not a bad suggestion, half the price of the illadelph.... but unfortunately, it is still quite costly as the beaker is not included in the conversion kit you linked. It is $260+ shipping to complete this order.
HAHA, I love when @ataxian tries to link http://aqualabtechnologies.com/ . It's something different every time but never right. Usually the mods correct it for him, Thanks for the laughs man you crack me up!

I just received my first order from DHgate & it arrived with a hairline crack at the bottom where the perc joins the base & leaks water. Sent this pic to the seller & I only noticed it after cleaning it when I filled it & water leaked out. Hopefully there will be a lack of fuck around on this front. On the good news front it took 6 business days to arrive.

On this and various questions about quality above.... This SUCKS! But, it is all part of the Chinese glass game. Seems sometimes a simple email will get you a replacement, but more often it takes a few griping emails. Crooked perks and mouthpieces and all the rest is just par for the course, too.
You may get lucky and buy 10 pieces with no issue. You may be unlucky and buy 3 or 4 that all have issues.
All to be expected when you're buying knockoffs/clones of pieces that often cost 10x more. Same as buying knockoffs/clones of any other product from Asia.
If worried about this, go to iOffer and find a decent US blower or two. Prices will be much higher, but not so much as higher end glass. Be alert on iOffer and other places for glass that looks EXACTLY the same as what you find on DHGate. More than a few out there who just buy in bulk from DHGate and resell at a big markup. Same glass, 2x or so the price, but get it quicker. Some sites seem to sell both, and prices usually reflect quality, with the same expectations on quality as China for the cheaper pieces.
If neither of these work for you, your best bet is to look for used glass at a slight discount or just buy the original pieces at anywhere from 5x to 20x the price. If you're looking for high quality, perfectly blown and assembled glass without imperfections and a better chance of no problems that's what it costs.
Such is life! Pay the piper or take your chances on sloppy quality and larger problems.
IOW... you get what you pay for, same as with pretty much anything else. You wouldn't expect schwag you pick up for $100 an OZ to be the same as primo that goes for $500, would you?

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
I don't think that's the case. Looks like I can place an order as per usual...

For sure I am well aware of the risks @flotntoke when it comes to buying Chinese glass. I gave this vendor a chance as their products appear to be significantly higher quality than most other DH vendors & certainly more expensive.
The piece otherwise seems to be very well made just the luck of the draw but I will give the vendor a chance to resolve it & only became apparent after filling. On the flipside I think the piece is too small anyway so I will be ordering a different one if offered a replacement. Worst case I lose $70

Some people on Reddit, were asking for a function vid of Kathy's new FTK so I made one-thought you guys might be interested to.

Your vids are easily becoming my favorite. No sides, just meat and potatoes. Bravo Sir.

Thanks dude , really appreciate the compliment.
Have to say though only started making videos because users here like @ShayWhiteGrow, @Stu , @cwheezy , @Likes2vape @Cannabis Connoisseur and the few of yours I have seen.
To get back on topic- really tempted to buy that new CCG incycler.
Would really appreciate if any of the users here who have purchased it would post a review here when they get theirs.

I saw location but thought it was misguidance. I bought after that post as well and with CC.
I think it was Banks and Debit cards IIRC.

Nope... Never seen anything like that!
Kidding... Probably one of the most universally loved pieces on this thread with various names/numbers from different vendors.
Don't know anything about the vendor you link, though. I've had good luck with this guy. Price is a a little higher, but I'd go with it or a similar one from one of the other relatively "trusted" vendors in this thread.

I got home from work today to find thedutchmistress dabbin on the mini fab I was waiting on. Ordered on the 4th so I'd say that's pretty good, the little thing rips like a champ and tastes awesome but I must say nothing has been able to fill the void in my life left by my en4cer being knocked off my kitchen table and shattering on the floor. There isn't anyone on dhgate the makes one is there? I've looked around a little but I haven't found any, maybe someone could get Steve or CCG to make one?
Are you talking about this one? I was just poking around and saw it. Looks like it would be a nice desk/travel piece and a little smaller than what I currently have. Don't want to bring out the nice pieces too often heh...

I can't solicit away from classifieds. But if you're interested in unloading a group of China Glass I might be intrigued
I have the same piece, and all I can say is it is built to last, very thick and nice too.Are you talking about this one? I was just poking around and saw it.

I don't know why it doesn't get more love around here.
If you get it, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
It gets loved by me
I enjoy mine as a travel rig in a little pelican caseHey guys, If you don't have a PWTA or F-Bomb already I highly suggest one of the sub-$15 PWTA on DHGate. I have been LOVING mine with the Haze in the car and on the trails. I keep the haze in my backpack and just hit the PWTA from a hose
Best $13 ever I wish the F-bomb was cheaper I would get the real thing.
I wonder where this guy is sourcing his glass? I'm sure it's Chinese despite what he claims but it sure looks better than my GB-187!

Anybody know how to edit a review posted on DHgate ? Only asking as I gave Kathy's FTK 3 stars for having a fast return and no vortex effect- but with more water their is a slower water return in the chamber and it functions better, still no vortex though.
I was on the review page and I could see the statistics for my reviews just no option to edit them. Feel bad only giving it three stars for my lack of knowledge on the water level.
I also posted this on reddit and people were commenting on my water level being too low, thought you guys might be interested to.

@mrbonsai420 That GB-187 looks exactly like Stevens but without the Logo, even the mouthpiece looks the same size . I've heard people say that Steven just sources his glass from other factories, so don't take my word for truth.

I know there are several variations of essentially the same design. I saw somewhere (can't remember or find it now) of a comparison pic between the 187 (from steven) and the one I previously linked...tl;dr stevens 187 didn't look as good (aesthetically) and the poster said he preferred the cheaper one.
Just thought I'd ask to see if anyone here had personal experience with it.

Thanks, I'll hop on it then. Looks like a neat little oil rig, my banger will be right at home on it I suspect.
