thats not really a slider its still a carb, and a lot more effort
Still a good idea tho
How about a valve next to the bowl on the downpipe? Twist, air goes through the downpipe, twist again and it goes through a hole in the downpipe? Trouble is, though, that'd take some plumbing knowledge.
It'd be nice to buy 'em like that, though. Also, how about a one-way valve somewhere in the middle of the downpipe so you can fill your bong as high as you want?
now this guys a thinkerQuote:

you are both smart people, but i would go with penguines idea, on both of them, the one way and the twister idea.
What you are referring to is called a check valve... I know of none that are small enough... Also it would have to be spring loaded as water will escape a regular check valve because there is not enough back pressure of water to close it... Also if it did close a small amount would escape first... I will look in Home Depot for a viable solution and post it if I find it...Quote:

please do skink, now im interested, you could revolutionize smoking if you were able to find a suitable one-way check valve that is small, easily integrated into bongs/pipes etc, and there might even be a way to rig one so that it doesnt get resinated and cause leaks, which would be my main concern.
the stem is a great idea but what if you COMBINE the stem, and the valve idea.
have a valve at the bottom of the stem, that way you still have all the benefits of the stem, plus you cant blow-back and soak your weed, that would be NICE.
no i know what your talking about...
a baked idea i had a while back was to somehow integrate water bottle tops like the ones you just pull or twist to drink through, gatorade sport type things. i always thought that would work:thumbsup:
