what should I look for in a bowl

Yeah, Bubblers suck because alot of the time they are top heavy, or lopsided so they tend to spill thus soaking your ganj.

For portability I use a glass piece that is about 3 inches long with a sm/md sized bowl.

Or you should just roll a j

I know that my piece has a really sturdy feel to it because it has like a matte finish instead of a smooth shiny finish. Otherwise it might be fragile because its a pretty thin piece.

dont buy a bubbler. if you want, you can buy a sweet small bong, i have a 15 cm bong that i got off drbongs.com for 25 bucks. Otherwise, I'd say buy a nice spoon.

hell yes brotha. Somebody knows what I am talking 'bout. Sure beats any other glass pieces in the category of 'under a hundred bucks' that I have ever used.

And even then, huge, nice bongs cannot match the portability and ease of cleaning. Mine fits in my pocket and in the sink!

Peace

yeah man but when it comes to our delicious wonderfulness, it's worth every penny. I have to agree 100% that a volc is the cream of the cream of the cream.....OF the cream of the crop!
As I always say- you have to live with what you bought, long after you forget how much you paid for it. so go big or go home imo :jointsmile:

Although I sometimes find myself going back to traditional methods when the stash is low...

I find the most important thing in a pipe or bong bowl to be the actual shape of the bowl itself.

often times, you will come across a mass-produced metal or glass bowl shaped like this \ /
the problem being, air is pulled in from the sides rather than straight down and the weed on the bottom is burned unevenly as a result.

I prefer bowls shaped in this fashion: U. steep sides, and deep. this way, air is being pulled directly down from the top making it easier to cherry the bowl.

I usually compare bowl width and depth using my pinky finger. stick your pinky into the bowl, then the next, then the next and see which bowl harnesses your pinky the most comfortably :thumbsup:
