The measurement refers to the diameter of the can, not the height. Although the wider cans are taller also. I believe height will vary due to the nature of "hand crafted" glass.
Jealous of your new pickup! Should pair nice with your Evo.So I just bought an Ion from someone. It's a smaller Ion. Pics below are from him; I haven't received it yet.
He said there'd be less drag than with a bigger one. Does that sound true to you guys? I kind of wanted a bigger one, but settled for this. I hope I made the right choice.
P.S. They do hold their value...so, if you don't love it, you can always sell it to someone who has been refreshing ALT day after day hoping for it to appear for sale on their site...
I have a larger sized Sovereignty and I prefer smaller cans for the most part with vaping/dabs. A large can is nice for combustion so you can get it all milky in there and get it all at once and over with. With a vape and ones that may have more of a restricted draw a smaller size with vaping will be nice to get it to you faster and less lingering. All else fails sell it to me and buy yourself a clear!Yeah admittedly it is a good piece no matter what, but I just feel like the bigger ones look higher quality because of their size. It's completely a visual thing in these regards to me, and I'm sure performance will be essentially the same.
Thanks for the encouraging words behind this slightly impulsive purchase - makes me feel better. He said he's had 3 in his life and this 3rd smaller one is his favorite so far, but he might just be trying to sell it. Doesn't sound like anything is bad or wrong about it - he seems like a guy who buys and sells a lot of glass to try new things.
I can't believe the vast size differences in these bubs. @boblawblaw has one that looks huge. Or at least I think it was you, bob, if I recall correctly.

not sure if that new guy has one or not, but i do have the clear bubbler, not the ion, it is quite a bit larger
Still not a bad deal. Don't beat yourself up about it bud. Keep in mind this is ALT's sale price on the Ion. I don't have experience with Clear vs Ion but I have an Ion and it is absolutely perfect. The size is almost perfect for a hybrid piece and it is super sturdy and near impossible to knock over with its wide base (which you won't find on the Clear). I plan on getting a Clear someday, too, but the Ion is simply amazing. Zero drag, zero effort to clear.Yep looks like I was indeed confused.
So confused that I paid the guy $295 shipped for the small Ion ($280 on ALT). When I bought it from the guy I thought it's MSRP on ALT for the Ion was $320. It was the Clear that was $320. I could have negotiated that better. >_<

Correct! Less drag than the bigger one. You got the right one, IMO! Love it!!! You're gonna be spoiled! Enjoy!So I just bought an Ion from someone. It's a smaller Ion. Pics below are from him; I haven't received it yet.
