Just what I wanted, thank you. I have been using my FC-UFO for the last day trying to decide whether I want to pick this up. That perc is what makes it different enough to consider...

Hey, I took this for a different conversation but I may as well share it here. This is my FC-UFO with a custom MP from OGB and my TM. They really make a good combo, but that TAG piece keeps calling my name. The UFO fits decently in my hand even tho it is a 75mm can due to the MP joint sitting right in the crook of my hand.

I like that mouthpiece. I’m looking for a mouthpiece for the TAG9 as well. How much did he charge for that? Is it 18mm?Hey, I took this for a different conversation but I may as well share it here.

He made this for me in 2015 and I can't find the price I paid, but I did send him these instruction:
Please make this 2 inches longer, of the wider gauge stem, start the bend lower so it puts me further away, and use the standard US 18mm joint.
If you need to add a couple bucks for the custom stuff feel free.
Even though I intended to use it with the UFO, back then I wanted everything I bought to fit with RBT vapes, tho I never did end up using this with the Zion. As I recall he shipped it out the next day. I have nothing but praise for OGB. (Oregon Glass Blower)

I cannot even tell what I'm looking at exactly in that photo, but something is broken! Haha what I think the "scam" (so to speak) is that they should be sending you a replacement, regardless of whether you paid for that insurance or not... Mine was wrapped and packed pretty well, but I guess you're always at the mercy of shipping too! Oh well glad you will be taken care of either way, yes my advice is not always the best though

The entire mouthpiece stem part is sheered clean off at the body.
You could "fix" this somehow and probably get a serviceable piece out of it, but I doubt I will.

Yeah that's what I thought, it seems like the only potential weak point really, and I could sort of make that out in the photo... Yeah I bet someone could fix it, but I also would not want to myself, you'll get a replacement, hopefully quick! put that $1.50 to use lol

I imagine since seconds are sold out they'll likely send me a "firsts". So there's a little redemption in the end, maybe.

Oh you had ordered a second? I don't remember if those were even available when I had ordered mine, but the price was good enough that I didn't feel like I would need a steeper discount... I wonder if that second quality, is why it was a little more vulnerable to the break who knows, but positive side!

Yeah, that was my thought as well.
Mhm, was $59 shipped. For this I can wait a little longer.
I've just had a truly awful week. One kick in the nads after another. I was hoping to dissolve those memories with my new rig today. But alas it was not meant to be.

That was only 3 days. Impressive. I caved...

Check out the two just above, the TAG 9" super slit donut and the GooRoo 3 piece or HD 3pc. All three are 90 degrees. The TAG piece is big, cool, smooth, and surprisingly flavorful. I just got the 3pc but the flavor is more obvious, the hit is open, and it just purrs. The HD is a little bigger and might be the happy median, someone who has one can weigh in. Nice thing about all three is the modularity: you can choose your own whip/mouthpiece (suggestions above) and keep it just where you want it with regards to your face. With the GooRoos you can switch downstems, too.

TAG response to my broken on arrival rig has been swift.
Yesterday they said to pick another model because the seconds were sold out, and to send them a link.
I sent them a link to first quality of the same model.
Today they responded that they would need the difference in price, $9.45. They provided a link which brought me to a premade cart where I easily paid the difference.
Rather than fight them for $10, I figured I would just pay it and get things moving.
I am a little disappointed that they didn't offer to replace 1/1 with a first quality. I wondered if they knew I was detailing my experience on a forum if they would have just sent it.... So instead of $59, my total will be $68 ($5 of that total was for shipping) and I waited 2 weeks.
Edit: I emailed them letting them know I was sharing my experience on a public forum. I don't think I'll get anything for it but who knows....
From TAG:
"When broken items are received, we do not offer 1st Quality as a free upgrade.
We do however offer a free reshipment or the option to grab something else from the site.
We are aware of the forum. If someone from said forum were to approach us with a design they would like to see available, we could likely produce it to spec. I just notice many use this forum for well priced items but also for an ideal setup. I think we could provide this ideal setup if someone was willing to shoot over a design request to us."
So that's cool.

Feel like I’m winnin’ when I’m losin’ again
AquaLabs mouthpiece came in, thus far I would say it pairs perfectly with the bubbler for me. About 5.5” in total length, bent at a ~66° which adds about 3” height. Makes it a good handheld rig; probably the biggest I’d want a handheld to be though. Will add a pic if/when attachments are a thing again.

Hey that is still less than I paid for mine being first quality with 35% off, my shipping to California was like $10 but anyway yeah I feel like if you would have specifically asked they might have given it to you but it seems like they have a standard policy they like to follow...
Yeah this is pretty cool, I certainly hope one of us takes them up on it...

I am really hoping this doesn't feel too big for hand holding as that is my favorite way to use glass. The HD3 pushes that desire but it is doable. This should be OK for that but we'll see. I should have it before Friday when delivery is expected.

Mine showed up yesterday and I've put it on my GooRoo 3pc for now. The mouthpiece it came with felt way too big, while the Aqua Labs mouthpiece feels a little too small. For now I've decided I'll settle with a little small over way too big.
I wish it was a little taller, with a little less bend in it. So a little straight I guess. It works though.

That language suggests the ideal setup isn't well priced. Anyone who's dug around on the TAG site probably knows you pay a premium for MTO (made to order) items. I'm skeptical this would be at all worthwhile.TAG said:

After your last photo, I was thinking about it with mine, ergonomically, it is going to be fine, I think it will be very comfortable for you to hold in your hand, the only question mark, if you find the weight to be less comfy, form factor should be perfect, but the glass is definitely thick and a little heavier too!

These are the 3 18mm mouthpieces I currently have. I put the 18650 in there for scale. I am good with these for now, but I wouldn't mind getting one between the sizes of the second and third one.
That Aqualabs MP looks to be about the size of the third one. Is that right?
