Just a warning to you guys getting gongs with carbs, that air can get pretty hot. Not sure how you designed it but I would recommend that the carb stick out kind of like a snorkel. Just a thought
Cool Bubbler with snorkel carb
@farscaper funny you should ask about that nail because it is already in the mail and on the way to my house. So in a few short days I will have an answer for you.
I think it is interesting the way that they made it a drop down design
As far as castle nails go that one is designed pretty well. The center cup is large, sort of flat, and not too deep. For heating it a smaller flame torch works best and you want to aim it right in the middle of the cup. Heating it from the side doesn't work that well.
I love the banger design...

@ataxian I believe that this is the cheapest banger at the moment and I can personally vouch for the seller from multiple purchases
@ataxian are you saying that your quartz is not domeless? If so I recommend one of the cheap quartz banger off eBay. Totally worth the $25
Because I could imagine a placebo effect where a domeless seems better than a standard nail and dome. Domeless is the shit
Has anyone on here brought up the GB-214 yet?

It reminds me of my Itza circ to 8 arm tree. And at $56.82 it is less than a quarter of the price.
The only thing that I don't like is the top picture...
@sasNW nice pickup on that pendent. I couldn't resist the purple rain and slyme pendent. I was surprised that he still had it since it seemed to be getting the most attention.
@2clicker I liked your 2 piece steam roller / gong idea so much that I decided to order my very own today. Thanks for...
@PoopMachine I am almost 100% certain that we are dealing with a whole new Kathy. One who stepped her game up and ships out decent quality glass in a timely manner.
I hope for the best in your most recent purchase but I warn you that once you see how much Kathy has improved it might make your...
@olivianewtonjohn good job!
@yingmin5 if you are lurking around and happen to read this I guarantee a 187 sidecar would be a big seller for you. There are a lot of people waiting for one of these to pop up.
I am very excited about the prospect of a higher quality 187 and would be happy to...
I agree that it seems pretty far out for a seller to be willing to replace a ceramic nail. I don't think I have heard a single report of someone not having it crack on them in a few weeks. Sometimes the first day
I totally have that exact nail!
Mine is 18mm and it is indeed huge. It sticks out of most low profile domes that are around these days but it works great with my boro farm periscope. I used to use an adjustable ti nail with it but then one day I had the bright idea of modifying this sweet...
@clouded vision nice collection!
For some reason I have never gotten to hit a diffusion pump even though it seems like a brilliant design for a rig. I have been waiting for a knock off to come out but no luck. And I can't justify spending that kind of money on the real thing since I haven't...
I think flavor perception is an interesting thing. Some people who I referred to as "flavor snobs" no offense anyone, seem to have incredible distinction between various types of nails. Even between nails of the same composition.
I like to compare them to audiophiles. You know, those people...
@HugieLewis I am surprised to hear you say that quartz gets better flavor than boro nails. I always thought that they were about the same with quartz being far more durable.
I definitely have heard flavor snobs trying to claim that boro is the absolute best and that they rather get a new nail...
I totally hear you on it being a pain in the ass with some of these rigs. It's like tiny has become so popular that it has overshadowed functionality. I don't want my face 2 inches from my nail and I should not need to buy an adapter to fix that!
@syrupy I can agree with you on the fact that a large female joint can look oversized on some of these new little rigs. I borrowed this picture from @Herr_Dampf of his awesome new incycler and as much as I love it that joint does look like a bit much. Perhaps 14mm female would be better for a...
I did get mine from the same source. Sorry to hear that they sent you a crappy one. It is a shame that they are not offering a consistent product. I guess I got lucky. Kind of like how I got a cool domeless quartz off eBay called a "bho bullet" the first one was great but when I tried ordering...
