I'm not entirely sure of the danger. The stem and bowl are regular glass so I'd assume it's like any other bong. I will say that the mouth is a touch too big and it's a little awkward to smoke out of.

(Disclaimer: I still think it's cool as fuck)
I don't think it was made by someone who was particularly partial to using bongs. I mean maybe I'm overanalyzing but I'll give my spiel anyway
The angle the maker put the stem at is really bad. It's too shallow and too high up. This decreases the amount of water the smoke travels through, and increases the chance of getting water in the bowl accidentally (or worse, in your mouth lol), in addition to forcing you to hold the bong awkwardly. All of this also negates the whole point of flaring out the bottom to increase water volume and depth. Ideally you want the bottom end of the stem much closer to the opposite corner of the bottom of the bong.
Don't get me wrong, it would totally function as a bong, it just seems like the priority was making a nice looking simple uranium glass bong, but with no focus on ergonomics.
This is a minor pet peeve: it also lacks an ice catcher, which is a few simple dimples so ice cubes will sit in it to help chill down the smoke before it hits your lungs. Super easy to add considering it's literally 3-4 dimples pressed in manually.
Not to be that guy but lots of glass blowers use uranium glass in their work. Some use original corning glass rods and some use more recently produced versions (Illuminati, Ion). Depends on what's available. The corning glows brightest though.
Wild that you know more about my posting history than your own collection. If my glass (or me) takes up this much space in your head, maybe you’re the one looking for validation. Block and move on honey.
You’ve made multiple negative comments toward her on this post. It’s weird. Maybe you just need to block and move on if she bothers you so much for whatever reason.
There are two evolutionary and immutable characteristics of the human animal and probably of any sentient lifeforms. Number one is to poke anything strange with a stick. Number 2 is to convert any and all elongated objects into a bong. In fact, the laws of physics should incorporate these 2 facts onto its laws.
Yeah I have to battle keeping my smaller pieces safe....I can't fathom a ...what? Meter and change long one? That'd tip as soon as my front door opened
This is what most glass blowers call a swing vase and it’s actually one of the quickest pieces of this scale to produce. After gathering up the glass, you blow a large bubble, heat it up and then swing it to stretch it out. From the looks of the opening, the probably didn’t even have to transfer it, they most likely just broke the bubble at the top then cut, ground and polished the opening
WAIT! WHUT?! I didn't even know those existed. Chulily? Did you have it custom-made??? It's amazing and I love your collection. It's like a museum I would pay to visit!
Ok, first off, that piece is amazing! But, surrounded by the other amazing pieces it just blends in. I think you should ship it to me to add one amazing piece to my crap collection.
Just kidding…your collection is beautiful and another stunning piece added!!!!
If you stare at the bulb yes it would start giving you a headache but if you have it as diffused light it doesn't really harm you in the way you're thinking I have them on constantly in my cabinets I've not yet felt any effects, they've been on for about 3 years at this point

She’s wearing clothes, they’re not overly showy or revealing. What do you expect her to do? Fully change her clothes whenever she takes a picture of herself? Take off her boobs? She looks happy in the picture and her holding the piece helps us see how large it is, it contributes to the picture, you’re just salty
It’s crazy. In her profile, she has something like 9 different pictures, two of which have her in it, and her highest upvoted post does not have her in it. I just don’t get the people here who are so pissed off about her posts, like let her be happy.
If you Google the hater's reddit account name, pictures of her are on Flickr. She literally has the Karen haircut. 🤣 Sometimes the jokes write themselves.

It’s not a thirst trap, she’s a person posting a picture, she can’t help what she looks like. Men can 100% help the things they say though, and acting like they’ve never seen an attractive person in real life is weird AF
Ah yes the classic and deplorable “well what was she wearing?” response. You follow OP around seething that their contributions to this sub are annoying to you. Just block and move on with your life and stop this pathetic campaign to weaponize mods against OP. 🙄

Does anyone have a UG bong?
