How much water do you find you need in these? Does it make a vortex? I'm sorely tempted.
Thanks, @arb.
That happens with all my stemless pieces when the water flows back into the tube the air gets pushed up and out......I just lift the gong to clear it after each hit and prob solved.I fill it to about 1/2 way up the top matrix, or right around the support piece between the downstem and the main can (same place at least on mine).
I haven’t tried filling it higher lately, but I remember it feeling like more water than I needed. Either way, like @arb said it’s low resistance, lotsa’ bubbles and it’s smooth and nice to use. I like the mouthpiece too.
The biggest drawback for me is that if you pull air through it fast and then stop suddenly it will push a lot of air back up through your vaporizer. That’s not necessarily a big deal, but with the FP for example it can blow flower out of the bowl if you’re not careful. With a VapCap though you’d probably just get a puff of air (or vapor depending on how how it was at the time) out of the cap.
Anyway, overall it’s my favorite glass piece so far, but I am interested in picking up a recycler/incycler which would have the vortex you’re looking for and should reduce or eliminate that blowback, but I don’t know if it would be as smooth and easy or not...
I have a WP that creates a cyclone, but it's a hard pull. I love it, but it's not the sort of piece you'd use everyday. I love the look of yours, and the price is right, so it gets to move to the Next Time I Deserve A Treat column.I fill it to about 1/2 way up the top matrix, or right around the support piece between the downstem and the main can (same place at least on mine).

That would be me. See if I don't flood the table. See if I ever get invited back...Yeah, I lift or just slow my draw at the end so the water settles gently, but if someone else uses it...
My mess making requires no assistance. That I can do on my own. You betcha. You do know that in some ways I'm gifted? This is one of the ways. My Own Mess, My Way.Worst case the weed puffs out On the table...........get mr madriguy and make that mess!
