Dab Essentials Domeless Nail

I had a male domeless, 18mm. The thing was beefy but when I tried on my father's cheaper "Chinese" glass it seemed to crack both of the joints on the piece. I was thinking maybe from the heat retention meeting water that was possibly left from filling, but not 100% positive. Needless to say I never tried on my pieces. I got rid of that nail, my friend was adamant to buy it, and he has not had any problems with it. He actually loves it, however I told him to constantly remove after dabbing just in case. I would like to purchase an INFINTi nail or something similar but am scared to bust my good pieces. Any ideas/tips?

What was the domeless? Was it a vapenwier, KO, highly educated, something else?

Never knew really! It was stamped with a DC stamp almost but with the straight line missing on the D. The letters were overlapped, if that even helps.

It seems most people recommend using an adapter with domeless nails. Most videos I've watched, people are using adapters also. They have a tendency to get stuck and you need to heat them to remove them from the joint. Using an adapter keeps them from getting stuck in your expensive glass. If anything breaks, it's the 20 dollar adapter. If your father's glass was that cheap, the nail expanding could have easily broken the joint.

I ordered an Infiniti nail, so I've researched it a bit. I'll have to post back if it works or not, but they've tried to get around these issues with the five pieces. There's extras. The pieces you don't really need for your setup can be used as heat sinks. Best/safest setup looks to be with an 18mm male joint. Thread the tube into the female joint. Thread the male joint next for the heat sink. Then the two cups touching each other for more mass to heat for your dab. In male joints, you can use the second cup as your heat sink.

I'll let you guys know if it gets stuck or breaks my leviathan.

Never had any problems using my DE domeless nailz as they have the 3 heat rings below the cup to prevent from thermal shocks (the sleeved version must help heat dissipation even more BTW).

Tell me you didn't buy this one......


It's best used as a paperweight, It weighs as much as 4 dab essentials nails combined. I was shocked when I first held it and was forced to take the above photo in search of its maker. It's made in china and wholesales for $30.

I've seen them around in the local tobacco shops. They retail from $55-$75. Salesperson from Mint Distribution told me it was "Grade 2 stainless steel" LMAO! BTW Mint is the company that imports fake TI nail (some toxic) and is under indictment for Customs violations, tax evasion and of all things, modern day smuggling. They also make those poison Cloud, mini, Craiglist-y etc. ad nauseum wax vapes that last a week. Also MADE IN CHINA, NOT THE USA!! from unsafe materials. AVOID. RUN. Just don't inhale.

I held one of those and it weighs about 4 ozs. I wasn't planning on adding a oxy acetylene welding bottles to my bubbler but that's the only way that lead balloon is going to get hot. lol. And the taper of the metal isn't the standard 1:10 taper! It wobbled around on the joint, a sure fire recipe for cracking glass.

The only domeless I have is an Infiniti prototype. It hasn't caused any problems but do use a glass adapter. I'd like to get a "lighter" weight domeless for my beer bub.

Domeless are very much NOT for dewarr joints especially. I would avoid french joints too. but as FM said if you use an adapter it should be all good. I do with my domeless.

Moar phun on eBay where I found a company claiming to makes these shitty domeless chunks. They claim the markings are for their company "Concrete Concentrates" and that these are made in Sylmar (Los Angeles) California. A bold faced lie. US Customs says they are imported from China. There is no company in California. So we really have to be careful of people selling toxic junk off of auction sites. It's a jungle. Close down 3 poison nail sellers with Court Orders and 5 more pop up overnight. And as long as they pay listing fees, eBay doesn't care.....until now.

I was informed the US Attorney General has completed an investigation on fraudulently labeled imports and eBay will remove all listing for items claimed to be "Made in the USA" that are on a list of known fake products provided by US Customs.. You can sell poison, just don't put USA on Chinese junk, it pisses Customs off.. It's actually a pretty harsh sentence: Item seizure all the way up to 5 years Federal time.

Here is a pic of where they really come from and the Mfg in China claims it's "Grade 12 (utter BS), but we put any grade you like on it" in the letter I received.

Here is your USA made in Los Angeles California Grade 2 Ti domeless:

This is the exact one brother, copped it for 30 I believe

Dude it took so long to heat with my flamethrower tip on a propane can haha

Thanks a lot guys this was a huge help, after doing more research infiniTI nail seems like the only one I will buy!

Thanks for the info man and sorry for all the damn replies guys

What's this about french joints!

It's when we roll a joint! After french kiss, fries and inhale...
[]<--- OK, I'm out!

Fuck yea! You make french joints sound so sexy/ tasty ;p

This is the only thing ive seen called a french joint... But u could just call it a recessed joint. I guess they called it a french joint cause it makes it sound way cooler than recessed.

the second picture on that link isn't the same piece.

Wow, I didnt even catch that... The first one is the "french" recessed joint the second is a nice looking recycler!

And for those that dont wanna spend $850 on a TC theme this is the cheaper lol...

But I think my original point was to use caution with dewarr and recessed joint and domeless Ti setups. So as not to derail this into a glass thread.
