I also cant get away from my Dnail SiC, it is beyond easy to clean and maintain in PERFECT condition and I think does exceptionally well with milking small amounts. My SiC really did not come to life until I paired it with a 710 coil, it provided much tighter temp window at far lower temp values on the PID.+1 for 710 axial coil heater, banger, cap and balls, I am cheap so I pair it with an Auber RDK200 (US$60).
That is my flavor rig (with a ruby insert that was US$40).
I mainly use my DNail SiC Halo as it is so much easier to keep clean, these are getting cheaper now and I use the same Auber RDK200 PID controller to run both set ups.
Most of my glass is thru DHGate, with the last piece from yingmin5 (a rattlecan). If everyone ends up adding these new shipping charges the main motivation for getting china glass would be diminished at least. yingmin5 has not added them yet so maybe some will resist. Or, as has been suggested, the additional charges may just be to get thru crazy times. We will have to see what happens.Are people still using DHGate?

New charges aside, I can't really afford most American or German glass so it is china or bust for me for the most part.
I have been using my Stvenimz Gooseneck Rattle Can a fair bit for dabs lately, hands-free, standing room only,

This example is one of the better examples I have received, the 18mm joint has the slightest tilt back toward the bong, only seen with a clean Halo and terp balls as the balls work like a bubble in a level, always settling back toward the bong.are the joints all off balanced and not level?
No, all I got from Sunshinestore that time was the message as to why they aren't shipping to Oz at this time.@LesPlenty - I think you forgot to insert pic.
im still waiting on mine, been over a month, but I wanted to ask how it hits with no downstream and no water?
I know you said you fill it up mostly with water and no downstem, which I understand why, but I like to use dry pipes so there is no risk of spilling water. Is the chamber too big for using it dry or does it rip nice both ways?
@LesPlenty - I think you forgot to insert pic.
I got this one in January and have been really happy with it. It was only $25 back in Jan, but still a good deal for under $40.

Sounds a lot like my own DHGate experiences... got so tired of it, but the allure of all the glass is unrelenting!I ordered a glass bubbler from sunshinestore back in the middle of March... finally received it today but...
THEY FORGOT TO INCLUDE THE MOUTHPIECE!!!
back to waiting another 2 months!
I've got a couple orders coming, two ordered 04/11 and shipped 04/13 and one ordered 05/01 and shipped 05/09, free shipping on all. Tracking numbers don't give any additional info. Probably not the best time to order from China.
