That Simba fritted oil rig is really tempting me even though I told myself I was done buying glass until the law changes here. I really don't need any more expensive paraphernalia sitting around but that thing is nice and I have wanted to try a frit for a long time.

The colors on frit for the oil rig is more interesting looking than on the 10" flower one!

Wow that sucks bro. Glad you got the cash back though.

@PoopMachine I didnt want to say anything, but when I first saw that pic of the recycler I thought to myself that no way it was going to vortex. Doesnt mean its not functional as a recycler though.

All good and I appreciated it. I contacted the seller and they did say that there is a vortex but its pretty weak. Theyre working on a redesign. They offered to cancel the order and I took them up on it.

Sucks.. I was really looking forward to getting that thing but id rather get one that works right than one that works sorta right.

I bought a D020 thanks to this thread, but my throat still gets quite irritated. Does this mean I should be looking for a piece with more diffusion? What sort of design allows for the most amount of diffusion with the least amount of drag? I understand that I may lose out on flavour, but I'd prioritize smooth coughless hits over it.

Fritted disc would be the most diffused and the drag is subjective based on water level. There's also peyote pillars and matrix percs.

Thanks! What about in the context of cheap high quality glass? Not necessarily cheap even, but just with a price:performance ratio similar to the D020. I don't think any of these diffuser designs could be found on dhgate/alibaba. I do see honeycombs and 10 arm percs - how would those compare?

Honeycomb is probably the most for the price. There's a fritted disc ash catcher ($50+ on amazon) you could put a j hook on which would probably diffuse a bit more.

You might do better with something that has more than one chamber for extra filtration of particulates. It has been posted on here recently, on DHgate there is a comparable piece price/value wise with the D020, it is $38 shipped and is a honeycomb and 10-arm tree perc bubbler. I owned one until I broke it :ugh: a couple weeks ago and it gives very smooth hits with little drag and I found it smoothed vapor out very well. Here's a link and a pic:

Mine from sunshinestore shipped Feb 26 and arrived in Miami today, will just need to wait a few more days for it to arrive down here via my mail forwarder service.

I have a few glass pieces.
However I am a bit vexed that the quality including shipping to California was only $28?
Pieces at the local smoke shop super thin $150?

Tomorrow is D020 Day.
Officially no!
My rules yes!

Well rather safe than sorry. The glass itself looked quite pretty...

I orderd one of those, they are tiny but the video looks promising:

I've been reading this thread for a while now and at long last I can now contribute to it! My D020 arrived today! 6 days to Australia, ~$45 shipped - not bad at all if you ask me. Stacks like a champ and the dome/nail/adapter and bowl (hilariously large for such a small piece) are all decent quality, especially for the price. I think I'm addicted now...time to pick the next piece to set my sights on! Does anyone know an ioffer, aliX or DH gate store that ships free to Australia? Shipping was more than the piece :p

Its a 18mm (outside diameter) to 14 mm (inside diameter) reducer downstem, says so in the description as well. The bowl you see is just one of those ashcatcher/bowl combos.

So, when you remove the bowl you get a 14mm connection via the downstem. You still can replace the downstem for a 18mm-18mm if you need a bigger GonG.

Thanks Herr_Dampf. I've only been into glass for the past month or so. I now have GAS unfortunately.

It's quite a learning curve getting used to all the various attachments and sizings.

If I may ask, what is the purpose of the ashcatcher/bowl combo? Is it for combustion?

Exactly. There are ashcatchers out there that have ground glass connections, those can be used with with mouthpieces and various other attachments in combination with your vape.
If your GAS is running wild ATM and you life in europe, DON'T visit the recycler thread. Just DON'T. :D

Thanks again my man! Now you just know I am headed to the recycler thread! doh but kinda cool too lol :) :)

Edit: oh Herr_dampf - you had to send me there didn't you. I love the piece you just ordered. Is it the Blaze Recycler Bong mit HoneyComb-Disk? I really love the look of that piece. So simple yet so stylish.

What vap are you using? Might not be a water pipe problem but more you taking too much vapor to using too much heat. For example if I crank up to 5+ on my solo I usually will cough; but if I start 3ish and go up I get alot less irritation

I can't blaming them trying to capitalise on the glass rush though, they're in it for the money as much as the Americans. Welcome to the free market.
