Thats a seriously sized Liebig!
Is that a single tube in a tube? Or shotgun style?

Got to be a shotty otherwise there'd be a reducer between the last 90 bend and the PC, don't it?

Looking forward to seeing your bubbler polished up if a quick pot build comes up this nice! Nice future proof build too.

I hope you've let your mate know about us :handgestures-thumbupleft:
