I don't do straight tubes like this one though, for that price you get something more artsy.

This was my entire point. 300 could of gone so much farther. I know artists on instagram blowing fancier, worked tubes, some even with millies and whatnot, for less than this beaker.

also those multi bowl slides are a piece of gimmickey junk.

lol 1/10 people validate you, now you feel validated.

when you already live in validation, it doesn't take much to feel validated. i'm unsure why you're upset over this, and constantly keeping tabs like you are. i'm not even getting upset myself, and i'm the one being viciously ravaged with words by middle aged men

why couldn't you just say it like this in the first place instead of coming off so aggressive?
the bong in my eyes, is worth it. i like the colors, the look, and the brand.

in this case; yeah. i forget that the majority of people here are old/middleaged men with imbalanced testosterone levels looking for some kinda negative attention.

Which is why when you asked for opinions and people gave them rather than simply read them, accept them and move on you've spent the last two days of your life constantly defending them like some sort of "my dad can beat up your dad" type of argument.

You've said that about 20 times. Why so repetitive? Why so defensive? Why so insecure about your statements? Why the need to constantly respond defensively to opinions YOU ASKED FOR?

And so it is you hurling insults at people voicing the OPINIONS THAT YOU ASKED FOR.

Hmmmm...you sound exactly like the old/middle-aged man with an imbalanced testosterone level you claim others to be.

I await your next moronic, defensive, accusatory, spoiled brat, last word whore post with bated breath.

hey bro! just got home from work, was really looking forward to seeing your newest novel you wrote about me, thanks again.
1- narcopath, is the word you're looking for
2- i've been on here for MAYBE 20 minutes, 1-2 times a day within the past few days, so i'm unsure why you say constantly.
3- i've said it maybe 2-3 times, give or take. other people have explained multiple times on this thread why the piece costs so much, but you couldn't take it as an answer, since you're prone to spending more then $30 on a single item (i understand, being poor is hard.)
man, you suck at this, you even got so desperate that you used my own insult. i'm waiting for the moment that you realize i've been feeding off your negative attention.

I was defending you until you said that. Seems like you are the one looking for negative attention now. Good luck with your overpriced bong bro.

sorry to break your fragile moral compass.

So everyone is different, right? Maybe you are prone to break stuff, so buying expensive glass is out. (Sucks to break a nice piece!) Maybe you have different priorities for how you spend your money, etc. That's why this thread was doomed from the title.

I started collecting glass when I switched over to vaping several years ago. I only buy US (or German, ie. Roor) and would never buy Chinese stuff from DHGate. Again, that's just me and I'm weird (or so my wife tells me)- I also only buy 18mm stuff, lol. DHGate is great for those who don't really "collect" and just want some fun, functional glass. I hear the quality is getting better, BTW.

As for worth of a piece... I always figure if it's quality and made in the US then yea, you pay more, but you also support blowers, jobs, etc. I try to buy when there is a sale, or from Boromarket.com. I've gotten some great deals. Below is a Fab Egg with opals that I got for less than $300 on 420. With it is my favorite Roor. I always bashed Roor thinking that you pay for the label- until I bought one from a shop that was going out of business. Now I have several. I'm looking at one now on AquaLab, but it's not on sale. They do have split payments now, which is dangerous for an addict like myself. Here is the photo:

What about those six hit ratchet bowls? Six one hitters on a big bowl that you could turn that you could turn to align each hit.. Are those still around?

Yes! I know exactly the ones....because I had one in about 1977! It was the coolest thing at the party! ;) I haven't seen them since. I had several brightly colored acrylic bongs that ALWAYS broke no matter how well I took care of them.

I’m proud of being 52, next week, middle aged or what ever you wanna call it. All those years of experience you can’t by on Amazon. I’m in good shape, and run 3 times a week. If you’re lucky, you might get to middle age.

Ps: Don’t drop that bong showing it off.

I'm 51.

1 neck surgery, 3 cancer surgeries, 2 knee surgeries, 2 back surgeries, 1 knife wound and two gunshot wounds later, I can't remember what it's like to run.

I miss it more than anything. Best I can manage is a decent walk pace, and I can only manage that for about a mile.
