This spoon adds a swirling Venturi effect, cooling the smoke. As well as adding an extra air intake, for a fuller lung capacity. Being the three holes added for swirl, are just the size of pin/needle holes. Adding up to a little smaller then the carburetor itself. The air intake and the cooled smoke mesh together for more flavorful taste. Some might not prefer "air within their rip". As they like the concentrated smoke hitting their lungs, for a slap of carbon monoxide. But if your not one to complain. Then this wont bother you one bit. If the smoke seems to start to pull slow because of herbal clogging within the bowl. Simply cover the two bottom holes, or simply one, or however many is needed, to tighten the airflow. Doing so will also create some chaos to the swirl. As if the tornado is within your finger tips. This piece is definitely worth the buy.

The helix one piece mini is the best piece anyone can have, but at $80? You can get it from a freakin' local smoke shop for about half that price. I got my helix mini from Sam's Smoke in the university district of Seattle if you don't wanna deal with shipping and handling, or the over pricing-ness of douche city.

The technology in this pipe is amazing. It swirls the smoke in a cool spiral that you can see while taking a hit and it helps in creating a smooth toke. Definitely worth every penny and the five stars.
