Hey so I was bored and I decided to make a small glass piece. originally had just the diffused stem but then I added this sweet disc perc with like 30+ holes. stacks bubbles pretty good heres some pics, sorry i'm dry at the moment so I couldn't do a milk vid but heres a bubble stacking vid.

what is the disk perk made of and how did you fit it down in there? and how does the water not go from the top chamber down into the bottom chamber?
Lol, it's made from one of those old film canister lids. I drilled the holes then packed it down there with the fat end of a screwdriver. Ya the water stays up top it's weird I think it's because the holes are too small to allow the water to drop back down or something. I just got some bud and this thing is so smooth
it's cos you created an air tight space between the canister and the water below it so the water won't fall in unless you push it through. kind of like how a waterfall bong works. If you suck the water through the stem, the water above the disk will fall through the holes
could you show us what the film canister looks like out of the bong, i dont fully understand ha or make a write up lol that is a badass homemade perc!
no definitely keep it like it is. if the water wasn't on top it would defeat the purpose of the perc. just fill it up and do some bubbles to get the water on top. you accidentally stumbled upon the perfect lil piece, don't mess it up
I used that lid and drilled like 40 small holes with a drill, only took me 5 mins, then it fits just right in that glass and I just pushed it down there. I was thinking of adding another one but don't have another lid.
Ya i'll post one in a bit Thanks, i'm thinking of even finding a glass downstem and glass bowl to make this complete
so the holes just open up to the next chamber but the water doesnt go down? Since when did god die and appoint you the water warlock??? lol
Like the guy said above it's air tight to the chamber below, which is why the water stays up there.. they should use this technique for real glass discs
you could just make the glass disk a little smaller then the tube and put a rubber seal around the disk kinda like a weatherstripping and itd work perfect
Actually, the water stays in the upper chamber because the cohesive force caused by hydrogen bonding between the water molecules coupled with the adhesive force of water to another surface and gravity is no longer strong enough to pull the water through.
