Nooby Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Soz for the bump. Anyone know if the OSA shop is still going?...or otherwise where I can get a glass bong from? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al B. Fuct Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 click the 'site extras' on the top of any OSA page. Follow the pulldown menu to Headshop. Try an Agung 'Chong.' $40. Deadset classic, simple design, very durable with super thick Pyrex glass on the mouth, difficult to break. One of the easier bongs to clean; cheap $2 shop bottlebrushes fit it. A squirt of methylated spirit and about 3 drops of dish soap, a scrub and a rinse and it's good as new. The newest 320mm tall 'Chongs' have a 100mm dia rubber base; older ones have 90mm. It's significantly harder to tip the tall thing over with the 100mm base. The one pictured appears to have a 100mm base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nooby Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Yeah , thanks, I tried that but I get an error when it gets to the payment section. Might be a pay-pal thing. I've emailed the mods, hopefully they'll clarify the situation for me. N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al B. Fuct Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 ah crap- some wanker complained to PayPal about the shop- apparently sales of cannabis paraphernalia is against the PayPal TOS. I had to send a money order for my 420 crew membership. Msg Oz Stoner and Pure- they'll fix you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420Downunder Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Of course you can't buy a real GonG bong in Australia, all of the so called "headshops" here are pitiful and haven't even heard of a glass on glass piece and if they have they'll try and feed you bullshit like I was told by Freewheelin about the joints wearing out and us aussies being too cheap to buy anything but old shitty agungs. If you want a real selection unfortunately you'll have to shop online using a UK site to order from, you can msg me if you want a link to a reliable trustworthy site I deal with.

Al B. Fuct Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 aussies being too cheap to buy anything but old shitty agungs. Nothing shitty about Agungs. Nice product, well made and from good materials. They last forever and are well priced but not the cheapest. You can get REALLY shitty, low quality bongs from any tobacconist for 1/2 to 1/3 the price. Don't see the problem with Agung products at all!

Aside from thin cheap boro, stuck in the the year dot refusing to go GonG and still using crappy non diffused alluminium stems with brass cones I suppose you're right Edit: They're still better than the old orchy bottle and garden hose though..

The glass on the rim of an Agung Chong is >10mm thick! WTF do you want, bulletproof? And what's wrong with brass cones? ...non-diffused stems? WTF? I bet the GonG (which I can't find on the web) doesn't have dihemulated framistanulous horgowhallopic bargulums! ...and before you ask, I'm not laughing WITH you, I'm laughing AT you.

How thick at it's thinest point? 1mm?Brass cones alter the taste of the smoke, glass ones don't.A diffused stem (which is also available in glass) increases the water filtration providing a much smoother smoke.GonG stands for Glass on Glass , I'm sorry you can't use a search engine.Laugh all you want, I forgive your ignorance.

Al B. Fuct Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Well, if they don't have dihemulated framistanulous horgowhallopic bargulums, GonGs are obviously shit. We're talking about a friggin' bong. It sounds like you've been sold a bill of goods. Hope you and your money parted company amicably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
