After browsing the web for a new slider I just ended up looking at the glass bongs there were on the net. Some a pretty cheap and sweet looking... Makes me wonder if I should just switch to a transparent glass bong. I'd like it better if I could see the smoke.
I'm feeling stupid now haha, I bought this bong without even looking around. I should have planned this before. Look at that... Only 47$ + shipping. It's pretty big too, 42cm.

just go for anything with really thick glass, thats number one priority in my opinion.
second to that is a glass on glass slide AND downstem, that is key as well.
also i really don't like bong's with carbs at all, i like to pull out a bowl to clear a hit.

Here's a description... tell me what you think.
The Bushmaster Glass Water Bong range includes a variety of weird, wonderful, classic and downright sensible water pipes. All crafted with the single-minded intention of creating a great smoking glass bong without distressing your bank manager, these Bushmasters are the best alternative to the niché bong market.
The Bushmaster Glass Water Bong – Bubble Base is a massive 42cm tall and features a lovely big bubble in the base. No surprises there perhaps, but the ice notches above the bubble allow you to fill the rest of the bong with ice to achieve one of the coolest and smoothest smokes around. A truly classic bong styling, and perfectly executed for the Bushmaster range.
Glass thickness: 3.5mm
Joint Size: 14.5

I can't seem to find anything decent in this range under 100$. Why is it such a matter? Might break easily?

Also, is the bubble at the bottom only for the look? Cause if cone bongs go as well as the others, I might try my chance with this one. Also, at the very bottom is the only 5mm thick bong I've found, from the same serie as the bubble ice one I showed before.

This Borosilicate Glass Bong features ice notches and has a mix of striped and swirling sandblasted designs encompassing the entire round-foot base and joint and snaking all the way up around the straight cylinder.
The sandblasted design make this bong stand out from most others and the toughened glass is always a highly regarded feature in a bong.
Borosilicate glass is tougher and more heat-resistant than ordinary glass. The process of its manufacture involves the adding of the chemical element Boron which reduces the material stresses caused by temperature gradients, thus making it much less likely to break.
Joint Size: 18.8
Glass Thickness: 3.2mm
Pieces: 2 (Carbed)
Downtube/Diffuser Length: 14.5cm

The Bushmaster Glass Water Bong – Rippled Shaft is a straight cylinder bong with a difference. Up the shaft feature several ‘ripples’ in the glass which make it less likely to slip out of your grasp when carrying or cleaning it. As well as looking a lot more interesting than an ordinary straight cylinder bong, this Rippled Shaft bong also features ice notches about an inch above the rush (carb) hole so you can actually fill well over half the entire bong with ice to provide you with one of the coolest, smoothest smokes around.
Glass thickness: 5.0mm
Joint Size: 14.5

Sorry gotta say that ROOR is a total brand hype and disgustingly overpriced. I manage a smoke shop for many years. I have a ROOR, a Jerome Baker, PURE, Blue Dot, Jah, all basically the same thing. My ROOR couldn't stand up to my Blue Dot. It's all about the thickness of the glass. Anything over a 5mm is good. Anything less is too thin and will break first bump. I will agree that a diffuser makes it much better. In all my many years of smoking I've found that nothing hits better than an 18 inch straight tube with a diffuser (any brand).
WAZ, yellow lighters were bad luck for us in Idaho. Funny.

Irijes makes some good points, like i said it's gotta be at least 5mm IMO. Most of the bongs i use are 7mm though and my friend has a freezable illadelph thats 9mm which completely pwns. My roor is an 18" straight tube with a diffuser and i can say that it hits heavenly.

I'm not looking for an expensive bong anyway. I want something under 100$. But all I can find that is looking decent is the bushmaster tube one. It's 50$+shipping, 33cm tall and 5mm thick. I would like something without a carb but it's not THAT important.
The only cone bongs I seem to find online are all expensive pieces... I'll probably end up buying the bushmaster one if I can't find anything else. Anyone know great sites?

Yeah... I wish it was thicker. Why is the thickness that important? 35mm thick will probably break? What if I just take care of it and carry it in a case?
