I forgot sneaky pete had an inline honeycomb rig available, with a bent neck no less, these are pretty tough to find...
This also looks pretty nice, variation on the straight fab with spikes instead:
Friday20 code for 20% off but if you couple it with something like this it hits the free shipping amount as well:
just ordered the honeycomb buzz there,been looking for something like this for a little while now.

I went to purchase the following for ball vaping but PopularGlass PayPal is not working at this time,only US$49 while on sale,

That honeycomb is very tempting

E: but the 55 CAD shipping isn't :lol:

yeah!! that's a hell of a tip!! less dirt in the water over time, mold doesn't like distilled water too... it's great!
I started using distilled water after my Cpap therapist gave me the side-eye about using filtered/boiled tap water and recommended breathing though distilled water only (we did not discuss RO). Also the chemicals they add were making my glass cloudy.

Edit: I just looked it up and apparently RO water is not recommended as a first choice for cpap machines because the process may not remove all minerals, but it looks like it is the next best thing.

In my younger years I had enough run ins with dirty water pipes(read nasty ass bongs) that made me temporarily ill I actually grew to avoid them and prefer dry. These days I only use distilled water and I don't even have hard water but combined with a dry catch there's basically nothing in there to promote any kind of nasty growth.

Investment into RO water for home would be significant compared to buying distilled by the gallon or two but might be worth it for those with hard water. When I used to have to work in the office I drank RO water exclusively because the spout on the non-RO machine was gross with buildup etc unless someone cleaned it because it didn't get serviced often.

Long story short, distilled water put me at ease with water filtration after many years of being wary.

What's wrong with filtered water?
Well, for the cpap it looks like two different concerns: the possibility that the filtration doesn't live up to its claims and lets bacteria remain; and the inability to completely filter minerals, which eventually screws up the works. Distilling eliminates both concerns.

For healthy bong-tokers, the first may not be a huge concern with proper bong hygiene but for immuno-compromised folks and those of us who are just old and beat to hell, it's something to consider; the second, though, is mostly cosmetic but my supposition is that it will be harder to de-gunk than it is to gunk.

My RO system was ~250 CDN and took less than 2 hours to install. It was purchase to "polish" our drinking water, the water is moderately hard. We didn't like it for drinking. The added benefit is it works great both in stoner glass and for rinsing glass after cleaning with 99% iso.

I expect most city water would be noticeably improved by an RO system. Chlorine and fluoride will be remove as well as other undesirable and potentially dangerous chemicals and organisms found in some tap water. Flint comes to mind as an extreme example, there are others.

It is also sold here by commercial producers in 20 liter water cooler bottles. Some water cooler jugs are distilled but the majority is RO. The RO is about half the cost of the distilled and I always have some.

I love it, YMMV.

We filter our water because it tastes like the river, but we just use a filtering jug. They have RO gallons on the shelves here (at least I assume it is, it's usually labeled 'purified') and I've wondered about using it when there's no distilled available. Seems like it's fine at least in the short term. The recommendations for cpaps recognize it as the go-to second choice, with some treating RO as sufficient for a first choice, even, but it seems like they are talking about commercially-sourced purified water. There's always the warning about keeping filters cleaned and replaced, etc, for home systems.

I like distilled water because mold can't reproduce itself in these water i think...these water are like a poison to them, as its a poison to our cells....if drinking..... if you got cheap RO system the Mg/Ca ions will still be in these water and mold can live/reproduce in these water?
but also it seems like more ions in water = more dirt, yea.. the solubility of cannabis with these not distilled water...

what are you guys talking about :p just replace the water every day and wash bubbler with very hot water and don't worry about it?
Yeah your water is probably low on minerals. When I started with water, which I hated because of this, I always used to refresh water and clean with hot water after each session. Shit still got that resin layer that seem like it rancid or some shit because of the calcium I think mainly, even after one day. It was gross and withheld me from experimenting with water for years, until dropdowns entered my life and it was candy all over

E: oh I did use vapexhale as daily driver for a year or something with the hydrotube, was relatively easy to keep clean and got used to it.

Yeah that does sound great, the water is so hard in Los Angeles, and this apartment especially for some reason, but I'm not about to invest that much money as it would be more because I wouldn't know how to install it myself either lol if I had my own home I would absolutely be putting that in though! Yeah it's annoying for rinsing too, because I don't waste the distilled water for that, I have to use the sink then, try to use bathroom sink if I can since it is a bit better than the kitchen sink with the minerals, but it is smaller of course so the larger pieces will not be able to rinse there... It's far from ideal though I am quite lazy so whatever for now!

I expect the concern with a CPAP is that they use a heat source to create the humidity and over time the mechanism could be fouled but accumulated mineral deposits. The water the user inhales should still be pure, it is being distilled by the CPAP itself.

Given that everything is toxic at some level yes, but chemically from the bodies perspective all water is pure H20. Chemicals may be dissolved (in solution aka suspended) in the water but they are not chemically bonded to the water, it remains pure H20. There are no available links and the atomic bond of the OH2 is perfect, complete and very strong.
Organisms have great difficulty surviving in pure water because there are no nutrients.
Maybe I am missing something?
I wouldn't know how to install it myself either lol if I had my own home I would absolutely be putting that in though!
Yeah in an apartment it would be problematic. Installation is pretty easy though. No power required. Everything snaps together with quick release fittings. You do need a hole for the tap and a small hole in the sink drain. Perhaps one day.

if we drink distilled water, our cells ions will come outside to balance the ions concentration.. and our cells need some level of concentration that may be missing if too much salts will be gone to balance the distilled water... *i think* that's why mold doesn't like distilled water, the ions concentration of the cells will be lower to live/reproduce....

if your RO system is not too long, not too many filters, small system, the water will not be 100% distilled ... you have to have some Ca/Mg ions in the water you drink, you can't drink 100% distilled water
