Yeah, thanks. I love it too, so functional, it stacks this well every time if not better. With my SG if I want it to stack well I have to try hard to do so, whereas this one takes little effort even when it's clean (which it is in that pic). Thanks for the rep Jumbo!
So its made with the fact the it WILL stack in mind? It will always stack that high, recycling the water and i guess smoke/vapor could also be recycled just the same? .......I like it....
Keep in mind this is a very tricky design. The amount of negative pressure from the central chamber HAS to be less than the draw of the outward percolation. If this was not the case the water would draw straight up from the joint to the mouthpiece without even percolating. Very impressive indeed. Not too many recycler out there with this design. A much more intuitive design, IMO.
Look a little closer at the picture. The "downstem" for the recycling tube goes entirely through the perc. So as long as there is water in it, there's no way that any gas will travel down through that water then up through the tube straight to the mouthpiece. That will probably always be a more resistant path. The picture's not incredibly clear, but there's a little bit sticking out of the bottom of the perc if you look closely, so it's a bit simpler than you thought. If it was designed like I think you're thinking, then water would recycle directly back in the perc, right?
Wow... after seeing TheCanadian's link (in another thread) to the base stemline... I'm going to be joining this group SOON! +rep for that one!
What bore sizes did you go with? That's about how mine would vape, as I have the Heat Island (HI). Hope to have a piece ordered by the end of the month, if I can stay on my saving schedule.

Oh.. my.. lord... functions completely opposite of what I imagined. That is beautiful. Need to buy before apix blows up even more.
Every time I go to his website all I see is a gridded stemline how many different tubes does he have for sale right now? Not talking prices just how many models?
pretty sure he just makes them at random and has premade ones for sale... i dont think he does customs anymore. he updates his facebook pretty often so i would check there as far as current tubes go
It's 50mm can to 24mm mouthpiece, 17inch. I would have asked for a wider bore on the mouthpiece and much shorter. There isn't bad restriction but my jaw muscles do struggle with all that volume. My redo would be 50mm can to 32mm mouthpiece, 13-14inch.
