Want that J-hook with the little feet on it. ;)
I know most won't spend this much on a piece, much less a downstem, but the 9 hole diffuser from SB has been my favorite for YEARS.
...the 6-shooter is incomparable, not even the same class.
Yeah, the closest I am getting to the SB is the HD 3 Pce I have coming from Goo Roo. I love being able to disassemble a piece or cleaning and being able to change parts. The difficulty cleaning a six shooter has always kept me away from them.

apologies for the dirty banger :lol: but this piece arrived a couple weeks ago and has become a favourite

Never bought headie or colourful glass before but really like recyclers and couldn’t find anything similar in clear class
Somehow I have a feeling that piece isn't gonna get the "Cheap Glass" qualification...

Here’s a $25 rig from eBay.

Was gonna get a custom from Goo Roo but I wanted to try this shape out before submitting what I wanted. I think I prefer the perc to crossover like this over the inline stuff. What I found is I tend to like the vapor to hit a right angle before it hits the water. This tends to grab most flower particulate and causes it to stick there, whereas in an inline it usually ends up in the water, and the water then extracts the water solubles leading to off tastes from leached chlorophyll and stuff.

I am certainly a card carrying member of the CheapAss glass group. Some in here are trying to reform me, but I am likely irredeemable. With occasional tho rare exceptions. One more piece in the queue, but I'll be back with my crew in no time... :lmao:

Fortunately, while I find a lot of the heady glass beautiful and very much artwork, I have no driving desire to use it as the tool with which I get high or consume medicine. Give me highly functional clear glass and I am a happy puppy. Yeah, I do like to use a recycler or other entertaining glass piece on occasion, it isn't worth big bucks for me to do that. I guess I'm kinda a boring consumer.

Yes, I am bored! The heady hook breathed some glassy life into me lol I'm actually not really looking for another recycler now though, but give me something unique and effective with some colors to mix it up!

Well, that hook IS absolutely stunning so I get it, it just doesn't get me.

I particularly like that it changes colors...

Oh, wait, I wasn't over there looking. Somebody told me about it. Yeah, that's it...

Okay okay, I think I found it: Heady Blue Rig has a crazy dry path to inline, not really a recycler but maybe a little bit?? Obviously I love the blue, but I also like the silver fume one, which also seems to be cheaper via this link for some reason: Silver Rig Cheaper cannot tell if there is any difference between them in these two links?? I know the first link has a photo of a blue one with a different mouthpiece, but none of them are actually like that regardless lol Good reviews too so yeah I am thinking of getting the blue one from the first link and then trying the silver from the second link, same seller, I just don't understand why it's cheaper...? :brow: :uhoh:

Can no longer edit, but I was able to do a virtual card to order securely, so I got both, and they already shipped! well provided tracking at least, and replied to tell me that the two rigs were the same and the only difference was the color, I guess despite the transparent silver fumed one being available in a separate listing cheaper for some reason... More excited for the blue one regardless, it was a little more expensive, $36, silver was $31, free shipping as well! I'll report back in a month or two I guess lol

I've been enjoying this little guy. For only $20, it's a really solid, fun piece with good function.

Nice! That looks like one I shared in the FW7 thread, from SunshineStore, with a 14mm male joint... Nice to know it functions well!

Okay I'm not going to buy it yet at least, but just found this before I stopped looking: Different Color Recycler Rigs

This one has nice reviews with photos, I think it may be the best, unfortunately it's out of stock right now anyway, so definitely waiting a bit before even inquiring to order:

And these are a different style, they use an inline perc instead of the showerhead (circ? hard to tell!) in the one above, could be nice:

There are some others but they do not look as nice, including a pink version of the first showerhead one, which for some reason seems to have the perc ridiculously high lol

So this showed up. Friggin love it. Fav piece for the vong by far. Really nice action.


Cool! Similar style to the pieces I ordered, so I guess it is a recycler with those four pillars, my seller had this smaller style in other colors as well, great heady design! :cool:

Edit: I know I said I was done, but your seller also has these which look very nice and well reviewed! Out of purple right now though, seems like a showerhead perc and it says honeycomb, maybe that is the top, but I can't tell what that part really is:

And so naturally that's led me to this from popular glass, has anyone tried it?? The bottom is conical and a glass stand is included, removable downstem:

Oh and @cybrguy & @snackmaster you may be interested in this mouthpiece too?

I would be remiss if I didn't also mention my absolute favorite piece in the world. It wasn't available for a long time but it's listed now again. The natty neck SOL is a real treasure of a bong, IMO. Just the perfect size, chug, and flavor for me. Amazing all-rounder.

I dunno, man, I mean I like it, I do, but at what, $70 to the US...? Kinda pricey, imo, with local high quality similarly priced alternatives available... looks like it could use a little bit bigger base/foot, too(?)... :peace:


Edit: to contradict my post above... :razz::

I know I said no more more big glass bodies this year unless there's a killer holiday discount, but this piece has piqued my interest....! Damn you!

Oh oh, can I be interested in those mouthpieces, too? I might get a few, even though I'd prefer a couple of 18mm...! (note: NOT a "big glass body"... :tup:)

Edit 2: these are 18mm and a little cheaper but you gotta buy 2 (3 is only like $1 more, btw)... no idea about the seller:

LOL:

Haha yeah I don't know that this popular glass conical rig is that big? Seems like it would be smaller, not cheap, but not such a simple piece I guess so fairly fair? Seems very thick too...

Search around, there are more mouthpieces than those, all different size connections, I wanted to share that one in particular because I know they have those 19 mm female rigs and probably could use a bent mouthpiece!

I remember someone raving about how good it is...I would just end up accidentally breaking it as would forget to put it back in its base when done toking.

Yeah it does seem pretty nice, and you could use it dry, just lay it down on its side like a j-hook, or even leave it in the base on the table with water? Hard to tell how big it is...
