made by another...

That's some beautifully dense vapor about halfway through.

Cyclists, in my experience, are often far more inconsiderate than motorists. They have 3 feet of bike lane, but ride all the way over on the left. They don't think red lights or stop signs apply to them. They go FLYING through crosswalks and give you dirty looks when you slam violently on your...

My advice is to shell out the extra 40 bucks over the handcarved for the glass Vaporgenie. It offers a massive increase in hit quality in my opinion, can be cleaned 100%, has absolutely no woody flavors (obviously), and is clear so you can see your vapor, which is useful for a number of reasons...

I can say personally that Randy is NOT a space cadet, is actually a ridiculously nice, accommodating, and usually very punctual guy. I've gotten email response within like 10 minutes in the past. You can bet this isn't by design and there's some bad noise going down for whatever reason, and...

My statement could be more false, I could be acting like YOU and make insane recommendations, like telling someone to get tubing at a hardware store without telling them to check what kind of plastic it is. Just because it "feels" like some 7th floor or medical-type hookah hosing, that doesn't...

I'd say it's gray, with actually some brown staining stuff going on near the center of the upper half. Maybe from my use of a jet lighter? I'm curious - still haven't emailed the VG people so no word on that. I have to say I am really loving my Glass VG though. A big, thin jet flame, like a big...

On one hand it's slightly expensive, on the other, the producer has machining costs for the top and C&C lathe costs for the bowl. This stuff isn't as cheap as you might think, especially if he stuck to his guns and didn't have it manufactured overseas. While I think the glass Vapobowl is...

Sorry if this is covered earlier in the thread... Is everclear or other similarly very high proof spirit necessary? Could 80 proof claro Tequila be used, or 86 proof bourbon for instance?

I read something about how some Muslims believe the deceased should be buried within 24 hours.

Tubing at a hardware store is almost guaranteed to be horrible for your health. At the very least look up a homebrew store and use their food safe tubing, which is used for siphoning beer or wine from one vessel to another. The main and true value of the Supreme is reported to be its...

They are not, but they were inexpensive, like 5 dollars for 4 when I found them on sale off some given website. They aren't even one of the brands which people recommend, they were originally intended to power digital cameras, and I'm just happy they work so well. I have to be conscious to...

Maybe some of OO's statements did come off as condescending and did not speak from a position of having used the VOS, but pull a punch or three. The Bowl DOES get hot. I've even burned myself very slightly on it when getting aggressive with the flame. This is simply inevitable with many...

I have experimented with using a glass chillum which flares nicely at the end, packed very small, pressed to the tip of the MW like one might use the SSV, and I guess some Hakkos have steel heater covers which work perfectly for it too. The idea of using the MW with an ice pinch seems like it...

Hope he's okay, I need my hookah bowl.
