Skoozle Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Why all the hate on the brass bases? Is there some huge drawback that I am missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some huge drawback that I am missing? [/quote] Can't speak for the others, but: -Can't see water level. Minor, but it's still a pet peeve. Not so much for filling reasons in my case, I just like to see the characteristics of the bubbling to help me understand how a specific pipe smokes in a specific vase. For instance, the mix of the water level and stem length of my syrian tower in one of my BJ vases causes it to bubble much higher, meaning I almost always use the diffuser+lower water levels to avoid water splashing up onto the pipe itself. -Don't know when the vases interior is dry or when it has residual water in it. -Can't REALLY tell how clean the inside is. -There is a possibility of a metallic taste being added to the water, which may or may not have a positive or negative effect on the taste of smoke. -More prone to leaking as these are not shaped from a single piece of metal, they never are. There is a brazed flat piece on the bottom, and probably a braze up the one side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason I am interested in these bases is the huge brass surface area for potentially converting more CO into Co2. Leaking would also be a deal breaker. That's something I was not aware of and will keep an eye out for when I am in the market for one. Thank you for your insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 yeah I have seen a couple of reviews on youtube and during the video their brass vases were leaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
