I just got my Kathy Hu HC bubbler today (ordered 2/24), but only 4 or 5 of the tiny holes are passing air/water, resulting in some horrible drag. I've done a 15 minute soak with boiling water and PBW, no improvement yet.
Anyone else receive practically non-functioning honeycomb pieces from Kathy?
edit: Maybe 7 fire if I draw as hard as I can. Drawing casually is enough to bubblestack the can with fresh cranberry in distilled h20, but after 2 or 3 dabs or with regular water it's not as exciting as most HC's I've seen vids of. Water level equalization in the downstem is also slow as a result of the drag.
Honestly if I didn't already have a sunshineglass d020, I would be more pleased. This one is 20% more expensive and 10% smaller than the d020, took an extra week to ship, and mine barely functions as designed, though still useful. The restricted draw and limited diffusion (specific to my piece) make it ok for dabbing for me.
