I'm really disappointed I spent this much money on something that broke so soon. It hit great before it suicided itself. After less than a year my unit has developed a bunch of cracks where the banger connects to the base. The unit has never been dropped and it never travels further than 40 feet from my office. Best I can figure is the heat from the torch mixed with the cold from the water heat cycled the glass to death. Either way I've never had glass break like this in over two decades of smoking.
