Well I just had another trip to the headshop the other day because my friend who doesnt smoke wanted to try some and i didnt have any weed or smoking tool with me. So i got some from my trusty dealer and went to the headshop.
Once at the headshop I looked around for a while, since I had a load of money from working I wanted something worthwhile and solid. Then, my eyes came across the BUDBOMB

[attachment=o76747]
I instantly fell in love with the deadly looks of this thing and decided to purchase it. Later on I tried it out and it works FANTASTIC. The smoke is smooth, so smooth that I was confused if its even working at first since i only felt little burn and only a little smoke came out. But before I knew it the bud was all burned and I was in SPACE. My friend said he got dizzy. This thing doesn't waste any smoke and gives you al the thc in the little bud you place inside it. It seems to get me higher than any other smoking tool I've used with the same amount of bud.

This shows how the spiral inside the budbomb works. This makes a really long smoking path and by the time the smoke reaches your lungs its very well cooled and pretty much all thc.

Rating:
Functionality - 10/10; Its really compact, and works when you want it to.
Durability - 10/10; Very heavy and hard, I could throw this around all day and still have it work.
Cooling - 8/10; the smoke is very cool and relatively clear, but since its an all metal pipe it tends to get hot when used continuously for a long time, although it takes a while since its heavy.
Overall - 9/10; although its a bit heavy and overheats sometimes, it is an excellent smoking device, cools the smoke very well and is great for packing and carrying around. If you're an efficient type of smoker this little guy is definately your friend. The budbomb is my workhorse for now for its functionality, durability, compactness and its smooth, strong smoke.

Cool. I might have to look into that. I'm getting tired of my pipe.

So does that thing use a screen? I hate cleaning, changing screens...

Also, how about ambient smoke. It looks like it's designed to keep all the smoke contained. Did you find the area you were smoking in to smell like herb? Or did it do a good job of retaining the smoke?

Interesting piece. How much did it set you back?

That is a very unique piece there. Never seen anything quite like that.

Yes, how much was it? :)

I'm looking on the Internet and I've seen 39.95 which looks like that's the MSRP and I saw a place in the UK selling it for 23.99 Either way, not a bad price to pay.

Anyone recommend any good online headshops? This and a grinder are on my 'get by the end of day' list.

It doesn't use any screen, just has three small holes on each side of the enclosed bowl. This thing collects resin like fuck though, but its really easy to clean so thats no prob. It keeps the smoke retained, and theres only little smoke at exhale since its really thin. I can't smell anythin in my room so far.

This costed about 4,000 yen which is about 38$? But thats just cus i live in Japan and everything is expensive as fuck here.

ive seen those online, they look pretty cool, but having the smoke travel the shortest path is always best because THC degrades every second its sitting in the air((this is why one hitters work so good), i realize it will cool the smoke making it easier to hit but thats because all the good stuff is out of it.

Looks like the kind of thing I could whip out in a crowded classroom at the end of class when everyone's bullshitting and hit :D

That's an awesome idea.:thumbsup:

when you put very cold water in it, you can hit so hard, it feels like you are just breathing air, with none of that burn. also it smells much less then the thick smoke of the pipe. bubblers give a clean thc hit
