definetely looks very well designed and very functional, but i personally only smoke from glass. i'm sure it's a great product tho and best of all it doesn't really look like it's a weed product, so you could probably have it in your car and never worry when u get pulled over or smth
a hexagon shaft, 12mm thick, doubled walled beaker base. 16-18" with low internal volume. no ice notches for better cleaning and ice filling. I'm a basic bong guy
I've never I've never tried any extra filtration like the ones you mentioned, do they actually cool down the smoke?
I use the carbon filter myself, but no it doesn't really help with cooling down the smoke. The carbon filters out any carcinogens produced by combusting the flower, so it might in fact make the smoke a little less harsh, but not really any cooler. The same can be said for the cotton filters, they just filter out more debris from the smoke so you don't inhale as much, but the cotton does severely decrease airflow, meaning you have to pull almost twice as hard as a normal hit. These filters I mentioned are more for a healthier hit, not so much for cooling down the hit... That's where the ice catcher would come in.
Coolest idea I can think of is a bong that detaches somewhere and can be used as a bubbler or something when detached. Or like a beaker bottom that you can detach and attach different necks with different percs. If that makes sense... like a base that you can interchange the straight part to use whatever perc or size you like. I.e. Some like tall bongs with no percs while some like short with one perc etc... Let me check out the cad file if you get that far ahaha
When considering the ideal features for a bong, several aspects come to mind that would enhance both functionality and user experience. First and foremost, a well-designed bong should prioritize filtration and cooling to deliver a smoother hit. This can be achieved through multiple percolators, ice catchers, or water chambers that ensure the smoke is well-filtered and cooled before inhalation. Additionally, durability is key, so using high-quality borosilicate glass or other sturdy materials can prevent breakage and extend the lifespan of the bong. Ergonomic design elements, such as a comfortable mouthpiece and a stable base, also contribute to ease of use.
I've been making glass bongs from liquor bottles on/off since 1975 & down stems have always been an issue. The "new" glass ones with diffusing ports are excellent but getting expensive & you can't cut them to your desired length.
I considered that once but I didn’t have the proper tools it was easier to just buy a bong. But my original bong I don’t seem to get high from anymore. Maybe lack of volume ? Liquir bottles I couldn’t keep my mom tossed them all even the expensive ones .
