Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Not that I'd dream of endorsing CCG (shipped me a broken piece, shipped replacement, broken again etc...) but that looks pretty sandblasted to me, not white. Also the mouthpiece of the CCG version looks way better (and longer) than the other design.

Looks sandblasted to me as well, you can see the green down stem through it... I wish that one had the logo etc blasted on the side... I like the straw length

Based on this post, I decided to try an order for glass with dhgate. I ordered on November 4th. I was excited to see it shipped with a tracking number the same day. It made it as far as the sort center at Hangzhou where it has been since Nov 6th. Three days ago, I contacted the vendors (sunshinestore) and ask. They said to just wait. This morning, my order was marked "shipped". When I went back to tracking it shows it still being held in the sort center in Hangzhou. I also checked the tracking number in USPS, which also showed it still being in the sort center in Hangzhou. I chatted with dhgate, who said I needed to ask the vender. I sent a message to the vender, but haven't heard back.

Not the biggest deal in the world, only $20 bucks, but it is very disappointing.

Any one else have something like this happen? Wondering if I should start a dispute? Or just chalk it up to lessons learned about dealing with Chinese venders?

I have ordered many times (5+ times) from sunshinestore with all very good experiences and fast shipping - they are one of the very few vendors I trust.

I ordered 3 glass pieces on October 22nd from 3 different vendors. Two of the items have long since arrived. My piece from SunShineStore has not arrived. Last update I have according to USPS.com tracking is "Processed Through Sort Facility" in Hangzhou. I have contacted SSS several times to ask WTF??

His response is exactly the same - blah blah, just wait.

I know there was some chinese holiday in late october for the APEC summit and there's currently a labor union "strike" in California (well it's not a strike, but it's a union sponsored "labor shortage" - they're slowing down processing at the ports). I don't know if either of these is the cause, but it seems a few of us are stuck in the same boat (maybe literally!)

Please keep us posted, this is the first time I've ever experienced this - I never had a piece "lost" from DHgate yet, so I don't think that's the case. But it's very strange that all updates have ceased since October 31st on my order!

The shitty part for me is that this was a birthday gift for a good friend, and his birthday is long since passed

I ordered a D022 piece , at SSS, we will see if it arrives broken ...@Ataxian says this piece is working with solo and enano very well and i want it months ago but i was thinking this piece wasn't for me and finally i will have, i really like the pieces i've got, D020, D020-D and GB-236 ( Kathy recycler ) and in next days the D022,
each day i get one and use it and each time is a different moment and i like the way i take with it. Each moment is like take the tool that you need. Im thinking in my next piece!! Will be a sidecar i think

Thanks Ratchett. Seems we are both in the same predicament. Wasn't aware of all the global circumstances. It explains a lot. I'm guessing if we're both experiencing the delay, others are as well. FWIW, it seems my order is hung up exactly where yours is.

Anyone else order from the Sunshine Super Store around that time? (Oct22-Nov4). Did you get your orders?

I will finally be receiving an order which was shipped Nov 1 sometime this week. The tracking didn't update until three weeks in which is longer than it has ever taken (pretty sure 17 days from being shipped is the longest it has taken prior and was usually under 2 weeks). I had thought that maybe I was given a fake tracking number but a couple of days after messaging the vendor the tracking finally updated. Have also previously had packages not update until they were in my town and would be delivered the next day.

So I'm considering buying a piece to make into a rig but am kinda overwhelmed with the options.

I like the GB-186-1, GB-236, and GB-187-1. I'm unsure though if a 14mm/18mm male titanium nail that my friend will be giving me will fit on these pieces because they say the joint size is a strange 19mm.

I'm also skeptical about the recyclers here but if anyone can recommend some good pieces for an oil rig I'd appreciate it!.

Skip the recyclers for your first glass.

You have several good choices.

The 187 and the 186 are very similar. The 186 has more diffusion - it will produce a smoother hit with less flavor.

I personally say start with the GB-187, if it's too harsh (doubtful) then trade/sell it to a friend (I'm sure someone would be more than happy to take it off your hands), and upgrade to the GB-186.

I got my order from CCG today, small crack in the weld in the mouthpiece but otherwise fine. It did take forever but I did eventually get the piece I paid for plus 2 weed pipes and 2 shit pipes (Those are more of a hassle than a gift) and they included a female flower bowl, 2 domes (one is the slanted knock of grav labs dome, kind of funny) and a glass nail. While I'm not thrilled with the experience I am going to order some of those other pieces from CCG.


You guys see evol throw a bitch fit about china copying the dabbaccino cups? Lol, it's on his Instagram, I can't link from my apple shit phone

@turdhole I wouldn't call evols post a "bitch fit" at all. It's a very resonable response, lacking all the usual whining and grandeur we see in this business. Making your customers aware of a 1:1 clone of your product makes perfect sense to me. Reading his post, he seems to be pissed that his brand and logo is getting used, not because somebody else made a cup.

We love our community and support other artists exploring the mystery of glass. Being inspired from an idea or form is something we have done as pipe makers for decades. We push each other and create new original designs in turn. With this case we have a company not exploring but outright copying something so far as that collectors have purchased these thinking they were made by us. We are literally under attack by a China manufacturing plant and they are even now selling our exact hat pins on Alibaba, printing the actual #Dabuccino font on the cup, using the actual remix logo design of ours as well. Now, I'm not complaining as we are doing great with much thanks to you all. Our order list is long no doubt. To note; we are not the first to make a cup rig, not the first to use a known logo. We do have an original name and a brand that collectors know as ours. I'm pointing out that there are fakes floating around so check for an authenticity card and if needed can contact myself or @daborahevol. If anyone is still wondering, our studio is very small, Deb and I work on every piece. No production facility here. Each piece is individually blown by me and sandblasted by her. Thank you for the understanding and support. The fakes are ultimately flattering and you all should be encouraged knowing a couple stoners can change the world. Much love all.



Good luck with your future CCG purchases!

I bought a little bubbler just to see the quality and was pleasantly surprised. I think I'm going to order more and noticed the their ti nails are cheap too. What does everyone think about the Chinese titanium? Do you think it can be trusted? Thanks for any info!
