@Dangus saw those purple ones and I am not convinced that you wouldn't end up with a blue one as that is the colour usually seen missing from that lineup. Also most of the other colours look unnatural. Most of the other coloured eggs I have seen don't have coloured joints so it could be legit.

If I accidentally get my order address wrong (moved back home from college) is there any way that I can change the final delivery address even though its already shipped?

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

Yea, I was iffy on it somewhat...but I have seen other shops with more colors listed than pieces shown in the photos... The colored joints do seem promising as well...but I don't think I need another egg quite yet...

Just noticed the Cnmeng egg priced jumped up a tad too...

Your best bet is to try and get a mail forward setup with the post office ASAP. I *think* this is the form you want to fill out - https://moversguide.usps.com/icoa/home/icoa-main-flow.do?execution=e1s1&_flowId=icoa-main-flow&

Try to do it fast so you can beat the shipment before it hits the US shores

Happy Friday everyone!

Rigged up the ultimate "get the fuck out of my face volcano, I'm watching TV" vape adaptor :tup:

Still loving the GB-194. One of the smoothest hitting pieces I own. Super heavy and a wide ass base. It's not even close to being tippy even with all the adaptors and volcano bag attached :D

Nice. Can you describe the adapter you use to hook up a volcano bag to this? I just ordered some custom adapters for using with my Herbalizer and Herbalizer balloons but I also use Volcano balloons with my Herbie. I prefer the Herbalizer balloons because they are easy to hook up to my glass just like your setup.

25-50% mark is only like 10-20 dollars a piece on most dhgate stuff and probably not worth it for resellers to keep a piece in stock and then take it to the post office plus deal with messages from customers. When I think about how much it would take for me to do that I would probably want to be making at least $50 an order profit. Then if you are actually being legit well taxes will eat up like half so I don't fault anyone for slapping a 1 in front of the dhgate price.

I could see resellers sticking around for a while as lots of instagram users don't seem super net savvy, though I have noticed more of the "top-tier" headshops talking down DHGate in attempts at humor so they are sort of spreading awareness. If not for that it is pretty easy for resellers to police their posts and block people who try to blow up their spot.

I dunno..... I think the markups we usually see on Chinese stuff is usually much higher than 100-200%. Sure Walmart, Target, Home Depot, etc, etc. all buy in large bulk orders and often play games to put Chinese vendors in a tight spot - but you know they're not designing, shipping overseas, shipping all over US, and putting anything on the shelf for $0.01 less than they think they can get for it. But, we don't see how that $4 bottle brush we pick up for cleaning glass only cost them $0.15 from China. With the glass we do see the starting price and some feel cheated. That's just business. Claiming something is different from what it is is of course wrong. But, from what I've seen the resellers usually don't even get into whether it came from China, US or mars.

If I were reselling retail I'd be charging as much as people are willing to pay. When sales slow down, have a special sale on whatever items just like every other successful retailer.

I've often wondered how worthwhile it would be to become the middle man for US headshops. Buy your pieces in bulk from China, rebox, and send to headshops for 50 - 75% markup. They'd still double the price and get what they needed. Would guess you could work out some good deals if going with just a few choice Chinese vendors and do OK without having to resell every piece individually.

Sorry.... but people that gripe about taxes and don't seem too certain on what they're talking about kind of get my goat. Taxes wouldn't eat up half. It would depend on how much you're making, and would be based on your profit (after cost, shipping in & out, internet expenses, etc) and no where near 50%. I guess it could if you don't know what you're doing. But, if you're paying someone like me to do your taxes you'd probably be damned close to a loss if not "losing" money and taking those amounts off your other taxable income. :D

Went ahead and pulled the trigger on my first glass piece from DHgate - the D020-x from the Sunshine store - http://www.dhgate.com/product/d020-x-glass-water-smoking-pipe-with-two/197326794.html#ctabBox

I will post a review once it arrives...

I'm new to vaping and need some help/guidance in how to connect it to my SSV. What type of adapter do I need so that my wipe doesn't get all kinked up attaching it to the male end of the glass?

Searched on ebay, dhgate, etc. - just not exactly sure what I'm looking for.

Thanks....:rockon:

Hey, total noob here. I recently bought a Sourwood UD that I'm waiting to get here as well as this bubbler here. Up until I get my UD all I have experience with is gel caps and flowers, if that helps solidify what a noob I am. First off, I'm confused as to the model names I'm seeing around here - is that vendor-specific or does the piece I mentioned earlier have one too?

Second, does anyone else have this piece? Can you give me any feedback? I'll write a review after I've tested it out and I've already bit the bullet (not that I regret that), but Chinese shipping is slow af so I want to get hyped before it gets here.

@ststeve I'm new to vaping too but I have a lot of experience with bongs. I'm assuming the whip has a male attachment, so what you would need is a 45 degree female to female adapter. That should prevent the whip from getting any kinks since it's a more manageable angle.

I don't know what the joint size of a SSV whip is, but if it's 14mm you'll need a 14mm/18mm female to female adapter, since your piece has 18mm joints. If it's 18mm you'll only need an 18mm female to female adapter.

Edit: You could also use a 90 degree adapter if you want. I just personally prefer the 45 degree ones.
