update: yes they said 7-12 days on their ad. i placed the order on dec 3rd & received it on the 15th. so that was 12 days (not excluding weekends) to michigan. it was in about 6-7 layers of bubble wrap and a slightly crumpled cardboard box with chinese & a red "fragile" sticker on it. the shipping label does say:

no signature needed, postman dropped it off at door. always use a credit card so they will fight for you if it doesnt go your way.
it was sent to like 2 sorting centers in different chinese cities but i stopped receiving updates on the 6th. then suddenly i got an update on sunday (weird?) and it was delivered monday. when i got impatient and sent an email yesterday about the sudden stop of tracking update info, i got an email from "alina" to be patient from 12-20 days and to contact her if i have any questions.
the piece is very sturdy. there are a few whitish spots, but i don't know if thats because i already used it or if they were there before. its a great size because its small enough to stash but still feels like a "serious piece". it has a good solid base so it won't tip over easily. the mouthpiece doesn't feel flimsy at all and even has a bit of glass reinforcement. there is not that much pulling resistance & it looks easy to clean by pouring everything out of the mouthpiece (always rinse these out thoroughly before first use).
i like how it brings my stem session's time down from about 10-12ish minutes to about 6 min before i feel confident dumping the rest into ABV. the increased area allows you to really power through a stem in less time, which probably cools down the vaporizer quicker - so you have to do a balancing act.
i had one instance of splash back when i was pulling extremely hard and then pulled the stem off...the sudden influx of pressure forced some water up the angled mouthpiece. theres no need to clear that hard w a piece this small so i won't be falling for that anymore. splash back was also minimal & i notice this buzz is way heavier than im used to...but lately ive been getting more vaked than usual regardless so...
all in all, seller is called radiantglass and it was a very good experience. i wrote the seller and gave them their props., i recommend it for $25.22 i paid for it...if the price ever raises, try to refer them to my username. when alina messaged me back, she said you can get discounts for larger orders so u gotta haggle a bit if you are not impatient. i found them by searching for glass bubbler by lowest price looking for the one i wanted. i can see this one lasting me a very long time.
the air is in front of the solo.
i would say we can add radiantglass to the good guys list. i always wanted one of these rather than my cheap straight tube one. i went to about 6 different head shops looking for a straight tube as cheap as i could find one. the cheapest i found was for $23 out the door and it had a plastic removable base so i could turn it into a shotgun. i wasted about ½ a day driving around on that mission and it broke within 6 months. i spent about 10 minutes on dhgate to find & sort the list (i started searching because someone said you could buy cheap hydrotubes fro dhgate, then i decided to look at bubblers there instead), sign up, & buy it. then had to wait 12 days but its seriously THE nicest piece and one of the cheapest & highest quality pieces i ever bought.
in case anyones interested...sorry about the sound i was trying not to talk about it too loudly...
purchased dreambong now what. edit: this was my last purchase for about 4 hours of searching & lots of driving for $2 less than what was delivered to my door...its a no-brainer for me.
