Mini Tubes
The downstem is removable, the opening is ground so they slide together nicely.
If you have never had a mini tube, they have more opportunity for splash back, so be careful with your water level and draw gentle hits. A mini tube is easier to store, transport, clean, and ship, while giving you the benefit of water filtration. Clean your water pieces often. Dumping the water when you are done and using fresh water each time is best for your health and your piece.
How do you use it without burning your hair?! Turn it a little to the side. Instead of lighting it right under your face, turn it a little bit away. I have long wild bangs at the moment and I am comfortable using them.
Each is water tested and rinsed out at least once so don’t be too surprised if yours has a couple drops of water still inside when you get it.
