So I ordered this bong from GrassCity two weeks ago and it showed up last night.

I'm in love. This has to be one of the smoothest smoking bongs I've ever tried. Nice thick glass, with an in-line diffuser built in. Can't believe it's selling for less than $60. My only "complaint" would be that the bowl that it ships with is a little on the large size but I had a smaller 18.8 bowl that I was able to drop in.

I have the same bong and i've gotta say, there is no way in hell 3.2mm is even remotely thick glass. I flipped a shit when i got the box and it didn't even feel like there was a bong inside. It was my first inline and i loved it for a couple weeks, mainly due to the fact that it was the fastest clearing piece i owned. But once i got the stemline i came to the realization that, well... the nautilus is a piece of junk haha.

And yeah man the bowl that comes with these things could fit 2 grams of high grade all broken up easily. Shit blew my mind haha.

How thick do you want it? I like the size/weight. It's heavy enough that it feels solid but not so heavy that you're working out while getting stoned. :)

5mm atleast anyday. Cleaning the inline i have to treat it like a baby cause i'm afraid one dumb stony whack against the sink would end its short little lifespan haha. My main concern on the whole piece is the glass on glass joint. It gets way thinner and with a real deal heavy duty namebrand ashcatcher it's kinda sketchy.

No worries. It's also that it really fits my need. I need a bong that's less than 13" high I I prefer then angled back neck.

I thought about buying a piece online, then I realized I could just get off my ass and go to the head shop and buy a pipe instead of waiting 2 weeks for something to smoke out of. But I was smoking good quality hash out of a can.

I love Red Eye Glass its a BC glass company. You can find lots of stuff of theirs here in Canada. I got a 8 inch bong with an ice catch and built in defuser for $55. Plus its thick as hell. Also got a Red Eye pipe, I like to keep the stickers on em like people do with their hats.

I have this pipe, and I like it very much. Yes, it has somewhat thin glass compared to much more expensive pieces, but the hit is nice. Huge bowl though. I def don't fill it up! I use it maybe once or twice a month. Preferring my bubbler for daily smoke. :-)

Not to be the buzz kill here, but blackleaf sucks balls. Their pieces are made like shit and everything breaks real easy. You get what you pay for. Roor is pricy, but their glass pieces are made to last. I have a whole box of broken glass that reads blackleaf.
...but I don't own a roor, and my wax bong is a blackleaf I've been rippin thru for over 4 years. But its got a chip or two.

Going to have to disagree. I've had this bong for over 2 years now and it's been banged around a lot but still going strong.

Another thing that I've found I really like about this bong is that it smokes like a much taller bong but because it's short it's the perfect size for sitting on the desk next to me and I can smoke out of it without having to stand up or contort myself into a weird position.
