he said he will get me one of equal value (30 bucks) and try to find one of equal size. I need a SMALL one, do you guys think I should do it or what? The glass bong is a slide.
i like both glass and acrylic bongs, so my advise isn't biased. there is a problem with your trade. a $30 acrylic bong wont be small. it will be between one to two feet tall.
yeah man what the hell is with your mate? if they want an acrylic piece so badly, they should buy it. Fuck that. Glass is awesome.
glass gives cleaner hits, looks cooler, feels cooler, feels more natural and so on, but acrylics you can abuse the crap out of, I bought a smaller acyrlic bong a few weeks ago as a replacement for my big glass on glass bong that snapped in half, well sort of a symbolic replacement, but seriously this thing is sweet, it goes everywhere, i can get really trashed and throw it against the pavement a couple times, pick it up and rip from it.
I think everyone is forgetting about how NOT versatile a glass bong is. Acrylic is the bomb if you're always smoking outside, if you smoke in your living room then glass is the way to go. Nothing better than loading up the 16" acrylic in my backpack, ipod in my ears, then going to ride the dirt set on my bmx.
