Two is better than one for sure but it will be next week before I'm in a position to start snapping pics and sending messages.
I wrote him he said send pics, which is normal and he says if his fault no worries I'll replace it. My pics are going to have to good, you spin this rig around and the crack becomes visible,at another angle you cant see it,but I'm gonna try like hell. Ive been gone a while, isnt he the dude who was shipping out the barrel to funnel recycler that was literally just as fragile as a babys ass? ,most arrived DOA,and mine was no different. No one likes to buy shit and even if its 20 bucks ,make it so it works and doesnt break when you look at it, geez. But imagine the unlucky peeps that buy these at LHS for 4x the price and have them crap out on them....SMH
I think he wants to seize the moment and rushes his work out and maybe his glowers are entry level and not as experienced as some others. I have never had a Kathy rig give me headaches, most were put together well enough that they didnt break when you looked at them and I didnt witness any wanky percs or bases. Not talking 500 $ art here but for the most part a lot of my CH glass is decent and works well. Ive had a good run with a lot of it and this FC1000 & my Jhan Pixel were my only rigs that had self destructing cracks coming out of no where.
Edit**
sent out pics,I'll advise on his response back,Mine is getting worse as I speak,bummer, I now have a small leak, coming from small crack and this too is spreading,WTF is he making them out of Hollywood stuntman sugar glass? I dont want beat him up too bad, I hope he trys to make good,Im gonna try fish tank caulk fix, but I was loving this thing and was getting used to it being my daily for a while,I like how the top chamber begins to get milked up a little, from there clearing it ,the top chamber gets filled with thick milky vapor from the lower and I had to learn to not milk the top too much due to the lower holding a lot more vapor than meets the eye. I only have 1.5 lungs left due to the CA. But I'm in remission a good while now but I want that other 1/2 back just for clearing this big bad boy.
Eventually the perc is going to split in half and the floor of the pillars is about to crack in 1/2 as well. Yikes, gonna have to really look on the sides of the can for chard's the size of grains of sand, I dont know
if you could accidentally inhale this stuff
