I'm designing a bubbler!

hey ACD'ers!
While looking around for a mid-to-high end bubbler in Europe, I was recommended to a glass blower in Germany called Steak Glassworks. His prices are reasonable, and for the opportunity to design my own glass from scratch, I couldn't resist!
Here was my first design:
It will be used with a Herborizer 18.8 XL first off. In the future, I'd like to use it with a log vape, and maybe also a Cloud (unless its too top heavy, not sure)
Intentions of my design -
> Relatively small, bottom-heavy, stable. Simple design, relatively low-cost
> Moderate amount of diffusion to preserve flavor, simple perc system
> Diffusion holes are low in the chamber to allow low water levels
> Integrated 18.8 downstem, with showerhead joined to base for added durability and ease of cleaning
> Removable 18.8 GONG mouthpiece - can be rotated 180 degrees for 2 different vaporizing positions (eg. sitting and standing) - Gives option to use hose adapter - Separates the most fragile piece from the main chamber
Steak is going to check if its possible to join the showerhead to the base, but apart from that, he says the design is totally do-able. He also has other options for the diffusion, so the showerhead might be changed to something else. The removable mouthpiece would be by a keck clip while in use.
So now I've made a digital version of the design to work out the dimensions etc -
Some options for future mouthpieces -
Color decisions will be made after the physical design is locked down.
So thats where the project is at.. thought some of you would like to see it. I'd also like to ask for opinions, suggestions etc, I value your opinions, glassheads!
