Looks like a built in jar that might also work as a splash guard.CCG contacted me today and said my order has been sent out and that the tracking number is not false. tracking number still doesnt work. *fingers crossed*
EDIT. what's going on with this piece?

That looks like plans to copy this from 420Science - http://www.420science.com/Kargo-Straight-Stemless ... which happens to be on closeout for 25% off.
I really want one of these dabuccino rigs but i'm not feeling the build quality of the Chinese made ones. The downstem looks like a straight tube with no percs from what I can tell, and the end of the straw is lower than the nail and probably an inch away. I can foresee that little thing being very hard to use.So Steven has dabuccino rigs too.

The pic on his listing is a bit confusing, as it has 3 sizes:
I asked him about the sizing, and what the label situation was.
I was looking for your input my friend. FC members from everywhere have been posting, looking investigating; it was humbling too say the least. I am so proud that this many members want to help@LongIslandmom, so very glad to hear that you are clear.I know how terrifying an experience this can be, and the stress of it all can leave one in shambles. But now you are healing, let time and patience be your friends.
And I think you'll do better with your questions in this thread, a lot more glass specific info. Just keep in mind the very wide variety of vapes/users represented here - while some generalities apply to many vapes, there are also characteristics that may work fine with some vapes but less so with others. Not to speak of just plain personal preference one user to the next.
Revisiting a few previous posts . . . the "Atomic" piece posted yesterday by @PoopMachine on the EVO thread might be representative of a good candidate for you. The price is right, the circ looks sufficient for moisturizing, the volume is modest, and apparently the action is very smooth. It's actually somewhat similar to VXL's HydraFoot 2.0 (not currently offered) which I have, and it does a good job (but costs $100 more). Pieces like this sometimes have just a little bit of drag at the beginning of the hit when the water is initially displaced, but IME that is negligible.
How well the piece moisturizes is only going to get you so far; the other characteristics are factors, too. A medium-to-large volume piece requires more work from the muscles at the back of your pharynx and your larynx. Smooth action will feel more relaxed as you inhale. And of course your technique needs to match up with the piece, too.
About the water temp . . . I don't suppose you could ask your doctor? Hot water could be irritating to delicate tissues. And while warm water holds more moisture, it also opens the pores more in your throat and bronchi. A member here who had pulmonary issues asked his specialist about this and IIRC was told that it could increase the chance/severity of infection (due to increased tissue absorption). IMO it comes down to what your particular condition dictates, and only you (and your doc) can evaluate that.
EDIT: I see on the EVO thread that @JAM has found a DHgate duplicate (or so it appears) for less than $40. Might be the Chinese version? Anyway, here's that post:

Hyman Quartz is where most of the cheaper quartz nails come from.
Most of their AliEx items are wholesale only but this listing seems to be for a single nail.
I've never purchased from them, however.
edit: its only cheap shipped to Australia... shipping to US makes it highway robbery... one of the very few times it works to our benefit down here.
damn, I was just thinking about these... wondering how to turn my PN water tool into one... LOL
Ok so I am going try hot water to moisturizer and keep dryness down. It makes sense that's why people drink warm teA. I gotta bring my temp down as well, I gotta resist filling the bowl so much. I gotta practice using my throat muscles correctly. My target date is either Nov 4 or Nov 7. I want to have test this out once before I see the girls. My tolerance better be way down. If I wait till the 7th that more than 2 months. I may have started throat breathing therapy by then.L Isl Mom, you are looking at smoothest vapor for your throat. One element just as important as best water piece, is the best "technique" for your individual needs. For technique in a water piece, the best water temp varies by what is needed by person, is it vapor or smoke, etc.
I just dug deep and did my water temp comparison, back to backI sometimes do room temp water in my Mobius and sometimes hot water.
As I thought. back to back, the hot water bubbler makes for much much much "easier on the throat and lungs" vapor.
Why is that? Hot water moisturizes the air/vapor much more than room temp water does. Air/vapor that is too hot and/or too dry irritates the throat. FOR VAPOR , heat is not the main issue, it is the DRY DRY vapor. Hot water moisturizes it much better. For COMBUSTED herbs, HEAT is the main issue to so big arse bongs with huge volume , cool water, and even ice are great, but not needed for vaping.
I just did back to back. With room temp water, it's like a neutral/zero rating that vapor does not irritate the throat at all. With hot water, I'd rate a plus + 2. that it actually feels good/ like it is helping any dry throat issues. Just take a hit thru the water piece with microwaved hot water (with no herb). It's like a moisture bath for your throat / feels good. Not boiling but very hot.
Flame suit on, but try it before you input......
LI Mom, get a nice inexpensive bubbler and fine tune your technique (VapeXHale temp, water temp, bowl packed correctly, etc) and your BFF's will be waked and baked to perfection...... gair ant teed.......
Don't expect anything better than a basic straight downstem and you probably won't be disappointed.
Nothing to worry about. CCG's dabuccino is exactly as listed in all the pictures.
I wouldn't suggest people totally knock him off your list but be cautious as stated. My first and only order with him went as smooth possible. Ordered on 9/24, shipped out on the 25th, and received on the 2nd (I would've had it on the 1st but I missed the delivery).
StoneMonkey55. Do you see how many people are pairing their evos with other water tools and bubblers. You should take notice of this and work out an arrangement with the most popular master glass blowers and feature them on your site instead of having to say out of stock. Some of them are making them specifically for the xhale. Then you could concentrate on building a smaller vaporizer to take on the solo.This guy seems to have pretty good quality dabuccino rigs, but he has some steep prices ($75+shipping) and no feedback/sales.
