I finally got myself a nice custom Air/Solo stem! After not much luck Shit Snacks pointed out that GVB was doing them and a quick glance at their offerings gave me the idea for this custom. Though not exactly what I had set out to get as far as a custom stem I just had to have it once I started picturing it and fortunately the combined talents of Good Vibes Boro and Eric Duyette Glass were able to bring it to life! Really looks fantastic. It may be rushing the season by a lot but once I had the idea and they said it was possible I had to do it.
I didn’t really think much about performance on this because it was all about looking cool but it definitely brings a lot to the table in the performance department. The combination of the nice, open draw and the serious cooling of those large marbles make it hit deceptively hard in both my Air Max and old model 1 Solo. You can really see the tons of contact when you watch an air pocket move through the marbles when you give it a gentle iso cleaning, there’s a huge delay with that but with vapor it’s got a good draw and hits smoother than any other I have.
The only negative I can think of is that I’m terrified of breaking this thing somehow and kind of want to get a case for it now.
Awesome!!! :]
