SSFG showerhead downstems are great, awesome action with it even on my mini beaker!
I think that downstems are the smallest, most inexpensive part that makes the biggest difference on any setup!
Its always good to have a couple of good downstems so you can switch between at least 2. I used to only keep one downstem for whatever size it would fit, so I would have a few different tubes that used the same size downstem and I would only have only one of them in the right size, bad idea, I forgot that glass breaks

Photobooth - Nice bub. He did a really good job on the worked section.
Tstat - For $65 that sounds like an absolute steal. Nice pick up.

I been thinking about getting one of those LW 6 arm stems but it feels kinda silly to pay $65 plus $8 shipping on a stem for a tube that costs $40.jimbo said:^ or even a luke wilson 6-armgreat price for the beaker, good to hear you're enjoying it!

Hey Pappy could you take a similar close up of the gridded showerhead?

x2. I love mine. Clearly a diffy that the Wilson-house churns out, sturdy, precise and/but clearly a production piece. When I bought my Sheldon-Black I opted for the LW 6-Arm and doing a quick water test at the store I was amazed at the difference.
Tstat, nice pickup. Downstems make a huge difference IME. I'm not as familiar with beakers, got an old grommet beaker that I haven't used since I bought GonG that collects dust upstairs (but not for sale), but I'm sure you would really get a completely different feel from different styles of downstem.

Agree. That said, especially with those simple downstem-diffused pieces, i.e. beakers/straight tubes, I've had some really great and fun experience with adding beads to aid and alter diffusion types/levels/feels etc. Anyways, I think its a very viable and accessibly priced option.

Thanks, everyone. I am sure I will be upgrading as I go along. I am deeply entrenched in this vape/glass business now.
I just used the new HVY with my PD. It's diffferent, so I thought it was maybe not as good. But after a few tries, I love it. And I thnk the taste is better than the bubbler.
Fun stuff for sure. I think I may have to go back and buy the straight HVY tube for $55.

Tstat, glasstafarian's work seems to continue progressing...those inlines look pretty clean. Understand that the wait isn't for everyone but as custom waits go 6 weeks doesn't seem too bad IMO.
Deep Dial, never used a Zob in a vapor situation myself but have looked at and held them in-store...definitely good quality thick glass as I remember. Zob seems comparable to others in that price-range IMO.
Pappy, something tells me you have something small in your future?

Well, yea. I hate waiting. I am very impatient by nature. But I think as far as my next piece goes, this would be a good pick. It's inexpensive, pretty nice, and different from what I have now. Plus I have my new beaker and the bubbler to hold me over for a while.
It's funny that my "custom" request is actually a request for nothing. I want clear and that's it.
Does anyone know any other artists that would make this for me? Its weird, but most all inline glass seems to have a crappy label. I am all about not having a label. Although glasstafarian's swirl is kinda cool if done in moderation and is not to in-your-face. Maybe a slight swirl somewhere... shit now I am confusing myself.
Time to put down the beaker, hehe...

I think the price and waiting time is appropriate(even though its all clear), and I feel the same way, Im all about the clear glass(one day Ill have some sick worked stuff...) and I dont see many short inline tubes, most of the inline tubes I have seen are quite tall.

Tstat, though your request is for clear glass, its still in the nature of custom glass IMO.
Personally I think you have quite a few options in that price arena for what you're after. If you're looking to deal with the artist directly for a custom piece that obviously narrows your choices down a bit. If you're willing to accept the usual mark-up associated with actual storefronts (online or otherwise) I think you can do well on places like ALT:
2 clear, inline ashcatchers that could be turned into bubblers with a simple j-hook:
