Much better. You'll notice that the smoke tastes better now because you don't got as many gastly plastic fumes all up in yo lungs.
Good work on the mod. It makes this a little bit safer, but if you're going to make anything I would just make a Sobe waterfall bong. It works well and there is no plastic. Of course, I must admit when I first made it I used a plastic button as a screen. Haha, I did some stupid stuff back 10th grade year. Btw, just search Sobe Waterfall bong in google or youtube. I remember there being a really detailed video as to how to make it on youtube but it might not be still around.
