@Snappo that looks like a triple vortex, no honeycomb. Is that right?

We'd love a function video :)

Correct! Triple vortex. Don't know why they say "Honeycomb". Won't be able to make a vid any time soon - my camera vid isn't working right. Need to exchange my phone for a new model.

If you have the D020-W and just can't stand the small orificed mouthpiece, it can be corrected!!

Was getting ready to use it and just waiting for the rinse to drain out was killing me. So... finally took a torch to it. Nothing too fancy - there's no glass blower's shop here. Heated the hole up to red all the way around with my Benzomatic butane torch. Heated an awl, stuck it in the red hot hole and gently worked the hole more open. It opened very slowly (think more heat would be better, but that's all I had on hand). Trick is to try to keep the whole hole red hot and the tool nearly red hot, too. If the tool isn't hot enough it will steal the heat from the glass.

After a few minutes it looks to be twice as big as it was. Not gorgeous glasswork, but not too bad for a first attempt if I may say so myself! Cooling now. Will clean and give her a run.

Really psyched this worked! I have two of these, and this was the more open of the two. The other one (that resides elsewhere) is really small, but not for long! :tup:

For those of you brave enough (or is that stupid enough?) to try this, WEAR LONG SLEEVES AND SAFETY GLASSES just in case. I heated it pretty slowly and made sure my tool was hot before touching it and had no issues. But, that's not to say it couldn't have exploded spraying hot glass all over me and my kitchen.

awww it looks like I waited too long on that yellow wig wag inline bub,looks like it went up another $10... oh well, it was one that had my eye, but hesitated at the $35 mark, now it's just gone up more. So if you have been on the fence on a piece, prices seem to go up as sales grow so hesitation could cost. If I manage to win my dispute with Kathy over that funky 10mm joint, then I might still consider grabbing it up, but it's moved further down my list of must haves. Not sure why I am so attracted to a piece that won't hold it'self up.

No wife to worry about here, but the dog sure was giving me some fully looks!

Thought about taking a before pic, but was too much in a hurry to do it once I made up my mind. Will on the next one for sure. After pic coming soon. Vid? Sorry, but doubt it. Was hairy enough without worrying about a camera.:uhoh:

Just pulled the trigger on this baby:
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/175mm-height-tyre-perc-wax-oil-use-glass/198032150.htm
Can't figure out how to nab the pic on my ipad, but its a matrix-y barrel-y stemline-y thing :)

Just got part of my sunshine store order in - paid on the 17th, received on the 22nd...
That's 5 days including the weekend. I sometimes don't get domestic shipping that quick :lol:

In came the virus rig, the D020-2--W, and a boatload of keck clips.
I thought the "lot" of keck clips was 10 clips, but I misread somewhere and its actually 30, so I'm sittin on 30 14mm and 30 18mm keck clips :lol:

I'm thinking of getting some cheap fem-fem adapters and just clipping them on to all my DI rigs semi-permanently :D

As for the pieces - the D020-2--W is a lil bit smaller than I expected, but looks nice.
After a quick water test I'm very happy with the function.
The turbine acts as a perfect splash guard. Doesn't add too much spin to the bubbles (no vortex :() but adds enough of a spin to stop any splashing up into the mouthpiece.

The virus rig is basically the same size as the D020-2--W. I was expecting it to be much smaller, maybe 1/2 the size it is.
I'm super stoked that its bigger, I thought for sure it was gonna be a pretty micro rig with a 14mm male joint from the pics, but its got a 18mm male joint, and I quite like the size of It :)

The showerhead perc looks cheap (the slits look kinda thin, though that may help the diffusion), the slits aren't flame polished, and look a lil crooked, but the perc itself seems to be nice and centred and I'm quite happy with the function after a quick water test.
EDIT: its got 6 slits.

I can actually see myself using the virus rig pretty often paired up with an oil pen :brow:

As for the items missed, I didn't get the mini inline to triple donut piece, or the domeless TI nail, so I'm contacting them about it now.
My order was a bit complicated because the system split it into 2 orders and I was arranging discounted shipping, so I assume it just got forgotten.
Hopefully it gets all sorted :)

Pics to come in a day or 2 :)

Edit:
Got some cheap mini slick balls in too :)
20 of em (plus a couple of little freebie items) for under $20

i think this aspect of it is under appreciated. they're no question just throwing everything possible at the wall and seeing what sticks.

what they really need to do is hire some god damn stoners to tell them what needs to get made and what needs to not have glass wasted on it

Also, keep in mind these manufacturers are serving a global market. Some of what appears strange, even dysfunctional, to us might be well suited for consumption of other herbs and drugs - tobacco, cocaine, khat, speed, DMT, designer drugs, opiates -- who knows? If a design persists in their product line, it presumably is selling.

True, but some designs are also clearly non functional to the point of being laughable.

Sure, there's all the crack-pipe-y stuff they've got for other drugs, but no matter what drug you're consuming, at the end of the day a bong is just to water condition whatever gas you're trying to inhale, and some of their designs simply wouldn't allow you any decent kind of water filtration without having to inhale a whole bunch of water with it.

Nope.
Different can,
Different base
Different neck
Different perc.

I'd have to measure them, but the can seems to be a slightly larger diameter.

The base is a slightly flared hollow foot (bell shaped kinda?) vs solid foot base of D020.

Neck has slightly different shape, and the mouthpiece is very different.

The perc is a 6 slit showerhead vs the 10 angled slit oversized showerhead of the D020.

Also, it's 18mm DI vs 18mm dewaar on the D020.
