I received my Othership Torus by Stevenlmz79 today.
Yes.
I like this very much.
It works amazingly, one hit from my EQ feels like three hits through my D020 for example! This is my favourite "candle holder" yet. Powerful, beautiful and affordable.
For anyone on the fence, I would say you could not be disappointed and should jump over!
It's a great size, good amount of water for freshness, good amount of diffusion, nice amount of vacant chamber for sitting vapour, the vortex is impressive enough but I am more pleased by the rest of the piece, which surprises me. It even retains flavour better than my D020 and any of my other pieces.
It's really, really nice.
The defects are tiny scorch marks on the downstem from the incycler (very small black marks viewable from low angles), and the 18SG inlet is not perfectly sized/shaped giving whatever is plugged in a tiny bit of play, but it still seals completely airtight with no effort. Also, the slits in the perc are not quite verticle and not evenly spaced, but it looks perfectly fine to the eye, and even better with water magnifying it. The glass is flawless, except the brace connecting the down stem, which is a bit sloppy. It has bubbles is not of even width and is not straight. But it is pretty much picture perfect from the side on both sides. And the rest of the glass, which makes up 99% of the mass is literally flawless. This is THE best quality glass I've received yet, entirely due to the fact that it's finished fully. It's polished properly and there is not a scratch, or a bubble in the main body, or any other width fluctuations.
It’s spot on.
It has easily got the best reception than any other piece I have.
The postage took 28 days from purchase travelling from China to Australia and it was well worth the wait.
Packaging was on par with the DHgate standard, although I would say other sellers have gone beyond this in recent months from my experience. It wasn't form fitted into polystyrene, for an example of "bomb proof packaging", but had enough bubble wrap, and the piece itself is a tank.
9/10 - It's not perfect, but I'm okay with that.
