What should my next glass purchase be?

Still really enjoying this tall spiked tube, despite the mouthpiece, it is also nice with water though that adds a bit of draw restriction with only the two downward facing slits in the inline perc... However if you load just enough water to be right below them, it keeps the right angle joint fully dry, so it can catch any particles before they enter the water, subtle cooling with good taste, best with the tetra so far, I think the TM worked better with a little more water loaded for more chug or using dry (Hopper seems better dry with it, FW7 I think could go both ways? Need Sunshine 14 to 14 male to male adapter to arrive so I can use it properly however)

Now the CaliBear straight fab FOL has arrived though, got a little slowed down by customs I think leaving China, but then FedEx breezed through Alaska and Tennessee to get to California this morning!

It is a very nice, well-made complex piece, I love the milk blue color and it does match the inline spiked tube milk blue color too! Unfortunately there are a couple super minor cosmetic imperfections outside the joint and base, speaking of the joint though it is actually a unground 18.8 mm female, quite nice although the first adapter I tried fit a little wobbly... The perc is pretty cool, little rice seed shaped laser slits in that x flower grid pattern, and the straight fab egg is pretty awesome, carefully constructed holes through the glass with an internal cylinder structure (they are more effective than spikes, since they are full cylinders that surround the vapor path in the can a grid of four and five rotated in six columns, as opposed to four columns of five spikes in the other straight tube) that also gives the vapor a flat surface to hit after it leaves the perc...

I just tried it for the first time dry with the FW7 and it worked quite well, the balance of a smooth purr from the perc and a little restriction from the large egg cylinder seem like an effective combo! However there is a weak point for me, the mouthpiece is a little too small ironically, tube so narrow that it restricts the draw much more than the egg, with an even narrower tip... Fortunately I thought, it is not flared it is flat, however the size of this thick flat mouthpiece unfortunately seems perfect for drool! Hopefully this can be avoided with different vapes, using water, my own technique improvement, or otherwise I'll have to resort to more innovative measures lol

Overall I still like the piece, it is nice and unique, I'm glad I have the straight spiked tube as well, similar yet different counterparts that visually match perfectly... The straight fab's can is slightly taller and narrower, the spiked tube's base is wider along with longer wider mouthpiece and super thick glass for the can likely because of the spikes, the base of the straight fab is slightly thicker and all around its glass is quite thick... notably very good quality glass that is more worked overall, only part that looks welded is a little clear spot in the milk blue at the right angle where the female joint tube meets the inline perc tube (aside from the other two minor superficial imperfections in the outside of the joint and inside the base) like feeling the outside of the glass, the straight fab is all totally smooth polished more like US glass!

Custom large inline from Goo Roo (no branding and perc holes down) arrived after more than two weeks lost in the mail. Milks a treat with the TM and is making a great first impression

Damn two weeks lost in the mail, annoying unnecessary stress! Glad it arrived safely though, looks absolutely perfect, now you have a pretty ideal water piece for all of your vapes! I wonder how much of a difference there is with the perc facing down as most people have gone facing up lately... Still pulls pretty smooth I imagine, or do you feel like there's a little more chug this way perhaps??

I don't feel qualified to say chug-wise. I just wanted more of the water in play and because the perc piece is a cylinder the holes are kinda out more than down I guess.

I've never had great success milking up my lowly China glass with the Zs so I'm stoked to get easy, excellent hits with the Tinymight right from the opening salvo

Yeah you just had a matrix right? This should be the right balance of air flow and filtration, perhaps could be new Z go to dare I say... The slight extra restriction of it pointing down instead of upwards probably helps it milk up even better I'm guessing too...

It's my daily now and I really like it. Your excellent photo made me look closer at mine as it is the reverse of mine. They both have 3 holes pointing to either side and I have 3 pointing up and your 3 point down. Because they both have the side facing holes I doubt up or down make a big difference, but there may be one. The number of holes I think may be what keeps it from being chuggy at all.
Regardless I think you are gonna like it. A lot. :nod:

Oh I didn't realize, that you didn't realize, that they all had holes on the side! I think it was mentioned by snackmaster first, when he was doing his custom order, because they asked if the perc was desired facing up or facing down, they said most people choose to have it facing up in fact... I think you are right though, all the holes are going to make it purr smoothly regardless, so I think it's a difference of how much water you can load perhaps and bubble stacking? or whatever lol Yeah I'll need one too, someday I think!

I love the 9 hole diffused stem. Actually I love both Goo Roo percs I have. They are way smoother than any of my Dhgate glass.

Well, the Rattlecan is smooth too, but not as smooth. Actually I haven't used it since these guys arrived. I'll have to pull it out...

Added: Nope, nevermind. Not even close. Too much water to move on the Rattlecan.

I think the smaller version is a 50mm (as opposed to 65mm) can as well as a 14mm MP joint. Someone in here bought it but I don't remember who.
I got the the smaller "3-piece bubbler with removable downstem" (no HD and it can be used as a handheld) and the mouthpiece is 18mm, and I like it! The intake is 14mm but the downstem/perc it sits inside of is 18mm... good luck finding cheap replacement downstems that long enough for either... just be sure to tell them specifically to ship it USPS or UPS (no fedex ground!).... 😜

Well damn, why am I only now realizing I may very much desire this as well... No rush though, I can see if they do another 20 to 30% off at some point... I would grab the large inline, but I just am not convinced it is going to be different enough from my inline honeycomb, however this piece would be different and likely better than the FC Mod base can with circ perc, a way to try this GooRoo holey inline perc for myself! :brow::lol:


Now even the mouthpiece seems pretty appealing, at first I was turned off, maybe by the larger sized one, but this one seems like it could be pretty great actually, even without more of a bend... plus it's modular! :drool: :lmao:

So, what, you don't think the downstem from the D022 would work? I can't imagine why you would think that...

I was really kind of surprised you didn't go for the 3 piece or the Inline. But you had so much else going on at that moment that I didn't say anything about it. I do know that you tend to like smaller pieces, but not exclusively. I know you would love the Inline...

Yes what I love is to cheap out on glass though, the $111 straight fab was by far the most expensive single piece for me, but yeah I spent a whole lot on a variety of cheap pieces from DHgate, I guess I don't really see much value in US glass and the extra cost? Despite the clearly superior quality... What I like about these pieces from GooRoo is that they are special in their own way, so yeah the perc is what interests me the most, and potential modularity second, but primarily I want to get a deep discount from GooRoo! Otherwise I might have gone for large inline custom with male joint mouthpiece... Honestly if I had realized I might want the three-piece back when I ordered the bangers as the 25% off was still working, then probably would have added it! Guess I'm lucky I feel like no one told me lol

Hey, it was that big discount that drew me in to begin with. By the time the price went up I was already committed in my head. If the whole discount had gone I probably would have only gotten the HD3, but it was only I think $11 more so I just went for it.

Yeah you were a trooper for moving forward with your large inline purchase despite the lesser discount, but it's also very solid that you got the larger discount for the more expensive piece! However I feel pretty confident they will offer the larger discount again for whatever holiday and we'll see if I can hold off then (or till then ha!)

Yup, and I pretty much said the exact same thing verbatim... (again, :disgust: etc...)
