I own Kathy egg too and even though it is kind of ugly it has out of this world function. For some reason CCG only put 6 tiny holes in their perc so it has kind of restricted air flow. I have no idea why they labeled it bird cage perc and also didn't include any close up pictures of the perc but I am pretty disappointed considering the egg itself is outstanding besides these issues. It is like they nailed the hard part and messed up the simple shit

Damnm..

Got a d-cycler, vertigo, and ccg egg on the way..

Kinda pisse at myself lol

Atleast if there shit i still have my whole steven order to look forward to. Hopefully a friend will buy my ccg pipes for below what i paid if they are flawed. When i tell them i have a pipe for 50$ they shit themselves lol.

Also just bought a triple bore stem8 from SG, i couldnt resist. Wont be seeing much of it tho since this is fc, i was mostly fc for a while but enjoy combistion sometimes

I got ccg to make an no accessory option for the 12" fab eggs for about $52. Although there seems to be a concern with the way CCG handled a defective egg. Hopefully they fix this issue, as I too will wait. Come on CCG $10 refund for a defective product at least replace it.

I actually do want to scare people about the clean and clear glass eggs. Mine not only has a crooked joint but I can't even use it with any of my gong or honey bucket. The joint support kind of protrudes into the joint slightly and does not allow male joints full entry. Therefore terrible seal.

Here it is with Hymann bucket above and gong below. FC-711 on right for comparison

I contacted CCG asking for a refund or replacement and they said that I could get $10. I suggest everyone hold off on their orders until this is sorted out. If they don't make things right I will boycott them for life.

I got my egg in too.
My joint is straight but there are lots of machine marks here and there.

So my quality is decent and everything is fairly straight but the perc is horrible.

The holes on mine are tiny do there is a ton of restriction. Almost more than the pillar recycler and that's saying something!

CCG I feel like is doing better but they still aren't very reliable and their customer service isn't great. They also can't seem to have both function and quality. You either get a nice quality piece with a shitty restricted perc or a bad quality piece and a decent perc lol

The Kathy egg hits way nicer. But I do like the female joint and the much more stable base on the CCG piece. I wish I could make them have a baby. It'd be perfect haha!

@blankrider's piece definitely deserves a replacement or refund.

I guess from now on if you get something defective, that they may not see as a defect worth a full refund or replacement, then smash it before contacting them and say it arrived broken. I know it's not completely honest but in blankriders case it's essentially unusable and is the same as if it were broken. It's kind of dishonest of them to post nice pics and good videos and then have no quality control and send out crap that is defective or unusable.

I see where your coming from but I just don't see us recieving great low prices like people are use too and/or demanding. If we are promoting to break something that isn't broken, that would be part of the raising costs, I assume? Maybe I'm wrong, but like I said I definitely see your/our side, but I also see it from a sellers perspective too. That's part of the glory of this forum. We get a bad piece and review it here, then if multiple people seem to agree or confirm. Maybe we shouldn't be so quick to jump on new pieces until reviewed? Maybe setup with Steven to send to @blankrider test pieces and he confirms reliability, but even then you could get a bad piece bc @blankrider certainly isn't Steven's QC or shipping Manager. So ya :hmm:

:2c::peace:

My egg was fine so it seems to be more of a QA issue. In this case, the piece is "broken" since it does not function as advertised and it should be replaced either way whether the customer smashes it into pieces or not.

I have been quietly considering 2 different CCG pieces. I have stopped considering them. The bad piece I got from Steven as a replacement for a broken one has already made me gunshy. I am now just gonna hold off for a while and see how this all works out... ;( If I WERE to buy something right now it would only be from SSS or Yingmin.
If the chance of getting stuck with something shitty is the price we will pay for cheaper glass, it may be too much for me. But that is just me, YMMV...

The problem is the "return" part. I remember someone in here had a problem with a piece from Kathy and DHGate considered it resolved when she agreed to a refund/replacement if it was sent back at customer cost. If you paid $30-40 for a piece it could cost nearly as much to send it back to China and it's not something that can be repaired in most cases anyway.

In Kathy ' defense!

I had a Crack on a joint. Took photo and sent a email with a jpeg attachment.
10 day's or maybe less I had a new perfect piece.

CCG just gave me a refund on the two eggs I ordered last night. They were able to stop the order before the shipment went out, which made me happy.

While I never said a word about @blankrider or his recent egg issues, Cynthia made it clear she was trying to work things out with him beyond the $10...which was nice to hear.

I'll wait a bit longer. In time, I may reorder. Thanks to all for the quick initial feedback on the 12" eggs.

I finally got around to looking closer at my CCG egg (I just did a quick water test earlier).

The joint support on mine also goes into the female joint slightly and only allows two of my gongs to work. A 14mm male to 18mm female and my e-nano 14mm water adapter gong.

The rest, including my drop downs, can't go into the female joint far enough to make an airtight seal.

This piece is just about on the useless list for me :bang:

I may take my Dremel tool and grind down the joint support on the inside of the female joint but if I slip I'll probably crack the joint :\ maybe I'll give it a go tomorrow when I'm not medicated.

Glad CCG is taking care of things.

I was feeling lucky so I took the diamond drill bit to the joint problem :D I shaved off maybe 1mm if that and that was enough :tup: it works with all my gongs now.

Perc is still super draggy but lower water levels help. Still sucks to clear like @Monsoon said! BTW Monsoon, did your CCG egg have the joint support issue like Blankriders and I?

Make sure you have a steady hand if you try this!!!!

Guys, if you plan on doing your own cold work on glass, at least keep the worked spot and the tool surface wet (and cool). Also wear safety glasses and a protective mask. This reduces the chance of a catastrophic failure and protects you from the fine glass dust. :2c:
