What should my next glass purchase be?

And now that I finally realized exactly what seed of life perc really is, Mothership OG but clean clear glass knocked off now sold by calibear only... The similar designs I linked above on DHgate do not have the same type of perc diffusion aside from the other quality control things...

So now I am looking at calibear and see this fab egg one for $93:

And this plain inverted shower head fountain without any recycler for $69:

So naturally I am now asking if they might be able to sell me the above one, with an 18mm male joint instead of the mouthpiece perhaps... I mean I'm not even sure that would be the ideal airflow and diffusion for modular rigging, but I can't seem to stop researching!

And check out this heady klein funnel one for $150:

Though I like this old heady one from Instagram even more:

Either way too expensive, but still!
There are several things there that are really cool looking but since IM NOT LOOKING FOR GLASS I will pretend I didn't see them. This last one has the best pic of their SOL perc. I am very curious to see one in action but I suspect the really coolest of them would be Mothership who had the original idea (I think) and laser cut them. Sharp edges may be important, I don't know. Mothership is like Tesla to me, something I would really like to own some day and likely never will. Yet I still buy the occasional lottery ticket so who knows... ;)

Added: Now both you and @RustyOldNail have some better views of those SOLs.

My Welded Tater Tot from Goo Roo Glass arrived this afternoon, and it is splendid. So far I've tried the Weltato with the Neo, The Wand from Ispire, the Arizer EQ and the Ditanium. Twice. Maybe more. Maybe not. This feels like getting a new vape. I'd used each of those vapes earlier today with a different piece of glass, and the experience was nothing like this. Now I'm curious about the Couch Potato, but that way lies madness.
I am way very stoned.
Thank you for the suggestion @arb, you have changed my life for the better. I may never get off the couch. I will subsist entirely on Tots, and other potato dishes. I will soon resemble a potato, but I won't care because I'll have the Weltato. I really should order a backup, because if something dreadful happens to this one, I would require instant consolation in my grief.
This is the sort of glass that makes you think you'll never need another piece of glass. Except for a few other pieces from Goo Too. Out of appreciation for how epic the Weltato is.
Maybe the Couch Tater is even better.
Just super stoned, and headed out for more.

Gonna be awful hard to top that........lolz.
The potato is worth having if you feel that way as its massive size makes the experience diffent enough I reckon.
Weltato,sounds like it left a mark.

Oh yeah and there's a difference, flower of life is the more common one it seems, that is what I was thinking of, that there is that tall gooseneck of on DHgate, laser cut slits in flowers pattern... Seed of life is that larger slit design actually.

And so I discovered another place that sells clean clear glass, Wednesday glass in Canada, selection a little different and prices too, like this:

Plain perc clear glass 8 inches tall bent neck mouthpiece (better than the option at Cali Bear that is under 7 inches with a small straight mouthpiece) that after 10% off, to about $90 Canadian or $75 USD shipped... Slightly more than the $69 at Cali Bear but like I said this seems to be a much more practical piece I think!

They have a clear blue or opaque purple as well, though they are $15 USD more, so I feel like it's not really worth it since the whole thing isn't colored anyway just the perk and tip of the mouthpiece and edge of the base?

It's either that or I am toying with this tall flower of life fab egg:

11.8 inches tall in fact, the only one left at Cali Bear is the milk blue color, which actually looks to be the opaque purple glass, which I do kind of like, although I realize it might not be so good for a piece like this, being able to tell how dirty it is and needing of cleaning??

However it is $132 shipped which I think is very expensive for me for glass? But I've never had glass this big I guess, or this complex, this quality, with this color?? Also it is 18mm, all these shorter cheaper ones are only 14mm...

Is taller any better though? More variety for me, but I don't know more air flow lung power to fill? I'm not entirely sure, I just know stacking hydro tube on circ perc FC mod, I guess I don't exactly struggle with it, probably would do fine with this foot long fountain perc fab egg??

But still, is it worth the money, the opaque color, or is it worth maybe just keeping an eye on for a better sale and or more colors in stock, like maybe the clear blue is what I would want more...???

Anyway, naturally I am still going back and forth on the two DHgate rigs, they are also 8 inchers 14mm so like even if they are cheap it's so hard to justify multiple just to try the variations... Maybe I could justify getting the cheaper one that has more purple and a more different perc I suppose with the top slits on the fountain, instead of the honeycomb holes, since I have the inline honeycomb (which by the way does seem to be about 9.8 inches)

I mean the cheaper one is $27.50, I could get that and the $75 clear plain flower of life from wednesday glass, to like try the difference to see if that perc really is special? I mean if it's just trying the park I could get the gooseneck for like 50? ehhh I don't know! yeesh lol

IMO there's nothing special about that perc besides looking kinda cool. Used to have one when they were $30. Honestly I have inlines, circs, ratchets, showerheads, and they're all pretty damn similar. A perc that actually hits different is my two hole "pig nose" down stem in my favorite little fumed mini tube.

Haha yeah, annoyed I missed the old cheap rush snoozing on the glass thread! Suppose it's possible they could have a 710 sale?? They are sold out of a lot of stuff though... Seems there was another recent sale I may have missed!

Thank you, that definitely helps me avoid the $75 plain one at least! I think part of the problem with the large one, is I'm a bit taken with the design now, the size as something new too, I feel like I can even justify a high price considering my other paraphernalia purchases, although $132 really should be able to get lower than that, and still not sure if I would want to shell out for opaque instead of clear blue...

Yeah so because it's so cheap, $27.50, and I like the layout of the clear purple and the slitted ratchet perc fountain head to try with mini fab egg, I think I will order this one off DHgate, though I am still tempted by the other one with the honeycomb fountainhead for $34.50, however you saying this does make me even more certain it will be so similar to my inline honeycomb and not so worth it for me now...?

So yeah now I'm just thinking, about the price of the tall straight fab FOL, the opaque color too, but mainly the size, is it worth adding to my collection??? :razz::hmm:

I don't remember what you ordered, but the big Inline I ordered over the weekend hasn't yet shipped and the only thing I asked them to change was to reduce the stickers. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we bought up any stock they already had on these popular pieces.

Actually, if you are waiting on FedEX you probably aren't talking about Goo Roo. They use USPS.

Okay okay, I'll play along, just found this $93 piece ($91 here) on DHgate that looks pretty tater totty, maybe more like a baked potato:
Screenshot-20210617-134145.png


And I found this cheap one, potential alternative for a tall 11-inch tube, big glass spike dimple indents instead of fab egg cylinder, basic little inline two slit perc? Straight mouthpiece though, probably pretty nice as a big dry tube?? Obviously way cheaper too lol no FOL perc etc...

Yeah I don't know that the slight bent neck of the FOL, and slight extra height, are worth an extra $100 lol I mean you also get the fancy perc and big fab egg, much better build quality, but still... For me it may seem more worthwhile to get another cheapo? :rofl:

Mine arrived today. I ordered mine on 6/12 so it took 6 days to get to me in the midwest. I am using it for the first time right now, took a few flowerpot hits and I do love the function. I also love the flared mouthpiece, which I had on my other rig, but the mouthpiece on that one had some rough edges and it wasn't comfortable. This one on the GooRoo piece is very smooth. The perc is very quiet too. All in all, I'm happy with my purchase, especially with that discount.

My only complaint is that it's just tall enough where I will have to stand to take a hit. Minor issue, I could use the exercise.

Alright yeah I decided to go the cheap route, $39 for 14mm female 11 inch straight tube with spikes, perhaps will be a dry piece since the perc is so simple...

Screenshot-20210617-182606.png


The store wrote me back, which was encouraging, and yeah I think it's going to be a big heavy piece, looks and feels like it could be a bit club like, so now I will get a little "home defense" as well! :lol:

And I think I will get the cheaper small purple fountain ratchet perc fab egg one why not, if the store replies to my message, otherwise I may get one from a different store...

The store where I got the blue recycler, which already arrived in my city apparently now, has similar purple one and green one for only a couple dollars more, back up plan

So no FOL perc for me, not now at least, no pricey glass pieces (well the gooseneck rattle can was the most at $62) but I am at five DHgate bubbler rigs getting ready for the sixth, and likely will stop at seven if it works out what sunshine store and the little male slitted shower head (they just replied, seemingly misunderstanding my request for the custom or the adapters lol)

I would like to believe it is perspective, but it is $39... :rofl:

Haha yeah it is being held from the mouthpiece, so it is hard to tell, although them being crooked is not surprising, I did request them to choose one that is as straight as possible for all the joints and connections, no bubbles or cracks, they replied "okay" so we'll see what turns up!

Just to be clear, since joining this forum in 2014, all but one piece I have purchased have been DHgate glass. Good glass certainly can be had for this price, it is just not assured. :cool:
I agree whole heartedly.
Sadly the last couple years the prices on the gate have gone up without a match in quality overall.
Also I have had two cards get violated on the gate,cost me nothing but a minor inconvenience but was slightly amusing so......adapters and shit in bulk for sure.
