So, using my friends bong with the PD inspired me to get a small straight tube. I worked an extra day this week so I decided to treat myself.
I went to three LHS to compare prices and quality and found one I did like, all the others had nothing I was looking for. The sticker said $60 which is already over priced for such a small chinese import but upon further inspection I found the downstem was had very very poor cut diffusion holes, I told them this, asked for a price reduction and they weren't budging. Even waited for the manager who was on his way. Worked out because while I waited I found this live Chicago album at the salvation army. Any how I had to buy another downstem with nicely cut slits
. I wanted to say fuck you and buy a quality piece online, but I went to town with a mission and had my mind set. Anyhow $70 and this thing rips very nicely. Dragless and with impressive diffusion, stacks higher than I expected. Works amazing with the PD, perfect size
. Got home, called my friend over. Hooked up the semi-warm PD he ran over, gave the whole piece a nice dawn scrub down (don't trust it un-cleaned). Popped in the new record and went to town. 3 stems out of it and I am feeling incredible
. Happy with the purchase, though I know it was way overpriced and got ripped off on the "stock" downstem.
Terrible.
