I was kind of skeptical about getting the cheaper dome one cause so many people on here had trashed it. But now that I've used it, I tend to think that people might not have taken the time to do the process correctly or something, because it rivals my two and a half foot bong. I usually grind up the stuff really well, way more than I do with a bong or j, then let it fill up quite a bit before everyone starts. It's a really spacey high and a little more energetic, like most people say. My wife and I used it last week before we headed out to the motley crue concert, and it was almost sensory overload! I seriously thought several times about trying to run and get up on the stage(we were fifth row), especially after some dude did attempt it and nikki sixx pulled him up there. But anyway, bong, vape, j, it's all good.
