2clicker I'm not completely with you on bigger means more herb spent. Possibly with a vape like the Extreme...

In my case, using the PD through (larger) glass doesn't necessarily spend herb faster, it just gives me less albeit bigger hits. Having used the PD with a friends larger tube (for me I don't prefer volume anyways) meant that I was expending a stem quicker, sometimes in one hit. Just want to throw out there that a bigger tube does not necessarily mean more product used IME at least.



Pappy I actually don't have one of those SSFG but I think I can see what your driving at. Next time you sit down to vape (actually I like standing up sometimes to allow a better 'lungful') try to really compare the two and see where they differ in feel. Size is obviously the biggest issue here, but from this starting point ask what is it about the bigger SSFG with a showerhead diffy that you like so much better. Is it a purring that consequently allows you to use less lung-power? Is it just smoother (vapor or the 'feel' of the hit)?
Having been in a similar situation (with a non-diffused downstem) I think that another showerhead (or spring for something else even ) will in fact make you like that little tube better. On the other hand, it could really boil down to the fact that the smaller tube is just too small for you, perhaps you're not getting enough volume to really enjoy the taste or density you benefit from with the larger tube? Just some thoughts.

Ah, somehow thought you had one. Very good answer -- gets to the nub! I definitely like the volume of the 12" (perfect match for Q) and the SH diffy purrs to perfection. Travel beaker has much less volume (more drag) and the downstem exacerbates the problem further. Plus, the small beaker can't accommodate that much water because the joint is so low. I don't mind pimping out the beaker if it works but I don't wan't to throw good money after bad. Actually, I had you mixed up lowfront . He's the one with the travel beaker and SH diffy.

I think the travel beaker will never match your 12" even with a showerhead but you should get one anyway
I don't put much water in mine and hold it at about a 45 degree angle so the end of the diffy is where the water is deepest . This gives it a great "purr" but still leaves plenty of volume to milk it although I usually end up direct drawing(?) most of the hit into my lungs and only clearing the last bit.
I'll probably get something along the lines of your 12" soon so I can use it more like a traditional bong.
Vapor bonging is the absolute nuts.

Well, I posed it to Ray and whatever his answer I'll sleep on it. Glasstafarian is currently making me a Sherlock and I want to preserve my reserve for glass and vapes until 2011.

BTW I'm using less herb vapor bonging because I started using elbows.

Nice one.
I just tried lwien's patented steam bong - not for me - tastes weird but each to their own.

My question is do you think it's the generic downstem? Would it be worth it to get a SH diffy for the travel beaker?

They look like they both have 18mm fittings like mine so try taking the generic diffy out and put enough water in the 12" to try it out and see how much of a difference it is.

How are the 6 slits cut on the generic because I would rather have just a few slits instead of the 11 on my showerhead now that I realize first hand how much taste is lost through too much diffusion. Although the SH is almost drag free. Hence the oiler/vapor tube I'm trying to get custom made with 3 tiny slits on a (built-in/stemless?) inline for very minimal diffusion and drag.


Edit: btw, if any artists read this ETSY thread and are interested in making my oiler this year please feel free to contact me as I've yet to get a response from 4 separate blowers I've sent my request to. (Busy season?) I really don't think I'm asking for too much either...quite simple I think.

The more I think about it the less I'm inclined to think a SH will help.

Looks like your (vapor) editing, nice...I've certainly been there

Is that a porno script?


I think the showerhead will definitely improve it.

Figured I'd give y'all a taste until it hits the multiplex. Nothing gets past this bunch!

At risk of grave digging this thread got buried and needs reviving. Apologize for repetition. http://www.fuckcombustion.com/viewtopic.php?pid=104718#p104718
Add this... Had great experience with Glasstafarian (http://www.etsy.com/shop/glasstafarian?ref=seller_info&order=price_desc&page=1) Built this for me from ground up and exceeds my every expectation.

I use several high end pieces and this one has carved out its own niche. It retains flavor better than any piece I own and is easiest to handle. You could never get anything on ALT for anywhere near the value. I warned people Glasstafarian would raise the price and he already has!

I predict he'll charge more in the future. So, as they say in glass trading biz, "Get it while you can!" Word 2 Wise.

The price of $150 is still a great value for for that bubbler. If it were on Aqualab it would be $300+ knowing how they price their glass, one little smidgen of color on a tube and the price goes up $100-200, even though you can get a fully worked, 4-5 section spoon or sherlock on Etsy for $100 or less, so color sections must not cost that much to make. Glasstafarian is able to do the color sections for $10-20.

Etsy is definitely a good place to start for a great deal versus paying thousands on a heady piece from a more well known artist.

Really digging your beakers Pappy, got a little papa beaker and a baby beaker thing going on.

I really like the showerhead on the bubbler too.

Thanks! Baby beaker went to SmokingElectricity. Least I know it has a good home!

I'm on the waitlist for a single chamber version of your bub with a gridded showerhead and rainbow+black+white section. Pretty excited!

Congrats! One of my fave pipes! You'll love it. Are you getting a bong mouth?

I ordered it with a "tube-style mouthpiece" based on your two chamber piece so we'll see, regardless, I know he'll pull off an awesome piece.

Very 2011! He's a good artist and really dials you in. How long a wait?

Should be a sturdy piece, the gridded showerhead will be bridged to the bottom for reinforcement. He messaged today saying its a 3 week waiting list and I ordered a week ago, so hopefully in a couple weeks? The sooner, the better.

I'm going to try it as a one chamber (no diffy) today. Should be interesting to see the results.

 

[Nycdeisel]

report back with results Pappy! If my other piece never gets here(which seems to be becoming more and more realistic every day), I am considering something similar to what you got Papp but without the extra small chamber, and Im not sure about the mouthpiece. That bent tube style neck mouthpiece looks sick on your double chamber but maybe it wouldnt be as nice on a single chamber, I wish he had more sample pics besides your custom piece

How did this work out, specifically running the EQ through it, Pappy? Can't wait to replace my cheap 3 piece bong for a glasstafarian showerhead bubbler.

It worked but not as well as with the diffy. It produces twice the perk. With a one chamber piece like your it would be different, especially with a reinforced SH.
