VAT number isn't required in the states :doh:

Just ordered my first China glass. Got a starbucks cup from steve and the V2 2015 sidecar. I hope I get a nice piece! Almost ordered 3 to make sure I got a nice one!

Also got some ashcatchers from sunshine store too.

That is all.

My baby layer cake arrived. Ordered on the 2nd and got it on the 16th down here in sunny Australia. It was inside a foam box that was wrapped in bubble wrap. No chance of breaking.

The quality is pretty good. A few small bubbles in the welds but barely noticeable. Almost too small to use but gives great flavour.

For under $15AUD I'm extremely happy :D
Which vaporizer/s do you plan to/or can you use it with? Just curious...I'm thinking of getting something small for the Grasshopper in the future, and would be cool if I could also use it with the Vapman. I may go for something like this or a small hydrotube (like the PNWT).

You can always take @BoogerMan's patented approach - buy 3x copies of any dhgate glass you buy, and keep the best of the bunch, resell/gift the others

Haha I can't believe you remember I do that! It is almost a guarantee to get a near perfect one with this method.

I bought 3 CCG d-cyclers and I'm sure glad I did. First one had a small dent in the base, second one had a base that wasn't compeltely flat so it wobbled a little, third one PERFECT :tup:

I just bought 3 Kathy eggs just a few days ago. Hope one is good. Looks like I might have to keep two since a few members have said how fragile they are.

I also ordered one of the female joint eggs from the seller kaite2012. I really hope the quality is good because I only ordered one. It's hard for me to order multiple from an untrusted seller.

Let me know if you have any luck. I think this egg would be a nice addition to my EVO and Herbalizer with my modded adapter.

Basic gist of the conversation:
(Items are only available in lots)
Me: if like to purchase a single item

Kaite: ok, see this listing http://m.dhgate.com/product/fab-egg-mothership-glass-water-pipe-double/231721626.html#pd-019
(Link to single item sale)

Me: that's a high price, I guess I won't be purchasing

Kaite: how much would you pay? I am a new store and would like more customers

Me: *Link to kathys egg and mention its price point* ideally it would be around $50-55.
The most I would personally pay is $65

Kaite:
OK. You are a very good business man surely. I never give price less than 79$ to customers who buy single one.
I agree with your $65, pls advertise my store to your [c]ircle of Friends. thank you in advance.

Pls place order firstly, do not pay money, do not pay money. I will see your order and change the money into 65$, and tell you, than you pay money.

So it will be $65

I guess place an order, and mention in the comments you know "FrederickMcGuire" and would like the discount to $65.

Hopefully they'll be nice and some nice stuff will come from this seller going forward :D

Edit:
@BoogerMan wish I had gotten the info on this discount a bit earlier, could've saved ya ~$15 :)

She can expect to lack sales then? Unless you post a function vid and its amazing. Ive seen the kathy egg on IG it functions so similar to a regular one. People say its fragile but how? I dont plan on dropping or hitting it into anything

The only broken one I've seen pictures of so far had cold seals on the reinforcement weld and the downstem/perc connection. Not much force needed to break that.

That said, the first thing I did when mine arrived was whack the downstem and the reinforcment weld with a (rather heavy) pen twice to make sure I didn't get one with a cold seal. (Do not try this at home).

Not a fan of Kaites egg design. That mouthpiece sits awfully low imho. Good luck tough.

First of all I just want to thank you all for posting videos and reviews of all of the different pieces. I've ordered a fc 710 thanks to this thread, and have a kathy egg on its way as well as this bubbler

Also I see that there's a new recycler available from the same seller that looks interesting.

*edit I ordered the bubbler last night from cleanclearglass and It already shows as shipped. My kathy order from 2/28 shows shipped but has not arrived. My fc710 from steven ordered the 2/28 arrived last week.

Vortex: Yes
Function: uuuuhm...

Restrictions are great at making a vortex, not so great at actually supporting the recycle function. I feel there is a big missunderstanding on how recyclers work. This is a very extreme example. Notice how the bottom chamber gets emptied because the restriction on the drain is to tight.

Good function, no restriction, no vortex. Watch those bubbles get recycled without getting popped:

OK I messaged her and asked for a $15 or $20 discount to be one of the first to try this out. If she comes back with a discount I will take the risk and order.

Think that's what it comes down to for most. IMO a piece that didn't have that issue but costs 10 times as much probably wouldn't be 10 times as good. ;)
I am starting my journey into China glass so I apologize if it seemed like an unwarranted complaint. You get what you pay for, but China glass lets me try the top of the line bubblers for a fraction of their price. You guys gave me a great idea about buying in 3s, but maybe I'll take a gamble and buy 2 of each so I can pick the better one and donate the other

I think i was the first to order it. I also asked for a lower price, but i accepted $80.
Kathy's eggs looks horrible IMO and the other eggs on DHgate is over $400, so i think Katie's eggs is well worth the price when it costs approximately the same as Steven's FC-187, at least with shipping to Europe.

I may end up buying even at full price. I'm concerned if this egg will be stable with that small base. I plan to mount EVO on top.

Not that I need another mini piece, but these micro double barrels look pretty tempting:

FYI - this seller has added a number of other things today as well, but I'm a bit short on time to post it all...

Cheers
That seller has some seriously weird and freaky stuff... :worms: :huh:

Mostly this, which i'm pretty sure was conjured out of a few of my childhood nightmares:

This one also stands out from the crowd a bit:

Also, I really don't think these guys get the draw of either the dabachino or the baby bottle rigs:

I'm at least relieved that they didn't forget to include bok choy and the Eiffel tower... :hmm:


Also, I've seen this one before but I hadn't mentioned it here: I've never seen any other piece on DHgate that's being used and/or has claim built up in it:

My fc187 v2 came in today and looks great. Had a few sessions with it and now I understand what all the hype and talk is about. I never thought glass was that important, but now I understand why ppl pay hundreds of dollars for the originals.

Have i asked anyone if they have links to cheap high quality hydra tube alternatives? At the value Dhgate sells glass something i could use with my vapexnail would be nice. I haven't bought a new HT in years but im itching to get something else similar cheap if j can find it

The only HT type glass on DHgate seem to be the 14mm PNWT knockoff, and a few nectar collectors.

I haven't seen anything in an HT format with an 18mm on DHgate in the past few months of searching. I think your best bet is to try and find an up-and-coming blower to make you a piece. I remember Doughboy Glass made a few really sweet hydrotubes for a fair price (still nowhere near DHgate prices). Sadly Doughboy is no longer making custom glass for us, so that's not an option

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

@IAmKrazy2 & @Ratchett

You can actually get the nectar collector in 18mm:
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/14mm-or-18mm-honey-straw-nectar-collector/214191697.html

and in 10mm here:
http://www.dhgate.com/product/14mm-amp-18mm-domeless-titanium-nail-we-also/199837747.html

haven't seen the pnwt in 18 yet though...
