Thats top grade work my friend nice piece. You have to be a pro at glass to do that kind of stuff.

 

[Tako]

Thanks HammerHead, I have a burning desire to make top notch smoking tools. haha -been paying rent for a few by blowing glass.

 

[Hammerhead]

My first piece showed today. I have not used it yet but should do the job well

hey whats up guys? loong time no see. ive been off these boards for a long time, idk why. i guess life just caught up with me for a bit, but i love this place. a few days ago i shopped 3 of my local porn shops for some good glass on glass but couldnt find annnnyyyythingg i think my area has the worst glass selection imaginable... anyways..

last night i came across some work from the Nate Dizzle, and his work blew my mind! his swiss percs are soooo fucking sick. here are some pics. idk the rules on posting links to the website, but its easy to find.



this is hashbeans new video showing off his new, extremely nice NDSP. watching it again right now and its just the most beautiful thing ive ever seen. i mean seriously---WOW

anyone on these boards have a Nate Dizzle Swiss Perc? i found some for sale on fmg but dont know of any others for sale anywhere else. what was posted on fmg was back in march 2010 so most of the good stuff has been sold already =\ idk if he sells his work exclusively to fmg or if there are other sites out there with his work for sale, but i wanna throw down huge on one of these. or if anyone has contacts with nate and can put in an order for a custom swiss perc, id definitely make it worth everyones time

happy new year everyone

Nate Dizzle Swiss Perc ... Would def say we're definitely crossing into "Art & Function " coming together mucho sublime , in a Nate Dizzle piece .

My long ass Helix pipe review.

My long ass Helix pipe review.

I posted this in Aqua Lab Tech's forum but I don't know if it will be posted since I didn't actually purchase mine from his site. This is a review of the Helix dry pipe that I wrote a while ago. The pipe is now catching on in popularity. My review is a long one, but detailed. Before I bought one I couldn't find a ton of info so I hope this helps anyone google-ing it for reviews or info.

This also helps if you want to understand the science behind it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle


"So I never found a tremendous amount of info this pipe and I ended up doing a bit myself. If you have been looking at this pipe I'll tell you what I know.

In the last several years there has been much advancement in so called "scientific glass". Which is generally a clear glass to help gauge the amount of smoke being ingested, but more importantly it refers to the new advanced filtration gadgets being built into water pipes. Disc, showerhead, waffle, inline, dome, halo, etc. Many designs of "percolators" and "diffusers" have been made and surely many more are to come. But they all have the same premise of increasing the surface area of the smoke that comes into contact with water, and thus cooling it. While at the same time trying not to cause excessive drag in the pipe.

Nearly all of the cooling technology at this point is involving water. Water no doubt helps cool the smoke, but it also takes much of the flavor out of the smoke. Also many of the pipes are rather large, and meant to smoke large quantities in a single rip.

Somewhat unique to the pipe world is the Helix pipe which is a hand held dry pipe that uses The "Bernoulli principle" to cool the smoke. The Bernoulli principle has become a hot topic in the Green industry as a way to cool exhaust fumes in a variety of applications, but has also proven to work at cooling smoke within a smoking pipe. The way it works is that once the smoke leaves the bowl it enters a bulb shaped chamber that leads to the mouthpiece. In this chamber are 3 small air intake holes that are all set at an angle.The smoke is hot and dense, and when the smoke stream enters the chamber it is hit by fresh cool air. The cool air is a different temperature, density, and aire pressure which keeps the gases (smoke) seperate. It causes the smoke to spin rapidly within the bubble of cooler air pressure caused by the helical air jets. It peels off a thin layer of smoke much like you would peel the skin off an apple in one piece. The smoke becomes layered with fresh cool air, and the surface area of the smoke that comes into contact with cooler air is dramatically increased. As it spins closer to the mouthpiece the temperature difference, and air pressures equalize and the air and smoke fuse. The resulting smoke is much cooler, and softer than a traditional pipe hit.

A picture is worth a thousand words and I reccomend you look at a few of the videos of the smoke spinning on youtube and other sites. Its a hard thing to capture on camera. The video on their website does not do it justice.

I looked at the science of it and it made sense, but I was a bit skeptical of how well it would work in a hand pipe. I was also worried infusing air into it would make an airy hit. My concerns were unfounded and I am very impressed overall and it is easily the smoothest smoking dry pipe I have ever used in all my years of smoking. Not only does it cool the smoke, but since it is infused with fresh air the smoke doesn't seem so hot and harsh. It has a much softer, puffier feel to it as opposed to the dense oily smoke dry pipes usually produce. It also preserves the flavor very well since it is air cooled. Due to how much cooler the smoke is you can take much larger rips than what a normal dry pipe will comfortably allow, or regular small tokes.

The visual aestheics are worth mentioning because the pipe is rather ugly by itself. But once filled with smoke the spinning action is like watching a tornado in a bottle, and is quite amusing to look at. IMHO much more so than any glass bead.

I'd reccomend it to any regular dry pipe user, but also to the bong guys who are used to soft smoke and big rips. Its a great pipe for topping off a high or for times you want a soft smoke without the hassle of a bong. I like it for video games or movies, where I want to continually smoke, but I can't constantly take bong rips. Bare in mind it is not as soft smoking as a large diffused water bong, but for a dry pipe it is very soft. More so than my 10 inch regular glass bong.

So now I sound like I am working for Helix, but I am not. So hold on, here is my critical portion of the review.

If you don't smoke out of the pipe properly it isn't any smoother than any other pipe, in fact it may be hotter. To use it properly once you have taken half your rip you should smother the bowl with your palm, and let the intake jets do the carb work. You'll see the tornado begin to tighten, as it disappears use the full carb. If you don't do this and just hit the carb what happens is all the smoke in the chamber stops spinning (thus being cooled) and you end up with a large hot blast of skim milk, rather than a jet of whole milk. This is why I think you see some folks who are unimpressed with the perfomance.

It seems the company has settled on one standard design that is proven, and used in their 3pc system. However in my search for other reviews and info I've seen several that did not perform very well, and seemed of shoddy quality. Also at the headshop where I bought mine they had "helix" ash catcher type things that go behind your bowl and infront of your downstem. Compared to my flawless piece the others were of noticably shotty work to the point I wondered if they were counterfeit. The holes were of inconsistent size and some were sealed completely! My pipe I inspected carefully before purchase and there isn't a flaw on it. It is of fantastic quality and thickness and I got it for only $70 (I bought the one piece dry pipe). I've paid that for thin dichro pieces of crap not many years ago.

In final thoughts I just wanted to say I love mine and couldn't be happier with it, but I have seen less than stellar ones. These quality control problems may well have been corrected as the company has grown, and those trashcatchers I saw might well have been counterfeit. I think that these pipes will become very popular in the future and we will see many more of these pipes and various designs which is already happening. A cheaper knockoff model is being offered called the "jetflash system" which I don't know much about. Plus a few companies have come out with larger bong or steam roller sized pipes with the same technology.

So it looks like there are a few companies getting into the market for helping design new dry pipes that are science glass. Which has typically been aimed at water pipes. The market is expanding, and this can only mean good things in the future for tokers."

Hi Motaco

Thanks for all that info, but would it not be like just using a dry Hurricane/Tsunami (which have been out for years), I own a Hurricane and it sits there gathering dust, it's not comparable to the smoothness that comes from smoking out of a multi-percolated piece, IMO. If you want to get rid of the nasties in smoke I'd buy a vape.

 

[juicepuddle]

No longer a sticky? Lame!

 

[Ramius]

Yeah, what's up with that?

This is one of the most viewed thread on this forum

 

[RoachClip]

I enjoy buying glass on the web but what sucks is the pics displayed and the actual pieces are changed due to the glass rods used when making the piece and I try to get into some local shops when time permit but I would rather see and hold the piece in person but that Piece Hammer has a unique design. It looks about 6 Inches tall nice size piece.

I'm going to get a new bong or bubbler later today and yeah, I'm super excited! It's gonna be my first new bong purchase in like four years and it's definitely time for a new one. What do you guys recommend me in the $100 range? Also is there a sticky or a thread somewhere that has info on all the different terminology and whatnot that goes along with bongs? It is really daunting trying to figure out what a 10 armed perculator tree or whatever it's called is or what a diffuser does. Thanks!

I want something that hits smooth and won't make me cough up a lung like my old POS piece does

If I had around 100 bucks I would go for something like this
