Have you messaged the seller or Dhgate to find out what the holdup is ? One weird thing about one of my other parcels is that says it went through a security check, which I had never seen before. Don't think it's time to put my tin foil hat on yet......maybe tomorrow.
Edit: @Bongologist You're probably right dude, just weird how it says its in my local sorting office though. SS shipped it out the day after I ordered it, didn't think it was weird cause they are usually great with delivery.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
noticed that Kathy just recently posted a FTK

This year it was February 7th-13th, although I'd expect the delays caused by it to stretch even longer. I'd hope that things would be getting caught up by now, but you never know.

Thanks. Yes... if like years past, things would just be hitting the states about now.

Also has anyone heard anything about the cobra can?
I just picked up a dirty ass M&M tech bubbler on ebay with a cracked mouthpiece. It hasn't arrived yet but it was definitely used for combustion..a lot. I hope it can be cleaned. Does anyone know where to find a replacement mouthpiece or just grab one from OGB? It's a 14mm male correct? I couldn't pass it up for $40 freakin Dollars even with the cracked mouthpiece. with a padded bag and an ash catcher too! (Don't laugh at my new Duct Taped Bubbler!)

Does anyone have any suggestions for a replacement?
I was between these 2. The Aqualabs is a little smaller but 1/2 the price!

Will the FC-UFO mouthpiece fit this bubbler or is it 18.8 vs. 14 on the M&M? If so i't might be worth just buying that instead.

The UFO mp is 18.8mm. I would roll with OGB. He does great work and is very communicative. Highly recommend.

Did any one see that Obama recently signed an antislavery bill? I wonder if this will have any effect on the China Glass market. LOTS of china goods being rejected by customs... entire ships. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...in-the-us-anymore_us_56cef7dee4b03260bf7591b2

If you bother to click through the article to the list of Chinese goods that fall under this list glass doesn't really fit into any of the categories so I doubt it.

Also, even as cheap as we get these things for - I'd bet manufacturers are realizing a pretty good profit in Chinese terms - and glass blowing/assembly is more of a skilled vocation. I'm sure we all have plenty of stuff that has been produced with the help of slave labor in China and elsewhere, but fortunately I don't think our cheap glass is.

Two more prototypes of the Cobra Can have been built. There are supposedly function issues with the prototypes, but it sounds like Steven is determined to figure out the problems and get it into production. I've asked for photos and a function video, and will share whatever I receive.

I ordered from Kathy on the 19th of January. Tracking just updated today that the piece arrived in Chicago. I dont know how much of it is due to CNY or Kathy not shipping. I probably wont order from her again.

Dabs are vapor too!
I feel your pain, but my orders (and those of other members) from her have been normal speed. Seems like you have bad luck with her. I wish Steven had better QC!

Yea... I havent had a lot of good luck with her. I may try her one more time... 3 out of 5 have gone sideways.. maybe I can at least get to 50%.
I agree about the FTK being a flavor monster, and mine definitely has developed a 'haze' of reclaim...lol

Just received the new Hydratube from SS this morning. Took five days to get to the UK including the weekend, why I love SS.
The piece itself stands exactly 24 cm's and makes a perfect seal on the Evo. It does require a lot of water to show the recycler in action. I did get water in my mouth on a couple of occasions- when trying to find the best water level for this thing. Makes me wish they made the neck longer or at more of an angle like the swagcycler -to give the water a chance to go back down. But I don't think it's fair to compare those pieces considering the price difference.
It does need a hydrafoot, should have been included. Still great for the price though.
I'm just getting in to glass so I don't know the specific names of percs and parts of the piece, so please excuse my ignorance . Will post a vid and some pics later, if anybody is interested please let me know.
Thanks for designing this @Bongologist and others.

Sweet , I am def interested in a video and pic of it with the Evo Please . Been waiting to see this piece in action but i am not a fan of having to use allot of water.
I may have just found a good replacement mouthpiece for my M&M, kept thinking about how this and the Sheldon black bubs were the only ones I could think of with the 14mm mouthpiece. Then I remembered this! I could get the Chinese Version and use the mouthpiece for both! It would be about $3 more than getting OGB's mouthpiece plus I get a six shooter. The little rubberband nub isn't needed for the M&M but that's ok I guess? Anyone have any experience with this guy or his mouthpiece?

I have waited to order the UFO from steven for over a year now- I watch this thread religiously and got very mixed reviews.
Very odd as it seemed he was taking advice from the user .... was it "rachett"?.... and was coming up with additional mouthpiece options, important to me as I am disabled and break everything-LOL!
Year later, he still doesn't sell replacement mouthpieces and his quality control has gone out the window.
How I wish a TRUSTED SELLER would offer these, may have to wait another freaking year for Steven to get his act together, or at least get sunshinestore to carry them, I'd order from her in w/o hesitation!
So glad I got the d020 from her, unbelievable quality for the price.
Such a bummer he's the only seller who has these, if sunshine or lumin8 had them it would be in my hand by now!!!!!
Rant over, back to quietly creeping.
Peace
