I'm not saying no one should order from Joda, I'm just saying that his time estimates may not be reliable and he might get a big prodo order that becomes more important than your custom job. This has been the case with my order, it hopefully will not be the case with your order.

I think Joda's art is gorgeous, in fact I've recently been talking to him about having a piece made. What you've said won't influence me personally, but I'm totally on your side for having said it. You were polite, respectful, and didn't let emotion turn your post into an attack. While it *could* have been done via pm, I think what you've shared is totally reasonable, if a little off topic for this thread.:2c:

You guys are more than welcome to hate me for my comment, but all I'm doing is sharing my personal experience. That's what forums are generally for. I understand that custom work takes time, and if he had told me it would take a month I would have been fine with that. The fact of the matter is that he told me it would be a week and it has now been over 3 weeks and it's still on the back burner with no updates. That, I am not so fine with.

I'm not saying the dude isn't a phenomenal glass blower. His work looks great, that's why I commissioned a piece in the first place. All I'm saying is that his focus right now seems to be on large batches of prodo pieces. That's totally fair and I understand why he's focusing on that market. I just wish I had known that there was a chance that my commissioned piece was going to be placed in line behind a much larger order. If he had said, hey I have this much larger order to get through before I can get to your piece, that would have been fine by me, but that's not how it happened.

I'm glad that your custom work has always gone smoothly. I would love to have had the same experience as you. However, I haven't, and I think it's perfectly fair to share my experience so others can be prepared when placing orders.

I'm not saying no one should order from Joda, I'm just saying that his time estimates may not be reliable and he might get a big prodo order that becomes more important than your custom job. This has been the case with my order, it hopefully will not be the case with your order.

Think you misinterpreted, at least on my post. I can't speak for CC. No hate to you at all - maybe a little to your post. There's always a chance things will go like this with any custom - be it glass, a custom vape or a custom anything else (hell... with custom remodeling of your home, this is better than most experiences!).

Some things I've received from Joda have been right on time, some have been a little late and one was instant - way before promised. Again, IME that's the way it goes - and not just with Joda. It's the nature of the beast, and anyone ordering custom from anyone should know this.

My issue with your post is that it doesn't seem to me to be forum fodder - especially this thread. As CC pointed out, this type of detailed griping about a delay (pretty small delay compared to what can typically be expected with any custom order) is probably best directed to the vendor in PM. And, if you must launch a rant on a specific vendor - probably more appropriate in their thread than here.

As far as 3 weeks, 1 week or whatever, I suggest you stick with Amazon or shop vendors listed on FC that have items in stock if you would like your timetables to be accurate. You may find your expectations better met.

does anyone have a link on dhgate or ebay for 18mm 90 degree glass adapter. I need 2 so I can use for connecting EVO and hydra bomb without using silicone hose and keeping EVO in upright position.
It offers only the one that has male/female on one side and straight connection for silicone hose on the other.

thanks

I think this is what you're looking for.
I just copied your search terms, added "dhgate" and put it in google : )

The hydrabomb does not need an adapter to pair with the Evo. They were made for each other. But for other pieces that are upright you would have to either invert the evo or make a little whip adapter.

But if you are looking for a 90 degree whip adapter for the Evo here you go. You will need 1x 18mm female and 1x 18mm male plus a piece of silicone tubing to make the adapter.

I dont hate your comment or anything else in life for that matter. @flotntoke went into a more detailed reason as to why that post was inappropriate. My sediments exactly. Ive waited over 6months past the expected due date for custom items, and as long as they are offering refunds and not running with your money you have the option of patience or refund. I sympathize when its something that's supposed to be in stock and the shipping is delayed. I only recommended Joda glass for Quality American Heady Glass not for speedy turnaround times and you chose to speak ill of other qualities of his.
I'm not being biased or taking sides, just pointing out observations.

@pigfoot, that's not what I need. that's a straight connection basically. I need 90 degree 18mm male to female.

I know they exist cos you can find it in this or EVO topic.
the goal is all glass connection using HT + hydra bomb stand (from DHGate) connected with EVO via glass bridge (claison) and EVO is upright not inverted.

BTW how to upload photos on this forum? outside service needed, or there is a way to directly upload here?

This thread is about CHEAP GLASS! (so I thought)?
All (or most) custom glass I broke as I opened the package.
Waste of $.

Glass breaks really easy.
Cheap glass is practical.
That is what this thread is about.

CANNABIS would not be hijacked! (should be free)

Keep it CHEAP!

Or maybe something like this can be adapted to your needs? Just use a male to male on one end and plug the top right? If I understand your needs. (I have an Evo and plenty of Hydra tubes but no hydra-foot to play with height requirements)

yeah, didn't see a cheaper one. You may have to get the OGB one for that. He will customize it to your exact specifications though which is really nice. I have been buying from him for years.

The only cheap adapter I found like that I bought to use my PWTA with the lotus, it hasn't come in yet but I think it's more than 90 degrees anyway. more like 120 degree angle or so by the pics.

My last 3 orders have been through Hemping. 3 total days shipping time from China to my house via DHL express! expensive but fast!:rockon: BUT usually its around 2-3 days max after it hits the US for the other shippers. The hard part is over and if you made it through customs it shouldn't be much longer!

If you get the free shipping, it's epacket for the US. Mine usually arrive in about 12 days total, though some take longer. They can sit in customs for a while. It's worth it though, for the prices we're paying. Now that I have a backup (or two), I don't get as anxious : )

I always second OGB. He's made me 10-15 adapters and reclaim catchers so far and I've only broken a few after years of hard use. I like to ask him to make impossible things, he gets pretty close though.

It seems like Joda has switched his focus to larger batches of prodo pieces.

I understand why he's focusing on prodo batches over commissioned pieces, considering he has to deal less with negotiations and can just focus on churning out a big batch for a large lump payment.

That said, I personally can't recommend Joda for commissioned pieces at the moment.

I commissioned a relatively simple enano gong with a carb from him after reading so many positive posts about his custom work. We worked out the details and I made the payment over 3 weeks ago. He was supposed to ship it out over 2 weeks ago (Monday the 10th to be exact). First it was postponed because the joint cracked, and he had to wait for replacement joints. Then when the joints finally arrived (he was already over a week late at this point) he put my order on the back burner because he had a large batch order that he had to travel for. Last time I heard from him was over a week ago now and I've been waiting 4 days for him to respond to my last message asking when he thinks he'll be able to ship it. I've asked him several times since the joint cracked for a photo of the work he has done and he has ignored that part of my messages consistently, so I'm curious as to whether he's actually even started on it.

He has offered to refund me several times due to the long wait. However, considering I haven't gotten a response in 4 days, my choices at this point are to either wait an indeterminate amount of time to receive the piece or wait an indeterminate amount of time for him to issue a refund. Considering how long I've already had to wait I figure I'll just wait until he delivers and keep my fingers crossed that he at least delivers a good product in the end.

TL;DR I can't yet speak to the quality of Joda's commissioned work, but I advise you not to trust his time estimates if you do decide to place a custom order with him. If he gets a bigger order after you make your payment, expect to be placed on the back burner indefinitely.

Hopefully, whenever he does deliver, I'll be able to give a glowing review on the quality of his work.
But currently, I just feel disrespected that he couldn't take 30 minutes to fix the joint and mail the piece out to me before leaving for his business trip, especially considering he was already over a week late.

My apologies for the rant.
I thought I responded to your message a few days ago. Either I didn't hit send or it didn't register. Either way there was a mistake made. My apologies. Your piece is in the mail. I apologize for the wait but when there's 10,000$ on the table and 50$ on the table guess which one takes a back seat.

Just so everybody is clear 50$ doesn't buy a piece of my soul!!!

I offered several times to just refund your money or wait, you chose wait. Now you put me on blast?!?!? Wtf dude? I don't take photos of half finished pieces (bad juju). Btw I went far above and beyond some simple gong for you to make up for the wait. So enjoy that! Although I gotta say I wish I hadn't now.

Btw if a joint cracks I don't "just repair it" you ordered brand new glass you get brand new glass. Glad you know so much about blowing glass though.

Also, I didn't put any production work ahead of you. I did however put a meeting 5 states away about a production order ahead of you. So my apologies for that.

Instagram is a great place to buy glass. I just paid 110 for this little american made banger hanger I fell in love with because of the colors! The purple raindrop and green marble really do it for me. I'll share more info once I actually get it and test it.

WOW! Red Elvis Klein just out of the box! I will post more pics later but wow...No link since he is selling these privately only.

PM Me if you want one in Red Elvis or Mega Mai Tai and I will get an order together, I want another!

I like that, not meaning to burst your bubble but that too is a Chinese rig I believe. Unfortunately he and other sellers are misrepresenting things as US glass but that one is one of the new Banger Hanger styles you can find mass produced in China out of colored glass. This ebay seller sells most of that guys stuff for around $80 and he will probably take $50, plus they are a lot less if you buy 10-20. That being said it is pretty and if the function is good who cares where it was made. As long as you don't pay extra thinking it was US when it's Chinese...

I just bought 7 new Chinese rigs, all that cost more than that so don't feel bad! lol I love Chinese glass.

Ya that kinda raised my suspicion as the glass colour raindrop is a clear blue. That's more likely purple rain.

My latest pickup included a little 8" slyme FTK. I like this little guy a lot! It has what looks like a little disc shaped perc with maybe 4 polished holes. A little more restrictive than the klein or straight fab with 30-50 slits but not too much more. Very nice pick-up for my collection! More pics and more rigs to come. Got a coupke of Double Mai Tai and Red Elvis Klein as well!
