I'm in your shoes OP as I bought a $250 Sheldon Black bubbler/bong. I never thought I'd spend that or think it's worth it. I'm wrong on both counts and can say I save on my medication because it hits so well and strong that I smoke half as with any other mean including vape. It's worth it.

LOL shit is funny,

squat or long,

30 years ago I used to share a house with another guy in the Gold Coast, Qld, we had a bong named "Billie".....what a great bong she was, first thing in the morning until the last thing at night...we used to talk to her like she was a sweetheart, crack jokes, say hello to her when we came home form work, just as if she was one of the gang etc..she was always part of the conversation, and it's not just because we were smoking good Aussie sativa bud..or maybe it was?.

even to this day I think more fondly of her than many of the girls I've been with ..lol

when I moved..I must admit I had thoughts of kidnapping Billie, but she talked me out of it....damn, it was sad saying goodbye.

 

[Headbandf1]

i think i may have kissed Billie in surfer paradise many years ago.

Well I tryed out the B. Wilson slide tonight. It worked fairly well I guess. I prefer the ice pinch one that comes with the bong though. It seems to snap cones better. The wilson one leaves alot of ash left in the cone. A positive of the wilson piece is that it is bigger then the ice pinch, for those nice fattys!!

You know whats funny? when you meet someone with a $500 bong but they only smoke shwag

I guess they need all the fancy shit to take the asshole flavor out of their weed.

People do not buy nice bongs to get more high - its about getting high with a greater level of comfort, with ones specific choice of percolation, and with a well made piece. Further, when you use something often, investing in high-quality workmanship and functionality is hardly a waste of money.

And if you must compare a bong to a t-shirt, I think a more fair comparison would be to an expensive athletic shirt like Northface VaporWick or Nike DryFit... Not just about looks - the shirts and "expensive" bongs have innovative features that make using them legitimately better, and for those who can afford it, justify the extra cost.

Nice glass also holds its value pretty well. Rare pieces increase in value and high-end glass can typically be re-sold for 75-100% of the original price assuming you got a fair deal. Brands like Toro also stand behind their glass, and will repair stuff that randomly breaks.

So yeah, lot of reasons to buy a nice tube besides style... Seems to be working pretty well for this dude though hehe -

we're not suppose to post picture of ICMAG members, Crush will be pissed!

JP from toro said on facebook to return the broken piece to the shop you got it from . make sure its 200% clean . For 50% of retail of the retail cost toro will fix a piece. but it might take them forever.

As another member said it's not about trying to get more high or anything, to me it's art. Do you collect anything or does all your money go to cannabis? I really hate people who always try to compare getting bud or glass. Glass is a collectors item, and as bong said it's value stays. I've sold a couple pieces for a decent amount more than I paid for...


I love buying expensive boro alllllllll day!



Btw 30$ roors are most likely fake.

 

[ReelBusy1]

I have a $400 limited edition Sheldon Black bong that was a gift.
It's #3 of 250.
I know the retail was $400 because my buddy forgot to take the price tag off.

 

[Midnight]

I think it's rather lame to spend $300.00 on a bong and then not post a pic. We want bong porn damn it!

 

[Dislexus]

Sorry, this mass produced stuff is not art.

Now, if it were some badass unique handcrafted glass art piece that you could smoke out of, that I could understand laying change down for. If it made a statement, evoked emotion, expressed movement in static... shit pay even more.

But otherwise, its just the same as buying any brand to impress ya bros. Hence the a&f comparison. I understand, when I was a kid I just had to get some Air Jordans... then it was Doc Martins... But hey, a shoe is a shoe, a boot is a boot...

The funny thing is the comebacks. "You must not have the money, you must spend all your money on weed." LOL what are you 12 at a junior high lunch table tryin to make fun of the poor kids! fucking hilarious
