Due to a rash of glass breakage in my house the past few days (managed to break my pipe and bong), I'm heading down to the smoke shop tomorrow with the intent of purchasing the following:
Vape: Thinking Volcano (digi) or VaporTower (Didn't like the materials on the Herbal Aire as much). Might also consider an iolite in future for travel if I find vapes work for me (supposed to be a huge matter of preference between vape and smoking)
Bong: 5mm glass beaker w/o percs (too hard to keep clean), plus diffuser downstem, carbon filter, and possibly ash catcher w/perc (easier to clean an ash catcher). The downstem/ash catcher/slide seem to be VERY long and a probable source of breakage on the newer bongs. My old one was glass, but had a downstem similar to an acrylic bong. Roor, Pure, and Zob come to mind, but I'd take opinions.
Pipe: Just a nice "weighty" piece that fits my hand - that's always been a criteria for me, the way it feels - you can always find a color scheme you like.
Opinions on Bongs and Vapes are welcome. This is going to be an expensive trip - looks like Santa comes early. I already know to avoid cheap import glass - I think my local shop only carries US glass. I feel like a kid again - have not considered spending this much at a smoke shop since I first got to college and headed to the headshop for a bong, pipe, and several misc accessories. Pix once I get the new toys
