You just stick a larger nug at the bottom of the bowl, so you don't suck it all into your mouth but smoke can still get through... no need for a screen with a pipe. :thumbsup: :jointsmile:
Yo but some bowls have a nice sized hole in 'em. And that nug get smaller when it gets burned.

For example I was smokin' the other night and the last nug got sucked down halfway in the stem of my bubbler. Well I held the lighter down real far and got 3 more hits off the piece of bud that fell threw. Had that been sucked into the water, I woulda been done smokin'. Sure its not a lot, but do you wanna lose 3 hits for every bowl you smoke?

Glass screens are pretty nice. Not a necessity, but if you are very conservative then you might wanna use 'em.
