The original maker and owner has the company back and producing protopipes again.

The link to the Protopipe knock off is dead.

The links don't work anymore

Test the Shaka pipes out of Hawaii ❤

James Rolfe: It's Cinemassacre's "Monster Madness"! "The Giant Claw" starts out like a typical 50's monster movie. It follows a pilot who sights an unidentified flying object. He tries to warn his superiors but no one believes him. Soon there are planes missing and a giant claw-mark. It builds tension fairly well. The acting is okay for this kind of genre. It's an overall decent movie until about 20 minutes in when you see the monster… (The monster is revealed) James: Unbelievable! Is that not the worst looking monster you've ever seen?! Supposedly Ray Harryhausen was considered to do the effects but the producers decided to cut the costs. A special effects studio in Mexico ended up doing it, but they must have been playing a joke. I can understand that they didn't have a lot of money - they had to make a cheap marionette. But did they have to give it big goofy eyes, flaring nostrils and a mohawk?! You can't make something this laughable by accident! There's a lot of fake miniatures and overuse of stock-footage. But sadly those are the more credible parts. In that first shot you're not even paying attention to how bad the plane looks - you're so overwhelmed by the bird. Even in the 50's this looked bad! The poster didn't even show the bird's head. But what makes it so funny is that the rest of the movie takes itself so seriously. None of the actors knew what the monster would look like - they just had to use their imagination. Supposedly Jeff Morrow went to see the premiere in his local town and as soon as the bird appeared the audience roared with laughter. Rumor has it he left the theater, embarrassed, went home and got drunk. And he did a good job with the role, but his efforts were all ruined because of that silly bird. It's funny that he seems to be the one who interacts with the bird the most. He's the first character to see it when it looks like a hairball being blown across the sky. But all through the movie he has so many encounters with it, it makes you think this guy really has a thing for giant birds. He's also the first character to coin the term 'flying battleship'. That's how he first describes the bird - a saying that really catches on. Mitch MacAfee: … a battleship, not that it was a battleship. Narrator: Something as big as a battleship. Man over radio: … like we're hitting a battleship with a slingshot. Narrator: A bird as big as a battleship. General Van Buskirk: A bird as big as a battleship… Sally: A flying battleship. Sally: Flying battleship. Mitch: Flying battleship. Police Officer: Flying battleship. Sally: Flying battleship. Sally: Flying battleship. James (as he compares the bird to a naval battleship): All through the movie everyone, including the narrator, constantly refer to this thing as a battleship. I can understand if they compared the bird to a jumbo jet or something that actually flies, but why a battleship?! But there's more; the bird is extraterrestrial - that's right. But how it got to Earth is what I wanna know. The thought of that thing flapping its way through space makes me wanna piss myself. It's also supposed to have an antimatter shield. Now it's just getting absurd… And it follows a pattern, check this out. Mitch (as he draws markings on a map): Our plane appears… and finally… the navy patrol plane. Well, see it? Sally: Well, no. Mitch (as he draws a spiraled line connecting the markings): A pattern… James: Okay, that bird really has a strange agenda if instead of taking the most direct path it just spirals out… How would you even see a spiral on that?! Why didn't he just draw a straight line?! So we have a goofy-looking bird that comes down from space, in an antimatter shield, flying in a spiral - it's pure genius. That's why this is one of the worst movies ever made. Of course the Giant Claw made it on my 'Top 10 Giant Movie Monsters'-video, coming in at number 1. If I could own one prop from any movie I wanna have the Giant Claw puppet. Does that thing still exist? I wanna know. I would gladly buy it so I can hang it from the ceiling in my living room. At least I'd like to see it person or just see a picture of it today. I wonder what the scale of it is, I really do. Please, somebody tell me! Where is the Giant Claw?!

I got ripped by a Wish Proto Pipe knock-off. Garbage. Looks the same as that one. The picture showed a real one… but what I got was garbage. The finish was uneven and peeling when new… without a cleaning chamber on the bottom. The stash tube was screw-in… Found one at a local shop that isn’t a REAL Proto, it’s a faux proteaux… but it works very well.

The only film that scared me so much that my legs went numb. Excellent thriller

If you're still vaping, you might be interested in the Dynavap. No combustion, no batteries (although you can use an induction heater to make life easier).

I have a shaka without the stash tube. Absolutely love it, i use it for smoking bubble hash.

Fun but jet names

expensive lights 40-51

Are led lights are

Have you tried popping the sneaker toke in the freezer before hitting it, cool as can be

I've always been a joint guy.

by the time i started smoking in 2004 glass was the standard. Never understood the proto pipe hype i mean yea if you're an old head from before glass took off in the late 80 and 90s i could see the cleaner rod and storage being neat, but metal is the grossest tasting option.

Damn I wanted to help field test them😢

why didnt u just use the holes to screw down the led fixture??? aren't they there for that ??instead of using that hotmelt and mounting then with screws on the outside??

spend a little extra and get a real proto pipe, its worth it😆👍

The real proto pipes are still hand made in Mendocino county USA. I have the proto rocket and love it! It's a high quality piece that will last a lifetime. Well worth the price.

you even did it in pounds youre a sick guy

Just bought the protopipe rocket 👍🏻

Hello Richard, From your videos on TH-cam (Excellent by the way), I get the impression your company sells Grow lights. How do I contact you and find your Company ??

Your videos are excellent. Proper Science. Not the usual 'street science'. Brilliant........

Why didn’t you dip your wicks into the wick ports ??

Rich, how do I get in touch with you? Want to build a LED prototype of something. Your plantphotonics email isn't resolving. Carl

There also used to be a spoon type of pipe that used various threaded pieces. I think it was made of stainless steel. There was even a version of the bowl that had a thread at the top where you could screw a metal cover onto which had a small pinhole so you could suck a flame through it, while still using it to keep a packed (or half spent) bowl in your pocket. Another screw on piece turned the stem into a resonating chamber where you could stuff a gram or two of bud into and then every time you take a hit the smoke passes over the bud and coats it in sticky goo.

I got this many years ago just to dip my toes into vaping herbs .. honestly its a hassle to use , clean and maintain this device and the vapour quality is mediocre. I quickly upgraded to an Arizer Solo 2 .. in my honest opinion skip this device and spend extra to get a good brand

th-cam.com/video/GZoJ00aO0a4/w-d-xo.html They are back in business, with both the original owners and they still make these to this day! Mine is literally going to come in the mail later today and I’m very excited as last time I had one was when I was 16 and I am 38 now . They did stop during the pandemic for obvious reasons. But I will let you know since your video is three years old, they are back in business in this video is one year old. It’s pretty interesting to say the least to watch this, but the cool thing? When I called the company with her telephone number provided on the website, a human being actually answered the phone! 😂 There was no digital anything, also? I am a combat war veteran, and they actually gave me a veterans discount on the classic pipe. I’ve been waiting 2 1/2 to 3 months, and I asked the lady why it took so long for real. She told me that at that time there were 10 employees and only a few to work on the pipes at a time because they are handmade with machinery, obviously, but handmade. She was extremely cordial, and that’s why it takes so long to get a real one right now because this is the video that shows you pretty much a little bit of the history and how they are made. I don’t know if you have seen this yet, but? This is from a year ago, and they are back in business happily. If anyone has an order one of these yet? I would get on it right now, it’s only gonna be a matter of time before they stop, and I believe they started in 1970 or so.

Get the real deal, support those old boys.

Lol it’s absolutely insane how much they charge for brand name Proto pipes

The protopipe is a good pipe to own. I used to own one years ago. Though, there were problems with it such as: the poker would either break easily when trying to use it properly for certain cleaning tasks or the poker would get lost easily. It was also a pain in the butt to clean the tight areas that are in the proto pipe.. I like the proto pipe still though, as the pros outweigh the cons. I bought mine at about $45, now it is about twice the price, YIKES! for one. I might get an official protopipe again in the future, but for now the protopipe clones are cheaper thus they will do until I get an official protopipoe.

Classic. That would be the classic stealie with the full chamber. 🤦

Which gage wire ?

Which gage wire did you use

I have two Kind 1000 LED lights over four years old. Both are full of burned diodes. disappointing as these lights outperformed all the other LED's we tried. Is there a replacement diode I can buy for these units??

Sweet review! I really wish I could find my 30 yo PP. Resin Trap stuck like 10 yrs ago & now can't remember where I stashed it. Stoner Life.

epiled tw crap ,same with epistar and bridgelux

Nice nick nacks 👍

❤

very informative, very underrated channel. Thanks a lot Richard, much much needed information. and hello from Türkiye!

Punchbowl /Aloha pipes make the same but better version of the proto pipe. Less expensive than the proto, better quality and usability. I own both, I much prefer my Aloha bowl pipe (proto pipe enhanced)

Glass pieces are the best in my opion, I really like metal pieces but theres just something about glass pipes that does it for me!! That and my mom passed her old glass bubbler and glass hitter down to me so thats what I've gotten accustomed to XD

So I don't have top of the line but I don't have cheap either, I found a light that is true to its specifications and truly is 1800 par center, Light is a bloomplus 1500 3x3 flower, and have used it for two years now and paid $150 for the light. Its adjustable and ir emitting. If you need a grow light to actually grow real nugs I suggest looking at bloom plus for light that will produce perfectly for not a big bill on all ends. I will upgrade to 2500 bloom plus because my grow area has gotten larger.

It's not an exaggeration your brain just don't work right you don't understand what they're trying to say it's equivalent to 600 W that means it does what a 600 watt light bulb will do only pulling a fraction of the power OMG you won the Einstein award

They're normal leads you just don't calculate them right because you really don't know what you're doing they didn't make special ones to put in that light

It's an equivalent to that many watts it never claim to be that many watts haven't you bought a LED light bulb for your house at the store? They always say what they are equivalent to but never claim to be that many so that means an LED that pulls 15 20 watts can do with a 60 watt light bulb can do do you get it? The LED can do the same with less draw it's really not difficult to understand

That proto pipe is a knock off. All true Proto Pipes have the PP on top and in the resin chamber

Just got interested in hydroponics and have been following HOOCHO and he recommended your channel. I've been researching LEDs as it will be the biggest investment and biggest power draw, power consumption/power to offset heat generated. Thanks, subscribed.

I’m 49 years old grew up in Sacramento Ca and an old man sold me one for a eight of my smoke back in 1988 or 89 .

wtf is this bullshit
