Vertex stands at 12.5 inches tall with mouthpiece. This glass piece is unlike any other on the market with a Swiss perc downstem, 4 hole diffuser, faberge body, and a spiked mouthpiece. This is an 19mm glass piece. This piece will be well balanced between Prophet and Protégé, whereas one is pure flavor with no diffusion and the other is extremely smooth and cool intake.

If you are looking for an ash catcher, you want the extended drop down only for that added clearance.  The standard drop down and ash catcher will not have enough clearance for this rig.
