Anyone remember the Jack pipe?

Kurt Cobain woulda loved that pipe :grimacing:

About the Jack pipe. I never had one so let’s keep it clear that in this case I’m an absolute armchair specialist. But it seems to me that the ā€œdouble venturi double vortex barrel ricochetā€ thing is a whole lotta fancy words to make something more easily marketable among stoners who the bulk of probably don’t even properly know what a Venturi valve or effect actually is.

I won’t say there’s not a venturi action going on in this pipe. But I will say that by that same principle, every bong has a venturi action going on in the downstem. Because all ā€œventure principleā€ really means is the fact that a reduction in diameter will cause a higher speed of the product being transfered through that diameter. This causes a local diminished pressure, which in Venturi valves is used to suck in a stream from a secondary source.

Basically a venture valve looks kinda like this: ===>–’--<=== with the — being the smaller diameter part and the ’ being the secondary source that is pulled into the main stream ====

I struggle to find the ricochet part. And I also struggle to find the vortex part feasible, assuming the bores are both a simple straight bore.
