FYI Post. 2 weeks with a Stundenglass

Let me start this by saying I'm not affiliated to anyone or any services and these are my own opinions.

Straight out the box this piece has the nicest build quality, that I have ever seen, not only with smokewares, but generally speaking as well. Overall, the unbox quality and feel, 10/10.

Lets get into using it..

In a full size one, it typically takes about 3 rotations for me to finish a bowl. I Haven't had any leakage issues, tar issues, or anything like that, granted I keep my equipment clean regardless, and clean it every 2-3 days.

The smoke it produces is closer to a vapor, and is a lot less harsh when compared to a traditional bong. However... for a piece that costs so much, I would expect it to be BETTER than a traditional bong in MOST if not ALL aspects. However, I found that the taste in the stundenglass is very stale when in comparison to a normal glass bong, which wouldn't be a major issue if this piece didnt take so much disassembly.

So to summarize : I cannot speak on whether its worth it or not, cause I think this varies from individual to individual, But what I can say is that for 499, It acts more as a show piece for friends, rather than a dependable daily driver. It does it job of looking good, and being a conversational piece excellently, as its build quality, the mechanism are awesome, but in terms of usage, I would have to personally say that my other perc'd bong is much better :)
