50 million metal bowl owners can't be wrong either.....metal is cheaper, IT WON'T BREAK IF YOU DROP IT, DUE TO HEAVY USE OVER TIME, NOT TAKING CARE OF IT PROPERLY, GETTING TOO HOT and so on...i agree glass looks cooler theres a point i cant argue with but i'm not fooling myself anyone that i know that's smoked out of both feels the same....and like i said if you taste metal you got a cheap pipe....cuz none of the ones i've ever gotten taste like metal....there is no taste other than the burning weed.
