Cheap High Quality Bubbler

That shit really grinds my gears!! They shouldn't have sent that shit!!!

Looks like Jane agreed, I kept telling her how bad the function was as well and she agreed to send another piece. Will keep everyone posted. We need to hold them to a high standard and let them understand they are wasting their own money sending out stuff like this!

Lol @ that Dino.... I'm curious about about those ball rigs tho. Might pick one up for my brother on his bday if the function is real nice.
just don't get the colored one it has a different perc clear looks like it functions nice just wish it was 18mm for that price

How's that different from mothership or other copies?
Art is art... functional, prodo glass is just that and i don't care if it gets copied. It's the same made here as china. I guess the dinos are ok to be copied, because they are basically prodo glass at this point, but this could mean they'll try and copy some actual art, and make 1000 copies of it. Then the one owner here in america, who had a 1 of a kind piece at one point but accidentally posted it online too many times suddenly has 1 of thousands. I was looking at brontos today, you can't imitate that. Have you ever seen one in person? The people who own these would be the laughing stock of the circle anyway. People already bought them though. I'd be happy if someone brought a chinese fab egg to the sesh. I might refuse to hit off a fake dino though. Even when i think elbo might be a little over rated.
I think there's a line on what should be copied.. but i'm not in Cleanclearglass's home office, and people are buying the shit out of it so i am the only one who feels this way apparently..

I just think that it rarely reaches the same level of quality so it probably shouldn't bother the person who owns the original. Also I think the same level of creativity/artistry (if not more) is required to come up with a fab egg or a diffusion pump compared to a dino. I have not seen a dino irl, nor am I going to buy the copy, but it just seems ridiculous to get mad about some counterfeiting and not others.

It dosn't reach the same level of quality at all, lol, the neck on the dino they posted made me laugh. Real dinos might actually deserve the price. They're gorgeous. You're right though, about the build quality and the level of skill and creativity to make some pieces too. I'm not mad, i just can't even believe it. I thought they would only copy the scientific clear glass. I fear for what might come. I mean, what if they get better blowers, and we have "heady chinese glass"... I just don't like the idea of someone buying a chinese bubbletrap copy, or chinese rettis... That almost scares me. I hate overpriced american pieces, but there is a small market of cheap, well made, neat little pieces when you walk into big headshops. All made local, which explains why their so cheap. I'd hate to see that go away and be replaced with pieces from china, marked up the same way.

Yes dude! Get a straight fab you'll enjoy it, promise.

I wouldn't mind a 14mm torus if it is the one that vortexes and I'd want a 9" I don't like big rigs for concentrate. Did anyone notice that the perc on the first torus looks like it has less slits than the second torus in the video?

I pulled the trigger on it! The splash back question was holding me off. Already itchin for it to get here haha

Im right there with you on the size of the Torus. Only thing that concerns me now is if it'll function the same proper way with a nail/bowl correctly inserted?..

And yeah now that you mentioned it i noticed the difference in number of slits.. Hmm.. :hmm: maybe because the size/width of the 12" is wider but dont quote me on that..

Just wanted to throw an update out there -

Sunshinestore and Yingmin5 are both sending me a replacement, free of charge (D020 and GB-187). HymanQuartz responded quickly and said he'd do the same if I could send a picture that shows the hole, which is fair enough. The joint is so sloppy that I'm actually not sure that I can get it to show in a picture, but meh.

Try sticking something in the hole. I had a hole in a Steven piece and I put a toothpick in it for the pictures.

They are getting sloppy. And the fucking Counterfeit logos are total :puke:. I'm finished experimenting with China glass. I definately was able to find what I like for relatively small money. My En4cer is now my driver. My 710 is in the rotation but eventually I will have the real thing. I will probably thin the flock a bit and keep a few faves' tail I get real counterparts to the China pieces.

I am unfortunately with you on that one. There was a point where I had high hopes because there was so much potential. But now the savings no longer outweigh the stress and time with the issues I've had. No one seems to be giving a damn about QC.

I'll third that. I'm now building up an American glass collection now that I know what I like and want. Though I'm still hesitant to drop over $500 tho. And my En4cer was a deal I couldn't pass up. I don't think I've used a China piece since besides my straight fab, that will soon be replaced with a custom worked straight fab from an American blower.

I received a banger with hook and carb cap from Hymanquartz01. Wasted $30.

The banger is too shallow, the hook is too high and the carb cap is too tall. None of it works together.

Save your money and let's find a vendor that sells products that work together.

Edit: vendor sent photos showing how I can use the coil OR the carb cap, but not both. Ugh. It must be a real challenge to make products when you're not clear how they're used.

Brand new d020 owner here, and my first chinese glass purchase. Very happy with it. Got it from SunshineStore and it arrived in the UK from China within a week (5 days!)! Amazingly speedy delivery!

Fits Triihouse's Lily very well, doesnt topple over.

Thanks to anyone who has ever posted about how great the d020 is. The consensus of opinion was very helpful indeed :)

Which one did you get?? Can you show a pic, I'm actually speaking with Hymanquartz on ali right now, and am contemplating purchasing the HM2010

trying to find a legit retailer on alibaba, but hyman says they are basically out of this nail (which is weird cause their minimum qty is generally 30 or 50).. :hmm:

Hmm... I ordered the same banger and had no issues with the hook or depth of the cup. In fact, that's my deepest banger. Certainly, QC is always an issue with China glass, but I'd contact HymanQuartz for a replacement - sounds more like you got a defective piece.

AFAIK, those carb caps don't work with enails at all. My preference is to get the flat top bangers, and use a normal carb cap.

Ya I ordered the same banger from Hyman and the hook placement was slightly off but still usable, however it was kind of hard to cap with just a flat glass surface so there is no way that cap would have worked with a coil on it.

Ended up buying their quartz nail designed specifically for an e-nail and christmas tree carb cap. Definitely what I would recommend over a banger for an e-nail. Ended up buying one of their 3mm bangers later and I would definitely recommend that to anyone without an e-nail.

I ordered one of the vertical Quartz nails with the smaller carb cap also. Haven't tried them yet, but they all fit perfectly. I don't mind the occasional bust on an order though. We're getting stuff at fair prices considering the cruft that's mixed in there. But really, the banger-enail-carb cap combo is a joke, stick with the this vertical setup for use with an enail:
