Alright got a lil dilemma: ordered a nail dome n adapter from gbd. The adapter has a downstem on it nd it's 3' but tooo thick for the infamous 2.0 in which I got it for.

Should I just break the downstem off and go with it lol or just dab w my stemline nd dont breal glass til I get the right adapt

So it seems that everyone here is pretty happy with there "Infamous $40 No Name Vapor Brothers Hydrator Knock-Off!!!" as BDV put it so nicely a few pages ago, but I do have a question. Right now I'm running my solo and MF through a generic little bong with a grommit style down stem that is just a straight tube. It chugs along pretty well but I think I would like to get something a bit nicer and at this price I think I may snag this up. My question is, would it really perform much better than what I already have in terms of filtration and vapor smoothness or will I just enjoy it so much that it won't really matter? :ko:

Since this is my first I have no idea. I do know I won't become a GAS. It is good for a change or when my throat is soar.

FedEx is really annoying. I made a whole point of BEING HOME today, so I could get the package. They just come and put a notice on the door. No door bell. Nothing.

Wow it is usually the post office that pulls that crap. Maybe you should have used them they left it on my porch.

Well, I find bubblers hit a lot different than tubes. Don't know why (other than the difference architecture in functional design)... but the manner in which I take in the vapor is different. At the very least, if you're staying with a grommet pieces, I would invest in some of the nice scientific downstems out there. I believe orgeonglassblower carries one or two different versions, I've seen them on GC, etc.

If you have an extra 45$ laying around, I would personally pick it up. Just so you have a little variation in your glass. BDV once related it to roller coasters. They ALL serve the same purpose (to cool the vapor)(not much filtration is needed for vapor), but some pieces provide a different "ride" with the components they have. Not sure how big your little bong is, but this bubbler is nice handheld with no tilt. There ARE plenty of other cheap options to go with, KushCabbage has a bubbler/oil rig for sale in classified section that looks similar to one of my first bubblers, it's cheap($30), GonG, a big colored dome perc, bubbles decently, I don't mind taking it to work b/c if it breaks, $30 wasn't too much to lose for me.
I've never hit a vape out of a grommet style bong. The chug could be from water levels?? Maybe just play around with the level of water in your present piece and see if that changes your experience as well...

I agree with what BDV says--put a different downstem on there and there will be a big difference. In my rather noobish opinion, the "chug" comes form the open-ended stem. :2c:

What does chug actually mean. From reading I thought it was resistance and if that is so I have never felt much resistance with my old style bong years ago on this little cute infamous no matter the water level. So what am I missing?

Big bubbles, like from natural percs tend to chug, its like when a movement of large bubbles suddenly move through the piece, you can feel it. One big group of bubbles, chug, then the next big group of bubbles, chug. Sometimes it can physically shake the piece in your hands.
I have a piece back home that can perfectly show a "chug" but I'm afraid I don't have it here so my description will have to do.
Typically the bubbles are big meaning less diffusion and less cooling.

So why is that an issue? I would guess it is like blowing out into a glass of liquid threw a straw is how I am reading your post. The glass vibrates and of course as a kid you laugh. Why is this an issue while vaping? Don't we like bubbles and there kewl sound?

Its an issue because, instead of delivering the vapor/smoke in a smooth even pull... its basically burping it up. Most don't like that feeling. Plus, I can't stand my glass, rumbling in my hands.

Hope that helps understand a bit.

Damn... now I want to buy the updated version.

What seems odd to me with the new version is that the slits are cut much higher and you should need more water in there to submerge them and give adequate space for the vapor bubbles to cool down. Whenever I tried to put that much water in my Infamous I ended up drinking the salty bong water... :puke: Doesn't this pose a problem to you guys with the newer version?

I didnt get to try it yet because Im waiting on some tubing to arrive. Do you think the slits will be a problem? The infamous is really tiny and I do see the slits on mine are pretty high up.


Side Note: Does anyone else hate the sound the pieces make when you put them together like Voltron? That glass on glass friction reminds me of the scratchin on a chalkboard.
