I've found that the smoothness of the smoke isn't determined by the amount of water it passes through before it gets to your mouth. It really depends more on the size of each bubble created by your diffuser - smaller bubbles have more surface area compared to their volume, so more smoke gets to come in contact with the water.
anyway, water levels should be approx 1cm above the end of your diffuser/bottom of your perc

IMO smoking a bong should be a privilege.

Since they are expensive as fuck, it usually is a privilege.
The bong I have now, was $40, it's a nice 14inch or so...

How can't you afford that?

Yours is decent looking. Every headshop I walk into usually has a rack of bongs ranging from $50 to $500. Some of them are insane. I guess you can get a decent cheap one under $80

I agree with what you are saying, but I have noticed that when I've added extra water there seems to be more space for bubbles to form, e.g.: more diffusion of the smoke. I could be wrong as this is just an observation I've made (while extremely high, granted.)

I don't consider it a privilege, I just prefer it. Bongs are expensive, yes, but you can get a pretty decent bong with some diffusion for under a bill easily. Now Vaporizers on the other hand...

That looks fucking amazing.
Longer doesnt really mean more surface area, but it does give you larger clears. Like, on a small bong, I can milk it and clear it 10 times to get a real big hit, but on a big one like that guy had in the vid, with the 4+ percs, Id love to give that one a try.

I'd make someone light it for me.
with my luck i'd probably tip it over with my foot.

It is like an extension to your lungs with drag being almost nonexistent

My Disk diffuser to 13 arm tree perc [I]Toro[/I]
Once you've hit this thing you could never go back to anything else.
wow. how much did you pay for that?
How does that thing even work?
[editline]06:05PM[/editline]
But it's pretty god damn cool!
[editline]06:05PM[/editline]
What is that "middle part" ?!
The middle part is the 13 arm tree perc.
I was going to make a thread, but I'll post this here as to not clog the forums.
What do you guys think about this bong?
[url]http://www.grasscity.com/flaming-skull-percolator-bong-clear.html[/url]
I got a coupon in an EMail for %20 off of any purchase, and I'm thinking about buying that one. For the amount of features, that's an incredible bong for the price. Is there anything I'm missing?
I've heard dom percs break easy, you aren't looking for high end glass are you? If you're looking for cheaper but still efficient glass then it seems like a nice deal.
[editline]12:43PM[/editline]
Does it include the ash catcher?
Would a tree perc be better in that respect?

I'm not looking for super high-end glass, but I'm looking for the best I can get in the $50-ish range. I think it does come with the ash catcher.
A friend of mine is a glasshead and I've just heard him mention that dom percs break easier. Honestly, they both look nice, but I would say the tree perc bong is better, I'm pretty sure it also creates less drag. I think Tree Perc is also more classy on a bong. IMO.
Dome percs usually have a lot more drag compared to trees, depending on the number of arms. The more arms on a tree, the less drag (all other things being equal)

That bong looks like a horsedong. Overcompensation?
Have you seen many horsedongs?
Oh, and as far as I'm concerned, it beats yours?

This.
Toro's are bad ass.
I live right near a store that sells many of them.
Went ahead and ordered this bong.

Thick glass, nice looking bong, but not too fancy for a good price. Also got a smoking stone and some glass screens. Will update when the order arrives. :cheers:
I've got the shittest purple plastic bong in the history of the world.
But it works so I don't really mind
