this one on the left looks like a gridded version of an sg splashguard

anyone got any info on this? im considering ordering one of these instead of prestons waffles, just wanna get some feedback first

[freakyfoot]

its an inverted 4 arm

[Frosty]

anyone have one that can give a review?

[Kudos]

Edit: I suck.

[PSloat]

Sg makes inverted 4's too and yes they do use them as splash guards to.. I have personally never hit a Sgw inverted.. but i have hit a Sg inverted 4 and love it.. was definitely surprised...

[awood]

I'd like to know the answer to this question as well. I am planning on purchasing a SGW waffle in early January but these invert mini's look amazing. Can anyone compare and contrast the two?


Will a XL Headman Headies A/C fit on these? I have my eyes on those as well. A large A/C with a single chamber tube sounds nice. :)

[h3tty sesh]

i have heard nothing but good things about both designs but preston said that he would not be making the inv. 4 design anymore because steve was still doing it.

[fornoone]

From what I understand, Preston at SGW is the one who actually designed the inverted 4-arm, and Steve from SG uses it as his splashguard/puts it in tubes.

Glassaholic on here has an inverted-4 that he might be able to give you a review on :) It's made by SGW like the one above....

A few others have the SG version of the inverted 4
must not been around the glass scene long...
the 4 arm splashguard/inverted4 is a signature design by SG

sorry just can't stand misinformation

Yeah, I had actually been informed that I was misinformed a day or two after making this post...... just forgot I had even made it, I'll edit it! :p

[hedeez]

I have an sgw inverted 4 gridded

Its taller than sg's design, and requires more water, but its diffusion is incredible

[Tobybologna]

Yeah, I've got an SG i4, hits pretty fucking sweet. But I'd like to see how the SGW version rips.

[big_tom]

sgw stoped production of these because he didnt want to steal sgs design while its in production
he said the only reason he did a few of them is because sg stopped production for a long while

[OrganicOdins420]

After just returning from visiting with Preston, I can tell you he still makes these most definitely, I just don't think the stemless are the most sought after design. (The rip is really killer on these though)

[hedeez]

GL getting one though.... had to practically beg the man for mine ;)

Mine was also the first he technically sold...

big tom is right, Preston really doesnt want to infringe on any of SG's designs, even though SG and SGW's inverted 4 are very different. Their construction is even very different. SGW's is not tagged like SG does his grids, rather theyre cut. Also the bottoms are anchored adding even more diffusion

--Edit
Just noticed you were trying to decide between the invert 4 and the waffle. The waffle is more versatile, good for premium bubble stacking with adequate water, or thin diffusion with low water for oil. Amazing design as well fyi ;)

[big_tom]

thank you hedeez

[follow1yourpath]

Hey guys, I also like the style of the waffle tube, the diffusion looks pretty nuts. How much are those running for? I'd like too snag one

[s1kjello]

Can anyone throw in a comparison of the inverted circ against these other two tubes?
the waffle
the inverted 4
and the inverted circ?
