Hit a reply fast I would like to go to my LHS tomorrow right when they open and nab my new piece. price for SG is 420, price on the Ben wilson is 300 might be able to work him down to 285 I dont know

If anyone has any other ideas to add to the mixing bowl please do! no more than 5ish... There is a member on here selling his Toro? I am so tempted but that is just over my roof of what I wanted to spend : ( agh can anyone make me rationalize why a toro is worth that much? will it be that much better than either of these haaha?

I say get the B. Wilson. The sov looks like typical scientific glass, but the B. Wilson has some personality, some originality. The both look clean, but even without the 120 dollar price difference, I like the B.Wilson waaaaaaaaay more.

Plus, didn't Wilson make those slides with the glass screen blown in? They seem to have caught on...or was he just hopping on the bandwagon? I thought he pioneered them, but I could be mistaken

Well see thats a double edged sword... I heard Luke wilson started the craze.. I keep hearing luke wilson is the shit but watch out for ben wilson rigs... and even online couple guys gave it a real average review... dont get me wrong I realize my price range thats about what you get. Something about that stem to inverted 4... its the same size as the mini inline its so miniature I would love to dab all day outta that thing.. but also having a worked piece will be fun vetting matching pieces ect. Slyme and black is big right now.

And yea, I'm making my first batch of errl tomorrow as well, so ill have plenty of time to snap shots of it while thats happening. I'm super stoked ive been waiti g patiently for months for a new piece and I can safely say there are 3 pieces in my price range that I want more than any other... the other is a stereo matrix but those look cheaply made in my eyes!

I dunno now, those triple doughnuts look likely could get water in your mouth if you cleared a hit real fast or too hard

Not yet : ( I took my buddy with me this morning and he totally made me realize that that b. wilson is all crooked and now that I look at it that way I feel like its janky... The owner of boro doesnt wanna sell me the stem to inverted 4 because its the smallest one Steve ever made... it stands at just over 10" tall... but "supposedly next order of SG's is right around the corner. So we will see I think I will like the stem to inverted 4 more than just a regular stem right?

Did you make that slide stand yourslf? I might have to go pick up some acrylic and larger drill bits...Did you use silicon or hot glue? Any reason you didn't 'weld' it with acrylic glue?
