Pappy - the 12 arm must be sitting in 70mm bore because it looks bigger than the 60mm on Swanee. That chamber is just a BEAST. No wonder you were telling me it takes 2 inhales to properly milk that thing. Don't have too much fun with it, you might find yourself higher than you've ever been.
It is! It's a 50/75/45 with an oversized Stemline. Actually I think I got it down to one draw (or maybe I was stoned
).
@ Y'all > I appreciate all your kind comments. Lebowski is soaking in GO now so I can talk. Where to begin? Lebowski is a badass! He has that unmistakable SG ping. Drawing requires more effort than Swanee but less than my SSFG showerhead beaker which is amazing considering how much glass it is. With water in it you can use this SG 12 Arm for exercise. It's a LOT of bong!
Some initial impression. You want to hit this bong standing up (and then immediately take your chair
). For a two chamber piece it draws remarkably smooth. There's obviously more tube to fill but SG technology does the trick! I won't say it's effortless but once you get it down (which I did by session 3) it's a very pleasant smoke/vape. Which brings me to the "Is a perc too much diffusion for vaporizing?" question. Probably so! OTOH because this tube is so smooth and efficient I don't think you suffer a penalty on taste or lost vapor. This tube clears as well as Swanee -- par excellance!
I had to resort to the bathtub to clean the big bastard. Lebowski is much higher maintenance than Swanee as any who ever cleaned (or even emptied) a tree perk knows. I took total leave of my senses buying it (ALT fever aka Stone Monkey fever) but for a sight unseen purchase I could've done much worse.
The only person I could imagine using Lebowski as a daily driver is The Jolly Green Giant of Gulliver!
So I guess I got me a showpiece and party bong. As I told Stone Monkey I look at it like buying 100 shares of some $6 stock. I'll appreciate it much more and believe it'll appreciate more in value over time.
