The EveryoneDoesIT.com Team Has a Long History of Success Both on and Offline

From the early beginnings of our first shop, customers have always praised our selection, prices, and flair for the imaginative. Ten years ago, our first retail shop opened up, specialising in smoking paraphernalia, piercing jewellery and giftware. The shop still stands in St. Albans although we’ve moved through four different locations since then, including an outlet in London’s busy Leicester Square.

In 2000, we opened up our first E-Commerce website at BodyJewelleryShop.com. The site specialises in high quality body jewellery at incredibly low prices and has gone from strength to strength since its launch. It is now one of the most popular piercing sites in the world. With tens of thousands of happy customers, millions of regular visitors and awards received from various bodies in the piercing industry, the runaway success of that site shows no signs of stopping.

EveryoneDoesIT.com was launched in 2001, on the same principals as BodyJewelleryShop.com. Using updated technology and what we felt to be a more intuitive design, backing this up with excellent customer service and very low prices we knew the site would be a great success.

Just how successful, however, none of us could have predicted. Receiving an average of 50 million hits a month, EveryoneDoesIT.com is arguably the world’s biggest smoking website.
We’ve been featured in almost every major newspaper, on radio and television. We’ve had a presence at many major smoking events, summer festivals and regularly crop up in topical online publications. EveryoneDoesIT.com, it would appear, is in the hearts and minds of all smokers!

But it doesn’t end there!
Our team are continuously striving to offer you the best possible service, quality and value for money. We have just spent the last 6 months creating a brand new EveryoneDoesIT website; chock full of fantastic new features! Now, you can really tailor your shopping experience with us – with full order tracking, member accounts, wish lists and even notification e-mails to let you know as soon as an item is back in stock!
The new site, aside from looking absolutely fantastic and being a lot faster than the old one, also saves our staff lots of time in processing orders. This means we can concentrate on spending time finding more great new products for you and keeping your favourite smoking website as up-to-date as possible.

Republic of Bongland very kindly made this special one-off Hurricane 3-Jet Bong for EDIT. The frosted markings are the old school EveryoneDoesIT.com logo, with a special cameo from Leafy himself. With EDIT’s former poster boy all but gone from the shop these days (you can still find him occasionally;) it is a welcome flashback to the stylings of yesteryear.

The EHLE glass bongs and bong parts and bong accessories range benefits from over 55 years of experience of Ehle glassware engineering. Since 1988, Ehle, the creator of the EHLE glass bong range has continued his father’s life work since he founded the “Günther Ehle Glasinstrumentenfabrik” in Limburg, Germany in 1949.

Ehle Straight Cylinders Ice & Clear - 45cm flanked by 35cm

Ehle Ball Cylinders - flanked by 250ml & 100ml

All EHLE Glassware is produced on their own premises, without exception, and they do not import any material from low-cost countries and stamp corporate logos on it afterward. Any sub-contracted manufacturers for raw materials or semi-finished products are sourced from within EHLE-Glass’ homeland of Germany.

Each EHLE glass waterpipe piece is signed and dated with the year of its creation, adding that personal touch missing from many other glass bong brands.

Ehle Pre-Coolers & Ash-Catchers

Serving Suggestion Only

Ehle Glass Bongs have a huge array of glass pipe accessories from spare bowls and diffusers, to Carbon Filter Adaptors (even in 29.2), Pokers and Glass Gauzes. They also boast one of the most varied selections of Pre-coolers (also in 29.2) and Ash-catchers on EDIT, while also boasting Reducing Diffusers and the only Expanding Diffuser (14.5 to 18.8), though the custom flame-polish logos do make them terribly expensive at the moment. Standard logo expanders should be on EDIT shelves by early Spring 2009.  

The EDIT photographer gets a bit excited

The recent addition of 360° rotating pictures for selected products means you can really get a feel for a product before purchasing it – useful in this day and age of credit crunching, rising prices and falling wages, where money is at an even extra premium than it usually is.

The product rotates all around allowing you see it from every side, while you can click and drag the mouse over it to control the rotation yourself. It’s the next best thing to actually being in a shop, giving you an opportunity to inspect its various perspectives.

As well as the examples below, here are some more 360° captured products for your perusal:

Have you, like me, ever been relaxing in the garden of a late summer evening with a whiskey and Vimto, thoughtfully stroking your chin, momentarily wondering where your beard’s gone before remembering shaving it off this morning, and deeply contemplating exactly which insect is the very fastest in the world? Can you compare a winged insect’s flight speed with that of a grounded running insect? Should the two disciplines remain separate, like judo and boxing? Or should there be one final, glorious face-off to determine the ultimate fastest insect in the world?

But how would you race an airborne insect against a grounded insect? Individual time trials would be more accurate but not nearly as much fun. Would it be possible to get them to move at their fastest possible speeds in a straight line over a pre-determined distance at the same time? How would you get them to wear numbered bibs?

Representing the grounded insects and relying heavily on its legs, the Green Tiger Beetle, which doesn’t appear to have too many rivals according to many years of other people’s research and a couple of my quick Google searches. There are some large tropical cockroaches of the family Dictyoptera which are pretty quick as well, but if they are not even going to give them proper names then they don’t count. 

Tiger Beetles are faster than tomatoes

Green Tiger Beetle – whoever discovered it certainly knew how to name an insect. I like to think there are all sorts of Tiger Beetles which are colour-coded according to their particular skills. Green clearly represents speed. I imagine Beige Tiger Beetles have, over millions of years, developed a superior interior designing ability. 

Cockroach of the family Dictyoptera - according to my experiments - is faster than a rolled sprout

And we think Leonardo Da Vinci thought up helicopters all by himself. He clearly nicked the idea off Donatello

But the ‘Death’s Head’ Hawkmoth has  been scientifically clocked at over 53mph and carries considerably more weight; it also has what appears to be a human skull on its back; has also starred alongside Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins in a famous horror movie, which means it could easily keep pace with the Dragonfly in a race, beat it up afterwards and then steal its girlfriend and take her to much better parties. However, in an insectoid drag race or short-distance sprint, the slightness and instant speed of the Dragonfly would likely triumph every time, creating for me a dilemma which cannot be solved by science, philosophy, or random guessing alone.

Hawkmoth - possibly fears the Dragonfly over short-distances

So while the insects of flight squabble amongst themselves for the right to represent their discipline, it is clear that the leg-inspired Tiger Beetle, of the Green corps, remains unchallenged for the title of fastest insect in the world.

Thus, my late summer evenings sat pondering in the garden, stroking my chin, momentarily wondering where my beard came from and then remembering I haven’t shaved for a few weeks, still flow with whiskey (though not Vimto as my wife has banned all concentrates from the house since I began racing insects in the living room), and are now cluttered with contemplations on which animal and/or insect can move backwards the fastest. My money’s on bears.  

"You might wanna move."

The Saguaro cactus is usually found in Mexico and the American southwest and can grow taller than an average sized oak tree. It grows very slowly, with one very old example in Mexico now standing at over 58 feet tall. That’s longer than half a 100-foot stretch of road. Botanists, cacti experts and professional fairground cake weight guessers estimate the Mexican monster cactus to weigh in at around 20,000lb. Another Saguaro in Arizona has reached 52 feet tall, though is hoping to close in on its Mexican rival by the middle of next century.

As a business, EDIT has always tried to represent all levels of the glass pipe industry, from the cheapest and simplest to the extortionate and extravagant and everything in between. For European-made glass, especially German, there is no better place to come for the extensive ranges and competitive prices.

Renowned German glass blowers RooR Glass have been a flagship product of EDIT’s for years, with a range incorporating all of their standard bongs in 3.2mm, 4.2mm, 5mm and 7mm thick glass, as well as their great value RooR Blue range. There is the dazzling array of special customised pipes, boasting such custom additions as crown mouthpieces, colour mid-sections and dichroic marbles to name but a few. EDIT also stocks a fantastic range of RooR accessories such as custom bowls, diffusers, bong bags, pokers, carbon filters, pre-coolers and spliff adaptors.

The EDIT Ehle Glass range is still fairly new and will continue to expand over 2009, but even so the selection is still pretty good already with some very cool and attractive styles.  The quality of these Ehle bongs places them at the top table of the glass pipe blowing brands in the world, and who knows if a time will come soon if it will be their turn to sit at the head and carve the turkey. Every single Ehle piece is signed with the Ehle signature to guarantee authenticity.

Sharing lunch on that table with Ehle and RooR is the exceptional Hurricane water pipe. With 3-Jet and 6-Jet versions, plus a variety of sizes and designs, the selection is still quite broad despite the singular design model of the Hurricane water pipe. The quality of Hurricane pipes is all the more obvious due to the vastly inferior copies that have infiltrated the market thanks to retailers like EDIT who don’t wish to just serve those with a bit of cash. However, the inferior copies have only served to highlight the phenomenally high standard that genuine Hurricane bongs are made to.

Weed Star bongs have a fabulous array of different styles, from long skinny ones to short fat ones, beaker bottoms and bubbles to bent necks and ice twists. They have two levels of quality to peruse, the good quality and great value range of 3mm thick glass bongs and the understandably pricier 5mm thick WS Series, which include percolated bongs and much more flamboyant designs.

G-Spot Glass are probably best known for their amazing man-sized pipe construction and their superb collaborations with Laurence Cherniak. Their range covers a wide variety of styles and glass thicknesses, from 2.5mm one-piece bongs to 9mm thick and 60cm tall three-piece sliders.

The Molino Glass section is where you will find some of the most intricately designed Headie pieces – bubblers and spoon pipes that are such pure works of art that it makes you wonder how anyone could dirty them with tobacco smoke and smoking herb ash. Dirty them they do though, as Molino’s artfully created pieces are also highly functional and sturdy pipes of the highest order.

One of the first known accounts of the word ‘hemp’ in the English language is its inclusion in a dictionary under the original spelling ‘hempe’ around the year 1000CE, though its use among a multitude of different cultures has been recorded for thousands of years before then. Its use is prevalent throughout the history of the peoples of the Asian continent and even Germanic, Gaul and Viking tribes made good use of hemp fibre.

A Viking longboat probably had hemp on it

A good 150 years after hemp’s first appearance in an English dictionary, hemp fibre was used to open Europe’s first ever paper mill, with hemp quickly becoming the most popular material for making paper for over 700 years afterwards.
