Welcome to this thread @Dazza78! Look forward to seeing you on FC.
GH, you forgot, it's have my cake & eat it, too!
And if one can afford to, yes, it should be served on a silver platter. Good post!
ataxian, this is one of your best posts, IMO.
Might be able to have my cake and eat it

Had this 150 dollar vaporblunt dlx 2.0 for couple of months and it was fantastic with such free air movement, also what I noticed it that it would clean much easier then my cheap hydrotube
The cheap hydrotube off Dhgate I had for over 2 years, that thing has been dropped so many times but the thick glass keeps it safe, but the problem is that it NEVER gets cleaned fully!
Sadly the nice expensive one broke when I was shaking it wit some salt/iso solutions in it
The perk just snapped and broke
But I won it here on FC in a stickybrick labs contest because I would never myself spend so much money on glass

Shout out to this dude and his Mooby's shirt! haha!
I stayed up the other night watching Clerks 1 / 2, lol
Great vids man, keep it up!
The point of this thread is to bring the silver platter to all in an affordable but quality way.
This is my current DHGAS

and heady GAS
https://maddabler.com/collections/honeysuckers-1
Mad dabler had 40% off recently, worth keeping an eye out if interested as that narrows the gap between China production and artisan production to a pretty manageable amount.
It's probably a noticeable step up in quality I dare say.
@Hjalmark that sucks you snapped a perc with only shaking... Not a good sign of quality regardless of price. Which is a pity, I've seen that DLX tube on SBs sticky brick insta page, and it looked really decent.. I'd have expected it to be much more durable.
Was it just the internal tube inside the perc that broke? I had that happen with a DHgate honey sucker, lasted about 10 mins

Yeah inside perk that just snapped while shaking it, if I would have bought it then I would definitely contacted the seller, most been a fault in the glass as it was not the first time I been cleaning it
But I remembered how easy the glass cleaned compared to the Dhgate glass I had before
Edit: I won the hydrotube with my Stickybrick

For me @Summer it's MEDICATION these daz's!
Humor is good for the HOMO SAPIENS.
I need more CANNABIS to be CIVILIZED!

It is of high enough quality & it is a noticeable step up but still affordable enough even at full price.

Oh, I don't know. Affordable is relative I guess. His mini 7" straight fab sells for about $425. CCG's 9" sells for under $50. I can't compare and contrast their function tho people seems to love the CCG one.
I'm not saying Mad Dabler is overcharging or anything like that. But there is no doubt for me where I will be ordering from when/if I finally act on it. Nothing against MD at all, I just know my bank balance.
Added: Looks like I might have to go with the 12" to get an 18mm joint, but it is still under $50. I WOULD rather get the smaller one, but I need 18mm.

For me, China glass is an affordable means to an end. For a simple, clear piece it's hard to beat the 'gate. For anything truly heady though, support your local glass artists! I think they both serve a purpose.

I love what you wrote because it true!
Thas right! (GSC = STRONGER than usual?)
I can be creative with this stuff!
KINE FUN!
@lazylathe you can keep up!
OGB is my mouthpiece (small)
One day it will be standard? (500 - 1000 year's = CIVILIZED)

That is a very fair point. I was referring to their honeysucker range for $150 full price rather than their fabs. I rate it as good value since it strikes a fine balance between price & quality. CCG is one of the more consistent vendors on the gate & I have been tempted by that 12" straight fab they have going. Looks like a great piece especially for the $$. The point I was really making is even if you spend $150 on a piece it is still relatively cheap in glass land. Then again some are more clumsy than others with glass as I have only broken two pieces & a dozen downstems & bowls from my smoking days the last decade.

I should probably get one of those snakehead mouthpieces just to try it out. All of my MPs, free standing or on rigs, are flared or just straight glass.
I am certainly not a glass maven or anything. Most of my pieces are in my sig, and you can tell they are mostly utilitarian. Nevermind that someone just the other day said "Why do you have all this glass?"
The honeysucker piece you are talking about has some colored glass (love purple glass) and some horns (?) in the can, so are therefore more "artistic" in design. There is value in that, of course. It just isn't that important to me, and is still about 3 times the cost of the similar pieces I have that are plain clear glass.
What I WOULD like and IS worth something to me is the idea that a piece from a US vendor should be perfect, and if not they would make it so. I don't expect that from my Chinese glass, and indeed have a flawed perc that I would not accept from a US vendor. But that was on a replacement for a piece that came broken and since it worked I didn't have the heart to make him send me another. If I had paid $150 or more I wouldn't have thought twice about returning it.

Absolutely NOT. You provide among the best entertainment in this thread, besides the knowledge you impart. Keep on keepin on, Brotha.

I have a D020-D which has a female 18mm going into the base. I wanted one where the female 18mm was behind the base to use with my drop down reclaim adapter to get my d-nail a little lower and farther away to make it easier to dab in. Also I want to keep my concentrate and flower glass separate. I was deciding between the D020-X and D021, I ended up getting the D020-X. I do like it and it works well, I kind of wish I'd gotten the D021 instead though.
With my drop down reclaim adapter on there it tilts backwards when I go to hit it. Not enough to fall over really, but it just sort of leans backwards when you try to put your mouth against it. Pulling too hard get's a lot of water up the mp, you do have to pull kind of hard though. Also water somehow get's spaced out, some on the top disc, some on the bottom disc, then some in the base with air pockets in between them all. Then when I tilt it or mess with it it will all kind of slosh back to the bottom. It kind of... chugs(?) too or something, not quite the consistent smooth pull of my D020. It's also very narrow which isn't really a negative I guess... it's just a lot narrower than I thought, it doesn't take much water to fill it. I just keep coming away from it feeling like something isn't quite right. I looked online and checked how much other people filled it, but I might need to check again. Hopefully I'm not being a jerk about someone's favorite glass, I think it's just a lot different from my D020. I do like it, just not as much as my d020.

I have a D020 I love actually!
You have pretty glass.
I keep low profile so I'm not noticed? (sheath)
Maybe it's a behavior defect?
We were super cropping out side before it was vogue.
Nice glass you have!

I was thinking today .. Looking at this mess
It doesn't come much cheaper
12 dollar hydrotube, garden house piece, silicon tube piece, enano straight stem with a broke bowl, plug for multimeter prop, aquarium air hose piece
High
..quality-ish
Airflow 10/10 like a thick ice cream smoothy that been in the freezer for a while
Not safe for asthmatic or the elderly

Funny. They even used one that is out of focus. Like us after we use it.Maybe they thought without some GSC in the pic we wouldn't notice whose pool deck that was...
This has been at the top of my rotation this week...
HAPPINESS + CANNABIS + CHEAP WATER + VAPORIZER = CIVILIZED
