The J-hook thread!

[Ramahs]

Unfortunately, I've never been a fan of the look of the wood/glass combination.
I prefer all one or the other.

Just arrived home, 18mm joint, it measures ~7.35 inches and is rather slim and handsome.
Edit : oups not excatcly same in fact, pictures below is this one, it might interest you too ?

How is it with the screwball? Is this the one from RVS?

Edit.
Not sure if I'm confusing you with Necra. I seen someone with the SB on a j hook.

I was taking part in the contest and following the various discussions on the ScrewBall, maybe that's why ? Despite feeling magnetized by the SB I've managed not to ask yet on the thread how it reacts with hash, until today ..

This little pipe comes from Dhgate, stands on its own (not very stable), cools rather well with the two elbows and the picks, I have it well in hand. The limits are the thinness of the glass and the lack of depth under the joint : the CL mouthpiece touches the bottom to give you an idea, I use the glass bowl instead.

Screwball works excellent for hash as long as you use hemp fibre. Just need to crank up the heat compared to weed. I've tried placing small pieces in the bowl with the weed and it doesn't get warm enough to make it worth it. With hemp fibre and a quality hash it's tremendous.
I use a glass Briars pipe from chameleon glass now for hash and would not use anything else. I've even gave up my spoon pipe which I've been using for years as the vapour from the Briars is just different class compared to smoking.
I never expected this to happen and am still surprised about it but since I have had the Screwball and the Briars pipe I actually think I might be able to Fuck combustion. I just went a whole week with no joints, just my vapes.
Still can't believe I got that pipe for free. I posted it in a thread as It was new to me and I hadn't seen it on here. Few minutes later a kind poster asked if I want one. Thanks buddy, you know who you are.

I can't believe I waited so long for a J-hook, now I'm on the hunt for an affordable one with cooling dimples or beads in it.

Many great dimpled ones. TRWW often has great, inexpensive ones. The inception hook from OWW is under $20.

I have lots of high priced hooks that I use more often, but these are also great.

That Inception is right up my alley, thanks!

And if you don't mind ordering from China, the OGB style one from Genesis glass is a good get too... (Skim backwards for links)

 

[cybrguy]

If you don't mind China Glass, these are the ones that I ordered. They are not the quality of OGB, but they work perfectly well.

Any wood j-hooks out there? I had a custom order with Macqueen Pipes for an olive Wizard that would work with the Lotus and WPA but they cancelled it after a couple of months unfortunately due to time constraints on their end, they may look at producing something in the future but no guarantees. Searching online only brings up DIY related j-hooks

how would you clean these j-hooks? that's the problem with these..

Pure acetone and pipe cleaners. It's quite straightforward.

But wood collects reclaim in a different way than glass and it often gets better with use and don't need much cleaning (unless you combust...)

Acetone is an organic solvent, it takes the Ketones molecules from the organic compounds.
it doesn't "take" some wooden particles (wood is an organic material, but dunno if it has Ketones) with it?

Pure acetone is absolutely harmless for the wood. It evaporates fully and will let the wood completely dry (it will need wax or oil after an acetone soak).

It is the solvent of choice for any wood worker.

Edit to clarify : acetone will only damage the finish of the wood. Not the wood itself.

 

[sedentree]

Not gonna lie, I don’t think the cleaning aspect would bother me. I know Macqueen Pipes have a pipe for the Dynavap https://www.macqueenpipes.com/products/carb-cup-for-vap-cap so if they or someone else are happy to sell something similar for the Lotus I would buy it, if it was also aesthetically pleasing

Edit, another link https://www.macqueenpipes.com/products/dynavap-vap-cap-package

Edit, re aesthetically pleasing, I prefer a Sherlock/Gandalf style pipe to say a hammer stem

Thank you. learned something new.

I’ve shot Azzwood Customs a line to see if they can make something custom that suits my needs but I’m still keen to see what other options are out there currently

Thanks for this. Any recommendations for some good brands. When I check Amazon most returns are for nail polish? Thanks again.

While not a j-hook, if I had the means I would look at CDXX pipes. His beautiful neo and proxy pipes are amazing. He recently added injector and diffuser bowls too.

I'm not sure if he does customs, but something he has may scratch your wood itch.

do you have an idea why the wood makers in the vaporizing scene never gave this tip? to "cover up" themself if somebody makes mistake and the acetone will make contact with the wood's finish maybe?

The vapman folks have been recommending acetone soaks for deep cleaning the middle section for awhile

In the EU it can easily be found in all hardware stores along with others chemicals products.

Do not use nail polish. It contains impurities that will stay into the wood.

 

[GoldenBud]

You can get Acetone in "Pharma" stores I think

Many thanks, both.
