On the subject of buying multiple rigs, FWIW Sunshine has 100 of the D022 made. I hope he sells them all. I think he has been the most reliable, I used to deal w/Kathy in the past but I have noticed a lapse of communication from her.
I have asked numerous times about the double inline rig that appears to have open end percs.I asked her to take a look ,she replied OK will do. Waited a few days (4) and hit her up again on what the status was and no reply, waited again and asked for the 3rd time and never heard from her again. Crummy way to treat a returning customer.
Mike Lee steps up and communicates well, ships at warp speed, has now been making function vids and keeps numbers low for the time being.I would rather support some one like him who WANTS your biz, not one that makes a weak effort at satisfying their customers. Lee seems really motivated at single sales and Im sure he sells large lots also,so this guy knows how to run and gun with out a doubt

Kathy IMO is a bit unreliable and not able to manage her customers wants,to each his/her own on using her, S.S has most of anything you need and if he doesnt he seems amiable to try to get it for his customers. Yingman5 seems to know how to manipulate, and thats a part of doing biz with the import mkts I guess. As one poster had mentioned,"surprised most of us have had a pleasant experience", and for the most part we have been pretty happy with the merchants who have been relieving our GAS pains.

I cant make anyone do a thing but may I suggest to try not to cave to the higher prices,Im sure these vendors will move like a stadium wave to higher prices if we start buying them.It will be a domino reaction and one day you'll click on and all import glass will be 70+ dollars for what we were buying for 28-35 bucks.

Then for the most part I for one will look at USA glass. The run of China glass will be a thing of the past once it starts moving in an area of comparable numbers to USA glass, well at least for me. Great artists like @Jhan Pixel, the 2 new glowers who have been pumping out the recyclers will get some of my coin,I would imagine they can blow some nice vapor or dabber rigs. We shall see. Lets hope our biz contacts do monitor these forums and see we are your demand and if you should mess with the numbers on the supply side, oh well ,hope they have use for a lot of glass paper weights.......:lmao:

Considerjng how many china pieces ive seen in literally every lhs ive been in, id say we really dont have much buying power. The markup is so insane and im sure way more people go in thinking holy shit thats way cheaper than the name brand stuff. We are lucky and thats it. Get it while it lasts.

I too am opposed to higher prices.

That being said I would like to remind everyone here how lucky we are to have found these affordable pieces available in singles through these reliable sellers.

There is a HUGE population of smokers in the market for glass who are unaware of DHgate. Take a second and go on Instagram and search for #glassforsale and I guarantee that you will see a few sellers offering and selling these pieces for triple and quadruple price all day long.

They are even doing live auctions on there. Just last week I saw the mini inline to triple donut and the current high bid was at $115! That rig sells for $25 shipped! I was so disgusting by it that I made a comment that it was a lot to pay for a $25 rig and included sunshine store link. It was awesome seeing how many people retracted their bid and tagged their friends to see what I had done. I am sure the seller hates me but fuck them, they are lucky I don't do that every day.

I wish I had taken a screen shot to post because the seller removed that entire posting. By the next day there was already a bunch of new overpriced listings and auctions in progress with other poor smokers getting dooped

All of you are hitting the nail on the head. I guess for us, we will always be slightly a head the game. We can migrate to North American glass when it gets ridiculous. Most of the younger posters will be like me (an old fart) by saying ,damn remember when we used to buy Import glass for 25 bucks:myday: . I will admit, I think I will always be attracted to glass but as of lately I have been looking at some of it and feel with the scientific stuff,it goes to a level where you try to own as many diff percs and styles (bent neck, straight tube, side car, dewar style bubbs, mini's) and as of this moment Im thinking OK get the recylers and for myself I think Im done or at least rehab will make me think that way:rolleyes:.Then I guess the recycler thing will kick it up and there being diff styles with diff percs I could stay addicted in that area of glass. aaaahhhh nucking futs:mental:

But I have now 16 rigs,goes up 2-3 a month or sometimes more and I understand the bro's who are into worked and heady art. Its art and those guys use glass as their canvas.Some of @photoriders rigs are just mind blowing,we are talking some serious artists I DONT CARE WHAT COMMUNITY OF ART SNOBS THERE ARE, THOSE DUDES HAVE KILLER SKILL SETS AND ARE WITH OUT A DOUBT VERY TALENTED ARTISTS,with that glass there is no end in sight,but in the import mkt glass,Im soon coming to an end or I should say, getting bored and although even if you get up to an easy 1000$ worth of import glass,its but a drop in the bucket compared to buying the originals. I guess the import blowers will eventually get really good at producing knock-offs,we may be buying $100 dollar pieces with the quality of the $500 originals, and then my GAS addiction will be awakened and the cycle starts all over again..........and again...............:freak:

I want to get a Claisen adapter. Will this one work? It is 19/26 and I have a D020 19mm I think. http://www.ebay.com/itm/19-26-Three...661?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d13c32fd5

Yes, I have the same one - I like it because I can place my vape on the female directly above the male joint - this helps with the center of gravity - the coolest part about this design is that the vapor won't travel the whole way up the other side - it's cool to watch the vapor dance in the middle of the claisen when you're milking the vape

I don't see why not. What vape are you using, the nano?

The second number (26) is the length (in millimeters) of the joint, so worse case is you will start getting some resin built up on the ground glass surface. And because of the resin, sticking could be an issue if you switch between different length GG.

Just received this from Kathy today, and I also got the D020-2-W from Mike recently.
Both ordered the same day, the D020-2-W came in about 7-8 days and the order from Kathy in 20 days, both orders shipping with China Post to France.

The packaging was great for both, and the quality of the products is the about same, 2-3 minor scratches and a few tiny bubbles, but well made and very functional pieces.

From my recent experience, I get the orders from SunshineStore in under 10 days, and the ones from Kathy in about 3-4 weeks, the quality of the items being about the same from both vendors.

I may post pics of the piece from Kathy later, it's bigger than I expected but it pairs really well with a Solo.


Edit: forgot why I was here in the first place :
I am looking for a piece with a large volume and the biggest possible diffusion (can be straight neck, best if bent). It's obviously not for vaping but if you guys have pieces in mind, that would be cool to share them (otherwise I'm already browsing DHgate).

*****Caution*****
It has come to my attention that a member is starting a group buy for a popular bubbler from Yingmin5. This member has been mentioned in the negative feedback, and hasn't even felt the need to tell his/her side of the story. I'm not saying this member is evil, I just know if my credibility was attacked, I would defend my honor and not hide or ignore my duties. Maybe this member is trying to make ammends? Truth is, we have no clue. However one longtime member has been done wrong by this person. So please be careful and keep this community safe.​

I find that when you come across a reliable and trustworthy vendor it is worth sticking with them. I try to be mellow but I tend to become enraged when people lie and/or mess with me financially. I will still try new vendors but i really love Sunshine Store. They are so consistent and I value that highly.

This describes exactly the way I feel. I woke up a few minutes ago, and was about to post something similar. Thank you @Mr. Gweilo 420 for posting it.

so apparenly the 186 and 187 are sold out even though they are both listed as available in lots. so im not sure how they can be ordered unless that is why the processing time is 50 days. yingmin said IF he gets them back in stock he will let me know. i am aware that another member was told something similar

So here are the pictures of this piece, paired with a Solo :

The "can" is slightly smaller than the Solo in diameter, and provides a tight grip when holding the bubbler (see spoiler).

I've just tried it and I like it a lot. Good for flavor since there is little diffusion, and great for using it as a "portable" bubbler while walking around the house.
Might become my travel piece as well. I bought the hydratube knockoff as a travel piece, but I don't really like it.

Also, it's $17 shipped...

Help guys I'm trying to use my coupon code. It shows the coupon as "available", not "used" in myDhgate. But, at checkout, it does not automatically apply the coupon. When I try to enter the coupon code, it says "that coupon code has already been used". My cart balance is $57 spread over two vendors. Help, thanks.

Literally just had the same problem. Only thing I can think of: My total was $65 including shipping, less than $50 without shipping. Same vendor.

Does your cart balance include the shipping as well? I'm suspecting that may be the problem on my end.

I tried it yesterday, coupon was no go. I accidentally placed an order too.

Has anybody got the coupon to work?

Yes, you have to select the coupon. Mine did the same and I kept putting the code in, however the coupon was there the whole time. Once I clicked it it automatically took my price down ten dollars, then I purchased. Went with Alina b/c it was either that or Kathy and my last purchase wasn't great with Kathy. Would have loved to use SSS or CCG but the shipping isn't included and also for the coupon it's all about item price and not shipping. A bit confusing but two rigs from Alina for $40 I'm stoked!

Edit- click or touch where it says $10 in green...

To be clear about the coupon : I put an item of $50+ (excluding shipping) in my cart, I go to checkout, I click "Proceed to Payment" and then I will be able to enter the coupon ?

Basically I must place the order before I'm able to see if I can use the coupon ?

Yes and Yes. However it doesn't have to be one item, it can be multiple items/vendors, the kicker is the shipping excluded from the coupon. So it's possibly not as good of a deal through some vendors.

Alright, I was unsure about how it worked so I wanted to avoid placing an actual order for a $30 item + $20 shipping (from SunshineStore) only to figure out that the $50 minimum is excluding shipping.

I guess I'll have to go with Kathy (same item for $50 with almost free shipping). Too bad, it would have been nice to receive it faster with SunshineStore.

Thanks SSVUN-YAH. Sunshine order with the shipping appears to be the problem for me. I'll try again in the next few days once I've had time to think over another piece to add to my order.

EDIT: to add that I went ahead and cancelled my order and will have to start over again. i.e. It appears that I couldn't add to the order (to break the $50 barrier) because "confirmation of order" comes before "payment of order" in China. Fuck me, I didn't know that.
