the teratokes bamboo waterpipe although being a great concept and idea, seemed to falter in at least my package. upon opening and assembling i had noticed that the bottom container meant for storage fell off frequently lest i twisted to an angle where the bamboo happened to be wider, the variable of bamboo growth seems to have harmed the build quality. the downstems seal is not perfect and is prone to leaking INTO the storage / base of the bong from the hole where the downstem is placed , i noticed a scratch that was a tad thick but not deep by any means so did not worry about it but with the money i spent i am happy with this waterpipe i just wish it were a little better, although all my issues do seem to just be manufacturing errors and i am almost certain other packages would not have these defects, my only other complaint is that the glue and leather placement inside the storage is sloppy. a replacement would be nice although i am not certain as to how i could prove these issues without sending images
