    looks like a longer down stem would be beneficial.

    how is 1800? Ive been meaning to try it.

    Yeah, i drilled those so that it drains right.

    These pics are of the older downstem i took off of it. The new one i put on is longer, and also has holes at the bottom so that it is diffused...forgot to mention that...I'll try to put up pics eventually.

    Nice eyes, this was a bottle of 1800 silver...pretty good...I'm not a big fan of tequila though

    ^damn now you make it sound kind of nice. im suprised the bottle didnt crack when you put that many holes in it though.

    yeah by the way what drilling method did you use.. ive heard filling it with sand. water. etc etc. or did you actualy have a glass bit?

    I'm confused, my understanding of a gravity bong is that the downstem doesn't touch the water. Because if it does then no smoke comes out. So wouldn't having a shorter downstem be beneficial and how would a diffuser work if its not in the water. Maybe i'm wrong i donno i'm high.

    hmm i think i can answer that.... you see since the holes are on the bottom like in most cases, the air pulls from the downstem since its going down with gravity... maybe? haha yea think about that for a bit im sure itll click sooner or later. haha

    I know how a gravity bong works. I was just under the impression that you don't want the downstem dipping in the water but i guess i'm wrong.
     
  15. #15 pantlessdrummer, Jun 13, 2009
    i gotcha ha yea i thought that wouldnt be good either cause it wouldnt pull as much air.... well i know what im gonna try later haha
     
  16. #16 Kalec, Jun 13, 2009
    I don't think it pulls at all really if the downstem is in the water because the water traps the smoke in the downstem. I think the water level has to be below the downstem so I think its better to just have a bowl at the top so you can utilize as much space of the bottle as possible.

    You should put up a milkvid.

    weird, kalecs idea makes more sense, but after watching the video, it looks like the suction is powerful enough to pull the smoke through the downstem and through the water

    i bet that cools the smoke too since it is forced through the water while the downstem is submerged
