Drag/Flow:

Finally, Sovereignty is here for the Professors Review. I've been waiting quite some time to pick this piece up and do a review for the industry. This is a beautiful tube and Sovereignty is definitely one of the top blown glass companies in the industry thanks to its superb craftsmanship and functionality.

The Sovereignty King Stemline consists of a Stemline Gridded Perc that hosts 9 rows. The gridding technique used definitely allows great filtration and very little drag. There is very little drag and zero choke. I was extremely happy after hitting this piece due to the fact that the zero drag allowed for a giant smooth hit. The hit is extremely smooth and allows one to take massive hits without realizing how much smoke was inhaled. The flow of the piece is great and enters the lungs very nicely and at a smooth gradual pace, unless one wants to get hit in the chest at the end, then one can pull as hard as they want before exhaling.

Diffusion/Filtration:

The King Stemline is superb when it comes to Diffusion/Filtration. The Gridded Stemline perc allows for a massive hit that tastes well and leaves the user medicated due to the fact that one doesn't realize how much smoke he or she is inhaling. All of the holes fire in each role in this piece which is why each hit is smooth. Sovereignty gridded the stemline with the gridding facing upwards. Personally, I like my pieces with the gridding facing upwards but I have seen some tubes designed with their gridded rows facing downwards. The gridding on the stemline is done nicely and the hit taken from this piece is deceiving because the smoke enters the lungs at a cool diffused rate. Each hit made me fall in love with the piece more and more because I was able to take massive hits while enjoying the taste of my flowers.

Craftsmanship:

The tube itself is amazing and looks beautiful when clean. The King Stemline uses a 9 row gridding technique that is nicely flamed polish for a superb finish. The piece sparkles and leaves the user in awe when looking at it. The piece was blown with great skill and uses top of the line raw materials. The glass is thick, especially at 5mm, and the piece is heavy and sturdy. These are all signs of great, hand-blown, American craftsmanship. The piece is nicely fused and the functionality of the piece definitely matches the look. As for the perc, the bubbles stack quite high and allows for a great hit due to the gridded peculator. The bubbles stack when the water is at room temperature, so try not to put cold water in or the bubbles may not stack as high. The piece also is labeled with a Green & black label and looks great in the light. The piece functions great due to the elite skills put into blowing this piece.


Cost:

This piece is amazing and priced at a great price. I picked this tube up for $350 a few days ago and I am in love with this piece. For $350, you get a piece that is nicely crafted, has superb function ability, and allows for a gigantic smooth hit. The piece is definitely a daily driver for all the smoking connoisseurs out there. I would definitely love to do another review on this company especially since their craftsmanship is top notch.


The Company:

Sovereignty Glass is a small, artist-based company in Southern California blown by a man named Steve. Most stores that carry Sovereignty pieces don't hold on to them for long because they sell out rather quickly. The company is known for precise assembly, clean welds, and superior functionality. Steve is definitely on top of his game and sets the standard when it comes to top blown glass. Their gridded downstems and pieces stack quite nicely and allow for elite hits.


Overall:

The Sovereignty King Stemline is an elite tube that definitely outshines a lot of its competition. The glass is blown nicely and allows for one of the best hits on the market. Massive hits can be taken at ease thanks to the great filtration and diffusion of the gridded stemline. This is definitely one of the best stemline pieces on the market and does live up to its "KING" stemline name. I will definitely be doing more reviews on their pieces since they are beautiful and functional pieces.

Have you tried adding a little more water? I like a little more water in mine when smoking flowers. I also have a "queen" StemLine 6 slit downgrid with a natty splashguard for errl, it has more of a chug but it stacks bubbles up to the splash catch. Sovereignty is amazing, every stoner should have one.

@nugslinger420 - I tried using more water and the bubbles stack more when the water is not as hot. I was using cold water at the time and after letting the water's temperature reach room temperature, the bubbles stacked even higher. I definitely agree that each user should own or at least try a Sovereignty Piece in his or her lifetime.

Ahhh the stemline...
Remember my first one years ago

How much fun it was to watch the bubbles stack
Esp. Once the water got a lil dirty...
44mm ftw!

Very thorough review for those just introduced to the "sovereignty" brandname
Steve fucking rules!

@happiestcustodianali- thanks for the view and post, it's much appreciated. I definitely agree with you on how one likes to watch the bubbles stack after a few runs.

i live in new jersey where locating a soverignty in a shop is next to impossible. what is yall's reccomendation when it comes to ordering tubes off the internet. I've used aqualabtechnologies for smaller purchases but never a tube. Is it safe to order a king off aqua? Meaning will it come in safely? And if something happens do they cover damaged items?

Try J.friendly's. They always have a ton of Sovereignty's in stock and their prices are comprable to ALT's (I got my 60mm V6 downgrid for $350 and my Pillar for $1130.)
