Looks sturdy.

Nice find.

Here is another angle to see that MP brace. Would it even help take some stress from the joint @ the can?

My favorite piece! The function and aesthetics are flawless! 23$!

Is there a water test on this one anywhere? Looks interesting. I'm having a little trouble sizing it even with the image of your glass table. I think it may be smaller than it appears. Glass does look nice and thick.

It says it is 20 cm That is actually taller than the D020-2-w that I was told is 19cm tall .
It does not look like it . Any other reviews on this one ?

I still don't have video making skills. Will learn. But I will say that its too small for a vape through imo. Perfect for oil. I could take a pic with a bic next to it in the meantime if that helps? Sorry about image quality. In a hurry today

The bic and the nano did it for me, thanks. And I agree, a little too small for flowers. I may well end up getting the D022 after all, but I just ordered another AC for my j-hook, so all is well for now. ;)

Just received my D020-D from @FUnhouse !
It came in bombproof packaging, and perfect condition.

This is my first Cheap Glass and fuck am I impressed! Thanks for all who gave input in here, without y'all I would have never been turned onto this piece (my first matrix perc!!!).

Great impressions so far. As advised previously in this thread, filling up to just above the perc. I also find it fires great even if slightly below the top of the perc.

Also- this som mo ma bitch is a lot thicker and heavier than I anticipated. It is downright stout, and I hate to admit, much more stable than my Sheldon Black Travel piece. I am going to take some comparative pics later to show the difference in size, I expected the D020 to be even smaller so it was a pleasant surprise to see they probably have about the same volume.


Much more testing to do! For scientific purposes of course;)

I have some adapters in the mail, and I should be paired up with more vapes come this weekend (Lotus Hammer Nano), but for now I am just using the D020 with concentrates... I think that is going to change as soon as adapter some in, and will use the SB piece from then on exclusively with concentrates- this can only be determined with further experimentation:science:

Yeah @DieHard but an all glass air path. Pretty much just a glass U with a joint on one side. Joint side goes in water pipe and oil pen is held under the other side

Is it that simple (no pun inteded)? If so I'm stopping for some SG on the way home.

I have some Mean Green, looks like the main ingredient is the same, if that is what does most the work: 2‐butoxyethanol

Yep. I splashed some Simple Green into a bucket, added hot water, and then.. err, spaced it for a few days (roughly a 1 to 15-20 ratio).

Went to pull it out, noticed some black ink on my hand, and then it dawned on me. Took a sponge to it and within seconds the last remnants of the logo were gone.

I normally soak my pieces in PBW for a few hours on Saturdays. This had no effect on the logo. Decided to try SG, and now I have a very clean looking piece without the silly logo.

I'm going to do the same to my GB-189, so I'll post back exact measurements and time needed for the soak if I can. The above was literally an accident..

Lastly, I said it last week, but whomever recommended putting Vegetable Oil (I used Peanut Oil) on the GonG where it inserts into the dewar joint: Thank you. This has made my life much easier.

Good story! @nihil
When I have a piece with some lame logo I remove it with ZEP from HOME DEPOT.
I clean most of my glass with pbw!
You don't have to do this however I dip my glass in citrus juice before a reverse osmosis rise.
Your right to take off the silly logos some companies put on their product!

Whatever works!

I could use some help narrowing down my options.

I'd like a bubbler to accompany my E-Nano.

Needs:
-No Drag
-Low Diffusion
-Durable
-Doesn't have E-Nano or Lotus in my face

I'd also like a fairly tall neck. This will be used for my personal vaping and some combusting when friends are over.

Kathy's recycler seems nice, but I'm concerned about how thin the glass is and how violent diffusion is. The GB-229 could work, how is the drag? The GB-228 might also, but I don't like how low the neck is.

I'm also thinking about the YQ-42. I like its height, I like the straight neck, and I like the ice catcher (even if it's a little too low). I'm worried about flavor loss and drag. Can anyone weigh in on that?

Worst case scenario I will fall back on the D020-D or D022. I'll probably be able to get used to it, but I'm mostly interested in learning more about the YQ-42. Any thought on any of those pieces would be greatly appreciated.

I have the YQ-42 and it has been one of my favourite pieces. Love using it with my lotus. It's at the perfect height to easily see and has enough diffusion to make It nice and smooth without taking away to much flavour. There is a little drag but nothing to extreme.

who's seen a claisen like this?http://www.ebay.com/itm/Three-Way-A...429?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c34324e8d I love it. Can easily use a finger as carb cap over the side male joint or use a low volume boiling flask as a carb cap(5.50$ on eBayhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/Labglass-Gl...963?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c64bb2f4b ) it works great for hydrotubes too.. More pics to follow

as promised here's a hydrotube shot with my new claisen, it works great with anything!

and to who asked about the nail: eBay is where I get all my nails(7 now? Way too many lol)

Welcome to the world of cheap glass. You will find it very different, and quite fun. Much less fear of pulling the trigger, and no anxiety handing it off to a well medicated buddy for that monster hit. :)

Sounds good. That's almost certainly what I'll get when my Haze refund happens.

Anyone have any experience with these two from Kathy's stable? Any comparison experience between themselves or the YQ-42?

I've heard very little about the first one. Is that a 14mm or 19mm female? I've heard the second one gets pretty violent, have there been any durability concerns? I'm thinking about grabing the YQ-42 and a smaller bubbler. I'd still like to find something with no drag and as little diffusion as possible, but it seems all the sturdier specimens have multiple diffusers or the vape in my face.

That first one's more of an ashcatcher that can be used stand-alone or with something like the yq-42, the second one's a recycler. So none of these are really comparable with another, apples oranges and all that.

Oh, that's why the first one looks so hack-y. I know the second one is a recycler, but my points about flavor loss and drag are still entirely relevant to it.

Same question also applies to the GB-227 and 228. I'm looking for the cheap glass with the most effortless draw and the most flavor. I'll almost definitely get a YQ-42, so I'm now looking for something smaller and cheaper.
