How is that a bong if the smoke doesn't go through water? Sounds like a regular old soda can pipe to me. And that can't compare to a good glass bowl. Doesn't even come close. I'd much rather spend $50 on a cool-looking, durable glass pipe that doesn't alter the taste of the smoke rather than make a cheap homemade contraption that gives you nasty-tasting and potentially harmful aluminium fumes in your smoke.
