No, I bought it separately from the Calypso. It is a blue-fumed 22-diffuser bowl, and it's much higher quality and heavier than a standard CH bowl, which I like. I am kind of kicking myself in the ass because Cloud Connoisseur just released a bubble trap bowl, but it did not exist when I pre-ordered the Calypso.

Got it, thanks. Fumed looks great as well!

Pulled the trigger on the 18mm protégé V2. But now that calypso is looking sooo tempting. Anyone that has both? Are they different enough to justify both? Id be using with a screwball vape.

I don't have Protege but I love Calypso! It's very open, cools decently, decent flavor, effortless function. It's just a fun pipe to use. I would imagine that the Protege is a bit better at cooling, and Calypso with flavor.

I just got myself a 14mm clear non opal Calypso. Debated the Protege too but I really like the open perc style of the former. I'll probably get one of each in the future. I did debate pre-ordering an 18mm in pink and I may do that too still. Kind of kicking myself for not getting my Influx in a similar color.
What actually brought about this purchase was my mom... after I saw the Calypso I made a comment about it being a design you don't see everyday and she suggested that since I hit a home run with the Influx, I should buy one to support iDB and CC. So I did. Also added a tip too.

Well ended up putting a pre-order in for the 18mm calypso as well. Thought that would be arriving after the protégé but they both went into processing status today. So hopefully not too much longer.

Received a couple gifts last night 
Went with the Prophet during the last pre-order only. So my wallet got excited when @Shit Snacks mentioned stuff being in stock earlier. Been wanting the DD and the Calypso is spot on as people have said here. Used it with ZX/simple drop down and Tornado/native so far. Stock mouthpiece is great and will be trying some others on it too.

It looks like the newer glass has logos now. Is it laser etched on the glass or some kind of print screen?

It’s engraved; subtly and beautifully. If it were a distasteful logo or poorly executed it might bother me, but I think it enhances the look of the piece.
Calypso is a ripper! I love sipping on Protégé, and Dante fits right between them. Now to go try the Prophet I finally scored on a maiden run with TA3!
I got a feeling, that it’s gonna be a good good night!
ETA: I used Epitome on a CH Matrix bowl for the maiden run on Calypso, I figured it would be nice and open and the Matrix is my deepest bowl. Nearly cleared it in one rip, normally I get a cleanup hit that is light green in the Matrix!

Yea, good call. Seems like a print to me by gently rubbing it. Same on Prophet. Will try to avoid putting my grubby fingers on it to avoid wear
@Timps27 just reread your post. Is yours clear?
Pink, I don’t have the best digits, but it sure feels like it’s etched on mine?

Yes pretty sure they are laser etched logos, or it could just be frosted glass possibly??

Man i wish they still had logo-less versions. The logo itself i kind of big for my liking. I dont mind signatures or logos on glass if they are small or tucked away somewhere but these are on the bigger side and take away from the sleekness in my opinion.

Sorta my sentiment as well, I'm really not a logo guy. That said I'm perfectly happy with my clear Calypso, logo included. But it did lead me to choose clear instead of a color--I felt it would be too busy.

Me neither. It's not super noticeable on the bubble drop models though.

I've explained previously, but it was decided to include these prominent logos going forward, to get the brand out there more, take credit and protect the designs, etc.

I definitely understand and Im sure you guys knew some wouldn't like it and accounted for that before making your decision. You cant please everyone, some will like and some wont but i think some of us that are on the fence, wouldnt mind the logo if the sizing, placement and even logo design was upgraded. This is just my opinion of course.

Definitely agree that logo placement can still be up for debate, I prefer my glass to be unimpeded if possible. I have a lot of glass where the logo was on the bottom of the base and I thought that was a nice middle ground for both customer and maker. They get to push their brand, and I get to look at my glass without obstruction

Thanks for stating the obvious. I passed but because I like the brand and I own previous (logo-less) glass, I left feedback for the brand owner on his forum. Have a great day all!
Exactly! I think this is a great middle-ground but its totally up to the brand owner. Its nice that there is an actual forum where we can leave this kind of feedback.

I have a couple TAG pieces like this, where the logo is small and on the bottom of the piece.
