Octobowl was great till i noticed it came in with a large scratch on side of bowl and after 2 weeks of use it cracked where the scratch was at.

It was a replacement bowl for a 18" steamroller, also by Grav Labs. It was better than the original bowl, having a mini handle which is convenient, and also a built in screen instead of just a small hole. I still prefer the cone shape of the stock bowl, but the built-in screen more than makes up for that difference. The additional free 'taster' pipe is great too, very portable and tasty, the only small pipe I like enough to use.

The spokes were too big/wide and resins closed after 2 uses and trying to get any airflow I had been using a small paper clip but 2 of the spokes have now broken off and rendered it useless. I'm very unhappy with this purchase

That honeycomb or whatever filter built-in at the bottom is nearly impossible to clean. Only flaw I see with this product.

I really wanted to like this, but the size of the holes makes it clog up a bit too easily. If I can't easily fit the tip of a toothpick or pipe cleaner into it to clean it out, there is an issue for any prolonged use. You will need to clean it frequently.
