I choo-choo-chose you, Ms. Hu!
Anyway, now the waiting game beginns.
News from Kathy regarding the Stemline Honeycomb with fem. GG:
Guess I have to give it a try then.
So, am I the only one that loves the blue one?
looking forward to your report
Not at all, I like it too but it's just not my daily driver
Hey all, I just got my new J Hook from colie glass and my friends Pipesdaddy piece came in today as well Thought I would share some pictures.
This is the pipesdaddy Inline to honeycomb, he picked it up for something like $70.
The inline is attached to the other side wall and the slits are pretty clean
Heres my MGW ashcatcher with new J-hook, works beautifully when attached to my Solo
For anyone interested.... my dispute with Kathy Hu was denied by Ali even tho I provided photo proof that she sent the wrong size and gave them a very detailed description of what I should have gotten, what I got and how the pictures illustrated that I indeed was sent the wrong part.
So... I wouldnt expect much in the way of the buyer protection from Ali.. seems like its about worth as much as Ebays.
Im done with Kathy.. I might buy from someone else but telling someone to send a $10.00 part back on their own dime because you sent the wrong thing just doesnt fly in my book.
Yeah my 10 arm perc arrived and it was 14mm not the 18mm I was told. Couldn't get a refund, sadly, but Kathy is sending adapter and a 18mm bowl.
Fantastic piece though. Hits are so smooth now.
How are you filling it? Where abouts do you let the water get up to by the percs?I have this piece too, it purrrrrrs like a kitten.... uses very little water too...

I fill from the stem and take a drag which pulls the water up through the honeycomb into the chamber with the 10arm perc. In the honeycomb section there is usually water above and below the comb and in the arm chamber there's a few inches, I don't have it in front of me so using memory, if water hits my lips from a pull then I pour some water out the top.
What a gorgeous action love it! bar the combustionOn DH gate, they have this piece that intrigues me, a knock-off of the Helix pipe which uses venturi effect with carb jets to cool the smoke and create a really cool vortex effect as you inhale - see pics and video below. This one on DHgate could be the real thing unbranded (real ones come from China too, I've heard) or a cheap knockoff, no way of knowing.
I'm just curious about how this would work with vapor and what you would need to do to connect it to a water tool or direct to a vaporizer, it has a 14.4mm joint.
This china version is $33 bucks shipped (shipping cost as much as the pipe), while the real Helix pipes sell in the US at GravLabs for $187.

The Jet Flash is another version, seen it for 85 dollars.
So my solo is coming today so I'm looking to get a piece to use only with my solo. I'm debating between the d020 or this one

Which do you guys suggest? I know the d020 is a piece that everyone likes, all should I just go with it?
Edit: Poking around some more on the Intertubes, I found out the Jet Flash is considered a RipOff by the Helix inventor who seems royally pissed at them. Also, by more closely examining the pictures, I think the DHgate Helix pipe is probably the real thing made at the same factory as the Helix and they sell them out the side door. Helix is supposed to be higher quality glass construction.

I'd go with the d020. It has less drag and is easier to judge your draw speed.
Unless you have a sensitive throat/lungs and need the extra diffusion, then the honeycomb.
