On a Möbius plane
At the lack of a specific thread for this comparison, I thought I would put up my findings. These were compared using an Arizer Solo on level 4 (195°C / 383°F) with 14mm Shorty GonG, lightly packed with Girl Scout Cookies flowers.
Size:
The Pinnacle Water Tool (PNWT) is shorter and fatter than the f-BOMB and the glass is much thicker. It feels more sturdy and less likely to break.
PNWT - 5.125 in long, 1.375in diameter
f-BOMB - 5.5in long, 1.125in diameter
Diffusion:
I find the f-BOMB to diffuse a bit more, due to it's jet holes, but to combat that you can put in less water than the PNWT. Both have sufficient diffusion to cool the vapor and still deliver decent taste.
Taste:
Not much between them in this department. However, whilst there is less water in my f-BOMB, and therefore would expect more taste to come through, I actually find the PNWT slightly better. I am not sure if it is because the slits are larger in the PNWT or what to be honest, but I find the taste and terpene profiles more pronounced with the PNWT.
Draw:
The draw on the PNWT is much easier, because of this I tend to blow smaller clouds with the PNWT. The restricted draw and reduced water capacity from the f-BOMB lends itself to larger vapor clouds.
Price:
Not much in it really. At full price the PNWT is $129.99 USD and the f-BOMB is slightly cheaper at $105.99 USD ($109.99 CAD). However, I got my PNWT with an offer code for $50 USD so it was a n absolute steal.
Conclusion:
Since receiving the PNWT it has been my go to piece between that and the f-BOMB. It was a steal at $50 with the coupon code, PNWT50 (available till the end of October 2013), so with that in mind it makes it the winner in my opinion. It is great to have two similar pieces though as you never know when you might need a backup!
The only issue I have with mine is that the innermost tube in the PNWT is slanted and touching the sides of the tube it is encased in. Doesn't affect the operation, but aesthetically it is slightly off. Nevertheless, I am more than happy with it
