How well do you keep your glass? 1

So I wanna know how careful/cautious you guys and gals are with your pieces. So I wanna know:
1. How long have you been smoking with glass pieces of any type or size?
2. How many glass pieces were damaged beyond the point of usability (i.e. you can't use them) because of your neglect or carelessness or clumsiness?
For me I have been smoking for about a year or so, and in that time I've broken my favorite bong ever, a bubbler, a very skinny bong (12"), and a really long thin-glass, churchwarden style pipe with a 1/2 diameter neck that was literally 1.5 ft long!!! craziest shit I had ever seen. @_@

Man, when I was like 19, I broke a $500 piece before I even got a chance to smoke out of it! I had just gotten off the boat I worked on, and I saw this AWESOME sherlock style bubbler with btwo dragons on it in the Pike Place Pipe Palace. The chick told me I had to put $300 cash on the table before I could even look at it so I pulled my wad out and just slapped it down (getting off the boat I had like 5k in hand). I looked at it for like 5 seconds before I told her to wrap it up for me.
I got home, and had a friend get me a half gallon of JD to start the night. Halfway through the night, I decided I wanted to christen my new piece. Worst idea ever!!! I knocked it over and popped both the dragon heads off of it as I was reaching for the bottle again...
Man, I haven't spent that much on anythign but rent since than!!! lmao!
Now, the most expensive piece I have is a $60 double perk glass on glass bubbler that I spent $40 on a case for it so it doesn't get broken! lmao!

I've been smoking through glass for about 2years and I've never broken a bong. Broken 3-4 glass sliders though, other than that my worst offense has been spilling the bong water.
The bong I currently have gets cleaned out every 2-3days but gets cleaned back to new every week

I've broken I think two hand pipes and one bubbler. Currently I got a nice double perc glass on glass bong I've been smoking out of. Water gets changed daily, the bong itself needs a clean pretty soon though. Actually it's been needing one for awhile.

you know what i did in english class? I came to class stoned out of my mind every day, i chugged vodka in the back of class, i put dead fish in the ceiling tiles. i put a gallon of old milk and orange juice in the file cabinet before winter vacation. i brought snakes in a tied up sweater and let them loose during class. i didnt go to school to learn, i went because i had to. i didnt care, and i didn't fucking listen to that stupid bitch. and i still don't fucking care. i tore the pages out of her books and burned them, and threw away all the books in the class, two books per day.

I pretty much clean all of my pieces on a regular basis. I never let them get to resinated. They taste like shit when they do... My bongs and bong stems are always nice and clean. In the 9yrs that I've been smokin I've only broken one small pipe and a bong stem. I am very careful with my pieces and take care of them.

I've had 1 glass pipe, 1 bong, 1 metal pipe, and 1 one-hitter and dugout. The glass pipe got "lost"/stolen. My bong got knocked over by a cat and snapped the stem, I need to buy a new one. My bong is immaculate right now, my metal pipe is occaisionally scraped for resin, and my one hitter is actually never used.
Also, my bong has the grateful dead head on it.

Been smoking for 7 years now (woah, never thought about it before.)
Lets seeeee...my bong got smashed by my mom when I was 15 cause we had too heavy of a session and forgot to put it away . Other than that, I've broken 2 downstems for a bong (one was shaped like a turtle, FUCK!).
But never broken any other shit. *knock on wood* I have a dragon shaped pipe whose beard is a little broken, but I don't think it was me and I can still smoke him with no problems.
-------------------- Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

Man, I do not know how many years I been smoking and all the pieces I been through! Teenage years, use a couple metal pipes and dugouts. Made a bunch of 2 liter style bongs. Which I guess my parents confiscated back in that time frame.
But recently I have probably been through a glass pipe a year. Glass and tile don't get along to well at all! Every time I broke one it has been on tile. So my wife got me a Zong heavy duty pipe. I have pics somewhere here on the growery when I got it. This thing was bought because the salesman threw it across the room, bounced a couple times across the floor and counter and never so much as chipped. So she got it for me! So far so good. Dropped it on concrete and no breakage yet.

Im actually in the process of looking for a nice bubbler right now all I have is a metal pipe which I used for cheap bud and my eds tnt wood pipe which I use for good shit. Wood to me changes the taste, tastes a lot better out of a wood pipe IMO.

Wood pipes are funky, I've had a couple. I prefer glass over all.

Woah neat. I think my bro bought his girlfriend a little pink Zong for Valentines Day one year. I don't think I ever used it now that I think of it.
I really need to clean my pipes. Back when I smoked shitty weed I didn't give a fuck about them being clean or not, but now the flavor is something to savor its not nice to have all dirty bowls.

Man, I just broke a bong... It was nothing TOO special like a $60 heavy glass two-footer, kinda retro looking, looked good on the coffee table. I tried to clean it one day with the boiling water from my water-cooler thing and it got a wicked crack in it... no biggy until the other day my girl went to pick it up and the base stayed on the table with the neck in her hand.
As far as cleaning, I actually keep a jar full of alcohol around and let my bowls and shit sit in there for a few minutes every couple days and hit em with a pipe cleaner... super easy cleaning. One of these days I promise to strain and evap the chunks in that jar lol
