Pros:
- Glass is thick.
- Welds are clean.
- enough weight/base for enail usage.
- Easy to clean.
- Very good taste w/ concentrate use.
Cons:
- Costs about 3x what it should (can be had on ebay for $130-$150. That's what this piece is worth).
- TERRIBLE for dry herb use.
- Not nearly as "elegant" as GRAV would lead you to believe.
Overall:
This is a decent, middle of the road piece for concentrate use. If you use an enail, avoid height AT ALL COSTS! Seriously, use the "shortest" nail you can get your hands on. The second ANY enail with a barrel coil comes into the equation, prepare to need a drop down, reclaim catcher or SOMETHING.....unless you want to poke yourself in the forehead with your or get your face within about 1 inch of 600+ degree heat.
GRAV markets this Arcline stuff as being it's most elegant, top of the line product....but there really is nothing special about this line. If you can find this Arcline stuff for about 50% of what it costs here at 420science...you'll be picking up a DECENT piece at what it SHOULD cost....
Added a pic of the Arcline beaker with MiniNail's hybrid deep dish nail & Purr x MiniNail glass carb cap. As you can see, height is an issue. This piece works much much much better if you're using a flat coil or a drop down of some kind. I am yet to find accessories (drop down & such) that are worth purchasing....so I do not yet own one that's usable. I WON'T own one that's usable until I order one that's handmade by a glass artist here in the US either, as glass water pipe accessories that are widely available are junk. Plain & simple.
I've tried to be as brutally honest as possible here.
