So I decided to give clean clear glass a shot. Picked up this piece and received it today.
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/ccg-2016-new-arrival-glass-water-pipes-glass/378838356.html

Had a few shipping issues but they still got it to me pretty quick. Everything is great about this piece except for the way it hits. There is some strong draw resistance on the first pull. Never experienced anything like this with any other rig or bubbler. Also there are a few scratches on the perc but they are very minor. I really want to like this piece because its thick, sturdy, and looks awesome but the draw resistance is such a turn off that I don't want to use it.

I totally understand dhgate glass can be hit or miss but damn it sucks that this doesn't perform well.

Edit...I'm not sure if this is a design flaw or just how the jet percolator hits. Anyone have a jet perc and do you experience significant draw resistance before it gets bubbling? All my previous bubblers have been sidecar rigs with 4 hole slit percs. Very simple percolation. Not sure how to describe it any better....I've just never experienced this before.

Do you think the dimensions are correct on the Hydrabomb clone? To me it looks like it might be a little too short. :(
yeah I just got mine today and that looks short, which worries me because on the legit one you have basically just enough room for it to stack and not go into the moutpiece, like there really isn't much room for more water. Hopefully it works.. Would love a backup and idk about the triple honeycomb one.. Anyone have it and have any problems? Or has it been good?

NANO today {D022; FC UFO; FC 186; Black leaf?} better than hydro-tube
EVO tonight

Let me know how that thing works man. I have the hydrabomb and love it, but something that would hold more visual vapor and had maybe a little restriction would be nice. If it functions well I will probably order because it's cheaper than an official one.

Really excited to hear reviews of the 2way rig. Going to place order pending a good review...
NANO {D022; FC MOUTH-piece; FC 186 and some others} these work!

The new Mouth-piece I just got I need to play some more?

I used my custom made hydro-tube I'm way to medicated to make an assessment! (EVO)

Tomorrow more assessing!

One thing I learned is Super Silver is knocking me out?

Thinking about getting a peyote pillar.

http://www.dhgate.com/product/sover...s-water-pipes/371589054.html#cart_view-5-null

Would an ash catcher be a good idea? Thinking about this one, reminds be of a peyote button-
http://www.dhgate.com/product/2015-new-style-glass-ash-catcher-swiss-perc/246394457.html#pd-019


I purchased their original "inspired" peyote design. I feel as if the original design was quite big and required massive lung power. The new one looks more like the peyote vs original design which is more atractive.

I ended up purchasing a mini version with the same function.

Less lung power and flavor is more pronounced.

It works well , has a small bit of drag , perfect for the nail's if you are using it with the Evo. That is all I have used it with so for and some flowers. It def works better with the nail due to the slight drag. I happen to really like it for the price and feel you cant go wrong. It def beats spending $150 on a vapexhale tube imo when they havnt been delivering 100% quality as of lately.

I know your the expert concerning glass.
The first hydro-tubes were terrible. (my POV)

My custom HYDRO-TUBE works unreal.
The new ones are lame. (Don't waste your $'s)
I tried to have CHINA make one how ever they just copy stuff that has a track record of selling.

My GAS is cured and I wish you all the best!

Local CUSTOM here in CALIFORNIA is the way I'm going.
Function is what I'm seeking!

You can have looks??

FUNCTION is CIVILIZED (don't listen to me I'm ranting)

I am no expert , I admit the 1st round of hydro tubes were not my cup of tea. This new style is working for me though & I like it allot , $400 + for the real version and under $45 for the copy , I don't have to worry about breaking glass , traveling with it and it functions well. I am happy. If you could get a nice local custom made for under $50 than I am all for it. I have 0 problems with the function of it for the price , the 1st two that came out is a different story. They copy them bc that is what the people want , a affordable option that is a proven design. That doesn't always work out so well with copies and sometimes they are shit. The best part is if they are shit you didn't spend allot of money for it and it can always be given away or even a case can be started for refund if function is not proper.

From the videos it seems like the CCG is pretty close in restriction to the real Toro. I think the real Toro Jet Perc actually does have a little restriction, but not too much. See the blue one in the video, that's the real one. It has some restriction. I have the Hfy_glass one and it has much less restriction, you would probably like it better to be honest. See my videos of that HFY glass (Phoenix glass) one in Slyme below that. It has a similar design and a nice easy pull. You can compare the toro, HFY, and CCG from here and see if yours has more restriction. Try less water, the CCG tester in the video has way too much.

I would say try with the nail if you have 1 , it works perfect with it imo , decent with flowers , it has a tiny bit of drag. be careful filling , fill slowly trying to make sure no water gets into the bottom chamber bc when it does I found it a bit of a pain to get out. I try to be nice , I had my coffee allot earlier than you as I am on the East Coast in NY. No French Roast , that's fancy , I like the bold , nice and dark strong cup. You are nice also in the afternoon :lol:

I wasn't picky about stuff until I lived in FRANCE.
Now I pick everything apart?

During the 70's we had ZIG-ZAG'S and no BONGS.
I never could use a BONG because the big mouth piece?
It seems very PRIMITIVE.
6 large JOINTS the size of your middle finger per day was normal.
COLAS was a SURFERS preference.

FIELDS of COLAS (female only) we killed the males.

Glass with a small mouth piece made it CIVILIZED.

LARGE ASH COLLECTOR'S with a SHERLOCK (JHOOK) is CIVILIZED!

THIS is why I need custom because no one gets it?

? did your piece come with a stand?

No stand , I bought one from jojowoodworks , or forum member @StickyBricks , really nice with a the joint being rubber so your glass tube doesn't clank or break against glass .

Thanks for those vid links! I couldn't find the CCG function one for the jet perc. Anyways, you're right...the Hfy jet perc seem to pull much smoother. Or has much less drag....that was the term I was searching for. I think I'm going to return this for a refund or might look into exchanging it for the fab egg. The drag doesn't seem nearly as intense as the jet perc. Anyone have any experience with fab eggs from CCG?

Inspired by @ataxian, for those like to add smaller restrictive mouthpieces to the mothership-style pieces (and probably others), check out this 50¢ deal: http://www.vaporstore.com/proddetail.php?prod=mouthpiece-2nds. For being so generous we should buy out their inventory.

I use a bit of silicone tubing for the seal, layered however thick necessary. Great for social situations and so cheap everyone can have their own. Also worth saying, the smaller opening and resulting mouth embouchure presents more flavor on the inhale if that's what you're after (I switch back and forth).


[If I was more creative with pictures, here's where I'd post a shot from my morning sesh with some great books. In addition to Hitch's, I'll suggest another reading list from Sam Harris on his website.]

That is way cool.

My favorite writer is Christopher HITCHENS.

Carl SAGAN, Richard DAWKINS, SAM HARRIS, STEVEN HAWKING, Albert EINSTEIN are up there as well!

Medicate and Study (reading) is what I do!

I bought 10 mouth-pieces.
That's the size i love.
I will use inert material with a hole drilled in it then insert the glass mouth piece.
Funny how I think a bigger or bell shaped mouth piece is PRIMATE SYTLE!
CIVILIZED is better!

ADD: @Justpassedu do you have MENDOCINO HOGS BREATH on the EAST COAST?
