OK help me decide on a bong

Alrighty, heres the scoop. My mom threw away my bong, which was a locally-blown custom piece from one of the upscale headshops, with a downstem/diffuser/glassonglass bowl from a head shop in Humboldt County, CA (Arcata). It was the fucking bomb. Ripped like a roor, and i only paid 70 for the bong and 20 for the downstem (bong was orig 130 and downstem was 75).
Anyway... Im looking at one of maybe 3 bongs that are really nice and in my price range, no RooRs for me unless theres a cheapie one. Hers what im lookin at...
Picture 1: My old bong, RIP.
Picture 2: Weed Star Big Mama 2 (Ice) Weed Star Glass Bong - Big Mama 2 (Ice) - Online Shop
Only qualm i have about this bong is that it has a carb hole rather than a slide, although it says it has an optional slide-in bowl, which im thinking means a pull slide, but i dont know im gonna have to call them to figure that out. I dont like carb holes NEARLY as much as i like slides. Glass on glass slides = the shit.
Picture 3: Molino Mad Scientist 3.0 - Version 2 - Online Shop
Problem is Its way out of stock, as are all the other molinos which i would buy in a heartbeat :( If anyone can find a place where these are in stock please tell me.
Picture 4: GrassCity.Com - Molino Glass Bong Large - with Clear Glass Precooler
Im thinking this is what im gonna get, but i still need help deciding.

If you get the gist of my choices i guess i want a nice large bong with some sort of artwork or visual aesthetic to set it apart a bit... If you find anything else like these i guess show 'em to me. Thanks.

I really like the second, very nice shape, and a nice thick slide. The third one is also nice, and quit affordable. I also like its simplicity, not to flashy and still very classy. So my choice would have to be the last one, since the second is out of stock. Whatever you get, it will still be nice.

Yeah i was thinking the third one too, also saves me a few bucks on shipping since grasscity is in the US of A.

Saving a few bucks is always nice. :stoned: By the way, does it come with the ash-catcher, i have always liked those.

Yeah that comes with it.
Im actually definitely getting that one, unless that mad scientist comes back haha.

still accepting suggestions, i didnt scour the internet hard enough and i know you guys know good bong sites that i dont...

support local glass blowers. also, shivadas.com has some ok bongs

Problem is, that im not 18 and chances are i cant get bongs from headshops that use local blowers, that was the beauty of my other bong, it was locally blown and sooo nice...

Only reason i dont like the 3rd is that it doesnt seem to have that big of a chamber, i mean its big but theres no bubble or anything you know... Itll still rip im sure, but anyone else have suggestions... i gotta spend this money wisely.

ARrrghh BUMP

first.

2, no doubt

arrrgh i want 2 but its sold out atm...
Im thinking three still, im welcoming new suggestions though...

These are some of my favorite bongs..

Shivadas Glass: Waterpipes

A little more expensive, but very very nice.

Damn i like those alot...

Get a Shivada...i have always preferred conventional looking bongs. Some of these crazy complicated bongs seem like there real easy to break. Also looks like some weird lab equiptment. Not that thats a bad thing...

ramble

out of 1 or 3 i say 3... they both look pretty generic but 3 has an ashcatcher...

if you are still at risk of having the bong being thrown out, dont buy either of them, thats a huge potential waste of money

buy urself an acrylic which doesnt get you any less high whatsoever at all and is more than $150 cheaper

save the nice glass for when u get ur own place or your ma comes around.

if youre not at risk #2 imho

yeah im not at risk, it was kind of a punishment for something else.
whatever i dont really care, i just want to get one as nice as it or better...
but some of those shivada bongs are pretty cool
i might get one of those and throw a diffuser in it, who knows...

you should look at the bushmaster cyclone Bushmaster Cyclone Bong - Online Shop

I like the last bong pic you posted, should get that.

So these are the 2 things i ordered... Total came to $124.35
Molino Hurricane Glass Spoon
GrassCity.Com - Molino Glass Spoon Pipe - 1 section Hurricane Earth
Molino Glass Bong Medium with Hurricane Precooler
GrassCity.Com - Molino Glass Bong Medium- with Glass Precooler "Hurricane"
