I am going to buy a single filtration bubbler, but I have noticed that there were different types of them: sherlock, hammer, and sidecar. I want to know which type: *Is easier to clean *Is less prone to get water in your mouth when smoking Thanks.
hmmm i personally like the sherlock bubbler the best. as for the easiest to clean the hammer bubbler would be my best guess but ive never used one. for not getting water in your mouth the sherlock woulkd be better just from how its shaped. i would go with a sherlock just because thats what i like the look of better. they really arnt to bad to clean just run hot water through them and keep the water changed. they get really bad if you dont change the water often so i always tried to change it after a day or so depending on how much i smoked from it. if it gets really bad just soak it in some high percentage rubbing alcohol. you can see mine in my signature and theres other pics in my gallery. its broke now so i dont have one anymore but i loved it when i had it.
obviously the more curves and turns.. the harder its gonna be to clean... this is definitely the cheapest and easiest bubbler to clean... for some reason i have a special place in my heart for this pipe...
If its a desent piece and you fill it properlly you shouldent need to worry about water in your mouth. They are all going to be a bitch to clean. I would stick with a sidecar or hammer just because they are so much less likly to tip over and break.
I have made the decision to get a hammer bub after all these great replys. I'll post a pic when I buy it. Thanks again. :spliff: :spliff:
sidecars don't clear as well...a hammer or a sherlock would be just fine...all glass is easy to clean, with denture cleaner...soak it in a bowl of warm water and a couple tabs of efferdent (or whatever denture cleaner is cheap) overnight then rinse out. Works like a charm
only time you should get water is when you take a big ass rip out of a bong and wanna clear it real fast. fill the bubbler properly and you shouldnt have to worry about it if you dont suck too hard
