When I did smoked, I notice that the bong stays cleaner longer with the CF.
A friend has a nice, 24" 7mm Roor.

i have a foot roor and my bro has a 2 `1/2 footer.... ive hit alot of roors and alot or illiadelphs theyre honestly the same mechanics i think that the hit from the roor is smother though. when your hittin it man you should "milk it" just fill the bong till smoke is pouring out of it.

I never understood what the big deal about Roor bongs were. I've never smoked out of one granted, but looking at it, the thing sits on a very narrow base and has a nice long neck and a heavy top. Who's fucking bright idea was it to make a 300-400 dollar bong that is that easy to tip?
I bought a 50 bong from my local glass bong that has a great hit, but, the week after I got it, I was rinsing it out with some nice hot water. the fucker cracked! I was so pissed. Wasn't shit I could do, can't exactly go to the store and get a return on a used bong. I just sealed it up with gorilla glue and kept on smoking. It's just a hairline fracture now, but it won't stay that way, I bet. Who the fuck ever heard of hot water cracking a bong. Glass on the thing is thicker than fuck, too. Never would have expected it.
I love the way glass bongs hit, but they're an absolute pain in the ass in every other department. They're hard to hide, they smell like ass, they break easy, they're expensive. I'll just stick with bubblers and such.
When the one I have now goes kaput, i'm not buying another glass bong. They're not worth the hassle.

Bong's are excellent, they get you stoned. My friend had a bong just like yours and while i prefer bongs with a mostly clear chamber its still real nice. You'll get the trick of hitting it just right after using it for a while.
Just don't become a slave to the bong!

cool bong tho. if im wrong about ur stem my bad, but just putting it out there & it may be the angle too, idk
At the moment it's doing fine. I'm having no problems at all. But yeah I might get a better one soon, just gotta browse the web hehe

Sorry... quad perc? That looks like a single dome perc with a splash guard over it. Or maybe two percs. How do you figure a quad perc?
Bongs are one of my passions... people just take them for granted and make arrogant uninformed statements putting down those that appreciate a well engineered bong. It's more than just features, it's about air flow and how the different diameters and volumes create certain pressures in different parts of the bong thus delivering a completely unique hit to those who can appreciate it.
ROORs are truly amazing bongs, I bought my first ROOR from the concept shop in Amsterdam and was blown away. I'll have to fetch a quick picture if I can find it.
As for PH(X)s... the design is basic and not well engineered. The drag induced from the multiple dome percs is a horrid experience and provides for a sub-par hit.
Your average bongs (such as the one seen above) is of course not a bad bong. I don't want anyone to think I'm talking shit about them. They're just not refined, they pack quite the punch but truly are not designed to achieve perfection such as a ROOR.
As for the soft glass bong you've acquired, congratulations. In all honesty, meaning no offense, those are horrrrrible bongs. Superior to a metal pipe of course and sufficient for many smokers. The first problem is the seal on the downstem which will never perform well. Due to the downstem to main chamber diameter ratio you will not have a smooth draw and clear.
My first bong was a glass on glass from a local headshop which I wouldn't buy again, but after smoking on that, then going back to a softglass type bong a friend had... horrible experience.
I'm not trying to tell you what to do or anything, just saying... I've noticed a lot of people don't realize how much there is to a good bong. The cost is justified if you can appreciate it. Ultimately... whatever, to each his own. Just you know... throwin' it out there.
I added a video above, although I doubt many are interested. Here's a picture below... that was from the first bowl smoked out of it. Arjan's Haze mixed with some White Widow and layered with Super Krystal Hash from the Kingston Cafe in Amsterdam. The ROOR in the picture is a simple straight tube with a 14.4mm diffused downstem. Set me back about 150 euros if I recall correctly. It really is a luxury, not something meant to pay you back dollar for dollar. I wouldn't ever go back though.

I guess I have the terminology wrong,. I thought every time it went through water it was considered a perc. O and no offense but you come off as a douche.

i dig the bong man. its simple, with a touch of class. i like the black with the white, has a nice look. definitely need to get a new stem for it though. as for the smell, im not sure what to tell ya. i always changed my water after each session... seemed to work well for me.

Yeah, it does the trick. I'll refill it before each use. Also emrandel, I know there is some ''precision'' bongs around.. but I'm not looking forward buying one yet. I might add one to my colletion someday but atm I'm happy with the one I bought

white lighter 
nice bong though. my friend had one similar until his father kicked him out (not in a bad way) and said he had two days before to go get it before he threw it out cause he didnt want it in his house 
but whenever we smoked with it we always used new water and emptied it out after.. never smelled bad at all.
and was your other question about clearing it? just inhale until you 'taste' air.
real cool looking tho. use it wisely

i figured that was the case, and understood it was a joking matter. the reason i brought it up is that the color of the lighter varies from person to person. i think a superstition such as this should at least stick to one dominant color. it would make things a lot easier. it seems no matter what color lighter i use, its bad luck according to somebody. maybe i should just stick with matches... or get a zippo.

haha, really? i've never heard it as bad luck other than the white one? maybe unlucky white lights are a connecticut thing.
i'd go with a zippo though. you never lose with a zippo

ya... through out my times ive heard yellow, actually the first time i heard the myth was yellow. this burnt out hippie dude who claimed to have been abducted by aliens refused to finish a game of pool we were playing at a local bar because he saw me light a smoke with a yellow lighter. he wouldnt even give me a ride home unless i allowed him to monitor its disposal. he was a weird dude, cool to hang with... but weird.
ive also heard black, orange, and green... this being the first time white has entered the mix. personally ive had bad luck regardless of the color of my lighter. go figure.
