Holy shit..........or should I say unholy hair?

That's a text book example of thermal fracture in glass if I remember right.

Oblate mouthpiece from daimoon..........$31.38 delivered was just a bit too much to resist and I like the blue.

Be careful, have had 2 rigs with that style of joint and they both broke after a few months of use. The tiniest bit of pressure can just cut through that weld like butter.

Well, shit. I received the Couch Potato today, but I don't want to use it, because I'm thinking of returning it (or exchanging it for another) because even though I paid full price (I even forgot to use the discount code they had for 7/10), I think that they sent me a b-stock model.

It's driving me nuts when I look at it on the table because it's all crooked. When you set it down, the bowl tilts off to the side. This is super freaking frustrating, after I was looking so forward to getting it

See what I mean? It just leans all off to the side, and it's driving me nuts:

See here how large of a thing I have to prop it up with to get it to sit even remotely straight:

I'm feeling quite annoyed that Brothers With Glass sent me a crooked b-stock item that I paid full price for.
I guess that's what I get for not ordering directly from the manufacturer

At least now I know better than to order from Brothers with Glass again, that's for sure.

Isn't this meant to sit on your stomach/chest while lounging on the couch?
Not critical that they sit straight on a flat table.

That's how they are made dude.

 

[Ramahs]

Well, damn it.

I guess I'll just try not to look at it when I'm not using it.

The pictures on the website didn't really show very well that it sits crooked like that when you set it down.
I wouldn't have ordered if I'd realized that they were all crooked/offset like that.

Or, do you think that these were maybe purposely made for right-handed people, so that the bowl off to the right is easier to hit or something?

I wonder if Goo Roo would make me a straight one if I return this to BwG, as they do have a 30-day return policy...and then buy directly from Goo Roo. Maybe that is what I should do? I could also get one without the logos then as well. If I have to pay a bit more for something that's not crooked, I would.

Diffusion pump works well with Hopper io! However the real surprise delight has been using it with the FW7, now with my beta:

With it laying on your chest, the right bend will be on your chest, while the left side will be below your chest ,making the bowl sit straight?

I just tried, and no...not really. It still leans to the right.

And of course, to straighten it out throws the main logo off-center, making it sit to the left...which is also extremely annoying.

Either the bowl or the logo will always be off-center, depending on how you hold it. It's like nails across a chalkboard at first. I guess I'll just have to get used to everything feeling out of whack with this one.

***edit - a half hour later***
Okay, I've been using my Vrod with this, and I'm thoroughly stoned now.
It's functioning fine. I guess I'll keep it, and learn to love it eventually.

I'm sitting my petty ass down now, and shutting the hell up

Here are the two popularglass bubblers, the "Saml Beehive" & "26cm Tall Diffusion Pump" with the Greek Glass "Saki Bottle" (by Biao Tang):

(Yes, the slightly longer removable 13-hole Saml downstem/perc is interchangeable with the Saki 3-hole)

Couple of shots of the "Pump":


Why no "rattle"...?:

Shots of the Saki bottle in the "Biao.t" thread here:

More to come of all...!

Edit: and here's a shot of the "Welded Tater Tot". Note I added a silicone bumper to the tip:

Yeah, @Ramahs, my weld is off-center, too... I figured it's designed to be hand-held/body-held so it didn't really bother me initially... but I gotta say, I am glad I didn't get the logos...! I haven't tried mine yet, but I'm sure I'll learn to love all the imperfections...

 

[LesPlenty]

Why no "rattle"...?

Defective, there is supposed to be a hole under where the ball sits.

Sure looks like it, thanks...:

looks like a suspended bubble and not an actual hole... SUCK!

As well the neck came with a pretty big scratch:

And the downtube perc for the Saml has a deep scratch:


I guess it's "Dispute"-time... haven't had to do this yet, oh joy...

Edit: anyone wanna buy a barely used rattle-less "26cm Tall Diffusion Pump" bubbler from popularglass super cheap...?

Well damn, apparently mine is the same way, no hole, still super loud rattling so I didn't notice that the ball wasn't moving, since I hadn't looked in the mirror I guess? Womp womp I already released the full $62, by the way they did say they would give me 5% off my next order since I missed the discount...

Oh well, how is the beehive otherwise?? And the saki bottle?! And hell, the tot too lol

If that’s a Steven Rattlecan, read my posts in this earlier in this thread. Basically, they didn’t want to refund my money for the obvious bad joints. So, I opened the dispute process, showing my photos, my claim was, If joints are not proper, then the piece is not going to work as designed. Simple logic = FULL REFUND. They don’t want these beginner glass workers rigs back, as they are probably worth just a few bucks. No more from that vendor, looks like they are no better then a year ago.

Yeah I thought with the straight joints they had come around, but forgetting to pop a hole in the bottom is a damn shame lol

Lean the same amount in the opposite direction, or vape on a waterbed...

Good Sage advice, my friend!

I've been living that life for 20 years

We have a waterbed also.

The Goo Roo site Tayter Key

Tater Tot: Cheapest of the "concept", no ground glass joint, only a bowl slide. 25mm.

Welded Tater Tot: same as above but with an 18mm joint and removable 9-hole diffuser downstem with a 14mm intake joint

Couch Potato: Bigger, no ground glass joint, only a bowl slide. 38mm.

Welded Couch Potato: same as above but with an 18mm joint and removable 9-hole diffuser downstem with a 14mm intake joint

Double Welded Couch Potato: same as above but with also with a built in perc.

edit: and the Goo Roo "site" is an absolute fuckin' JOKE, as well, their stupid fuckin names for the pieces, which only further confuses things.

Example:

Welded Couch Potato

Goo Roo Designs

WTF? Too fuckin' stoned and lazy to cut and paste most of description from the reg version and add about the welded/stem info (as was done with the Tater Tot?) There are plenty more examples of outright stupidity, too, just dig...
