This Can't be right !
Over $ 200 for shipping to US , that's way more than the bubbler
itself . It must be a typo ??? or it doesn't belong in this thread .
Says shipping to Canada, not US.

Got my D020, Cranberry Extract and PBW this morning! Bubbler looks really nice, solid like others mentioned. I can't see any defects so far. Awesome deal, took 12 days to get here. Epacket rocks...looks
like they 'skip" customs, or are inspected first, in China? Anyway, darn quick. And, I'm all set for keeping
it clean, thanks to FC! Do you all do any kind of special "1st clean" before you use a new piece?
Anyone else seen this one?:

And this one, maybe the seller would make an exception and sell one instead of the MOQ of 10:

I like both but I would need adapters since extracts are out of the question for me.
After second glance the first one is getting pricey (for China) at $75 shipped...but may be worth it if it functions amazing..gambles gambles..
I would order american made in an instant but shipping, customs and taxes just kill the deal. If anybody knows some cool, european glass blowers I am all ears. Roor is just overpriced and boring, sorry. Ehle is pretty much the same. They both do high quality pieces, but all I can get here are those same boring tubes and beakers. Blackleaf has some nice pieces and I plan on ordering a "Tea Time" honey comb from their "Blaze" series as soon as my paycheck comes through, but they don't do anything outlandish like a recycler. Something as tiny and still (hopefully awesome) as the Toro knock-off is pretty much non existent.
Cranberry extract - add to water to lower the amount of buildup on glass - http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/rezblock.8060/
PBW - fill piece with a mixture of hot water and PBW, then let the piece sit for a while for awesomely clean glass without shaking or much handling of your glass at all - http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/pbw-the-chemistry-of-clean.7854/
the 2nd one I asked the seller if he would break it down to singles =NOPE 10 count is the lowest he can do.The 1st rig(Toro pictured) ,I posted and said if its exactly as shown (doubt it) at 75 bucks would be a steal. The problem is as you say a GAMBLE. Communication is slim w/ some of these merchants.The translator programs they use are a bit flaky.The message gets a bit fouled up at times.You should see some of the replies I get.
Ms Wu is IMO one of the better shops and does try her best to respond accordingly. I asked the merchant selling the TORO knock off rig ,"do you have this piece exactly as shown"? NO ANSWER, crap shoot, get the dice out and start hop'n for the best!
Sam at http://glassblowersdirect.com/ offers them for 39.95 plus tax and shipping. It was 94.88 for the two.
Couldnt you do the same with this here?

Sure its got the single male end but all it needs is a plug, right?

Seems that it would be cheaper at less than half the price and free shipping?
Edit: I'm sure if you shop around you can find it cheaper.
Yea looks like this would work. The joints on the first link look to be higher quality than the ebay variation.
Went ahead and ordered a D020 from Sunshinestore. Hope this one works out!!
Question: My Solo is arriving in a couple of days and I specifically ordered the D020 to pair with it. Do I need a "GonG" to make it work?
Haven't seen this one before. Not too keen on the green highlights: http://www.dhgate.com/product/latest-glass-bong-glass-thickness-5mm-height/182269329.html
