Yeah. I get it. To each their own. I just don't want to have to use the adapter. Of course, if one already planned to use a dropdown to keep the glass safe, then the adapter would fulfill the same purpose of course. So I get why some are perfectly comfortable going that route.
Almost all my Glass pieces are 14mm female, and I'm not trying to complicate that anymore than I already have. Just my personal preference, as there really is no wrong way to go, as long as it's comfortable for you
Yeah I used to have all 18mm basically and now I have quite many 14mm female, variety is good for me with all the variety of vapes and bowls for them! And you're right about the drop down, unfortunately I only got female to male dropdowns, so I will still need to use the female to female adapter, but I am really loving these dropdowns I must say so I probably will have to get female to female and male to male versions at some point...
I'm really resisting the urge, because I do not need another dab rig, the glass99 blue inline shapes klein recycler is really all I need, but this nice looking $49
tall blue slitted fountain ratchet klein (also avail in green, teal, and smoke, cheaper
here actually) seems a better backup replacement over this $37 on sale
blue circ pillar from glass99 (who owe me a free gift) at least... though I am tempted for
this one from Koko because of it's narrow mouthpiece and different colors:
This kind of recycler is all I really need for dabbing, I think, I mean I have the little purple biao klein recycler already too, yeah that ratchet fountain blue one is actually maybe similar to that just taller, kind of a combination of my two current color recyclers lol
