it doesn't seem like anything special. but i guess its okay. i've only really used metal pipes as well.
Most of my friends had pipes similar to this as first pipes. They are real easy to clean because you can take it apart. It looks great for a first piece, but like everyone else said, your going to wanna get glass eventually.
I'm actually not sure how to clean mine from when I was 10 to 12 or 13. All the resin starting building up in that chamber (from me not cleaning it haha) and got into the mouthpiece. I mean it's completely covered front to back, and there's still resin inside the chamber-thing that it builds up in too. Not that I've tried cleaning it. But I've got several other better bowls now. Heck I consider my 5 mini-glass bowls better and they're really small. The hole on em is so small you can barely pack it or else no smoke will get through and you'll be burning it for no reason.
u can clean most pipes easy with pipe cleaners soaked in rubbing alcohol ( or in my case {didnt have any} i used lynx aftershave ) bomchica wha wha XD i think theyre new thing is really sad, but it made me laugh so much oh oh anyone seen that old spice add where its like a challenge, 3 guys need to get past a door. the first guy shoulder barges it- nothing. second guy kicks it, his leg goes through but nothing. last guy, the real gentleman knocks on the door and this fine woman opens it. haha i loved that add, u have to see it to get it fully but jeez it owns gillete anyday. gillete, the best a fat hairy woman before a hen night can get peace
Dunno...glass just seems standard to me...if size is an issue, you can find nice small spoons that'll easily fit in your pocket. Metal pipes make me think of crackheads haha
The best pipe I've ever had was made out of marble. Metal pipes suck and that pipe is lame. I've seen glass pipes cheaper than that crappy metal one, too.
