OK first of, Ive been smoking a couple years, started in sophomore year of highschool and been into it since, just got my medcard and needed a new bong. Id had some ebay ones that were pretty good before, but I thought Id splurge. Now it doesnt even feel like a splurge looking back, it doesnt even feel expensive, been using this as my daily driver for about a month or so now, and omg, I mean, yeah this **** so fire. you barely even feel the hits. I thought the filtration would be a bit underwhelming considering the price and I mean i was like 'durrr where 5 more percs more percs better hits' but it really just vaporizes the bud istg. I wanted the bigger one originally, I had to get this off ebay instead because IM 18 even though I have a medcard, only downside is I woudlve rather bought it directly off here. Absolutely fire piece though, even my friend who gave up smoking two years ago had to put his vaoe throught it just to try and it it cause he thought it looked so cool. Totally worth it
