Cheap High Quality Bubbler

@galacticdad ive ordered from unknown dhgate sellers and while I have gotten every order in under 45 days, the quality has been 50/50, whereas sunshinestore, Cathy, and cleanclearglass have been closer to 90/10, and were easy to work with on refunds or credit.

And with that knowledge in mind, I'm hoping I hop on the right side of 50/50 with this juicebox rig.

I just contacted Steven about the fake tracking number I've gotten. Been a week and no updates on it. Does anyone else (reputable) sell an FTK yet? I'd really like this piece but especially at Steven's premium pricing and this bullshit I want to cancel and have my CC refunded.

I don't even get it, they know about this board and can watch it and know we talk about them, why pull this crap?

Glass is glass, there's nothing unsafe about it. There are potential moral problems regarding possibly unsafe shops and/or child labour in China, however these are purely speculation. Basically unless you make a point to only buy stuff made in America you are probably already using made in China stuff that the same moral quandaries apply to. And if you do only buy local somehow then you most likely have the money to afford American glass.

Just got this rig from (Kathy0577) today and damn this glass is sweet...;) Paid under $40 and arrived just over 2 weeks. Believe me if I could realistically afford too I would always buy hand made American glass but apart from the 2-4 week wait period China glass has been good so far.

So I've been lurking on this thread a while and I've got to say thanks to everyone who made this thread. I knew a lot of glass came from China (stuff with colored waffle/tree) but didn't know it was made with this quality. I bought from stevenlmz fx-187v2 and fx-186. I'm in love with the 187, the 186 is great too but a bit more chuggy. So seeing as I liked the 187 I asked about making an atom clone I've talked to a bunch of friends who love that piece but not the price tag, Jane said the mould would be done this week!! So again thanks everyone for helping me afford the glass I wanted but would never pay full price

I have many pieces from Steven?
Never had I ever a problem?

I believe his prices are fair?
@demonscars you might be happier with www.agualabs.com possibly?

I've done 2 other orders with him and been happy, but this order I placed on December 21st, was only given a tracking number and told it was shipped after I messaged Jane a few times after it kept seeming like no progress was made. I messaged them again yesterday after my Jan 6th "shipped" tracking number doesn't seem like a package has been even given to China Post and all they said is "wait it will appear". That's a pretty unacceptable answer. It should be showing SOMETHING by now, every other China glass order I've had has showed up in tracking in that amount of time. At least saying they have the package. This seems to be a common Steven story, some good orders that but goodwill but then something like this happens.

Clash of Culture!

In Western Culture lying is considered unacceptable whereas in Eastern Culture lying is part of their Culture.

I need to purge all the glass I have.
However I just use what I have until a piece arrives.

Some pieces take 6 weeks.
In fairness I got some in 5 days.
I hope in your case it's a rotation issue and not a Rob from Peter to pay Paul issue?

That is why I like www.agualabs.com for quick deliver however much higher than www.dhgate.com

I'm waiting for more glass as well from Steven (FC)

I get some pieces from SSS and their a week or less.
I have most of what they make so now I use FC for most.
Kathy057 has been good as well.

My custom pieces were so expensive however I broke one this week!

When a $900 piece breaks the $40 piece from FC is worth the wait in my case!

No hard feelings and sorry to hijack this tread.

Almost there...
So i decided to treat myself and buy a WT for myself!
I had been eyeing those snowflake incyclers on DHGate for quite while.
Bit the bullet and ordered a Wings Of Liberty Incycler:

DO NOT BUY THIS!!!

I must say, with no load it functions pretty well but you do need a considerable pull to get it going.
As soon as a load is applied it is impossible to pull the water up to the inlets for the drain.
I only managed to get it to recycle by hooking up my Herbalizer and using the fan assist and the biggest pull i could manage, it was a very nice hit but i was winded afterwards!
It is nicely crafted and puts my other China glass to shame, pity it does not function as it should.

So now i use it dry with my Lotus and the hits are amazing!
It has more suction to it and i am getting bigger hits out of the same material!

So it does have a use but not the intended one...
At least it did not break the bank!
Onto the next piece...LOL!

Update to the hydratube. Sunshinestore has a prototype and will be able to list sometime after the New Years, around feb 16th according to their email. If there are any suggestions before they start producing these, please speak up now.

Looks great, like the size and angle of the mouthpiece . Thanks to those who drew up the designs for this -can't wait to order it for my EVO.
Just waiting for Steven's FC mouthpiece and FC MOd to show up- found this video on reddit of the FC mouthpiece in use wih the EQ.

Just a silly question - maybe I have not understood this correctly but....you DO know you're not supposed to pull the water up to the holes in the recycler, right? That's just to collect splashes. Try it with water just over the perc. I like the look of that little rig, what's the height on yours? Several reviewers mention theirs was smaller than the description. How's the build quality? I'm interested to hear if it can be made to perform better with less water.

Their advert is crazy - so much Chinglish it makes my eyes water! They even hint they are using Corning glass! I think the idea was to seem really hip and give the impression of good quality, but all they achieve is adding a level of sketch.
