Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[Armerad]

Update for Hemping watchers.
I emailed Hemping - aka Zhang Kai - regarding the price and shipping of one of his highly desirable
Mai Tais. This was the response:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hello,

Sorry too late to reply to you.
About the sample price of HEMPING-NEW-2416-805-Full Double Mai Tai is 65 dollars, unit price is 60 dollars.
The freight need to be calculated separately.
I can't sell that kind of thickness, because that kind of thickness is very expensive, so I will do some new pipes.
Thank you, Zhang
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's not all clear probably due to the limitations of the autotranslator but it sounds like he's still in business and planning to operate outside the DHgate umbrella - which ofc has it's own pros and cons.
That sentence about thick glass being too expensive is a bit strange - thick is good Zhang!! - but $65 for the full double Mai Tai, even if the shipping is, say $30, sounds really attractive.

Anyway, looks like he's reorganising the business and it may be some time before he's ready for the market. If I hear anything interesting I'll report back.

What thickness glass were you requesting which they said was too expensive?

I didn't specify a thickness, it was just an enquiry about this piece:

Edit:
@Baron23
Base Diameter: 120MM
Base Thickness: 15MM
Yep, looks heavy.

Wow, look at the base and mouthpiece on that sucker. That's probably what he was referring to rather than general overall thickness....but I'm guessing.

But that base...looks like its a 1/2 inch thick!

Sounds the piece overall is heavy.
From my reading of that and reading a ton of foreigners, lol, sounds like the whole piece uses thick glass and he wants to scale it back to save on shipping.

 

[Armerad]

Personally I'd opt for the thicker glass, but that's just me.

 

[abcd5432]

@brainiac If there is a group buy, contact me please. I will be in. I want a piece of his now. Looks to be quite high quality for Chinese glass. Any interest? We could get a couple people together. I'll get multiple pieces if needed.

 

[brainiac]

@abcd5432 I'll let you know if it looks likely. Seems, tho, that he's going through a period of reorganisation atm. But, sure, I'll post any updates here.

 

[abcd5432]

Ok, ya Maybe he needs some help! :-)

But man those pieces look nice. I bet he could do a very good replication of the matrix perc.

Hey guys i'm looking for a piece with a carb hole, i already own a D020D and think about a piece maybe a little bigger, any Idea ?

That's what a real matrix perc looks like. I'm sure there are more details I'm yet to learn, but ya, his work is impressive.

How much were these pieces about again from this guy?

how tall? what kind of nail?

how tall? what kind of nail?

Im really new to this so i dont know the answer to those questions tbh.

I had my first dab yesterday with a friend of a friend, he had a small (6 inch?) bubbler, a torch and quartz banger. I would like a similar setup but the terminology is all new to me. I was hoping someone could point me to a cheap rig which comes with the banger and nail and get a torch from vapefiend. Im currently reading up on everythijng so i may have a better idea later.

I might think a little bigger to 10-11 inches for a ball rig.

But you can go smaller. If I was going to keep it at home I would go with the ball.

That's the problem. He seems to have gotten his website up and running before he's worked out his prices. Looks very much WIP. Below's a cut and paste from the site:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sample price: $0/piece

More than 10items price: $0/piece
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heck, at those prices I'll take 100

More seriously, I'll let him get properly set up, let a couple of other people buy from him first, see how that goes - and then choose a piece.

I meant how much did people pay during the last group buy if anyone remembers/was a part of that?
Just trying to get an idea of how many pieces I can buy/how much his pieces cost.

wasn't it about $137? maybe I am remembering wrong though

 

[RollTheCar]

I'm definitely down to go in for a group buy on some Hemping glass whenever y'all get around to that. So many good looking pieces on his website!

I know it's a little more expensive than dhgate but I'll work on trying to get a group of us together and shooting y'all details of the price.

Hopefully he responds to his emails I sent him one already.

 

[Oogendoogan]

Im in on a groupbuy of some hemping headys please add me to a list if anyone is putting something together! I would love one of those hollow bottom fab incyclers and also just one of the dope double Mai tai Klein. Let's do this shit lol! That hemping stuff is like Inexpensive China glass that looks better than most American stuff lol. I love it

 

[almost there]

Completely first timer question here, if an order from DHGate estimates 30 delivery will it really take a whole month? I haven't been able to track my purchase so no idea where the order is right now. Is this common when the tracking number they give doesn't track

More or less what's estimated, yeah. You'll receive the tracking number by mail once your item is shipped, and have to wait a little more for postal tracking

 

[SoDelicious]

If there is a groupbuy for Hemping Glass count me in! Just looked through the product catalog and those are some extremely nice pieces!

 

[MySega]

I asked on r/chinaglass but I'll ask here as well... Does anyone know of a decent mini/micro recycler that has female joint? I see the purple one floating around for $40 but the mouthpiece looks like a dong http://www.dhgate.com/product/purple-recycler-glass-mini-smoking-pipe-colorful/392466626.html and I am not sure I can deal with that lol. I was showing my 65 year old mother the piece because of the pretty purple color (she loves purple) and her first words were "That looks like a penis" . Any help would be appreciated.

 

[Armerad]

I'm in for the Hemping heady groupbuy
