Oh yeah, it's absolutely going to be a shitshow – packages got backed up for weeks last time the US president even suggested removing the de minimis exception – I'm just saying that's how tariffs are usually handled (and how they're currently handled when people import things with a higher value...

It's worth noting it may not up to the platform to charge tariffs; in most countries with import tariffs, packages are held at customs until tariffs are paid by the recipient. Also, the de minimis exception for Chinese goods shipped to the US won't be removed until May 2nd, so we won't know from...

Oh, thank you! I’m happy to pay full price, though; it’s more than fair for an artisan metal pipe!

Noticed my Lotus' upper screen had somehow come loose, so I opened up the whole thing. Got the screen back into place properly, but somehow two of the screw heads stripped out – does anybody know what size screws are used for the Lotus, so I can take these broken screws out and replace 'em? I...

Does anybody know if POTV's stock of the Solo 3 is V1 or V2? The description makes me think V1, which would explain why they're discounting it by 36%...

2-3 years is a reasonable expectation, possibly over 3 years, though you could get lucky and get selected in a Toad lottery (where you throw your name in the hat for duplicates and designs everybody in a given batch passed on) to have a shortened timeline. I signed up in Novermber 2023 and my...

If it hits the US before the de minimis exception is removed, you'll be in the clear as long as the Toad and accessories are worth less than $800 total, just like before. If the current US regime chooses to remove the de minimis exemption (like they've been threatening to) between now and then...

Oh hey, winner of a Nautilus here! I won the vape + pods and opted to buy the churchwarden stem kit myself. It works well, and I find the pipe shape fun. The pods are also very convenient! I’ve just discovered I’m not too into session conduction vapes, it feels like some herb goes to waste due...

I, too, would love for pure V2s to be a thing. Pure ebony V2s, preferably.

Yeah, I’m excited! CDXX pipes are wayyyyy out of budget for me, like 3-8x the price of the one I ordered. Plus I’m not really down with the aesthetic of most of his pipes.

I ordered this one from StagAndBanner on Etsy (but requested purple highlighting instead of red), they look super nice and have good reviews. I was actually talking with him about getting a custom-made pipe for my Lotus awhile back, but the Neo negates the need for anything custom (he drills...

Got the chance to play with my Neo over the weekend (VGEZ actually did include a battery with mine, though I'm unsure if that was by mistake or what). I used my Lotus bowl on a jhook and slipped the Neo over it to vape. It was a delight. I don't think this will stop me from using my Lotus and...

The issue wasn't ceramic dust, but steel dust created from the ceramic bearing rubbing against the steel center pole. PEEK bearings avoid this since the PEEK race essentially acts as a (softer-than-steel) barrier between the ceramic balls and the steel of the grinder.

I just turn the flame size up to compensate as the butane runs low, then drain the little bit remaining before refilling. This works great for everything from the Vapman torch to the bigger, dual-flame Ronxs torch, ime.

I reached out to Dangle Supply via email and they let me know the WizardStix bowl is 11mm and the WitchStix bowl is 15mm, both of which are too small for the Neo, sadly.
