  1. No more combusting for me
    Mostly edibles with a concentrate kicker

    M&M make sturdy glass and well worth the money if you get a chance
    If you are using whips while smoking/vaping their down stems hold up nicely

    The water pipe comes with a nice bowl for smoking

    yeah that brand looks spectacular!! A bit pricey
    It could be years til I get another bong can’t find a desk job anywhere. Amg does not list
    glass thickness , and neither do most
    https://glasscitypipes.com/collecti...inch-beaker-base-glass-bong-with-blue-accents
    My current ones are probably 5-7mm but both are basic for $100 I doubt my la pipes is really 9mm base looks 5 or thinner ..
    My fake Amg who knows if it’s even 7mm probably 5 or 3 …

  3. The water pipe I bought was one of M&M techs cheapest
    My first "bong" in 20 years
    Since I'm kinda new to this had no idea how thick the glass was
    Bought it based on peoples experience with the whips
    Lots of folks broke their down stems because of the stresses at the joint
    45 degree angle down stems seemed particularly prone to cracking and abrasion wear

    What exactly happened to yours?
     
  4. it’s in a duffel bag right now in garage. Works fine just not top of the line like m & m .
    It’s not damaged, but the fake Amg base plate is .. still works fine
    weather is too cold outside for any bong right now . Sucks can only smoke blunts on days it’s below freezing temps . 22 degrees right now , getting colder . I’ll get pics of the fake Amg eventually added on here .

    The Amg base never effected the bongs seal and no glue is touching the inside of bong it’s all outside . Lack of ice catcher is what make me think it’s a knock off ??? Ehh logo looks legit

  6. I've got a standard 12" beaker style bong made in the California. 9mm. I can never remember the name of the Glassmaker but it starts with an 'M', and has a circular stylized M logo on the front. I got it at my local head shop for $99. I went in a week later and the same bong was now $200. It seems someone mispriced the one that I bought so I got an unusually good deal. Whatever 'M' bong maker made this knew their shit, it has lasted years and years.

    Everybody cracks their base eventually

    If it separates again see if you can get a solvent to clean up the glue and maybe use an epoxy resin to reassemble the pieces
    Believe they make a specialized epoxy for glass repair
    You would have a crack line but the rest would look pretty good

    What's with the elastic on your beaker bong?

    Moving on to a 710 dual coil set up from disorderly conduction

    Very nice !! The rubber band was to keep a diy base protection on mostly for stability as far as protection I doubt it adds much . I can get better pics of it later , not sure how I built it just got lucky had right parts . It’s in the bag in the one picture.
     
  9. I use silicone mats and pot holders for glass protection
    IMG_20220203_203806.jpg IMG_20220203_203821.jpg

    I break everything so protection is key
    I keep glass wands in silicone pan handle covers
    Use roll out mats at my vape station and the square pot holders for use in other parts of the house
    Try to buy things once
    Try...

    Very nice looking , I can’t find the beaker I’m using on g city this is closest one .
    LA Pipes Clear Beaker Ice Bong | 12 Inch | Grasscity.com
    Why is a beaker with downstem perc smoother then a straight tube with honey comb perc … I may try adding ice next time
    Using the thick boy 9mm la pipes beaker bong , instead of my 5-7mm Amg . Why is the Amg smoke so much harsher??? Leaves me coughing

    So beaker > straight? Or maybe depends on the individual bong or percs .
    I want something like this next could be years tho

  12. is Usa BABY
     
  13. Just a thought is to hire a Pipe maker/glass blower to see what they have in stock or what kind of pipes they like to make.
    Should be able to find a glass pipe maker on any glass blowers forum like MeltingPot .
    Good Luck
