Did you end up buying one of those D020 from the AliExpress link?
Mine hasn't shown up yet, but I'm not too broken up since people are saying that seller is selling a 'knock off' (lol cant believe it spawned knock offs) and not nearly as well done as the original DHGate D020.

Doh. :D

I have one, they call it LY003. All in all the glass seems reasonable well made. I found afew air bubbles between the mouthpiece and the body, otherwise pretty clean. The perc only has 5 thick slits, instead of the 10 the D020 has. Can't say if its better or worse, don't own a D020 but its nice. Actually the LY003 in combination with a EV-2 converted a combuster so it can't be that bad.Still, if possible I'd say get the D020 for proven quality.

Has anyone had any luck with Sumbudddy's glass from ioffer? They are not very responsive to questions. Has kinda put me off buying from them. Anyone bought some off him and can tell us more?

Well luck, I orderd one of the triangle recyclers. At first the seller seemed a bit lazy, asking me to accept the offer before he'd check out the shipping costs to europe, so I did it myself. 2 day later he wrote me a mail that he couldn't ship my item because USPS had to order the flat-rate shipping box he was gonna use to send my item, if I want it right away I'd have to pay another 20 bucks. Told him no way and that I'm gonna wait, he wrote back that he would give me a free TI nail (that I sadly have no use for) for my troubles. Package should go out by the end of the week, will keep you updated.

Long time lurker, first time poster... I picked up that beaut yesterday afternoon, that might explain why it was taken down. :) I'll post an update when it arrives at the end of this week. Can't wait to see what the rasta reversal looks like in person, listing says it comes with a matching reversal bowl also. I'll be pairing her up with a Vapor Brothers and MFLB. Can't go wrong for the price!

My matrix perc tube has arrived from Sumbuddy on iOffer! Here is a pic of the worked matrix perc and the slide (not that anyone would care on here :D), it's not the cleanest work in the world, but for the money... I am very happy with the piece for $110 shipped. Hit like a champ!

So after 12 days of not sending my Perc-HC out I asked Kathy whats up. Instead of any answer whatsoever, I got a tracking update telling me my package got just picked up and is now on its way. To Italy. A country where I do not live.

:doh:

For the people who wanted to know if the sweet DoZo handles Dabbing well...

After having a fun fun weekend :science: making did Dry sift, Bubble Hash and some super smooth and super transparent BHO, I can confirm that it works a real treat with the D020!!! Wish I had bought two for sure.

The DoZo certainly has the Mojo when it comes to Bho :clap::tup::rockon:

Finally my HC bubbler finally came in from Kathy Hu!

The Aliexpress delivery took 3 weeks in total though to be fair it arrived one week ago but there must be some sort of slow logistics in Australia. Packing was pretty standard if not a bit under packaged and could be prone to breakage if not handled properly. The bubble wrap was the type of lower grade end.

There are some scratches and distortions on the glass due to reckless treatment of the glass during the making process. Compared to my ssfg tube it is clearly subpar in terms of build, pull and polish.

The HC bubbler hits well and is quite heavy for its size, the size of a soft drink can. It's definitely a bang for buck piece but I wouldn't pay much more for it considering the length of delivery and cons mentioned.

Me too, from Kathy Hu, a little bit disapointed cause the size is smaller than expected (16 cm and i remenber it'w written 23...),
this is the toro counterfeit (I think) but I never try the original, this one work but i don't think it was a good choice....... but for the price(26.50 usd) I can't expect to get the better.

Take a look into your order history. There should be a link to the product site. This is actually a link to a snapshot of the product site. Check if the sizing was really wrong and if, talk to Kathy about it. I had a similar issue with another trader (the D020 knock off, LY003) and after some back and forth he knocked 15 bucks of the total.

Link to the snapshot when I bought it: http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6026553601.html
Link to the last state of the product: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Blac...cher-percolator-free-shipping/1658259241.html

Notice the differences in GG size (18.8 in my link, 14.4 in the other). Kathy actually wrote me a message that she got the size on the connector wrong and offered to switch out the item. The height didn't change in my snapshot.

So Apollo shipped me that recycler even after I emailed them to cancel. However, they emailed me apologizing profusely and said I could refuse it when it showed up and they would refund me. They also said if I wanted, I could unpack it, try it with water in it (No product, of course) and see if I was satisfied with the vortex and that if I kept it, they would give me a discount on my next piece but that if I kept it to try, Id have to pay the freight back if I didnt want it. A few minutes later I got another email with another apology and they told me to take it out, try it with water and if I dont want it, they'll send me a shipping label.

I cant complain about that. It stinks it got sent out but it will be here before the weekend so it will either be in actual use or on the way back by Friday. I cant say enough good about those guys. I think they're going to be my "go to" for glass even if I return this recycler. Their quality on this other piece I got rivals anything I own and for $125.00, you cant beat it with a stick.

The second email sounds like the only one they should have sent! Very good customer service and communication there. Looks like you really found a seller you are happy with. I was looking at the first piece you got from them for a while...thinking about pulling the trigger on it next month...I reeeally would like to see a video of that piece in action from someone!!!

I just tracked my DHgate package and it was delivered this morning at 4am :doh: I wish I knew as I would have checked the front of my house before I left for work....but at least I have toys to go home to. :evil:
Click to expand...

Ok, I got my toys. My D020 has 10 slits, I thought I counted 11, but no it has 10, hits very smooth, fits in my hand REALLY well. I used it with my Pinnacle Pro and it was super nice smooth draw, percs fired well and it purred like a kitten (I swear, the performance of the PnP could rival some desktop plugins:mmmm:). D020 is a winner for me. Plus, it's SO CUTE!

Helix Pipe, I also used it with the PnP, it cooled the vapor well but I couldn't see much thick clouds so no visible vortex, I did get vapor when I exhaled, just couldn't see the intake. I plan to try it again on a higher heat setting. It's really just a novelty pipe so far, even if it vortexed vapor well I'm not sure how long it would keep my attention. Maybe as a handpipe used with its bubbler attachment connected to a whip.

All in all, I'm very pleased. The glass was packaged VERY well in Atombomb proof bubble wrap, it was a lot to unpackage, but worth it for no breakage. All pieces seemed decent quality, some slight imperfections but nothing bothersome, funniest thing was seeing the faint but permanent thumbprint in the depression of the Helix's flattened mouthpiece tip. Plus I ordered on 3/2 and it came today 3/12, 10 days to the East Coast USA, impressive. I've ordered domestic stuff that took longer.

I'd post pics but too busy right now, maybe later. I'm not supposed to be posting so much right now anyways :evil::evil::evil: (self imposed break) but I owed you guys a report on my DHgate purchase. Thank you to all the pioneers who paved the way in this forum.:clap:

Hey... it's a technical video. I didn't think anyone would be interested in the rest of my blanket backdrop, I assure you it's gray. It also allows you to view the piece at a higher resolution...

I always shoot vertically. I showcase the piece, not everything around the piece that doesn't matter.
