Maybe you can use Stundenglass to fight gravity.
Gravity Bongs is full of originality. Making your own gravity rod is theoretically easy, but it involves the level of MacGyver-ing, which can be passed through simple objects like bottles (milk jugs, Hawaiian punch bottles) or larger water containers (buckets, plastic buckets) Create and innovate.
Stündenglass—the “hourglass” in German, owned by the evaporator company Grenco Sciences—its gravity hookah made of borosilicate glass and aerospace-grade anodized aluminum, takes this ingenuity and creativity to another level .
According to Stündenglass’s marketing director Timothy Cotter-Patenaude, the company’s founder’s story began in 2012 when Tracey Huston, an Apple employee at the time, wanted to retire his own home gravity gun device...a kettle and a bucket . As the patriarch of a big family who doesn't have time to play, he enjoys the ability to make a big hit, but wants to improve the grav bong experience and design.
A family friend who knew Seth Rogen gave the Stoner celebrity a prototype of Stündenglass. Logan started posting videos of him using it on social media and went viral there. Houston started selling Stündenglass from his garage.
In 2020, when Grenco Sciences invested in Stündenglass and hired Huston, the original passion project became a new business investment. Now, you will most likely find Stündenglass in weed cafes and hookah lounges. But should you spend $600 to own one at home?
Easy to use: Compared with traditional gravity guns, Stündenglass is easier to use and less risky. There is no worry of weeds being destroyed by weeds, the mechanical structure of Stündenglass allows smooth and delicious play every time. It is also more elegant than using text barrels and kettles.
In an era where marijuana consumption involves apps and touch, using something more like science is a kind of fresh air. Seeing gravity work its magic and fill the Stündenglass with smoke, it feels like me, a cool adult scientist, in charge of a cool adult science experiment. The base is very sturdy, which means you won't tip over anything when you flip the glass. The smoke is smooth and easy to inhale, and its height surrounds the body. Stündenglass is filled with enough smoke to share a comfortable height between two people, but if a single, very large blow is more in line with your style, Stündenglass can do this without damaging your lungs. In general, the high notes you get from Stündenglass are cleaner than ordinary smokers.
Zero-touch smoking: The non-contact delivery on Stündenglass is very effective. In the era of COVID-19, our perception of bacteria has increased, and we absolutely don’t want to use something that someone’s mouth has touched. The product is less dirty than passing around a hookah or pipe. Moreover, it has the support of the trusted stone man. Like Rogen, rapper Wiz Khalifa is also a fan and often posts videos using Stündenglass in his Instagram stories.
Not just to get higher: the versatility of Stündenglass is also impressive. In addition to using it with flowers, hookahs and wood chips, you can also install a tapping device-electronic nails or ordinary rods on the device. Therefore, despite the high price, you can combine at least four devices into one. According to Cotter-Patenaude, there are plans to make more accessories for Stündenglass, including tea and coffee brewing accessories. Together with the product's 10-year warranty, this means you can use Stündenglass to make a complete breakfast.

That 600 dollars, though...: Objectively speaking, the price is quite steep. And, although it is popular among celebrities, it may not be very popular among Stoner civilians, no puns. Reddit user DeadpotSociety wrote: "I can't imagine it is 50 times better than what I can get it home for $10."
Difficult to assemble: According to my cunning partner who likes to build IKEA furniture, Stündenglass says it's like "IKEA diet instructions." The video on the company’s YouTube channel is definitely a must-see video to learn how to use Stündenglass. Although Cotter-Patenaude says it is easy to set up, there are many parts that are the same at first glance (for example, hookah and upper rod). Products can definitely benefit from using alphabetic stickers to mark parts.
Multi-purpose...If you have tools: If you don't have the right tools, it is very difficult to use Stündenglass to smoke alcohol and food. You need a blowtorch, wood chips, and a fume hood to do this-all of these are sold separately at the time of writing. Although Stündenglass often sells the device as a smoker, the official Stündenglass smoking hood is not yet available on the website. Since I am a very middle-class journalist and lazy minimalist, with average taste and don’t want to buy extras, I tried to upgrade my old crow whiskey ginger and Grilled cheese into a five-star meal. It didn't really work, mainly because I didn't have a blowtorch. If you really like dabbing, you may already have it, but not everyone likes it, including me, because "long hair", "fire" and "apartment" are not really mixed together.
You can make your own grav bong at any time, buy separate hookahs and smokers, and then make all three devices into separate devices. There are also counterfeit Stündenglass products on the Internet. In addition, there is Infinity Waterfall, which also labels itself as a multi-functional gravity tube, and Freeze Pipe's Gravity Bong.
If you want to invest in a feature-rich work that makes a statement and functions as a part of your home, of course. Contactless delivery really distinguishes Stündenglass from other devices on the market, and the device has a lot of versatility. However, if you don't really like hookah, don't want to smoke, or you don't like gravity-related equipment, then if your regular tobacco and alcohol make you happy, then it may be worth a try.
