that is some thin glass you chose. i understand the price but you also gotta think about the quality of the piece. they have some real nice, high quality pieces there at a good price. imo don't just go for price. Peace and GREAT smoking!!!!
I've only broken one pipe, though I've had a few broken by others. I usually savor the excuse to buy more glass. (I recently replaced a $50 bubbler with a $30 dry pipe and a $155 bubbler)
