Why not put the lsv directly on the joint instead of using all tubing ? I'm sure you will notice a taste increase.[/QUOTE]
I do both ways. The issue is when I use the 18mm to 14mm adapter, it is not deep enough to hold the ELB and I can only use the "mini" ELB made from 2 arizer dome screens. It doesn't hold the same amount of material. And due to the straight up and down nature of the joint, the LSV almost touches your face when hitting it.
It does taste best when used with adapter though, its just a little awkward. But I have also noticed a difference in the draw when using the whip. It seems that I can get the pipe a bit milkier using the whip than with the adapter. I think that may be to having the ELB in the whip and the smaller one in the adapter.
Now if I could have an adapter made using the exact same thickness of whip adapter so that it would not only hold the ELB, but keep fairly good glass to screen contact along the ELB (sort of mimics the bamboo on the cloud), that would be great.
Do you guys have any experience getting custom glass adapters made? Also, I wonder if I could just explain my requested specs the same way and if they would understand?? Hmm...
