If I had to choose between the two pieces I would go Alina all day. The mp style and placement and polished slits are cool but not for more than twice or three times the price. Plus look at the joint, the slant on the top pic is no beuno for a vape, even with that low center of gravity, snap. The joint on Alina is straight up, I can rest my Nano on top with ease and my LSV violates this beauty with no tips as well. This piece gives me confidence in Alina's other products bc it's very clean and uniform.
Hey
@SSVUN~YAH! Glad to see your input
Mine doesn't have the slanted joint when I ordered from GPM. It is perfectly straight like Alina's, luckily
I like straight over the slanted joint for most of my rigs.
For a vape,
@SSVUN~YAH is right, Alina's pieces is definitely better cause it looks like the mp is longer too. I use it for oils cause this piece is a little too small for my vape preference. I like em bigger for vapes and smaller for oil rigs.
The ioffer price of $110 is outrageous. Go with Alina's.
For me though, I do not regret paying over twice as much 6 months ago when I got it. I guess I see the steeper price as a early release and quality fee lol.
Many of the dozens of DHgate pieces I have bought have had small flaws (uneven cuts on the perc, not fire polished, crooked joint and mouthpiece, wobbly base, etc). With most pieces it's not a big deal, but with a few pieces I would gladly pay double the price if the quality is perfect cause that still would be wayyyy cheaper than the brand name. I love the GB-187, but the mouthpiece was slanted to the right and the dewar joint wasn't centered and the top of the van wasn't perfectly flat. It stood out next to a few other DHgate pieces I have that are luckily perfect quality. I sold it cause I couldn't stand it anymore
damn me trying to be a perfectionist with "cheap quality glass".
On another note I'm so happy to see recyclers popping up and knock offs of c2 and mothership!! FINALLY
