I bought my mate a crappy little acrylic bong (or waterpipe for those U.S.) as he was trying to give up the cigs. I had a toke of it, and thought it wasn't too bad.
I've never owned a bong before, and thought it was about time I invested. I didn't want to pay loads for one as I'm prone to breaking glass things, but didn't want to be ashamed of it either, and settled on the Black Leaf Percolator.
As soon as I took it out of the box I had to get it fired up (9am). It's a decent size & quite weighty, it has the feel of a quality glass piece. One of my main concerns when buying pipes etc is the bowl size is usually too small for me, but not in this case. I won't say it's too big, don't think there is such a thing, but it is generous. A couple of little tester hits and I was back in bed snoring.
Later in the day I had another go, filled a decent bowl & had it nicely filled with smoke through the perc. They say it 'creams' your smoke, but really its thickening it, and it works well. After the first of many coughing fits I was nearly in whitey land for the first time in ages. I tried again, and nearly busted a lung.
After quite a trial of trying to get it right I'm reduced to taking little girl hits, but I'm getting better with practice. Sometimes I think I'm getting used to it & bang it'll kick me again just to show who is boss.
All in all my perc is now a prized smoking piece, just a word of warning - treat with respect.
Here's the bumf from AliB where I bought it.
