There is nothing magical about a 300 dollar bong. I've got a 4 foot tall, 90 dollar all-glass bong that hits just as hard as any at 4 times the price. Just make sure its all glass, the other stuff is just gimmicks and doesn't get you any higher.
So your saying perculation is a gimmick? I agree with you when you say that Brand names such as RooR and others are a bit of a hype, but these companies also produce high quality glass products. By saying your 4 foot tall all glass normal bong hits the same as any bong thats completely false. Example look at my bong, it has inline diffusion coil which creates thousands of little bubbles purifying the hit that you take, thus creating a smoother cleaner hit, I think you would understand if ya came over to my place and took a hit off the Beetle-Juice. I can take hugeeeeee hits from most perculated bongs that I couldnt even imagine taking from a normal straight up bong. you ask why? because it most certainly is different, if you dont believe so take a look around on the internet, with the technology we have today more and more things are being created for glass, the perculator itself was groundbreaking and has elevated glass blowing to a whole new level!
Don't joke around, if I end up in Vermont I might hold you to that.

My point is that the end result is the same - you get high. My $90 bong does the same thing as yours. Mine doesn't look as cool, and I wouldn't call mine art by any means, but it does the trick. You don't get any more high, one way or the other.

I don't build a bong collection either, I buy a new one when (not if!) I break it. The last one was good for about 2 years, and I've had this one about a year. $100 is my absolute limit, and most likely I will spend closer to half that on a plain, straight, all-glass bong when this one breaks.

I guess I'm a bit of a hypocrite though, because I didnt think twice about spending $300 on my vaporizer.
