Hey guys: someone linked to the Wtoshop188 store above and after perusing their site I just pulled the trigger on this SQUARE, HORIZONTAL bubbler!
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/glass-large-pot-three-legs-blue-core-filter/194338349.html
Didn't wake up this morning thinking I'd buy anything like this but hey, for 30 bucks I figured I'd give it a shot. Thanks to the poster who did the leg work on finding this one. Who knows, this unorthodox approach might be just the thing for us vapers (note how it has a gong and a hose attachment!). I'll let you all know how it works once I get it.

I have enough friends in real life to help me buy a 12 pack of GB187's so i'm gonna do it. I will plan to sell 2 or 3 here on FC classifieds when i get them.
I messaged yingmin asking if they can come without logos on them....
Also i bought a D020-2-W to be a travel piece, maybe i should have bought a different one for that purpose? OR maybe i should have bought 2? Also is the D022 18mm or 14mm? the images on the store don't say...

18mm
I opened a dispute to get my money back, it was more of a tactic to find out why Kathy wasn't answering my messages, and it worked. She hasn't send it yet after 13 days, and is asking me if she can send me a different color, I said no, I told her she lied so I asked for my money back. She could have told me at the beginning she didn't have it, and I could have waited, or choose something else, but no, she opted for a lie, so now I'm asking for a refund.

Some members have had good experiences with Kathy. Mine was like yours. Personally I dont give people like that second chances.

Kathy is OK.
6 weeks some items.
5 days some.
She's at the mercy of the manufactures.
I have enough stuff to keep busy between orders.
In western culture honesty is apart of our cultural compass!
In EASTERN cultures they have have a different compass!
Patience is a virtue!
Spend more if you want it now!
I can have a nice piece for $300 this week or $30 from Kathy and her time frame!

On the subject of buying multiple rigs, FWIW Sunshine has 100 of the D022 made. I hope he sells them all. I think he has been the most reliable, I used to deal w/Kathy in the past but I have noticed a lapse of communication from her.
I have asked numerous times about the double inline rig that appears to have open end percs.I asked her to take a look ,she replied OK will do. Waited a few days (4) and hit her up again on what the status was and no reply, waited again and asked for the 3rd time and never heard from her again. Crummy way to treat a returning customer.
Mike Lee steps up and communicates well, ships at warp speed, has now been making function vids and keeps numbers low for the time being.I would rather support some one like him who WANTS your biz, not one that makes a weak effort at satisfying their customers. Lee seems really motivated at single sales and Im sure he sells large lots also,so this guy knows how to run and gun with out a doubt
Kathy IMO is a bit unreliable and not able to manage her customers wants,to each his/her own on using her, S.S has most of anything you need and if he doesnt he seems amiable to try to get it for his customers. Yingman5 seems to know how to manipulate, and thats a part of doing biz with the import mkts I guess. As one poster had mentioned,"surprised most of us have had a pleasant experience", and for the most part we have been pretty happy with the merchants who have been relieving our GAS pains.
I cant make anyone do a thing but may I suggest to try not to cave to the higher prices,Im sure these vendors will move like a stadium wave to higher prices if we start buying them.It will be a domino reaction and one day you'll click on and all import glass will be 70+ dollars for what we were buying for 28-35 bucks.
Then for the most part I for one will look at USA glass. The run of China glass will be a thing of the past once it starts moving in an area of comparable numbers to USA glass, well at least for me. Great artists like @Jhan Pixel, the 2 new glowers who have been pumping out the recyclers will get some of my coin,I would imagine they can blow some nice vapor or dabber rigs. We shall see. Lets hope our biz contacts do monitor these forums and see we are your demand and if you should mess with the numbers on the supply side, oh well ,hope they have use for a lot of glass paper weights.......

I find that when you come across a reliable and trustworthy vendor it is worth sticking with them. I try to be mellow but I tend to become enraged when people lie and/or mess with me financially. I will still try new vendors but i really love Sunshine Store. They are so consistent and I value that highly. I had a good experience with a new vendor recently. I bought 2 Pax copies and 2 pairs of Beats headphones. Excellent service, speed and quality. I dont care if I lose a few bucks but it is the time and energy that really pisses me off.

Considerjng how many china pieces ive seen in literally every lhs ive been in, id say we really dont have much buying power. The markup is so insane and im sure way more people go in thinking holy shit thats way cheaper than the name brand stuff. We are lucky and thats it. Get it while it lasts.

I too am opposed to higher prices.
That being said I would like to remind everyone here how lucky we are to have found these affordable pieces available in singles through these reliable sellers.
There is a HUGE population of smokers in the market for glass who are unaware of DHgate. Take a second and go on Instagram and search for #glassforsale and I guarantee that you will see a few sellers offering and selling these pieces for triple and quadruple price all day long.
They are even doing live auctions on there. Just last week I saw the mini inline to triple donut and the current high bid was at $115! That rig sells for $25 shipped! I was so disgusting by it that I made a comment that it was a lot to pay for a $25 rig and included sunshine store link. It was awesome seeing how many people retracted their bid and tagged their friends to see what I had done. I am sure the seller hates me but fuck them, they are lucky I don't do that every day.
I wish I had taken a screen shot to post because the seller removed that entire posting. By the next day there was already a bunch of new overpriced listings and auctions in progress with other poor smokers getting dooped

All of you are hitting the nail on the head. I guess for us, we will always be slightly a head the game. We can migrate to North American glass when it gets ridiculous. Most of the younger posters will be like me (an old fart) by saying ,damn remember when we used to buy Import glass for 25 bucks
. I will admit, I think I will always be attracted to glass but as of lately I have been looking at some of it and feel with the scientific stuff,it goes to a level where you try to own as many diff percs and styles (bent neck, straight tube, side car, dewar style bubbs, mini's) and as of this moment Im thinking OK get the recylers and for myself I think Im done or at least rehab will make me think that way
.Then I guess the recycler thing will kick it up and there being diff styles with diff percs I could stay addicted in that area of glass. aaaahhhh nucking futs
But I have now 16 rigs,goes up 2-3 a month or sometimes more and I understand the bro's who are into worked and heady art. Its art and those guys use glass as their canvas.Some of @photoriders rigs are just mind blowing,we are talking some serious artists I DONT CARE WHAT COMMUNITY OF ART SNOBS THERE ARE, THOSE DUDES HAVE KILLER SKILL SETS AND ARE WITH OUT A DOUBT VERY TALENTED ARTISTS,with that glass there is no end in sight,but in the import mkt glass,Im soon coming to an end or I should say, getting bored and although even if you get up to an easy 1000$ worth of import glass,its but a drop in the bucket compared to buying the originals. I guess the import blowers will eventually get really good at producing knock-offs,we may be buying $100 dollar pieces with the quality of the $500 originals, and then my GAS addiction will be awakened and the cycle starts all over again..........and again...............
