DeFi Glass/Chris Riley gridded circ bub

[Frederick McGuire]

Ok guys, another WTB thread from me

I'm after a DeFi Glass (the brand name of the blower Chris Riley) LPGC (Low Profile Gridded Circ) bubbler.

Here's a vid on YouTube of the specific model I'm after:

I've looked, and can't seem to find a single place that sells them online, so if you've seen one in a LHS or something, let me know

Could try to contact this dude. Apparently he's semi affiliated with Defi, so could send him a PM and see what the best method would be.

I have also been interested in his pieces for a while now.. He started his own thread over there too but for near term it looks like his initial investors control where his glass goes:

Woah. What dies that piece go for Fred?

 

[mvapes]

that looks nuts!

 

[Frederick McGuire]

Woah. What dies that piece go for Fred?

I've seen talk of them going at a LHS for $265

Any luck finding one? If you did, and for around that price I'd be interested myself

 

[Frederick McGuire]

Not entirely.

I hopped on GC, sent a few PMs, got a lead that seems to have gone dead, and another lead to a guy on FaceBook who manages their sales.
I sent a message to him like a week and a half ago and no response

I've also had a message from another fc member, who might be willing to sell one...

I've spent a whole bunch on glass in the last month or 2 though, Im thinking I might need to slow down a bit

Well hey if you do track one down and can't justify it right now I'll happily hold it for you

Hey sorry the De-Fi ended up running some heavy usage so I didn't get around to cleaning it until now, but it's now clean and the pictures are taken...

Pm sent

 

[BigDaddyVapor]

Does this guy sell anywhere, besides shops? He got some @#$% investors, money-men, handlers then.

 

[Frederick McGuire]

Nope, no online vendors, no vendors other than headshops that I know of

Errly hasn't responded to my PM, so I guess I'm still looking

I've got you!!! Smokeysglass.com will have the DeFi line up on their site by this friday(03/29/13). They have a lot of nice worked peices by DeFi by chris riley featuring another blower named "Calm". Great great site for ordering glass, decently below retail for online retailers and free shipping over $200(and no tax....). Also they have LITTERALLY the best customer service I have EVER experienced in any industry....no joke. The customer service rep walked around the show room with the piece I ordered and pulled storage bags off the shelves and took individual pics with my piece in each bag so I could better gauge which on to buy- I didn't even ask her to do this. Smokeys glass.com is really worth checking out, you will be surprised- blows many other online stores clear out of the water!!!!

Oh yeah....I almost forgot(because I want to win it) if you like smokeysglass.com on facebook they are running a FREE raffle for a DeFi showerhead bubbler......those are the only details I have, but very well could be that exact bubbler you posted above.....DONT quote me I don't work for or have any affiliation with smokeys except for them being my new go-to for glass.....FUCK nyc headshops; I would much rather support the grassroot efforts and respect for our culture via smokeysglass!! Oh did I mention that their free shipping(over $200) takes 3 days within the US......crazy!!!

 

[toros23]

Did you get one??? See they have some listed now:

[tepictoton]

those are not exactly the same, they seem to have added a turbine to it...still nice looking but I personally would prefer just the showerhead...

If someone does jump onto this, please inform us all as to how it works out

 

[lreindl]

I'd like one of these for my girl, just without that turbine thingy.

 

[Frederick McGuire]

Thanks for all the help/info everyone.
I've worked out a deal with Errrly, so I'll lock this thread once I receive it

I'd like to thank everyone that's helped me out both here and through PMs, expect a vid of this puppy in action once I get it

Any videos in the pipeline?

 

[Frederick McGuire]

Once I receive it
I should be getting it any day now.

 

[lreindl]

Did you ever get it?

 

[Frederick McGuire]

Not yet.
I'm patiently waiting.
Every now and then there's a hold up in customs or something...
I'm not stressing it yet

 

[lreindl]

Dang. Best of luck to you!

Has the Eagle landed now?
