Aha! A properly rolled joint will never waste any weed.Quote:

Big glass advocate here.
Several things to consider;
1) The dimensions of the bowl itself. If you mostly smoke alone, you dont need a bowl that could accomodate a full gram.
2) Distance from the bottom of the bowl to the bottom of the pipe. If this area is too small. its gonna clog. alot. I like a bowl with a "fat" end. and plenty of breathing room around the bowl.. it fills with more smoke this way anyway.
3) I never thought this mattered-- but it does.. Carb on left side or right. Try both to see what feels better.. and make sure the carb isnt poorly positioned, eg. too close to the bowl, those thumb burns suck.
hope it helps.. glass rules
Glass, seriously. As most said, glass is just... convenient.
One thing I noticed between the two bongs I own: The acrylic/metal slider bong (melvin) and my precious glass beauty bong (pandora) used to be equally good quality... and then melvin began to break a bit. The metal slide also would heat up a LOT and it was annoying, and was difficult to clean. Glass bongs (or pipes) are awesome because they're easy to clean and they don't heat up as fast. Pandora's been around for months now, and nothing's wrong with her :)
Glass = amazing
i think it's safe to go with glass. i started out with a metal bowl and i hated it. granted you can break it down to clean it, but once i tried a glass bowl i just got rid of the metal one. plus, cleaning glass is so much easier and personally i think that it tastes way better! as for wood, i've never even thought to try it.
