@ataxian Huh I'll have to ask me aunt if she knows or remembers the store. the next time she does one of those Apple video chat apps on the iPad. My Grandpa owned was "Arakawa Shell" on California ave in Waikiki.

I think it's pretty much every Millennial has at one point in their life (or for me my entire life) has dreamed of growing up on an era between the 40's-80's as a young adult for one reason or another...hell I'd take going on 10 in 70's but until earth gets a time machine (or sucked into a Black Hole as some believe, and if I wasn't such a logical thinker I'd like to believe it could be true too) but anyway.

Our family name on Oahu (so confusing that "Honolulu County" IS the entire Island so for the longest time I thought they were different islands :doh:) Arakawa.

But back to business.

Damn @pxl_jockey I think he like JUST made the "Made It" people cause his last piece "On The Block" is looking like it's gonna go at $400 when in August his pieces maxed out at $350 and that was a Prototype the piece I posted except with the top of the cover over the grudline indented to act as a well to recycle water like a Klein below to the lower slits. Ironically that one sold for less than $175.

I totally feel like this was one of those chances that the Internet and Glass Gods got together and split the sky to send his work to my phone and I squandered that chance on things like Car payments and "Rent" I mean like wtf was I thinking?!

Shot myself in the foot with this one haha. But seriously, Damn man! I feel like my dream piece just drifted into thin air.

Over 1000 pages, so many smart/genious individuals, and so much love for the diffusion pump perc and we couldn't think to just add top slits to so many pieces with that same "cup" design with slits at the bottom over a perc that comes from the arm into the main chamber. *Dave Chapelle voice* Gad Damn!

It appears my replacement RattleCan has been shipped by yingmin5.
Dealing with DHGate is nice and simple when all goes well, but when it doesn't they are something of a labyrinth.
That being said, they do try to protect the consumer and that is appreciated.

I have often found that a combination of politeness, perseverance and patience can pay off eventually.

I also made an explicit point to the seller that we have established a big good seller, bad seller forum/thread with a list and individual experience reports.

I really really laid it on thick made it sound like a huge influential regime.
I was polite and insistent but consistent with everything I said.

This makes them think and keep them on their toes.
Besides resolving indivudual issues/transactions, I feel it will be good for the sellers do you think that is threat is much greater than it really is.

So I would suggest more of us take this line? The more we can reinforce this idea and therefore incentive to do better, from multiple angles but consistently and convincingly, I think there is a chance of seeing better treatment and swifter resolutions.

But...keep that carrot in view. I assured the seller at the time that I was going to give them every chance to resolve the issue and preserve their reputation before I reported my experience which would likely result in them being placed in the bad sellers list.

They practically pleaded with me not to harm their reputation this way.

I received the full refunds I was right the old eventually which was only fair because they sent me a completely different glass piece to the picture they showed it didn't even have the same joint size it was nothing like it and I didn't even realise until long after that there was a leak in the Bong anyway.

And they tried to offer me a cheapy green glass straw drinks type bong with a stupid lid on it as a solution. Telling me how they got family to support and stuff which I empathize with that doesn't mean they can go and tell me a load of rubbish that I never ordered or paid for.

So maybe keep this in mind guys. Hope y'all doing good anyway. Positive vibes from the UK tonight. Just happy to be alive here things have been pretty precarious of late.

kind of a Review for piece https://www.dhgate.com/store/product/7-inch-solid-yellow-glass-water-bong-bubbler/423504467.html

it is a 2 minimum order on those, one does not work that well but the other is Great ! I started with the first piece and could not quite get it to chug that well... later tried the other and it chugs a lot better... slits are a little lower in the chamber so I guess that was it... anyway, just a shout out to cheap glass in the cheap thread ... these things are mighty lite so almost feels like not even being there save for water weight ... I've not tried it with no water and just vapor... may try that out.
I got these for the Fury2 vape and Fury edge and the vapes do not seem to big for pieces but are approaching that size ,limit so a larger vape may be to big to fit comfortably but would still work .
delivered in a few weeks to East Coast , no probs there, no blemishes ETC... just one is better than the other by the way its made

Alrighty then. Guess what came today? My Rattle Can from Yinmin5. Looks very good and the rattle ball is free to move. I cleaned it out well and then filled it with water and gave it a hit. No rattle. Oh oh, I thought, no rattle after this? Maybe there needs to be some negative pressure. So I loaded up a stem, dropped it in the female and that baby rattles with the best of them. It's not terribly loud but I think that is a plus, as I sometime (often) buzz after visitors are sleeping.

So, thank you Yingmin5 and others who suggested I get a new one rather than taking a discount. And you too, @LesPlenty for giving the vendor a little push. This one has turned out well.

Hey everyone, I'm trying to get my first water piece for my fury edge since the vapor is pretty harsh/too warm for me. Was considering The Scope bubbler from puffitup but someone mentioned that getting a dedicated bong would be more worth it.

What's the goto bong at the moment? Willing to spend the extra if it's worth it since I'm one of those buy one and be done type. How's the fc-ufo and how does it compare to the matrix sidecar or d020-d? I don't want anything too extravagant/huge either

The Matrix sidecar and FC UFO are quite large, the D020 and now the D020-d both have small thin glass mouthpieces now so I would recommend a Rattle Can, either of these,

or,

I am favoring the VA (top link) over the FC (bottom link) by a bit.:tup:

if you get the d-20 series with the Dewar joint you will need an 18 to 14mmm adapter for the fury WPA to seat into the Dewar joint... or use a wine cork and make a tip for the WPA to snug it into the Dewar joint...
this is the piece I've been using with my Fury vapes for a few years now. 14mm female drop = https://www.dhgate.com/store/product/2015-feb-newest-glass-bong-9-quot-inches/247499767.html

I was lucky, my F2 clears all my 'dewer' joints bar one of my Matrix sidecars, no rise needed...just.:tup:

@C No Ego that rig you linked looks like it would make a good little dab rig too, yes or no? (too much diffusion)?
I don't like 14mm joints, as a rule, I make exceptions for dabbing...maybe(once so far).:)

Oh Junk! I was thinking Fury2 vape and the Glass WPA that inserts into Fury chamber ( Fury edge chamber fits Fury2 WPA as well) ... the fury edge WPA fits those Dewar joints fine.. if you use Fury2 WPA in the edge chamber you will then need an extra reducer for Dewar joints ... in fact edge is bigger than fury2 WPA
sorry for confusion

So I'll be fine with just the fury edge WPA right? Just making sure before I buy everything! Haha


So how does the matrix sidecar/fc-ufo compare to the rattlecans? I see that they don't have the percs that the matrix/ufo has. Also so only the d020s suffer from the thin glass issue?

Fury's WPA fits 14/18mm for sure, it sits perfectly on a 18.8mm (D020)
D020 or D020-D, if you already make the investment - IMHO don't go for the d020s.
I really liked my F2 on a D020.

Glad I asked, I was pretty close to getting the d020-d the other day. So I narrowed my choices down to the matrix sidecar, fc-ufo, and the rattlecans will be a tough one. Just have to know the pros and cons of each but it's all new to me so hopefully y'all can help me out

Never tried the D020D, in my case the D020 really help with the harsh throat. 2 D020 survived almost a year, waiting for my new one

I would take the UFO off your list. From what I understand its supposed to have alot of volume and give big hits. You are looking for smooth hits as using it dry irritates your throat, a big lung busting hit will probably make you cough as well.

Rattle can is a newer design so if people confirm that its a smooth hitter that would be a good piece to try.

The rattle cans are decidedly less smooth than matrix sidecars, but have better flavor. I go back and forth depending on the tastiness of the strain and the dryness of my throat. Some strains deserve the respect of the rattle can! Matrix would be the safer choice for problems with irritation. To make an analogy, the matrix is a glass of whiskey on the rocks. The rattle can is a glass of whiskey neat.

Yea so tbh I'm all for flavor but smoothness is something I want to prioritize. I'm using this strictly for medication with hemp/high cbd flowers Is the matrix sidecar bigger than the rattle cans? Also are the rattle cans loud, I figured it was just a name but it makes sense that it "rattles"

While the size of the canisters are similar, the matrix has a lot more air volume because you don't fill it up as much. The rattle cans have very little air volume because they are full almost to the top with water, leaving little space for vapor to collect in the can. This is an advantage when it comes to flavor because the vapor reaches your mouth sooner. Also, it isn't just a name, they make noise. Anyone on the same floor of the house will hear you hitting the rattle can, even in different rooms. Matrix is fairly quiet. Would not elect to use the rattle can with non-chill people nearby.
