Help me pick a piece.

Hey all, I'm about to make an order on a water pipe.

I've only really ever smoked out of your old school aussie style bong, now I want to venture into glass on glass.

I like simple, I don't like percs, double chambers etc.

I like beaker style but could be easily convinced otherwise.

I also don't want to have to use a gauze.
I only want to spend around $80

I was about to order this one but thought I would ask for help first.

im guessing the 9mm is at the base only.

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help

9mm probably refers to the entire bong or the glass it was pulled from, it does look pretty f-ing thick.... looks like a nice bong.

That's what I thought too, but in the description it actually says 9mm base, clever sales ploy ha.

I know I said I didn't want a perc, and I wanted to spend about $80, but I just found this piece and feel in love http://www.onlinesmoke.com.au/bongs/100-200/pure-glass-reversal-percolator-bongs-the-hulk.html

how much hassle is it to clean a perc? Can you remove them?
