Yeah this kid i know, he introduced me to his triple glass blown piece a month or two ago. And he'd demonstrate how strong it was by knocking it against a concrete wall or the pavement and nothing would happen to it. But recentally he was showing some other kid how durable it was but supprisingly it smashed into pieces when he hit it against the wall or whatever it was against. I got this pretty ill piece in september at Boston's Hemp Fest '05. But i was blazing in my bathroom and dropped it in my sink.
Glass is funny like that. It can go through all manner of shit and make it out fine, but one little thing can shatter them. Boro holds stress, so even a super thick piece can still shatter if you are unlucky. But I love super thick pipes all the same
anyone that hits a glass pipe around to show you how strong it is doesnt appreciate it for the piece of art work it is...usually its a gimmick when you see a pipe that doesnt break when dropped they all will break eventualy if you drop them a few more times and all.....but a good time you would never drop and if you did it would still survive because it is made well
yeah i like to mix it up. When its casual and daily i use a bowl. When i wanna just get baked out of my mind i prefer a bong or steamroller. But its nice when you have like 4 people on a car ride or something to smoke a nice fat blunt.
