Thanks for all the input! I think I've decided to make a compromise; a nice bubbler or smaller bong for when stealth is not an issue, and a pipe for travel (as opposed to the limit of a single device). Does anyone recommend any specific pipes? I was looking at grasscity and found something called the Monkey Pipe (Twister Pipe). It looks pretty groovy, but I'd like to know if anyone has any experience / opinions about it. I like the fact it is so compact and you have a packed bowl ready to go just by flipping the thing open. Because it is wood and metal though, I'm wondering if it would overheat?
