Today I had nearly all my glass clean at once, so I figured I better take some pics. Some came out good, others less so. WTF, here they are.
First, I said nearly because I know there is at least one bong not pictured. I have no idea where it is. It is also possible (but unlikely) that I have some other minor pieces somewhere I have forgotten about. Finally, one of these was cleaned, but used before I took the pics. So I stuck a nug in it.
First, here is the current state of my pipes:
I count 15. First up is the one with the bud in it. That's one of my "daily drivers". I use that one a lot. It's a red-white-blue scheme with transparent areas and was a 4th of July gift.
Next is a nice little sherlock by way of a loop. It is compact and durable so it's a great pocket piece.
This is a pretty little sherlock in black, white, and rasta stripes. Unfortunately it will not stand up on it's own.
Here's a view as if it were in your mouth:
I got this one in Sacramento. It's liquid filled. Though it looks like a spoon, the carb is on the end, and technically this is a double-walled steamroller. It does the job.
And it glows in the dark too!
I bought this Sherlock in Oakland. I really like it, but it had two little blob feet to hold it upright and one fell off. I need to see about getting that fixed if I can.
Here's a nice piece of blue and yellow inside out work in the shape of a corn cob pipe. I love inside out and this one is very detailed. Unfortunately it does not show much in the pic. Sorry.
The decoration on this is so-so, but as far as functionality goes, it's a great pipe and stands up. Very stable.
I seem to be developing a liking for long pipes. Of these three, we see a "Gandalf" in red, a nice blue sherlock, and a blue steamroller that resembles bamboo.
Both of the blue ones are nice, but the red "Gandalf" is my other daily driver. In fact, this gets used 80% of the time I smoke out of a pipe. It has a single blob on on side that acts like a kickstand.
I probably would not have chose these colors, but the subtlety of the colors is really cool. It works well and you can dribble a little water into the bottom and it works as a great ash catcher.
Here's a closer look:
That coppery tube all coiled up is actually a coiled steamroller. And the finish looks like copper until you look closer and see it's more of a purple-red.
This little sherlock, which was left-most in the group shot, has stripes that go from clear to color as you turn them. One set goes yellow and the other looks bluish. You can kind of see both here. Simple, practical, and quite eye-catching in person.
This is a nice piece of inside out that was twisted to form a color tornado. It is thick as hell and hella beautiful sherlock too.
This one is actually a glass chalice. Notice the angle in the exit hole of the mouthpiece.
I currently have these two bubblers.
Here's a structural closeup of the yellow one.
I love the (normally) horizontal diffuser in this one.
Finally, here are three of my four full-fledged bongs. The one on the left was originally an Air Gravitron glass gravity bong. The outer vessel broke so I replaced it, as well as the outer sleeve of the slider. It works great. The blue one in front center is a thick commercial bong with a slide pullout. I hardly use it these days. The big clear one on the right is a HAMM 18.5" custom bong with glass-on-glass bowl. I could not afford this bong - it was a gift. It would be a $400-500 piece in any shop here.
The HAMM hits like a freight train due to it's size. You also have to really pull a lung of air and then go back for the smoke so it's not for wimps. I take this and the Gravitron out when I want to get someone wasted.
Here is a shot of the 12 hole diffuser plate that goes across the chamber at the level off the middle stem buttress.
Finally, miscellany. Here are extra bowls, separated by size.
In the top left and center of this one are bowl stands, one of each size. At top right is an extra stem bowl. In the lower left is a charcoal filter. You put a glass screen inside, fill with activated carbon, and put bowl on top. It's supposed to filter the smoke. I leave it empty and use it to adapt the large ground glass bowls to a small format bubbler/bong (I no longer have a piece for the large ground glass bowls). At the bottom right is a glass joint.
That's all I can find at the moment.
