This is only the DHGATE stuff.
I'm with you as far as feeling!

@ataxian What is the piece in the top middle back row?

It is something to tree with bent neck

 

[FUnhouse]

Relax!

I want the D020-2W and will order this one next.
I would use a 18mm female with you 18mm SOLO GonG or a 18mm x 14mm female and a 14mm GonG.
Think LEGOS?

I already have the gong was just going to get i 18mm f to 14mm F adapter or an 18mmf to 18mm f depending on what i pick .

 

[ataxian]

@ataxian - No offense was taken. I was just trying to get my point across, like you were yourself. The purchase price isn't a question since I already bought it. Is 12.95 an absurd price for the J-Hook I linked to from the Toronto Hemp Company? It seems like a decent price to me even though I have heard some complain that HOSS glass is over-priced.

I break glass so much!
I could buy a more expensive piece however I would break it so whats the point?

For $22 I buy a 5 pack of JHOOKS for my ASH COLLECTORS. I look at it as disposables. In fact I plant to order a another pack. Tubing I can't handle?
Wish I could!

@ataxian What is the piece in the top middle back row?

$36.48 from Kathy's store!
I love this piece.
It works better than the other nail rigs with my TI Domesless Nail.
It works well with a SOLO as well.
For the LOTUS I need to use a glass extension piece for clearance.

Why is the LOTUS so wide?

 

[PoisonousHydra]

To me that looks like it is 18mm, hard to tell without something for scale. The one you linked is 14mm, but it looks nice. They do have a 18mm one though.

Both the male and female ends are exactly the same size as the wand on my 2014 Da Buddha. Since it takes a 14.8mm screen, I assume it is a 14mm wand. Can someone confirm this?

Well I might be doomed or just sceptical but since I never got my shipping tracking number (knowing a race was on with Lezi) I wrote a quick email to find out and got this respond......

Dear friend,

We are very sorry to state that the sample has not yet been shipped owing to the reasons given below:-Firstly, the artisan was down with fever and was away from work. When he started working, he took a long time to make the desired sample.

Secondly, the sample which the artisan made is not found upto the mark and he has been strictly instructed to make a quality product. You may appreciate since it is a craftsman job, we have to depend on these artisans badly. This is a great handicap for us and inconvenience to our valued customers who rely on us and give us a good amount of trade deals. In such a situation, we have to suffer and lose the most.

We hope, you will understand our peculiar situation. It is, therefore, we request you to please bear with us. We assure you that we are on the job to dispatch you the desired samples at the earliest because it is in our interest.

Thanks and regards,

So what do I think of all this....

The first one is obvious: Stick to what/who you know, (Our dear Sunshinestore up above, Hey welcome welcome), but then you'll never discover new stuff, so sometimes a risk has to be taken...or does it...

The second one, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and be a little more patient but for how long

Be aware of this company!!!!

Well well its been quite a while since the all tornado multiply order saga that went pear shape!

But I'm afraid that this one did not turned out quite well either...in two words I was promised a tornado bubbler (paid for) that never showed up or even been produced, so at the end I did engaged into a complaint with Paypal (when I think that a the beginning, the company (Dhruv Export (India)) did not even have a Paypal account) I was the one suggesting it to them, and what a great thing that was cause to cut a long story short I have finally been reimbursed by Paypal!

Anyway all this blabla to warn you all to be aware of this company:

Dhruv Export (India)

The owner: (Manish Goyal)

 

[PoopMachine]

I know some of you guys have been asking me about the local glassblower I met. I finally got enough pictures of his work to start his own thread.

I picked up a second 135mm wigwag from CCGlass. In some ways I like it more than the first one, in some ways not as much.

You can see at the base where the wigwag got away and crept up the side a little.

But it's all made up for on the reverse side of the knob. Hey @sasNW meet the poor man's version of your worked black-and-white recycler..

Edit: I read somewhere that instead of worked glass, the colors in the cheaper pieces are made from glass-encased pigment . Does anyone know if that's true, and if so, how to tell the difference?

Ok So I need help deciding

This DO20-2-w
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/d020-2-w-glass-water-smoking-pipe-with-two/197326134.html
Or
http://www.ioffer.com/i/14mm-con-no-bong-waterpipe-grid-perc-sidecar-long-mouth-575834120
And why

Or other suggestions .
I need a sidecar or something with a similar mouthpiece because I can no longer bend my head down enough to get the best out of my straight piece .
Also
I am using a Solo and a 18mm male gong so I know I need an adapter although I would rather go without .
Any advice is appreciated

I wouldn't touch that iOffer one with a 10 foot pole...
It looks like it'll be overly chuggy, and I can almost guarantee you'd be inhaling a crap tonne of water...

I was using my d020-2--w for the first time last night - and its a lovely little rig
I kinda wish it was like 1.5 times bigger, but its a nice piece.

 

[weenstoned]

Got my YQ-42 from Kathy today. Arrived 2 weeks after I ordered to Central Canada. Hits real smooth, but as others have said not a great vapor piece.

Glad you posted that. The top of the perc looks about 10mm below the mouthpiece hole... Glug glug.

 

[Frederick McGuire]

Just got 2 new pieces in from kathy

Got the double barrel recycler, and
http://www.dhgate.com/product/new-recycler-glass-bong-with-bowl-and-oil/194746333.html
10mm Klein rig.
http://www.dhgate.com/product/new-come-10mm-mini-glass-bong-mini-water/196103970.html

Build quality on both is impressive.
I can't notice any flaws, and the welds are all smooth.

I was worried about the shape of the Klein rig, the second picture on the listing looks pretty janky, but its nicely shaped and I quite like it.
I'm not the biggest fan of natural percs, but I can't see how to add any diffusion to the piece without inhaling water, so I can see why there's no perc in there.

I'm still trying to figure out the right water level for the double barrel...
I've had it with the bottom barrel pretty much filled, but it almost seems like it might need a bit more than that...
It doesn't seem to really recycle much as far as I can tell, but I definitely notice the water level on the return drain bouncing up during a hit, so I assume at least its regulating pressure a bit or something...

C'mon kathy, get the barrel to funnel recycler.
I can only find it from Btoc for like $70...
$70 is still pretty good value for a piece like that, but its a bit more of a significant purchase... At $30-40 its almost like spending play money

Thanks. Now I. Between the do20w--2 and the d20 -w
I like the mouthpiece on the w2 but I need to get an adapter (18mm f to 18mm f)
Don't like te mouthpiece as much on the w. looks hard to clean.
Thoughts?

 

[Delta3DStudios]

Thanks. Now I. Between the do20w--2 and the d20 -w
Thoughts?

Which mouthpiece do you like more? I have both, it's a tough choice - which GonG do you need - female or male?

In my mind, I seem to prefer the D020-W for fresh flowers to preserve better flavor. And I like my D020--2-w because there is more diffusion when vaping reclaim soaked cotton. Overall, I feel my D020-W see's more action than the other one, but damn I hate the phallic mouthpiece!

That is the olny thing I dont like about it. Do you just hate the look or the function ?
I have a 18mm male gong. So I would be ok with the w.

 

[Frederick McGuire]

The d020-w
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/d020-w-bubbler-glass-water-percolator-smoking/187455071.html
Feels like it has a bit more restriction to the draw, and has a bit larger overall volume.

The d020--2-w
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/d020-2-w-glass-water-smoking-pipe-with-two/193620248.html
is a bit smaller, has a bit more diffusion to it.


I much prefer the open mouthpiece of the d020--2-w, over the closed style of the d020-w. I think its the closed up style of mouthpiece that adds to the drag?
It really comes down to personal preference on mouthpieces. I really don't like the closed style where you put your lips around it. I see it as a negative on any piece I own that has it, but I'll put up with it If the piece has other factors I desire. Having said that, there are some other members that feel the exact opposite to me... So personal preference.

I prefer the form factor of the dewaar joint on the d020-w vs the side stem of the d020--2-w


I'm really hoping yingmin comes through and makes a sidecar ion clone.
I really liked it with the standard bubbler mouthpiece, but since I've got a matrix ion, I'd never really use it so I sold it to a mate.
If there was a sidecar one I'd be on that like a fat kid on a cupcake

I feel the same about the mouthpiece and the joint.
I'm now leaning toward the d20-w. So I don't need an adapter and get a bit more flavor with less diffusion. And just hve to deal with the mouthpiece. It it that bad?

 

[blankrider]

ATTENTION ANYONE CONSIDERING THE BLUE LIP D020-W-2, it has a completely different mouthpiece than the clear version. The clear version is very comfortable like stated in the post above. The blue lip version is not near as good IMHO

 

[Frederick McGuire]

got a link to the blue lip one?

My d020--2-w has blue discs, but a clear lip, so I'm assuming that means its the clear version?

Bad? Not necessarily, I just don't like it.

For me, a bong is supposed to have an open mouthpiece that you put your lips inside, anything else feels weird and undesired...

Have you tried a closed mouthpiece?
You may actually like it

Edit:
@flotntoke any chance you could post a pic of your d020-w widened mouthpiece?
Did it help with the drag of the piece, or is that being determined by the perc?

 

[blankrider]

Here is the blue version. I have owned both the clear version and the blue version and I much preferred the clear. And yes the clear version still has blue percs

I haven't. But I think I am going to give it a shot.
Is it hard to clean?

 

[Frederick McGuire]

I use PBW to clean my pieces, so as long as I can get the PBW and water into them, cleaning isn't too hard

I really like my blue piece.. the mouthpiece is kind of weird tho.

Do you have the strain PINEAPPLE KUSH?

I need to clean however maybe tomorrow? I use PBW as well!

 

[Tweak]

Did it help with the drag of the piece, or is that being determined by the perc?

I'm 100% certain that the small opening of the mp is the cause. The D-020-D perc fires fine w/o any drag.

Would love to try what flotnoke did but I don't have the guts.

Is it hard to clean?

The d-020-w?

It isn't hard to clean, just takes forever for the water to drain through the MP. With other pieces you just fill and dump, the D-020-w just trickles out.

Edit: And for the record, I don't mind the MP. It helps me keep my pace with my pull. Going back to less drag pieces I forget what I'm doing and pull too hard, using all my breath in like 5 seconds, lol.
