Youre like me. I like to mess with things and modify to my liking. Right on going for the 15 dollar bong. Them fancy glass ones are nice but just like windows or mirrors, you gotta keep it clean. if not they look horrible. So there's maitenance. You got the better choice for right now. and who wants to spend money on stuff. LOok at Mrs Pretty. I broke her

So I took that thin glas piece (that to me ya dont need that extra piece to smoke; so I never used that extra piece. it did come in handy) I just bypassed everything like I would a catalitic converter. Poof I used tape and put the titanium tip together. It worls great! loolol and Ive been using about 2 weeks with no problem.
