Years ago, I had this bong in red and it was my favorite bong ever. Sadly, I lost that bong and when I went to buy another one, they were either out of stock or outrageously expensive on every site, so when I got notified that it was back in stock on EF420, I knew I had to buy it again. I got the purple one, which is even more beautiful than the red. The best thing is, it starts glowing really bright after about 1 min under a standard poster blacklight. The artwork is gourgeous! The glass is thick and very high quality. It hits smoothly and I love the slotted downstem. The only negative is the neck is small, so while it has an ice catcher, it's too small for standard sized cubes. Thankfully I have a mold that produces small cat shaped cubes that fit perfectly. I highly :-) recommend this bong to everyone. It's a true work of art.
