This dyi looks great for outings, especially for the summer. I just wanted to know what is the perc made from, glass or plastic?
The glass lung one is 3D printed plastic with tubing connecting the percolator unit to the nozzle on the underside of the lid's cup assembly for the intake fitting. On a DIY setup you can put any stem (as long as it fits inside the jar) anywhere but I think the middle would work best and that's where I will put my input on my next DIY attempt.
, it would be nice if you could post a pic showing both your current glasslung setup & your diy setup.
Once I get a new camera or borrow someone's phone (I don't have one... and they're really hard to use with my fingers anyway) I will post a pic. I already tossed my first DIY lid out though. I ordered some new steel tops and hookah supplies consisting of silicone sleeves like the one that comes with the Glass Lung so that should make it safer/better. I also found some silicone gaskets for the lid more in the style of the Glass Lung ones too. However I find the Glass Lung setup to work really well and need to convince myself to make another DIY one. It may be a while, using power tools and actively using my fingers causes an absolute ton of pain.
However, making a template of the Glass Lung top might make making a new DIY top a bit easier. I've thought about getting some plexiglass cut to the right diameter to make making more of these easier.
