So, since ceramic seems to be making a rise in popularity, I even picked up a cheap domeless one from my local shop, I was wanting to find out more about the material, and possibly source where mine came from as well (probably going to go back to the shop and ask the owner about it). Googling...

I did xD Yeah, I know my math was off at first.. Stoned mistakes. ALSO, DE confirmed this to be a china-fake. But that being said, it's not a bad fake.. It still does what the DE promises to do, enhance the flavor and keep your piece safer :) ... Still, gonna pick up a REAL DE soon!

I've emailed Dab Essentials these pictures with the same burning question!

Right, but I mainly want to know if it's a knock-off or not now! Because if I do have a real DE, then I have an old one, but I guess I will never know for sure. Also I one time got an aluminum 18mm, and the second my torch touched it the head melted! Took it back, the owner of that particular...

That being said doing more reading I found this little informative tidbit; although can't be too sure Dab Essentials Domeless Nail I'll post some better pics, can someone who owns the 18mm dab essentials comment at all?

I just worry about gas off I can't see, the flaking I've read I'm sure is mostly caught by the water filtration I usually choose to use.

Actually looking more at pictures I'm 99% sure it's a knock-off. Oh well.

Yeah, I figured @ 40$ for a domeless, it was gonna be a China knock-off. But, it passed the magnet test.. And I have been blasting it with a propane torch to get it up to heat - I haven't had any negative effects from smoking it. One is always wary their stuff is safe at one point or another...

It's very hard to tell quality of metals if you don't know them..

Here's mine

Yes, I've seen that nail as well. My shop was selling the real Concrete Concentrate nail, so maybe mine is real Ti too.

So... I've lurked for a bit, this is my first post. ANYWAYS. I've been dabbing for awhile now, and have been using this domeless I got from my local favorite shop, which ran me 40$. I've been using it for 3 months now, and there's minimal wear on it, and it tastes great. But.. I'm curious more...
