Talking Kind Creations 30" custom straight perc w ash catcher pics and review

 

First of all let me say that this tube is very important to me for many reasons and i will go into greater detail about the back story on this -
first a review:


there is the tube.
Beautiful, flawless workmanship, flows like a dream. I had originally ordered the tube 30", and as you can see from the pic it is almost 34", I think that is very tight as they seem to be measuring from the bottom of the stem.

The entire ordering process from Kind Creations was excellent, they were very effective in comunicating with me (better over the phone than on the net), prompt, honest in thier time estimates, and most importantly, nice and genuinely interested in providing a me the exact tube I wanted.


here is the plumbing of the piece, I cannot stress how well it rips, with or without the A/c.
The a/c allows you to really get out of hand, but the rip it so smooth it doesn't matter.

The drag on the piece is what you'd expect from a 30+ inch perc, and it varies greatly by water level and with or without the a/c. It is very easy to dial this baby in exactly how you you like it to be as the tube has zero inherent drag (I almost went with some of the more elaborate bases that they do at KC, but I chose the straight for the sake of smooothness and drag)



the A/c is a beast, i love it.
at first I thought the joint was high on the tube, but then once I unwrapped the a/c I realized it was out of need.

the tube is well balanced without the a/c. it stands fine with the A/C, but i feel uncomfortable. This is no fault of th etube, i just don't leave a/c's on tubes standing.

they hooked it up with these accessories


and here is a close up of the base logo and the very nice work on the joint


overall this is a total 5 out of 5
* * * * *

the only negatives I could possibly come up with is that the acc set came for 14mm (the bowl and the diffy) while the a/c is 18mm.
this is ovbiously almost irrelevant as I have a slew of stems and had a perfect fit old roor.de knock off.

bottom line this tube rules!!!

personal stuff
-this is my first custom tube ever. it has set the bar very high
-thanks to everyone who helped me out, especially Ninja, Jmack, and magman- you guys really held it down for KC and had a lot to do with my choice
-Vivat Rex-
this tube is sandblasted in elegy of my long time pet (21yrs) and best friend. My cat rex


He died after a very long and wonderful life, I asked Brandon to change the SB to say this "vivat rex" because his name was rex, and in latin it means "Long live the King..."
I thought it was appropriate

wow, first straight tube i've ever seen from KC.

i'm liking it.


i was never a big fan of their double bubble base.

how much did it run you?


when did they change the style of the ac? i thought it was just like the illadelph ac, new design looks really good though.


sorry to hear about your cat. i've never liked cats until my gf got a new all black cat. i can't get over this thing, i've never even liked any of my pets as much as this thing.

Very, very nice 3combs! Very nice to see a straight tube by KC...looks excellent! I'm sure it will treat you right for a long time to come. I know my KC's are built like tanks.

I personally like the double bubble on my mega KC...makes it very stable, and gives that extra chamber space for a bigger rip. That being said...I definately want a KC straight. Straights are awesome.

Glad to have helped too...always nice to help a fellow TC brotha out
