Since my country has looked upon your American medical marijuana system and could find no flaw's, it has decided to ban all smoking paraphernalia from my state effective December this year, so I decided to order something nice while I can.

Is barring food/drug an act of forcing starvation? Seriously...?

That was QLD, I live in Vic. Bongs should be the least of their worries, every kid in Australia >14y/o knows how to make a home-made one out of Gatorade
And yea I'm so pumped to get this, it will be my first true glass on glass, and the pearling looks dope. so pumped to rip that badboy

See, stuff like this confuses me why people i know say they want to move to austrailia so they can have more freedom. Not to bash that area or anything, but it's defiantly not the last bastion of freedom like people make it out to be.
I kind of want to take a glass sculpting/blowing class.

if you want drug freedom i think the place to go is Portugal, no? they offered glass blowing classes at my old college. I looked into it but you had to have an organic chem prereq. I was disgusted. But ya, i'd be tight.
post some pics of it when it arrives.

They have a class here at k-state, but you have to either be a senior or a graduate to take it. You need Organic chem, and Physical Chem classes (both 500 level classes, and glass blowing is Chem 600?!)
Either way it would be totally worth it. I dunno how much it would cost to try to do it yourself, probably a lot, but I would like to do it and try to sell stuff/trade for cheap compared to the prices people charge at shops (or just make a shit ton of money ).

i think they have an apprenticeship system like tattoo artists, so you may be able to look into that. just to get exposed to it and learning. but chem 600?! seems like they just want to weed out the stoners.

Weird though.

I think most people here know how a perc works, I'm just not a huge fan of them. Everyone I know never shuts up about how amazing they are and how it makes the hit a thousand times smoother, which can be true, but I hate adding all that drag and sacrificing the pull, plus cleaning them is near impossible.
I think as long as your bong is clean is should be smooth enough for you, if its not then your smoking shitty chemed up weed. That downstem is more diffusion than I have ever had on a bong and I've never complained that my bong wasn't smooth enough.

my feelings exactly
my first nice glass on glass bong had a single tree perc and to this day I have NEVER been able to get it clean, If you want more diffusion get an ash catcher

Holy fuckballs, it took 1 month and 20 days but its here, its all its 7mm glory. My mate dropped it off, but not after playing a joke on me and saying that he dropped it in the street and broke it into a million pieces Payback for breaking the Smellchecker (which is now mine aswell anyway) I guess.
I fucking love it, I can't believe how smooth it is with such basic diffusion, I definitely will never get a perc after hitting this thing, and the blue ice notches are super awesome, they were the thing that made me click on the bongs link in the first place, the only thing I could add would be an ashcatcher and I'm good to go.
It feels heavy. Really solid, the join is reinforced with extra glass and the base feels even a bit thicker than 7mm. The mouth piece is a bit thinner than I expected but it is designed well and I think it all ties together. I love beakers, and I have always wanted to buy one so I could sit back and lean it back with me, and now I'm living the dream, this is a perfect lazy boy bong. its 45cm so 17.5" which enough to rest it on my thigh and hit it without needing to touch it, I got one with a carb because I wanted the option, though I've been leaving the rubber stopper in since I got it.
All in all I love the piece and I think I have just began a new addiction, buying glass
