Features
Dimension are so important for the safety of your eyebrows! Even the dimensions of the small jar version place the bowl away from your face keeping your eyebrows safe and you can see what you're doing without wearing glasses!
Pack your Mason Monkey inside the mason jar for compact, air-tight, odor-free storage. Some of the best hiding places are in plain sight.
Removable bowl made of borosilicate glass. Heat it without worry of any metal or plastic emission. Glides in and out of the downstem for carb'ing. Easy to empty and easy to clean (see Cleaning page).
Vented downstem for better diffusion. Made of borosilicate glass so you can see when it is dirty (see Cleaning page)
The common mason jar is inexpensive, durable and easy to find. Plus, they come in different colors and patterns to fit your decor. And nothing hides odor like glass.
The mouthpiece is simply a section of 1/2" ID (5/8" OD) plastic tubing available from any home center. It is durable, cleanable, and replaceable. Importantly, it is comfortable on the lips to deliver a great hit every time.
The Mason Cap unifies all the pieces into the Mason Monkey. It secures the downstem & bowl as well as the mouthpiece. This fine example of design and engineering can be printed on inexpensive 3D printers such as the Creality Ender 3D.
And the Pool Noodle packing core - LOL!
This is nothing but a 6.25" section of pool noodle with cut-outs to pad and protect the parts during shipping. Up to you weather you keep it to prevent the glass parts from rattling around and possibly breaking during transport or whatever.
