I want that piece but the shipping isnt free and I cant stomach paying almost as much for shipping as the piece costs.
i ended up buying this new piece from kathy. no idea how good it will be, was looking from something small that could hold ice, this fit the bill nicely at 12". will post a mini-review when i get it. hopefully the e-nano will fit on that stem, didn't realize when i bought it how little clearance there is from there to the main tube.

Nice! I like the cobalt blue. One thing to keep in mind - ice is better for combustion smoke. For vaping, warm water is actually preferred

i notice on the sunshinestore that things costs more , i would try to find it at another
I'm almost positive the nano will fit that. The nano fits perfectly fine on a bubbler I have with a similar joint and spacing, the GB-186.
i just measured mine, and it is right at 1-3/16" from the center of the 18mm joint to the outside of the can, give or take .025, just using calipers

OK. So I kept searching (that damn Glass Acquisition Syndrome) and stumbled across this.
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/qb-003-glass-water-pipe-with-3-honeycomb/185773618.html
My cousin and I will split the cost. Around 70 US shipped. It will be our smoking piece when we get together.
Edit: I'm baked. The reason I post this is because I wanted to see if anyone has a video of this. I couldn't find one on google or youtube. Thanks if you can upload one.

For only $20 more you could get a Jhan Pixel 16' triple honeycomb with 5mm thick glass for $90 with the FC discount. Personally I feel the quality looks a lot better so I'd be tempted to pay that little bit extra for a piece made by a quality artist. Here's a video of it in action in case you're interested.
You'll notice Jhan's discs are a closer together than the Sunshine Store piece which I'm guessing might affect the function but some around here will probably know better than me.
Edit: I forgot to say that Jhan is a member on these forums, user name @redglassgallery, and has a thread here. The stuff he sells on iOffer are basically unbranded AEON Glass pieces which is why the quality is so good.

I got one and a 20-D. I use it with a TV Rev for portability, works pretty well, a little uneven at the joint recess like their other pieces. The splash guard makes it a little tricky to fill. Glad I bought it, same with the 20-D, both excellent values. Sunshinestore rocks.

Awesome thank you for getting that one! I can't wait to read your review and see a video! Looks like I need to save a little more now
Also my tracking just updated for the nano planet rigs from Kathy and they are going to be at my PO Box in the morning!!!! It sat in San Fran again for 5 days again but no big deal. Expect a nice review tomorrow

Just so you guys know, I ordered 3 pieces and shipping was 45$ so just 10$ more than for 1 piece...just a thought. You have to contact him for combined shipping...

Anyone care to lend an eye or a brain? is this rig defunct? http://www.dhgate.com/product/hand-made-four-layer-tyre-perculator-glass/194217770.html#cppd-3-5|null:1
Cant tell if the draw tube is pinned on the bottom and used as a reinforcement or are both connections from the draw tube open?, if so this rig would not work ,correct? We have seen rigs before looking some what functional until you look closer.Any input welcomed, looked like a good piece for my vape(solo) throw an adapter on the male your good to go!

I just received the Pinnacle WT clone from SunshineStore/Mike's store on AliExpress (free shipping on AE, ~$30 shipping on DH), and I wanted to say : the piece I got looks and feels like it's of greater quality than the one pictured in the product description.
It has more slits and generally feels better made.
I was a bit afraid that this piece might look a bit cheap when viewing it on AE, but it actually looks great and sturdy !
Just wanted to post this as this piece seems to get some attention lately.
Edit: I just checked, and it looks exactly like the one on the DHgate product page.

This is what I'd really like to know. The video you linked shows the water level climbing pretty high so we might be okay in that regard and I had already considered that I would fill the water up a little higher since it does not have one of those defuser stems that evenly distributes the smoke below the honeycombs. That way the smoke doesn't climb up without going through the water (as I've seen some slosh and the smoke clears without going through water).
Thanks for your input.
Nah. We're ordering one piece to split. Not splitting a large order. I'll have to wait for the sidecar bubbler. :/

Both are open, but it'll still work as the water level prevents gas flowing up the lower opening. It's a recycler, but a boring one that doesn't even try to whirlpool. :c
And yes, the downstem would be stronger if braced, but the lack of brace doesn't affect function, just durability.
We pump smoke or vapour through water for two reasons; to moisten it for comfort (moisture conditioning), and to mix it for smoothness (diffusion). Not a lot of of either happens while the bubbles are traveling up through a water column, because the relative water pressure keeps the bubbles small and offers relatively less surface area to exchange water vapour into each bubble. The magic happens in the "stack", the column of foam and/or froth that forms above the perc. Here the bubbles are expanding (free from the water pressure), and are much larger than they are below the water column, offering much more surface area to exchange gas and thus pick up more water (vapour). The lower pressure only further enhances the efficiency of moisture pick-up, as does the presence of tiny droplets as well as bubble films at this point, further enhancing surface-area-to-volume ratio of the liquid in the can, so you can see why this stage is where most water is collected, and most moisture conditioning happens. Also, the bursting and shape-changing action of the bubbles in the stack makes them act as pumps actively squishing their contents around, diffusing the air and vapour droplet mix trapped within much more so than the much more uniform bubbles rising through the water column below the stack will. So again with diffusion, as with moisture conditioning, the stack is where most of the action happens. Do not fear the "slosh".
The spacing of the three honeycomb discs affects the total stack height the piece can make, but there'll also be a minimum draw rate that will allow the foam to climb to the highest disc level, and the closer the discs are together, the lower the speed at which you can draw and still get all three discs to fully fire. The further apart they are, the higher the possible total stack that can be formed spanning those discs (thus more potential diffusion/conditioning), but this higher stack will take more flow to maintain, and thus require more effort and a faster draw. Given that vapes tend to be more restrictive than smoking, you probably want closer discs because they'll give you more diffusion at a lower speed and with less effort. It won't stack as high on the clear but vape is much less harsh than smoke anyway so doesn't need a huge amount of conditioning.
Also, you don't need a pre-perc like that little stemline under a honeycomb to get the most out of it. The air void that forms under the disc will accomplish the distribution of air just fine. Not all the holes in a honeycomb will fire at once, even on a clear. The less aerated (or taller) the water column above a honeycomb, the fewer holes that fire as they block up with a combination of water surface tension and back-pressure. Such a pre-perc isn't totally useless; it'll slightly decrease the perceived drag at lower draw speeds (beause it's easier to pull an airier water mix through the small holes), but it'll also reduce the speed you can clear, and make the piece harder to clean, while adding cost and complexity. I have honeycombs with and without little stems under them and the performance is very similar. It's not a "feature" I'd be worried about, whether it was present or not.

Thank You
I agree it is a boring one, I would luv one that does have an awesome vortex like a Mothership Incycler or any real high end recylers I see by PHOTO-RIDER, his are off the chart!! But I cant afford,and the cheapie one that you helped me with just might be acceptable to me, it looks well built and good size for Solo,not too big,not too small and I enjoy the cntr intake,keeps things sitting securely,no tipping over and maybe a better flava over a standard non recylcer . I see the pendant recylcers and I have no use for them due to my hands being big and arthritic, I think they look awesome but not for me. Btoc has a Hitman funnel knock off but hopefully the other glass merchants we deal with will get them in as well at a better price,that one is going out for 76$$ IIRC ![:\](/i/s/hmm.gif "Hmm :\")
and hopefully we will find a test subject (dont want to call anyone a dummy, derogative towards the few members that do take one for the team
) This thread will nver die with all of us who are glass junkies, which I am guilty of, but in denial with pleasure

You can get the Hitman double barrel clone from Kathy too, for US$39 plus shipping, but shipping is free to the US, Aus, and probably a lot of other places too on that piece. Much cheaper than Btoc, so hopefully it's actually the same thing. I think people have received Kathy's version by now and given it the all-clear?
Also, I don't know that the one you asked about would conserve a lot of flavour compared to a conventional piece, as it has quite a large volume for a recycler. It seems to just use the return line for splash guard functionality only.

If I understood your last part then I want the pricier bong because the three discs will require more pull on the cheaper one.
Although there is one thing I should mention. This bong won't be used with a vape. We'll be using it with a nail and the bowl piece (we still combust occasionally).
Does that change things? Would the draw make the 'combs work in this instance? (no vape)
I'll bring it up to my cousin. It sounds like we'll want that pricier version.
Edit: Also it sounds like what I should have looked for is a percolator for defusion. I really like those honeycombs though so I think I'll stick with them.

@ou812? See the first quote. It looks like hopefully @ovrez picked up the hitman funnel knock off
And definitely not a DUMMY lol
but a wonderful person that will help us decide if this glass is going to help possibly cure our future GAS! @Anonymouse thank you for your post. That was one of the most informative and interesting things I have read all week. My knowledge continues to increase everyday because of this thread and site

i can say that out of all the sellers, IMO BTOC ships the fastest to me (Wa.),
and packs his glass bombproof,i will take pictures when the jh017 gets here
i am curious, how do all of you that communicate with the sellers?
i start off with
Hello, I hope all is good for you today
and end with
Thank You
Your Friend, Richard
plus i try to be friendly whatever i type.
where i work we sell our products TO china and the rest of the world.
and after talking to the guys that go over there, they say that to be very nice when communicating
goes a long way to making transactions easy
i am telling you all this as i did not pay full price for the jh017,
and when i use BTOC now i get a price break all the time
just shows it does pay to be nice

look at this one... it looks like a penetrated natural perc. Not sure who is getting copied on this one... http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/new-come-10mm-mini-glass-bong-mini-water/196103970.html

How would this perform against one of those mini 4-arm tree perc bubblers?
