My tracking info was saying " package departed Hazelwood,MO this morning. Imagine my surprise when I came home to find it today. Ordered on 8/17.
The bubbler is very clean with no glaring defects.(other than that I ordered 18mm and got 14mm.). The perc has some drag until it gets going. The inverted shower head within a shower head provides a surprising amount of action for a small amount of water. I will post up some videos tomorrow.

This little Ash Catcher is actually a recycler! It could be a little off balance due to a lot of the weight on one side.

Perc looks good slits are flame polished. Both inlets to the can are good size.

I will have to do some extended testing on the Ceramic nail.

Finally received my glassware, it's my first china pieces and I must say I'm incredibly impressed. The YQ-42 is so thick, I don't think anybody would see it and say 'hey is that china glass' unless they frequent this forum lol
right? the things so thick it would the first thing i grabbed if someone broke into my place :goon:

I hope that ceramic nails alright I have a female version on the way.
When you do your vid could do a quick one on the ash catcher, it's on my DH wish list atm, was thinking of pairing it with something like this

Question for @dandan321 and @Rrose Selavy.
Where did you purchase your YQ-42? I see it at Sunshinestore, and Kathy.
SSS has it for around $52.00, while Kathy for $59.00, I guess because it includes a Ti nail.
I have no idea whether it is the same piece or not, because Kathy advertise it as 7mm, while SSS at 5mm.
I don't really care for the Ti nail, and really don't want to deal with Kathy again.
Could you please tell me where did you get yours?
Links to both pieces below.
Thank you.

I just got my YQ-42 from Kathy - I had a mate who wanted a nail, so he got that, and Kathy's price included shipping, so I was able to use my $10 off coupon on it.

Sunshine stores one is listed with the shipping separate, so I wouldn't've been able to use the coupon through sunshinestore.

But, is it the same thickness?

D020-D arrived from SSS, some flaws on the perc and slightly off axis, if you look closely you can also see the mouth piece is joint at different heights on the can and the perc is a little higher up in one.. asides from that it's hard to really tell the difference. function wise it has nothing on the mobius ion (obviously) and personally i even think yingmin5's is a little better (which it should be because extra band on the perc and slightly higher price). These d020-d's chug a little too much for my liking i'm sort of just considering it more of a blend of a reti-ion and a matrix-ion because that's how it feels function wise.

For the price I can't complain. Fast shipping and shipped in lots and lots of bubble wrap

No idea... :shrug:
I only have the Kathy version - and I'm quite happy with it.

I honestly doubt either of them are more than 5mm, but I can't even think of a way to reliably check without using calipers or something...

I mean, sure it's worth $60 when compared to American pieces, but for china stuff I'd rather drop the cash on a GB-186 (if it was still available), GB-187, or D020-D first.

The honeycomb section isn't the best functioning section as there isn't enough room for the bubbles before they just get sucked up to the matrix section.

The matrix section works pretty well, though not as smooth and drag free as most matrix pieces.

If you want a collection of a few styles of pieces - go for it.
If you just want 1-2 main daily drivers, I'd be a bit more hesitant...

Hope that helped?

It sure did,
I already own the GB-187, and pretty much I was looking to mate this piece with a HI, with a cork tube, which it is pretty long once you put it all together, I like the height of the tube for that purpose.
I probably go with the SSS one, since my last experience with Kathy wasn't too pleasant.
Thanks @Frederick McGuire for taking the time to answer.

If the hi setup is pretty tall, You may need a claisen or angle adapter for some clearance.

I've been using my LSV with a male-male adapter As a WPA, and i needed to use my cloud buddy to give me a bit more space between my face and the LSV. (It always makes me laugh when the cost of the adapters is more than the cost of the rig they're sitting in.)

Hi folks,

Do anyone know what size of Gong i need to fit on this hammer? 14 or 18mm gong?

http://www.dhgate.com/product/new-4-arm-perc-glass-percolator-glass-hammer/183729594.html

Have seen some good reviews from this little piece with the solo..do you guys think its much more different from the d-020 ones?

What i like on the hammer is the fact that its more portable and you can shelve it easily. Its a little bit more stealthy.

Do you guys think its a good choice to use with the solo or should i get a d-020 or d-020-2w..It will be my first pipe to use with the solo.

Another question: is a water pipe in combination with a vape a real improovement for our health?

Thx a lot for your help!

Best regards!

After experimenting with my new glass I've learned the following

D020-2S - Great for flowers and dabs, just the right amount of drag and diffusion for smoking. Absolutely horrendous for vaping with the EVO, the drag was unbearable

YQ-42 Great for smoking and vaping, barely any drag at all. Awesome piece

Damn so anyone got another link on a equivalent this for less than $120? Seems like a 30-50$ dhgate purchase, but the swiss perc calls to my collection. Otherwise I'd snap on that YQ-42, but I can't see it replacing my toro hex-13arm.

My advice- get the 14mm gong adapter for your vape: it will be more adaptable for future purchases. Also get a lowpro 18-14mm reducer in case the hammer bubbler is a 18mm (My personal guess is that it is 18mm female). Then you're covered for this and future purchases, and the adapters are cheap af on these shops. Only other thing I could say is that I would probably recommend http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/new-glass-hammer-bubblers-blue-color/198086601.html over the one you linked. It's an easier perc for them to place IMO and has a circ percs have a pretty controllable water bounce back (i.e. a 4 [2?] arm perc in a small hammer might require you to angle it pretty weirdly to get a good hit + not get water in your mouth).

To your second question: versus combustion- absolutely! I'm lazy but there's an image of water that had different types of cannabis smoke put through it like vapor, combustion, combustion + water, etc. And the vapor was a huge difference (nearly a clear water bottle versus a nearly black water bottle from smoking). Between using a water path and not, it is mostly easier on your lungs when the vapor is cooled via water, so healthier in that you might not cough as much, but internally roughly similar afaik.

Got my Kathy Recyler today, it vortexes if you get the right draw speed down. But hit it just a bit harder than that and you suck water in.

Still trying to figure out the proper water levels:

Mtn Dew can for scale (click for full res)

Much smaller than I had anticipated. Kathy sent me an extra 14f/18f adapter as she promised. She told me the truth when I sent her a message (about the delay), so I forgive the long shipping time, :D.

As I mentioned above, she also sent me an adapter for my 420 bubbler. It fucking rocks with the e-nano on top. It hit so hard that I had to take a second to catch my breath, that hasn't happened with any bubbler + nano that I've used yet. This thing is silent and deadly.

Can't wait to get a proper JoDa GonG, :rockon:

Man if they only put the ratchet perc higher up and made the recycling chamber bigger that would be one of the best China pieces available!

Maybe they will get it down one day ;)

@Dangus I'm loving that 4 perc piece from CCG! Thanks for posting! Can't wait to see a vid of this.

Who's gonna be the first buyer?? :D
