thats a lot of filtering. i have a phx duo and a phx ashcatcher and i love it. but soon ill be upgrading to that type of monster. have you ever put hot water in that thing? i read that hot water would get rid of the tar and all the "bad stuff" in the smoke because the water is closer to temp of burning smoke so it filters it out better...or something...i dont know but i only use hot water in my duo and love it. i think it hits way better instead of cold water and ice. but none the less, thats a piece to be cherished.
