For someone who buys a lot of cheap shit, I wouldn't cheap out on a torch. Get the GT8000 Bigshot for only 41$ and you won't have to worry about a shitty flame and it breaking. This thing is the most recommending torch for a reason.
I got a burl one at a pipe shop a long time ago, you could probably find one of those easily online, I have also seen glass versions but I've also never seen one of those last more than a year before breaking due to being so comically long and chinese
EDIT: $20 on amazon good? or are you set on glass?
DOUBLE EDIT: or how about just the straight up real thing
You can get on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L4HT1KM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Not sure if the price is good or not but I bought them. I don't go through them that often.
Third time Ive posted this but here it goes for those in need. Im an adult but dont own credit cards, my credit union will not allow overseas purchases on my debit card, this is what I do:
If you have a us debit card you can check out on a PC with a skrill account (for whatever reason wont work via the app) they charge 2.9% to upload funds but super easy to set up and works great. https://www.skrill.com/en-us/ You can even add product via the app for the app price and checkout on the PC
Many US debit cards block overseas purchases (like mine from my credit union) thus skrill is a work around. Should work fine on a pre-paid as well, they do require verification through a randon debit of 1-3$ first but credit your account the verification charge
yeah I would guess it's not lead based on the color, BUT if the color is coming off I would be concerned. That means it's not actually colored glass but paint.
You might want to try these strips to make sure or just not use it until all of the color is off. (Or if you got it from DHGate dispute it - you'll have to say the product isn't as described or something though)

I’ve used mine daily for years, almost never smoke without it. The point is not to improve the quality of the smoke or reduce the smell. It is to keep the piece cleaner and filter out some of the harmful elements from the smoke. Think of it like an ash catcher with added health benefits (as you pointed out). I use small charcoal pellets and they do not fall through at all. Carbon filters with the correct carbon work super well for their intended purpose, otherwise they can be a pain if you use carbon that is too fine. I’m happy to keep the gross tar that gets thrown out with the carbon pellets out of my piece and, more importantly, my lungs. I highly recommend you give it another chance, it’s a fantastic accessory and superior to traditional ash catchers imo. Here are the correct size pellets I recommend:
You could try privacy.com for it. It lets you create infinite disposable cards to keep your info secure but you could probably use it as a middle man to make your payments go through.
These were the glass screens I got. Too small to use with the cooling unit. Last night I was able to get one to sit tightly in the tip of the WPA I linked earlier though. So it sort of works now, but herb likes to get sucked up the the screen and away from the oven. Not great. A larger glass screen would be much better.
Arguably, yes. Sometimes I get concentrates that are sappy and I prefer using FEP. I've never had it rip like PTFE and they are reusable.
You can get them on Amazon or Terp Proof
No problem! It’s actually really easy to make your own pressed hash. All you need is a grinder and a pollen press (like $15 on Amazon). Grind your nug, put a quarter in it, and leave it in the freezer for 10 min. After that, take it out and shake for a minute or less (it’ll knock mostly all of the kief off) and you should have a lot more kief in your catcher than usual. Put the kief in the press, press it into a puck and voila, you grinded weed and a hash puck! Used to do this all the time when I smoked bud, fuck a plug make it your own way!
Here’s the kief press I have: T Press Tool 3.5 Inches Fully Brass Metal T Shape, Spice, Tincture Crusher https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N0YIZ5B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_iM0XBbA394M84

This is what I'm running rn, both came in 4 days from purchase.
blazer as the main torch, sondiko as the backup its similar to the torch your showcasing in the video but i scooped mine off amazon for $18. Would also recommend them as they are good blazer-lites.
I found this and I might get one to try https://www.amazon.com/Interface-Soldering-MOGAOPI-8W-10W-Solder/dp/B09T79HYPP/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=VEC7TM8N7EWR&keywords=510+thread+soldering+tip&qid=1663677068&sprefix=510+thread+solderi%2Caps%2C117&sr=8-3
I have so many batteries so this should be my cheap hot knife
It's no longer available. Seems like they pop up in batches and sell pretty quick. I have a couple of them that've gone out of stock and come back.
This Rick and Morty disc one is on my couch-lock 8" bong, works pretty well:
I'd be suspicious about any whip with a strong chemical smell.
You should buy some medical-grade tubing and use that instead. Like this, but make sure you get the right diameter for your rig.
I think they would work well with these ball screens.
I dont like the common style adpaters, they look too wide and the airflow would be weird
Just go to Amazon or a local head shop I’d say.

I bought this one a while ago and love it, simple yet effective. And it's Amazon so it should get to you fast. Check it out Here
It is quite difficult to find good ones, check out thick ass glass as well... Qaroma shop too!
Hey! I wanted to check in to see how you like it still. I’m thinking about replacing my matrix sidecart with this. It looks easier to clean and i like how you can take mouth piece off for quick cleaning.
The top of slide is 14.4mm right? I have a 14.4mm adaptor link
This is what you want if you’re going to try and save it

Yeah I own that piece and it leaks more than I like. I've been using this piece for a while and it's the only thing that makes a perfect seal. But I have to use an extra adapter which is what I was looking to avoid.
I have these. The little cubes fit past the ice pinch into the water. Then I can put a normal size ice cube in the neck. Since the cubes float they create a little percolation too. It's dope.
I’ve been using the same pair of these for 3-4 years now. Would 100% recommend: ResOlution Caps Universal Caps for Cleaning, Storage, and Odor Proofing Glass Water Pipes/Rigs and More - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B1ZLL3M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_V.CcGbR565Q4E

This one looks decent. Amazon is def not the best place to buy glass, but I would just search “water pipes” and hope for the best
Might be an unpopular opinion, but if you're cleaning your piece regularly you don't need an ash catcher. I have a lot of ash catchers, one for all my pieces. I ended up never using them. Don't get me wrong they're great because they add more character to your main piece, they're functional if you get a good one. Most if not all will add a drag, some more than others.
People think just because you have an ash catcher it will keep your main piece clean, but you're going to have to clean it at some point anyways. With an ash catcher you'll just have an extra piece to clean.
I use Grunge Off (you can get the same thing on amazon or Home Depot, it's just Citrus degreaser look for one with D-Limonene) and Resolution caps to plug/cover the joints (you can just use a wine cork, shave it down to size if needed). Let it sit over night after a big sesh, pour the used cleaner into a separate bottle because it's reusable. Your glass is literally clean as new, if there's still some resin stuck, you can use salt + ISO and shake. I rarely have to use salt and iso after a grunge off cleaning.
Having said all this, if you do end up getting an ash catcher, just stay away from honeycomb percs.
This for the past 2 years this has been my go to. just get a 14mm nectar collector tip instead of the 10mm and a 10mm nail so you can use it as a bubbler as well. If you break any of the pieces you can replace them for like $10. Easy to clean too
I've used isopropyl and salt before but I can somehow never get it right? I bought a 3 pack of 420 cleaner and it does the job well. Just pour some in at both ends with a little hot water. Shake. Rinse out with hot water. Little mess and only 6 bucks a bottle on Amazon
If you're in Uni go befriend someone in the Chem department and get yourself another one - some universities even have lampworkers they use to make/repair existing glass. If the later exists they could easily repair that broken joint.
Otherwise amazon is the only place you are likely to find new cheap lab glass items, eBay might also carry some new cheap stuff, I'd be hesitant smoking out of any pre-owned but they carry that too.
In India it was called “Pitara”, search the web:

im sorry to hear that man.. i wish the mods of the sub would get some morals and remove them from the list. especially when they are telling new comers to the sub to check the recommended list..
if you want you could always test them for lead to make sure before you toss them. but i can say with a pretty high level of confidence and with a blind guess that they do contain lead.

I've used a Kashtray for years. I picked it because it seemed a little nicer to have out. The nail won't break, the base is ceramic, and it doesn't look cheesy sitting on my desk. I've had no problems with it ever, and most of my friends have commented about wanting one.
I found mine on Amazon: KashTray
I'd have to test IRL to be certain, but I'd start with filling it with just enough to fill the bottom perc completely & go from there based upon the overall airiness/pull/splash factors & take it from there.
I know exactly how much water each of my pieces uses for preferred results because I use a little measuring cup to dial in the amounts precisely.
Eliminates all the guess work once you initially get the levels worked out.
Dynavap.com
I've got a LOT invested in vaporizers, I'm sure many do. There are vaporizers that cost 5-10 times more than the dynavap that I have. The Dynavap produces some of the best bong rips ever ( I have the wood body that is made for it). Truly was surprised when I hit it it how thick the vapor was.
I wouldn't just get the M. I'd get the full starter kit. Every issue I've had with my dynavap was due to not having cleaned it, and the starter kit makes it easy to do. Whenever I clean out the res, it works amazingly.
The only other vaporizers I'd recommend are way more expensive for the same effect. Except, I've had to RMA them as well, which means I have duplicates for the down time which is just not worth it compared to using the Dynavap, which I now use a lot, and causes me to forget to ship my stuff back for repairs.
The all new M 2018 is nice too, quite stylish. I can't wait for my carbon fiber body to arrive today.
Otherwise use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002DH0ID2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
To keep it clean or something like that to scrub the interior. I use a scraper tool to scrap out the cap area. The hooked metal dabber works well for me to clean the res out that area.
The M is also dishwasher safe too.
Under $20 and with Prime shipping . This baby produces a ton of heat and is reliable as hell. Not exactly the most fuel-efficient, as it's basically two torches in one, but this will drive your heat-up time way down.
As for cleaning the banger, put it in a ziploc bag with some iso and some coarse salt, remove the excess air and seal. Let it soak for like 30 minutes or so, giving it the occasional shake (the salt should provide adequate abrasion to remove the charred bits). I've also had solid results with Orange Cleaner (710), but iso is cheaper. Some people like to use Everclear instead of iso since ethanol is consumable, but I can't speak to its effectiveness.
then you should know its only $2.50 per foot for gold and silver at $2 a foot? like one inch is enough to do a rig and stuff. propane is like 10 bucks per refill a torch cost like 1,000-3500 bucks and kiln like 500-3k and a power bill are the only operation cost assuming you just built a shack behind your moms house to blow glass and dont have rent fees. i was being generous in the $150 blower cost. you are clearly some really bad 12 year old newbie reddit troll wanna be you aint got anything you say you have your not anything you say you are clearly just some scrub look at the way you say stuff. if someone has a $1500 "heady" rig and they go to boast about it they are going to leave a name with the piece cause heady aint mean shit to anyone but a 12 year old that googled "cool bong" one time
Fair enough, that grow tent is still a hell of a deal, though
e: nevermind I found a cheaper one on amazon
