i live in sacramento capital of CA and youd think one of the 7 or 8 smoke shops i know SOMEONE WOULD CARRY A ROOR. perc or no perc. but maybe when i have some cash in the future ill head to LA for a reason. and personally i love phx. i love the percs and ive never had a problem cleaning. that i AM obsessed with, cleaning my glass. and i agree glass on glass is 10x better than glass and grommet seals. im a pretty good observer and i take my time before purchasing a piece that expensive so what are some things to look for Tokudai? you mentioned the glass on glass seal being good and checking how straight the base is and the symetric ice notches (even though i dont use ice, i use just hot water) and checking the "welds" or joints as i call them. since i think im gonna shoot for the tall trinity straight tube style phx ill have to keep all that in mind. i probably wont be getting this til xmas but its good to plan cuz itll be here as soon as you know it. ill have to post a pic eventually of my phx duo and all. and please if you guys have some high end stuff id love to see it!

thanks for the constant feedback fellas.
