Just because I've done this and almost forgotten and inadvertently placed larger than intended orders, DHGate does let you build lists of items to look at later (you click the little heart next to the "Add to cart" button. The UX is obviously lacking compared to, say, Jeffy B's site, but its a safer way to "bookmark" a ton of stuff.

Yes exactly, when you go to order, you check things off of your cart to check out, so the cart is not like a normal cart... I also like how the payment doesn't get released to the seller until you mark it as delivered...

Apparently, I "won" my dispute over the rattle-less "26cm Tall Diffusion Pump Bubbler", even tho they can't view imgur vids... which is kinda creepy. I guess the pics were good enough... We went back and forth a few times and Jane tried to say that everyone asks to make the hole smaller... I just told her it's sealed and then filed a dispute (I didn't want to argue anymore, it was obvious) and they immediately agreed to a replacement. Honestly, I could've won a couple of other disputes but I never bothered and really didn't want the sellers to lose $, so I figured out a way to live with it, but this was too much.... what's the point of putting a bead there if it doesn't friggin' DO anything...? Sorry, but zero QC is unacceptable...

Hopefully the new one is a little more holey.

Nice, easy to do before you release the payment, I already released the payment with mine so I feel like there's nothing to do unfortunately... I feel like the replacement could also be hole less so I am curious what you receive, I have resigned myself to just having the pump without the rattle, but yeah kind of shitty... Making the hole smaller, so small that they got rid of it entirely?? Jane reply to me about the black marks from the welding too, and offered me the 5% off next time since I missed out on the sale, but yeah I feel like there's no point in me telling her that mine is missing the hole now as well...

I might get on to Yinmin and get them to make a goose-neck version of the Rattle Can the same as I did for the standard unit after seeing all the QC problems with Stevenimz/popular glass (still QC problems with Yinmin but not as many?)
Just got a half dozen excellent mouthpieces in yesterday from him.
Ordered June 26 so pretty fast to the states.

When you're all out of dabs and all you have left (other than disty and flower) are remnant live resin carts:

(the little chunk of silicone "adapter" works surprisingly well...!)

Never ended up going last week, and we had to bail going to Community Bonfire this weekend, which really blows cuz there would've been tons of great "deals" to be had, no doubt... hoping to shoot up to "Vacationland" tomorrow or Friday morning at the latest to restock... :tup:

Just thought I would let you all know that at this moment Botanic Choice CE is on sale for $7 with free shipping. This is the best deal in a while...


There is a code for the free shipping... BCFSNOW
Good looking out, @cybrguy!

Can't be running this colorless distilled water in the large inline like some peasant!

Ya know, I have been seein that little stubby VC adapter and it is interesting. Is it being sold or is it a DIY?

You can answer this over in the DV or IH thread if it seems more appropriate...
Meh, its appropriate enough, I suppose... afterall, it's a gong stem that's used with all my "Cheap, high quality bubbler(s)"... :nod:

The stem pictured is one of the two Ole Stubby stems I own by O'Connell Woodworks with it's included orange rubber washer. I also slipped one of the many chunks of silicone that was given to me by @DDave, along with two "Water Wand" prototypes (retired) after I handed him the whole idea back in early '18. I've never really used a DV port much and prefer a little water conditioning so I don't need anything more like dimples or whatever... in fact, the shorter the better, as it's less to clean.... :tup:
I also use a 14mm male to 14mm male stem/post adapter that's a little longer (and therefore easier to manipulate/spin) and heavier, that came with the Dabbing Warehouse bubbler kit. It luckily perfectly fits a DV tip... these three stems are the mainstay of my current flower/DV use, as I rarely consume it any other way these days.

Speaking of ash-catchers and keeping in spirit with the thread, I busted out the old $15 5-arm (x 3-slit) tree perc ash-catcher/j-hook "bubbler"... smooooth (a little too smooth, in fact):

3 colorful caps of Cornbread and 3 uniform shades of brown... which one do you prefer? It's all within your control and couldn't be easier. Pass-through USB-C 3.0 amp charging is a beautiful thing (with a 6' cord)...! :tup:

Edit: and here's the entire 11 "man" crew ready to go:

Most paid out of pocket piece...? The $88.60 Goo Roo Glass 'Welded Tater Tot' was $2.60 more than their '3-piece bubbler with removable downstem".

There is something inspiring about the ISpire and I think I would be a customer if I didn't already have 2 Pipes IHs. The temp control is very attractive as I think a slower heat up may be a good thing.

It looks like you have thrown a M to M on your GooRoo 3 piece so that you could use that fat mouthpiece stem with it. While I love the GooRoo mouthpiece, I often use a different MP as well to get a little further away from the piece for a better view. My 2 GooRoo pieces are also the most expensive pieces I have other than a recycler that I rarely use.

I've spent a lot of time playing around with different heating methods and ultimately ALWAYS go back to low and slow heating. Even with torches, I ditch the triple torch for a single every time... I am sure it is subjective, but it seems to me to produce a better heat soak, longer draws and more complete extraction.

I do an infinite spin, focusing the torch on the lowest possible portion of the cap.

No doubt a lighter gives you the most control and I do tend to use them when out of the house, tho now with a PSM that does sometimes go out with me. But at home I rarely use the torch cause my IHs are so fucking easy. I would like to turn down the PSM a little tho, and adding the flat switch cover that Pipes sent me may well do that. I'll have to see over time...

I hate that I NEVER use my Portside mini... something about it dulls my click and makes it not noticeable, making temp control a total fucking gamble. All my caps are double-click caps, and sometimes I can slightly feel the first click, but more often than not, all clicks go unnoticed. :puke:

For me, the only real benefit to IH's are really the aesthetics- how much easier it is to maintain the finish on your cap if you never torch it.
