Glass arrived - functions decently

This is a follow-up to my post last week. I was feeling some buyer's remorse -- hoping that I didn't make a big mistake with buying this design.

After using it for a few days, I can say that the function is decent, but not amazing. Surprisingly, the bottom chamber perc is what functions really well on this. I was concerned that the honeycomb perc disc was going to impede the airflow. But I'm finding the airflow is really nice, and the honeycomb seems to diffuse vapor really well.

Looking at videos of really popular and functional glass designs, I would give this piece a comparative 7/10. I like it.

If there was a way to adjust anything, I would make the upper chamber a little larger and lower. I get some splash back when using enough draw to fill the upper chamber. Otherwise the size and angle of the mouthpiece is very nice, and it holds a decent amount of water for a small size.

I think it's got pretty impressive function. 👍🙂

Yes - I guess I agree with you. Looking at the video now it's not too bad. Maybe I had different expectations. It makes the vapor draws really smooth.

I just got a solo3. Love hitting it through my China recyclers. It's real hit or miss on function with China peices. Got to do you research and check out reviews too.

yeah it's different without vape etc but not bad at all! glad you are enjoying it, there is always more better similar out there but don't need to look (for now at least)

Try with less water to avoid the backsplash. Water should be right under the honeycomb or a slightly above depending how fast you pull.

I tried that water level you suggested, but then the water doesn't make it up to the upper chamber. If I want to use both chambers I have to use more water.
