Dave Goldstein's Rooster Apparatus : Fritted Disc Review

David Goldstein's : Fritted Disc Review Specs: Height: 16 ½" Width: 5.5" at the base Depth: 5.5" Wall: 45.5x5mm Joint Size: 18mm direct injection Diffusers / Percolators: Rooster Apparatus Fritted Disc Percolator (Purple) Features / Includes: -martini slide 18mm -female adapter/ screen holder Label: Rooster Made & Designed by: Dave Goldstein Drag/Flow: The Rooster Apparatus consists of a different percolator that has the glass community buzzing thanks to the fritted disc that sits inside of this tube. There is no drag when using a DD slide or while dabbing. The fritted disc is quite unique and has been incorporated into this piece to provide maximum bubbles. The bubbles stack to the very top of the tube and once or twice did I have the bubbles and water hit my lips. One can easily control the height of the bubbles with the strength of his or her pull. It's quite fun to consistently hit the Rooster Apparatus and control where one likes to have his or her bubbles reach. The design of the tube allows for the bubbles to rise like an overflowing melting pot and gives users and viewers a remarkable sight. The amount of bubbles definitely adds a new meaning to the terminology "bubble porn". Because of the fritted disc, one can inhale and take massive rips without coughing due to the maximum diffusion. I was very impressed and was amazed by how smooth the hit was while leaving others with a jaw dropping view when the piece is in action while providing zero drag. Diffusion/Filtration: As I stated above, the Rooster Apparatus provides maximum diffusion thanks to the fritted disc. The Fritted disc is originally used a chemist's friend when trying to scrub gas from a sample. The disc permits tiny bubbles to pass through its barrier while preventing any large solids from passing. Dave used this perc and installed it into his Rooster Apparatus and boy, are we glad he did. The amount of filtration and diffusion this perc allows for is remarkable and astounding. Users can inhale and cast large amounts of smoke without coughing or choking. If you are looking to impress friends with the size of ones hit without coughing than this perc will definitely help you achieve that. The perc allows the bubbles to stack skywards and can hit one's lips depending on how much water is preferred in the smoker's tube. The fritted disc comes in different colors and designs which makes each one unique. Craftsmanship: The Rooster Apparatus is beautifully crafted and has an amazing glare to it. Dave Goldstein did a great job by adding a hexagon base to the tube which allows it to have a sturdy base that won't allow the piece to tip over easily. Not only does the base add to the piece, but the colored fritted disc gives the piece some flare as well. This tube has a direct inject for concentrate users, but also includes a female adapter for one to hit flowers out of the martini slide. This piece is great for anything one is trying to do, whether it's a flower hit or a concentrate hit. If one wants to taste his or her flowers, this piece definitely does capture the taste of the medicine. Along with that, one definitely experiences one of the smoothest hits on the market thanks to this scientifically designed tube. There is also a bridge on the joint that gives extra support to the joint which gives it more strength to withstand one's clumsiness. The Rooster logo is located on the top of the tube and if there is enough water, the user can pull the bubbles past the rooster logo to give off an impressive hit. Cost: This piece is magnificent and is even better thanks to its tag. The price of the Rooster Apparatus is listed at $500. I believe this piece is well worth the sticker tag. This piece not only looks beautiful, but even hits better than it looks. I would definitely recommend any glass investors to invest in this piece as it is a must have for any glass collector or avid connoisseur smoker. The piece can definitely be used as a daily driver and it leaves people in awe once the piece is in action. The Company: Dave Goldstein has been blowing glass for quite some time. He is an innovative glass blower that has brought upon new changes and standards to the glass industry. Dave's knowledge and experience with laboratory glass helped mold and fuel his fritted disc perc design that allows for an amazing smoking experience. The first prototype of the Rooster Apparatus was finished in 2011 and since then, smokers around the nation are loving this piece. Overall: At first, the Rooster Apparatus doesn't look like the craziest of pieces, but after driving the beauty, one can arguably say it's definitely one of the top pieces in the glass community. The Fritted Disc leaves people in awe once in use thanks to the massive amounts of bubbles that the fritted disc emits. This piece is unique and one of a kind, and I must say, it is definitely a piece to own for all glass heads. --PROFESSOR KUSHINGTON
