I'm looking for inexpensive but decent-quality, easy-on-the-eyes water devices -- preferably, a sherlock-style waterpipe/bubbler and a medium-sized bong.

As nice as glass is, it might be wise for them to be a less breakable material since we have a small child in the house who likes to get into things and handle them roughly if not outright hurl them across the room ;)

Ultimately, I'm willing to compromise on the exact types of devices as long as they work decently, aren't too hard to clean, and have a significant capacity -- especially in the "bowl." I have the need for the quickest, most powerful means of medicating to help control my severe pain & nausea, digestive issues, muscle spasms etc.

I might even be willing to work/trade off the device(s), and/or write a review of them for Issue #10 of TY Magazine (pending Marco's approval of course, I learned last time to make sure he was in the loop on anything that involves TY!). That might be especially beneficial for a custom glass-blower or other device-maker.

Anyhow, suggestions are very welcome! I'm glad to have such a range of vaporizers at my disposal, especially so that I can write an exhaustive review of all that are out there for people to choose from (I am hoping to acquire even more in time, but for now I'm most interested in having some decent smoking devices again.

Lately I've noticed that my pain management isn't nearly as well served if I don't add some degree of smoking to my regimen; vaping alone works great for nausea, and is of course generally better for my health/stealth, but smoking is by far the more powerful means of controlling pain it seems.

just a suggestion, but you might want to keep any parafanilia out of reach from the littleones....where i am from that is asking for charges to be laid for child endangerment and know one needs that headache.

Oh, I absolutely do. Everything related to cannabis or medicine in our house is carefully kept well out of his reach and we teach him constantly that "dada's yucky medicine" is something he would find disgusting & "owie". He's quite clear about that and on the rare occasion he can see any such items in his field of vision (even though they are well out of reach), he says "yucky" and makes a "blecccch" sound.

Even though it seems that he's quite clear on not wanting to have anything to do with my various medications, we're extremely cautious about where we place things.

Good tip Slater.

We found as they got a lil older no big thing, being out in the open we're able to talk about it as a family. They now have total respect for meds.

If the kids are small enough keep it out of reach where thet can' get to it.

I use a vap myself, it all personal choice:)

I love my vapes, and I can't wait to get my hands on the Volcano w/ Ready Bag that I'll be reviewing for my multi-vaporizer review (probably the first in a series; I'd like to eventually review every major vape product on the market for future issues!) in Issue #10......but I've found that just vaping, especially using the same strain all the time, builds tolerance and doesn't help as much with my pain as when I mix some smoking in.

I would suggest Shivadas glass, top notch glassware that supports local artists. They also do some pretty wicked custom functional art, and some of their recent old man pipes sound like what you are looking for. :D
