So is the ad for 707 completely fake or are we looking at two different 707s?
http://www.dhgate.com/product/advance-booking-2015-new-high-quality-glass/218126546.html

and this is the 1000, right?
http://www.dhgate.com/product/2015-new-37cm-height-matrix-pillar-glass/237425255.html

I started looking at the videos and pics... it honestly only looks like the mouth piece is different, again unless that ad for the 707 is completely a copy/paste. Both have matrix percs, 8 pillars and female joints - plus both at 37cm height? I think I'm calming down.. lol. Please confirm.

Also I ordered last night and paid last night.. the other two I ordered only have "payment released" but the pillar is in 'process' but if it's just the mouth piece.. I really don't mind either.
My bad. I got the numbers mixed up with the 707 and mini pillar. Yes, the only difference is the neck. If you want to switch it, you probably can as long as he hasn't shipped yet. It's worth sending him a message. Worst case is he can't. But if you do it quickly, I don't doubt that you have a good shot at getting the 1000.

Do you have a link to this one?
I'm going to cut off all my mouth pieces and add male adapters!
The more I bring the glass blower the better.

Got some good news and some bad news.

First the bad news.

The honeycomb to 4 hole donut/egg? Arrived broken. I could tell that the joint support was cold welded like the first batch of Kathy eggs. No way it was going to hold up in shipping. It was packaged really well though. The piece itself looks awesome and the glass is decently thick. The honeycomb is right about the intake hole so it shouldn't have much of that natural chug that honeycomb pieces do. The base isn't super wide but since the joint is so close to the piece I think it might? Work with an e-nail. Going to contact the seller for either a replacement (if the joint weld issue gets fixed) or a refund.

On a brighter note EVERYONE NEEDS TO GO BUY THIS DOUBLE TREE PERC PIECE FROM YINGMIN. GB-194. 18mm female joint. All slits fire evenly. Insanely smooth pull. The joint weld is wayyyyy thicker than when I bought this same piece a while ago (maybe 1 year ago). 8 arms on the bottom, 12 on the top. 2 slits per arm. 40 slits total. And the best part is, the arms are welded to the bottom and aren't left open like most of the time :D

DHGate glass dabbing nails, a few questions:

Are any of you running these? Are they junk, doable, great?

Torch them till they glow?

Basically trying to decide if I should invest in a dabbing tool. I'm running a D020-X with a Bonjour torch and have a few Chinese nails sitting around from other purchases. Cracked 1 after 10 or so dabs.. it's still usable for the time being though.

I personally don't use them because glass nails just don't last long like you experienced (they also don't work with e-nails which is what I have been mainly using lately).

I recommend a quartz banger or a good usa made titanium nail (you won't have to worry about that ever breaking).

If you want some more glass nails let me know. I can ship you like 50 of them :cheers: That should last about a year :dog:

I used one for a bit and it worked ok. If I were you though I would pick up a cheap Chinese ceramic nail as I used one of those until I got my e-nail and it worked great. Or a cheap quartz banger.

Thanks for the info @BoogerMan, looks like I have some research to do. At the rate I'm going with my one instance of cracking, I'm probably good to go for a few weeks with nails on hand.

Thanks for the offer as well. I'm kind of buy once, cry once. So if I figure out that a $100-ish nail will last me 5 years, I'll go that route. If the DHGate nails suit my needs, I'll take you up on your offer. I'd pay you a fair price as well.

Edit: Thanks @weenstoned, didn't think of the ceramic. Will look into those as well.

I will send you as many as I have for free! They would go in the trash otherwise. Save your cash for a nice TI nail that will last you years :) I kept the glass nails for this exact situation. I was hoping someone would want a ton of glass nails one day. Send me a PM if you break the rest of yours and need some more :D

Nice setup!

I like turning my banger around 180* so I can watch the oil bubble up into vapor :) Makes for a good show :leaf::tup:

Thanks!

LOL me too but for the pic I took it like that so it was easy to see everything.

When I heat up the banger I see red flecks in it, should I be concerned? I have a honeycomb bubbler with a HMK ti swing and im not familiar with quartz nails at all.

How is it that a message board with the word "fuck"(combustion).com has a better community than one with the word "you"(tube).com?

I wondered the same thing. Here is how I see it.

IMO "fuck" is a way better word than "you" even though most of the time fuck is considered bad... :rofl:How is fuck bad? It is the best word ever! Specifically in our case because it is referencing beating the bad habit of confusing :D

But it can also be used to describe sooooo much! What other word can do that?

How Fuck can be used:

“Fuck” can be used as a verb, adverb, adjective, command, interjection, noun, and can logically be used as virtually any word in a sentence (e.g., “Fuck the fucking fuckers”). Moreover, it is one of the few words in the English language which could be applied as an infix (e.g., “Am I sexy? Absofuckinglutely!”; “Bullfuckingshit!”). It has various metaphorical meanings. The verb “to be fucked” can mean “to be cheated” (e.g., “I got fucked by a scam artist”), or alternatively, to be sexually penetrated. As a noun “a fuck” or “a fucker” may describe a contemptible person. “A fuck” may mean an act of copulation. The word can be used as an interjection, and its participle is sometimes used as a strong emphatic. The verb to fuck may be used transitively or intransitively, and it appears in compounds, including fuck off, fuck up, “fuck you”, and fuck with. In less explicit usages (but still regarded as vulgar), fuck or fuck with can mean to mess around, or to deal with unfairly or harshly. In a phrase such as “don’t give a fuck”, the word is the equivalent of “damn”, in the sense of something having little value. In “what the fuck!”, it serves merely as an intensive. If something is very abnormal or annoying “this is fucked up!” may be said.

I remember it as this, back in the late 90's: youtube link.

Funny story, I was involved in a sexual harassment investigation (as a witness, not the accused) many years back at a construction consulting firm. Asked about my use of the word "fuck" prolifically in an 8 hour work day, I simply responded that it was a "multi-syntaxual variable." The investigator smirked and all was good.

Sorry for the threadjack, I am high. Mods can deleted as needed.

here you go

It's from stevenlmz , how's his service been lately ?
I want to order 2 from him .
man Steven is a BEAST! The best around man. His shipping time is beyond belief. I actually got a box from him from china to USA only took 2 days - stuck at customs for a bit but DAMN 2 days from china to USA... and pretty much same day or next day shipping after order is placed.

I was freaking out about the FC-1000 after placing an order for the 707, thought the 1000 was better function but it was just a different neck style. Hit up steven and at first just wanted to get the 1000 but then decided either one is fine. He still responded and asked which one I would like... what a champ man. Just decided to go with the 707 because I really don't want to put so much stress on that neck piece + shipping that one safely seems a bit harder. He has always responded very quickly and his customer service is REALLY good. He will make sure you are a happy customer, great guy man.

I broke my FC-187 and really want another bubbler... Id love another FC-187... But im super impatient and dont really want to wait up to nearly a month to get it.

Any recommendations for a similar bubbler that ships from the states? Price range of 50-60 bucks or so.

Or in this price range is dhgate the only decent option?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I highly recommend Yingmins GB-194 that I just posted about a few hours ago. Awesome piece and is super smooth like the FC-187. It's a beast too. Nice and thick and large and in charge! 18mm female joint too.

I ordered it on 4/19, it shipped on 4/20, and I got it on 4/29.

You could also try the GB-187-S from Yingmin if you like sidecars. It's similar to the FC-187. Some people even like the mouthpiece more on the GB-187-S.

Kathy is also usually really fast. My last 2 orders have shipped within 2-3 days of ordering and have arrived within a week from shipping. So about 8-10 days total.

However, with any seller you may get unlucky and have a longer wait. I have had packages from both Kathy and Yingmin take 3 weeks before.

Thanks for the recommendation. I too have had great luck ordering from china the majority of the time.... But i have also gotten unlucky more than a couple too. But i still go that route when im not in a hurry. Trying to get something quickly now though.

I've bought some j-hooks from ThickAssGlass, pretty fast shipping. From PA I believe.


click image for product link ^

This is only $60, looks decent


Awesome. They are less than 20 miles from me!!! I wonder if they would let me just come pick something up... I will find out.

Thanks so much for the link!!
