Hi there, this is the artist who made the piece you are talking about and a few folks mentioned this thread to me today so I just wanted to chime in - I'll start by saying thank you for buying something from me and I apologize you still have to deal with a cracked piece. I started blowing glass late in 2013 and I think this piece was my first or second pendy rig I ever made, made within my first year (?) and I've never defended things I didn't do right. It was my ignorant choice of color that caused the problem to begin with - I've since learned it is very prone to cracking in deep encasement so I rarely even use it anymore. I still consider myself a beginner who has something to learn from anyone else working behind a torch but I'm getting better every day!

The reason I'm posting is because I disagree with how you said I handled the issue. I wanted to get that cleared up and hopefully still resolve your issue, if you want it resolved. It's very hard to search for messages that are this old on reddit so I'm doing this from memory...

My state only decriminalized paraphernalia about a month ago so I've always been VERY cautious about repairs coming back. I live less than 30 miles from DC, attention is paid to the mail around here. I tell people that they need to be absolutely spotless because if something goes wrong BOTH of our addresses are on the box and we BOTH could get in trouble. Plus, repairing a dirty piece is a stinky pain to deal with in any state.

Many glassblowers will charge a cleaning fee if something comes back dirty and I've never done that so I would certainly never smash something AFTER it has arrived here safely... what would be the point???

I offered several options (again, correct me if I'm wrong here - it's been a while)...

The option to clean it and return it for a full refund

...or clean it and return it for repair (with all expenses paid by me)

...or, because it was cosmetic only and didn't impact the function of the piece I also offered that you could keep it as-is for a partial refund

...or if you just didn't want to deal with the hassle of returning it and just wanted your money back you could smash it and send me a photo for a full refund.

I still feel that those options are fair and they are still all available to you but like you mentioned above - you never got back to me to let me know how you want to proceed.

I've had more sales on /EntExchange than any other Reddit user and can count on one hand the number of refunds I've had to give - or repairs I've had to do for things that were my fault but I always stand by my work and have always made it right. I feel comfortable saying I've got the sales history on reddit, and now growing on facebook, to confirm that.

Sorry for the long-winded message but I hope this addresses your concerns that I DO stand by my work and I DID attempt to make it right - and those offers still stand today so again, I apologize for the trouble and if you are interested please contact me on Instagram because I probably won't check this account as often and want to make sure I get back to you ASAP.
I hope this addresses your concerns that I DO stand behind my work and DID try to make it right - and still will, if you are interested.

eBay seller 4thehigler has some 14mm and 18mm caps on occasion, bought one for $8 shipped.

Edit: realized 4thehigler is Subconscious Design, previously mentioned by ReggieB.

ty guys, contacted the ebay guy and will wait to hear back. if not, that reclaim setup is perfect.. at least paying 8 bucks for a few pieces of glass and some clips, not just one piece, pretty good deal actually.

13.99 every couple of months is worth it to me for clean glass, even without reclaim.

Not much of a drinker, so I will evaporate and dab it most likely. I have tried to make edibles, but have yet to really feel them. That will be my mission this April in Denver, to feel edibles

Kind of OT but if youre going to the Cup, be really diligent about knowing what you're getting with edibles. Strength varies huge there. Mrs P got hold of a piece of fudge that took her out of commission for an entire day and she's not a lightweight. There were multiple people even waiting in line to get into the Cup that had too much edibles and were freaking out, crying, having to lay down, etc.

@blazedd i can't find my last order for some reason but I'm pretty sure it was cleanclearglass or Kathy that had these even cheaper at 4+ and they let me mix various male/female joints in the 4. The keck clips are cheap, but if you don't take them off and on often they are fine.

Watch out for Kathy.. Ive had a piece that tracking hasnt updated, even initially, in over a month. She doesnt seem too keen on making it right.

She initially told me it would be delivered this week. Tracking didnt update.. didnt figure it would. Now she said if it hasnt updated in a week, she will send another one.... almost 6 weeks later. Then I get to start the process all over again.

Not trying to bag on Kathy but my luck with her has been terrible.

Waiting to trigger on the recycler Hydratube until first review comes out. But I don't have that much patience so I may have to do it...is SunShine store a quick shipper?

Just do it! I eagerly await your review :) I am curious how well it balances on top of an EVO.

Ohhh That is nice. How much?

BTW I looked at the Recycler hydratube at http://www.dhgate.com/product/2016-new-hot-item-hydratube-9-5-inches-bubbler/372671070.html and for only $34.10 I just pulled the trigger. I guess my patience is all of 1 minute when it comes to GAS and cheap prices.

They arent for sale any more. Amazing piece for the Evo. Hell, I took orders for the artist and I dont even have one.

China should totally knock it off tho.. its a great piece and deserves to be used by everyone even in knockoff form.

Yeah I remember that story from before we went last year. It played a big role in my staying way on the safe side with edibles last year. This year we are staying a few extra days, and my mission is to 'feel' edibles this trip. Gonna do it the safe way, via dispensary bought stuff and take it slowly, but it is gonna happen

Is Steven's FTK the only one worth considering? There are many less expensive ones from sellers I'm not familiar with. Will other trusted vendors lick this design up?

That piece looks really nice but also looks like a pain to clean. I keep my glass spotless so I am soaking/rinsing every day. I find some pieces I hardly ever use because they are more difficult to run water through and get clean. Just emptying the water looks like a pretty involved effort. It looks like a lot of fun to hit though.

Its not bad at all... pretty easy to empty and I cleaned them with ISO and PBW pretty regularly beings that I tested every one before they got sent out to make sure function was up to par.

Hey guys, I'm about to buy an arizer air and I'm pretty pumped.
Looking for suggestions on best cheap glass to get and best adapter to use.
I've seen 2 mentioned in the small bit of research I've done. FC-187 and D020. I'd definitely chose the 187 between those two options but what are the other good options out there for cheap?
Also, where is the best place to get an adapter (also, what is the best adapter? I've seen a few different ones but don't really understand the difference)?

Modnote: Removed link to counterfeit labeled glass.

How durable is that joint? I love the piece but I'm worried it would crack right off at the slightest bump

Well I had a hot ass enail in it all weekend passing it around with no trouble? This is the thickest piece of Chinese glass I own. 4mm I think. You never know with Chinese joints though! My GB-187 snapped with a tiny bunp but it was 1/2 as thick.
