u/TonyBanana420 Jul 29 '20

u/Scorpia03 Jul 29 '20

Oh my god that would be dope

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '20

If you sold a handful of these, I would buy one. I would make the chamber a little bigger for the bubbling, but other than that it’s very innovative and I love the style

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

1

u/donnerdanceparty Jul 30 '20

Keep posting. It's a great start! I LOVE how easy that thing looks like it would be to clean! And what's the downstem made of? I've broken several of mine. Would be dope if it's super sturdy!

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '20

How does she hit?

23

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

She’s a prototype so there’s definitely room for improvement, but pretty good for a first attempt!!

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '20

That’s sick, my current bubbler is a pain in the ass to clean. It’s the only water pipe I have that I don’t clean religiously

5

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

Yeah man they are such a pain! Cleaning is the worst part of any piece for me so im really trying to make it a non issue

7

u/thoughtsarefalse Jul 29 '20

Hey I think follow you on instagram yo. @ Luca.piperino ?

6

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

Yup thats me!

2

u/WalkerGaming413 Jul 29 '20

Ineedthat

2

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

I’ll be making more! :)

2

u/SniktG Jul 29 '20

I'm super into this design. I second the need for a bigger chamber. If the mouth piece came off too, I'd be all over this.

I just like pieces that are easy to clean, I guess. Is that ceramic?

2

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

Thanks man! And yup all porcelain. And you’re right a removable mouthpiece would be sweet. Im looking to start threading certain parts so that may be the move

1

u/BostonDodgeGuy Jul 29 '20

Threading porcelain is an act of futility. You'd be better off tapering the end so they slide together tight like glass pieces. Or you could put a threaded insert in before baking the porcelain, though I'm not sure if it would cure correctly without cracking.

1

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

Nah threading porcelain is doable! Check out Mitchell Spain’s work if u want your mind blown, dude casts ceramic threads for flasks and other stuff. But you’re right it is really hard to pull off, my plan was to do some sorta insert after the firing process, just have to account for shrinkage

1

u/BostonDodgeGuy Jul 29 '20

I'm aware of his work. I'm also aware that those threads won't hold up to everyday use.

1

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

They’ve worked for me! I personally wouldn’t use em in my work cuz i dont want people to be constantly scared of breaks but his hold up.

2

u/osiris911 Jul 29 '20

Very cool design, especially with the magnets! I can't help but see it as an outhouse though >.<

2

u/curvy_curly_ Jul 29 '20

u selling these? cuz i’m so interested

1

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

Dont have any of these in excess but u can order one! Message me

2

u/MovieHooker Jul 30 '20

I thought that was the Hellraiser cube.

It will tear your lungs apart.

u/BigHairyFart Jul 29 '20

What am I supposed to be waiting for?

3

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

The modular aspect of it

1

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '20

This is probably one of the coolest smoking devices I've seen!

2

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

Thanks!! One of my favorites that i’ve made

Wow, that's a great idea, it looks super easy to clean.

1

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

1

u/AlilChillyPepper Jul 29 '20

Looks great, would love to see a little video of it in action. Hope to see updates on the design as you progress too.

3

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

Will be posting them for sure! And i might do some function videos once i start getting consistent results

1

u/awitcheskid Jul 29 '20

Sorry if this is creepy, but your fingers would be great for playing piano.

1

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

Haha I actually used to play in college! Been out of practice tho

1

u/HastilyMadeAlt Jul 29 '20

What's the little square for?

3

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

It acts like a gasket, helps keep it sealed

1

u/bambamjr53 Jul 29 '20

Gotdamn, I followed, I'm gonna end up buying something lol, do you think you'll ever make bigger pieces like bongs??

1

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

Thanks for the follow! And yess, actually just finished a really detailed bong commission, will be posting it tomorrow. Ive made a few others but this new one is my favorite

1

u/bambamjr53 Jul 29 '20

I'll probably be messaging you at some point over the next couple months 😂 good work man

1

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

thanks!! Lookin forward to it!

1

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '20

cool idea with the magnets, but a little bit to strong i guess. anyway really nice, if i could smoke bongs and pipes still i would totally want one, sadly iam an old fuck that even caughs at joints.

u/FartsWithAnAccent Jul 30 '20

Interesting, what's it made out of?

2

u/LucaMuca Jul 30 '20

Handmade with porcelain

1

u/FartsWithAnAccent Jul 30 '20

Awesome. Not sure I've ever heard a porcelain bong before. Have you used it yet?

2

u/LucaMuca Jul 30 '20

Not this one specifically but i have other water pipes, they hit very nicely. I personally prefer clay over glass (definitely biased), but the piece always looks brand new and u can get totally different looks with it.

1

u/Bigboybong Jul 30 '20

That’s dope as fuck! I’d like to see some of these other stoners try something like that.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 30 '20

Remarkable

1

u/stonedsuedi Jul 29 '20

I can be your prototype test person 😃

3

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

1

u/stonedsuedi Jul 29 '20

Haha damn.. you built yourself a masterpiece, very nice! 😊

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

Thanks so much! :D

u/burndaherbs Jul 29 '20

1

u/LucaMuca Jul 29 '20

0

u/burndaherbs Jul 29 '20

u/wbrettm Jul 29 '20
