Hi everyone
Lately, I have been confronted to some regular Glass/Cat DramaShit, and am not conviced on those performances;
I examined the Stainless Steel / Titanium options on the market, then promptly steered on the DIY side!
I thought there would be something interesting on the homebrewing side, and headed the way on Tri Clamp standard, as it is pretty common.
Here is a quick mockup on the possibilities with some tweaks :
Clamp size is from 1.5" to 8", tube diameter to choose from 19/25/32/38mm (up to 204mm..)
So I ordered some parts
Parts (from bottom to top of the bong) :
4" End Cap
4" Joint
4" Clamp
4" to 1.5" hemispherical base
1.5" Joint
1.5" Clamp
1.5" Dia. 38mm Sight Glass
--Mouthpieces-- :
1.5" Dia. 25mm 45° Bend Elbow
1.5" Dia. 25mm straight
1.5" Dia. 10mm Wip
Around 125€ shipped
I still have to figure how to make the downstem, maybe with a reclaim catcher portion like on the upper visual.
I will use the bottom portion of titanium Enail for the "bowl", since it's a 14/18mm adapter and threads are already done
