So I have a small straight tube bong that I want to use for concentrates. I'm stuck between buying a nail/dome setup or a curve/pad rig. Pros/Cons of both as far as price vs quality?
I've hit both and was impressed by a sweet nail/dome but I just love the way the skillet looks and performs.

Go for the domies!
I own both a nail and a skillet. The skillet was my first piece and I thought it could never get better than that. But then the day came where I had the money to invest in a titanium nail and dome setup, complete with water filtration. I was literally blown away and passed out in the middle of the day after 2 hits. Now the skillet just collects dust in my closet. The major pro of the nail setup is the heating process, it is SO much easier to get my nail red hot, due to its smaller size. Also, the nail's small surface area ensures that no oil goes astray. Just my 2 cents :)

They are both fun. Its hard to say one is better than the other. However I will say that although it is pretty straight forward to vape using a skillet it does require a little more practice that a dome and nail. They really end up costing around the same price just don't let yourself get screwed on a nail.

I prefer ti nail/dome setup, but it's really a personal preference thing. If you take earth-shattering sized dabs and aren't accident prone I'd vote skillet, otherwise nails are just more my style. I've seen some pretty gnarly burn marks from people getting too high and grazing the back of their hand on ti-pads though, so keep that in mind.
If you go w/ a nail setup, I'd highly suggest spending the extra bucks on one of the adjustable ti nails. That way if you ever get a new dome/female you won't have to worry about the height of the nail being correct. Also, some of them come w/ different nail heads, so you can keep a small one on most of the time to minimize heating time and then screw on the big boy when you're trying to get weird with it.
My buddy was trying to explain to me these new domeless nails the other day, but I couldn't really grasp the concept/don't smoke enough to care lol. I'd say do some research into those though - he's a huge oil-head, and was pretty fucking excited about them after hitting one.
