This is one of those purchases that hurts a lot going into it, but once you have it, you'll be very glad you went through it. I liken it somewhat to a recent wisdom tooth extraction .... I was really worried about it going into it, but am soooo glad they are gone now.

It WILL save you bud - nobody has said anything but, and that alone will help you actually get a return on this purchase - what water pipe has said that (especially now that they are reported to waste more bud anyway).

It WILL save your lungs. It's been about a year since I first purchased mine, and my lungs are really better for it. There isn't the dark phlegm as with burning the bud.

Guests will enjoy the lack of smoke smell in the house. There is still social activity involved - some have claimed that it's not the same as 'sharing a bong or blunt', but I disagree. I have a couple filling chambers and mouthpieces, and enjoy the same social activity around imbibing as I ever did with passing a bong.

In short .... buy one, you'll be very glad you did. :thumbsup:
