GB-187 arrived yesterday. Yingmin5 packages things even better than Kathy and Sunshinestore. The outer box was even wrapped in bubble wrap! This puts me 10 for 10 with my dhgate orders arriving safely and in a reasonable time.

I'm incredibly impressed. For use with my E-Nano, it's the best yet. Thanks to everyone who pioneered the cheap Chinese glass before me.

I don't think I can ever have enough glass... LOL looking foward to seeing how those sidecars turn out. :D thanks for making it happen! I rarely use the 187 or D020-D very often, but do pick them up once in a while for a change of pace. I find them a bit limiting on which vapes work best on them, due to how close to the face they are, but they work really well on other points. Just rotated back over to the D022, after taking a break from using it, and really enjoy that piece over many of the others. My 14mm kathy recycler gets a lot of use, as well as the sidecar honeycomb perc piece, which tend to be favored. I try to work the 10mm mini's into the rotation once in a while, fixed up a stem that fits into a globe to use the HeatIsland on the 10mm so I'm not just limited to dabbing.

still want that double vortex, I vist the page often to look at it. I wonder if they only have the black accented ones, would love all clear. It may be a little while before I can make a purchase so maybe they will get more in stock by the time I can get one. I am soooo hooked!

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Mine is 'out for delivery' :brow: Hoping to get some pics and video up tonight...

@NorthernHuskie welcome to FC. I might be more excited about you joining us that anyone else because I believe we are in the same town.

The sidecar matrix is being made with a 18mm female joint so it should be easy to use just about any domeless nail. I recommend a quartz banger or a honey bucket for the best dabbing experience.

For a small travel rig I recommend this recycler from Kathy http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/new-small-bong-mini-water-pipe-pocket-glass/190893367.html it is simple, solid, cheap, and a highly functional dab piece

@blankrider Thanks for the warm welcome bro and I think we are too. Small world huh?

I'm assuming it will come with the male-to-male adapter then? I have a ceramic domeless right now that I absolutely love but I figured if I could use the male part of the universal it would keep the sleek look of the piece instead of adding all the extra height.

That looks gorgeous. I saw the previous post of the mini worked bubbler by CCG but the review also said that CCG has burned some of the forum members so i figured I'd ask before I impulse bought the first rig I saw.

@whitecastle If they have a male joint they're more purpose built for oil and female is more purpose built for flower. But theres always adaptors you can use to smoke your oil / flower out of any rig.

Every female piece I've bought from Dhgate has included a male to male adapter, a glass nail, and a dome.

@whitecastle because male pieces are the 'in' thing right now. China is simply following the general trend in glass (concentrates are gaining in popularity across the country).

When it comes to China glass, never assume the glass is purpose built. Many times they build pieces to copy a design from a brand name, without truly thinking about how it will work. Sometimes percs are installed completely wrong, or in the case of tree-style percs - the bottom of each branch is usually always open, leading to poor chuggy diffusion!

Why are there so many pieces with male joints and not that many with female?
As @Ratchett said, the Chinese vendors don't tend to build for function, they build for what will sell.

Most vendors seem to have a few standard honeycomb straight tubes with female joints, but any of the more intricate stuff seems to be oil rigs, as they're on trend.

Also a factor to consider:
Oil rigs tend to be way smaller then typical flower pieces.
For these Chinese items, shipping seems to make up a significant portion of the overall cost, so maybe they're just drawn to reproducing smaller models for the lower cost for them to ship it?

@Ratchett Oh sweet thanks for clarifying, some rigs showed the attachments and some didn't so i wasn't sure. But my bad, I'm still new to this whole Chinese glass market game. I was just going off previous experiences with glass I've gotten from my LHS.

I know that the glass wont be as professional or polished as a well know glass maker (Toro, Mobius, Mothership) but I would LOVE to see a halfway decent seed of life perc:love:

Well considering the Mothership Seed of Life percs are laser cut, I doubt we will see any Chinese knockoffs any time soon
But they might be able to do something like the SGW waffle perc, which is very similar

@photobooth yeah thats perfect! I knew they wouldn't be able to make the exact seed of life but I was just looking for the concept.
Heres the SGW Waffle

But another option that might be able to be made the the future would be Sovereignty Pillar Perc
Seems like a Disc / UFO perc upside down connected to 4 tubes that lead up to a built in recycling chamber? (Just trying to think in terms of how they would build this)

Like I said before, I'm nothing close to an expert on Chinese glass. I'm just throwing out random ideas that I would love to see become possible however unlikely.

Any links for bangers/domeless quartz? Looking for my first.
 
MuushuPork,

It's here! :D

Came nice and clean...no scratches, bubbles, and the glass is nice and smooth...and she included the 14 to 18 as requested. It does vortex/spin in both funnels, but the water level has to be kinda high...but works well with the adapter and LSV.

Pics are a bit lousy...and I self filmed the water test with the front-facing cell camera...so quality is low...but hey, I figured some initial stuff is better than nothing.

Cheers!

This looks interesting...

Something tells me that there will be a lot of splash back from the D021.
