Oh and, if you burn on your own and kick nice long sessions, get yourself a bubbler. You won't regret it. It knocks the hell out of using the pipe.
Damn, those are some cheap pieces. Are they good quality or just some thin junkity garb? Sounds crazy though. Think the local headshop sells pipes similar to the one above for about $40 but of course you can always barter with them.
