Good glass artists know... Function > Form

p.s. that is a vase, not a bong. There is no downstem/gong joint anywhere on the piece.


annnndddd yeah, learn your shit before you try to argue with me kid.

good glass artists know expression > anything.

it's not a vase nor is it a bong. it's a bubbler. There is a downstem you just can't see it.

learn your shit, because you are clearly a dumbass who is talking out his ass.

Why so hostile over a glass discussion? Seems a little third gradish....

I can't smoke blunts anymore. Well I can, but they kill me. Sucks because I love rolling them and i'm damn good at it to.

I am very knowledgeable about glass and I am being completely honest about those two pieces. Even if the piece on the right is a pipe, it will still cause mass drag because of the shape. I have owned and used several types of tubes, from old JBDs and alot of other grommets to a Double Tree Perc 26". I have owned a custom blown Marbleslinger double bubbler, Marbleslinger being the epitome of function, and his glass is beautiful and amazing quality.

To me and most people who use GonG tubes, the hit itself is the most important part of any piece. You could literally have the headiest bubbler ever, and it would be completely worthless if the hole in the bowl or the carb were too small. IMO if the mouthpiece hole is too small it's worthless also. When a tube has 8 sections, all of which change size and have "rough" connections, like...a wide cylinder that then has a skinny cone section above it...shit like that adds drag. A simple beaker bottom on a bong adds drag, so think of all the places smoke can get trapper/linger in those pieces. I'm all for headie tubes, but those suck. I like his dry pieces though and I think my shop actually has a couple of his dry/stemless pieces... they might be stemless or just dry..idk cuz i didn't really look, cuz the shop has a lot of headie stuff and it was my first time there :p distracted!


I love glass. I have always wanted to blow it for a living, and still want to when I have a place suitable for it.

Found em :) Still have the honeycomb marble from it...as if i ever get this replaced, i want this marble on it ;)








p.s. pack a bowl - good artists IMO work on function before expression. Once function is 'perfected' you can incorporate art. If you want to do art primarily then you shouldn't blow pipes. I believe mass artists blow pipes, even if they don't want to, just to make money. It's understandable, as it's probably 10 times harder to sell glass pieces like vases, lamps, wall hangings etc etc etc than it is to blow a few dozen spoons or bubblers.

Fuck no. You think slinger/ AK/ opas/deppe bowl would sell for as much as they do with some shit janky bowl push?


Most of my friend that have slinger and opas bowls buy them because sling and opas make some of the best pushes out there.
