Glad to report my original Toker II is still in use today (circa 1978) … after getting tons of mileage out of it in college, and pre-kids, we broke it out now that our kids are out of the house, and it works as good as it ever does. The hardest part is finding something to smoke out of it 🙂 My friend love using it, and I am so glad the design is back in production. Every time I use it I fear it breaking! In any event, if you never tried one of these, please buy one… they are great. Just a word of advice… keep it clean! I clean mine after each use and it looks like new. Good luck and happy toking!
