Yeah it's a small piece so that's a typical problem, it depends on the vape most of all, for me I try to keep as most compact as possible setup, I guess the anvil is a little long sticking out? se la vi
the gili mouthpiece isn't 'bad' per se, its a straight fab with a bong neck on it. if you want a sit-down bong its fine. if you want a bubbler its not so fine. its the kind of bong mouthpiece you have to stick your face in, meh.
Yeah as I had described it, it is too big, but too big enough haha there are so many different levels of these type of mouthpieces, but I don't like the kissing the small ones and I don't like sticking my mouth in the big ones, sometimes they are just right size wise to fit my mouth comfortably, but literally every single one is different lol
the straight fabs with fountain type percs and lower-set eggs like the gili and smoq version function a bit differently from the standard type of straight fabs too. different, not necessarily better or worse.
As I describe them, fountain just means facing up, I think they are all like this? The difference is slitted ratchet, holed honeycomb, or laser cut FOL... Also many of them have variance in their straight fab, some are high, some are low, from the same manufacturers even, so I don't think there is an actual standard per se, but I agree there is no necessarily best, just variety!
I am happy to have the CaliBear FOL straight fab in milk blue, the one I have for the price I paid despite whatever flaws, but I also really enjoy the anguschen/yhookah frit fountain straight swiss in blue that
@Weedaholic designed... Although perhaps probably neither would be a tippy top tier favorite piece for me? Depending on the vapes etc. but they are loved parts of my collection
