Sorry, not being particularly creative here - more practical.

I have a wooden VG which is great as far as the vaping bit is concerned. My only criticism is that the stem on the pipe is quite short so you're getting the vaped spice too hot.

I add about 9" of clear PVC hose at the mouth piece end. This is plenty to cool the vapor and you can see the smoke coming through too. I never get that 'burnt plastic' taste that people mention.

It would be great to have a long (even adjustable) section of widish clear stem that bent slightly upwards so it's easy to view.
