LARGE Bore Tubes
Hey guys, I'm looking to get a new custom piece and a guy who I like to buy glass from recently got a lathe. He said his lathe can do up to 60mm for the top tube and up to 200mm for the bottom tube. I measured a circle with my hand and I really want something large () and I'm thinking about 170mm to 180mm. My question is do any of you guys have any experience with a tube that large? I absolutely love large tubes and need one in my collection.
Hopefully he doesn't want too too much, I only want a tube without downstem or slide plus it won't likely have any other forms of diffusion built in.
Also probably want a bent neck for this tube if the blower can do it, i'm waiting for his reply.
Also, when I look at videos of like 100mm tubes they look HUGE, but when I make a circle with my hands, measure it in inches and turn that into mm, it comes out as like 170mm. And the circles are even huge haha.
Not sure how to explain this well enough.

you want a big bong? ive never herd of bong sizes in mm. ive herd of glass thickness in mm and joint size in mm. my bong is pretty big i would say. its about 2 feet tall with a beaker bottom. the mouth piece is pretty big also compared to other bongs.
Well it's in CAN size, like stemless bong style. Should have mentioned that! Beakers are completely different.
canadian size? i see ive smoked out of a couple stemless ones. if the top is 60mm that cant be the mouth piece also. my mouth piece is 10mm and i feel its big. haha. im just really confused
Haha no, the nickname for the bottom tube with stemless bongs is generally called the "can."
Like this
That big ass bottom tube! But with mine I want a larger top tube and probably bent neck.
oh ok haha yeah i know what those are them its just confused me so much haha i was thinking it was that but i couldnt think of a way to explain it.
thts pretty cool but the neck is really thin... the ones ive seen are maybe 10 mm different at the most than each other. but that bowl is crazy. but i dont think it would be practical for me. a hit out of a one bowl bowl does me good enough
No way do I want a top tube that thin, it looks like crap haha.
These are the designs I came up for my blower.
Hopefully B, I like that look more.
And please excuse my horrible drawings hahaha.
haha yeah the thin thing deffinetly looked real weird. those are cool ive always wanted a bubbler like that
Yeah I would love a bubbler like that but I want to put the new worked dowstem I ordered into it.Originally Posted by dank smoker420
