mrb0ng's take

The Alien is a fun mini with glowing eyes. The Hammer Pro is a serious handheld that actually hits cold, and it can grow into the Ultimate later.

When to pick the HEMPER instead

Pick the Hemper Alien Bong 6" if you want a cheap novelty mini for the shelf.

The big difference: frozen glycerin vs. water

Water cools smoke a little. A Freeze Pipe goes further: the sealed glycerin chamber goes in the freezer for about an hour, and the smoke travels through a frozen coil on its way to you. That's where the extra smoothness comes from.
