how does one glass hit better than another? :roll:

find a quality company who uses quality glass and they are all the same. the rest is how much you want to spend on the name. the girl at the glass shop says she just laughs when people spend 400 dollars on a roor when this is right next to it for half the price. :-P


this piece is my favorite. :clap: View attachment 311385 View attachment 311386 View attachment 311387
very nice! i like that piece man!

the whole better hitting shit, do you notice when you hit it it kinda holds back the smoke? i dont know if you have multiple downstems in the perc chambers in the neck, but some roors have that, some other companies do that too tho! n e way, its much better because when you rip it its letting more air through than just one small downstem, the more air you can suck through at one time the more dense and powerfull the hit. that would be the only way i could see it mattering, but yes find quality glass.

and quality doesnt mean fuckin cost you an arm and a leg, it kinda gets to an ego thing with blowers like roor, and idk if youve heard of him but Brandon. these guys used to sell theyre shit for over half what it is now, its gone up so much because its become such a popular name, roor is all over high times because they are on the frontline of what they are doing, well the lines move up, brandon was on the frontline of what he was doing too but now ive seen way nicer pieces from newer blowers for half the price, they get cocky cuz they get a centerfold, but hey, they have the right dont they?

How could you say all pieces are the same? You people dont know shit about bongs if you say all are the same. Its a hobby collecting pieces, each one is a piece of art. Is spending $100's on art pieces that big of a deal? shit people spend millions on useless paintings. At least I can toke theses motherfuckers. .

PHX ARE CHEAP THIN POS'S, RIP LIKE SHIT TOO!
who the fuck are you to own 5 of the nicest bongs blown by Luka? i almost broke my jaw off it fell so far open.

illadelph glass would be impossible to recreate? really? think about that for a little while.... or maybe i should..... what excatly makes its glass impossible to recreate?
thats what i was saying, thats like saying you could never learn a technique someone else uses... people think they are original but the same shit has been done for thousands of years man. every technique in the book has been done by some egyptian or italian. they are not impossable to recreate at all. just hard. and yea he is an amazingly artistic blower, and his pieces are durrable.

if you dont want to spend the extra on art pieces every artist makes regular old clear... but yes every artist is different... luka is in his own class when it comes to bongs.

No other company out there consisintely making as sick glass as this.. Glass blowing is impossible to recreate no matter. I have yet to see anything as nice as these peieces. Ps never said these were mine, there first pictures with the purple, 9 mil and pink glass is. You cant talk shit till you own one. I have bought 1000's bongs, pipes and bowls and theses are my favorites. The chicken is deposited on, comes out in march.

k that second bong up is tight as fuck, but how often do you see one of those not on the internet?

and yes there is hundreds of people that pump out much more detailed and intricate work than luka. hell it looks like youve been to glasspipes.org, dont you see everything else?

this is some of my fav. artists less detailed, big work.
now i only challenge what you say because you say glass, like you mean glass in general. if you are talking bongs in that style, he is most deffinately at the top, but all together glass whise, every type, no, not even close... sorry, just my oppinion, but hey! everyones tastes are different and i deffinately know where your coming from. bongsmilie

roor, and illidelph are name you know you can trust, they are known for theyre quality, so you dont have to buy a nice lookin bong just to go home and break it right away due to thin areas, caused by rushing and not centering. they are expencive because they are quality work, they take time with each piece to make sure its right.
thats why people buy them.

but hey fdd, thats why new poeple start blowing, im sure you and i will come up with our own unique styles, you just have to master what has been done befor you can improve on it, or just figure something out thats not around... and work at it. you could have a million fresh new ideas but that doesnt mean anything if you cant do it. and you can only learn by doing!
