Thought I would share a couple other very reasonable pieces, the D020 and the FC-187. All my glass is in my Spoiler...

Hey Shit Snacks - have you officially coined the GLAS term yet? You should claim it. Brilliant - Glass Acqusition Syndrome!! I love it. Thanks.
It actually keeps the glass clean, not the water.
You should not look here,
Scientific Glass
Starting this thread as it fits many glass pieces that are not necessarily cheap, or are artisan/heady types. AKA clear vapor rigs if you will. The Herborazier XL Bubbler is the most expensive glass I have purchased. It is not out of control expensive but not cheap so to speak at $169...

It is called GAS already but that gets mixed up with grinder collecting so I like GLAS as the term!
I also think anything over $100 should not be classed as 'cheap' and should go in heady glass or the scientific thread I posted above so I stop getting tempted because if I get one I will only end up crying when I eventually break it.

Haha yes that is why I started calling it GlAS with the lowercase L, to separate it from GrAS Even further since I have so many grinders now, although they are mostly BCG
it does look a little weird with the lowercase L, but yeah I dig the pun of course and I am struck in a severe way! 
Oh, right, sorry my mistake again! Yeah I don't know for me it's not a big deal to do the iso rinse with a water change, but I don't really like it and I procrastinate so maybe I should look into this other stuff...

Totally correct, my apologies, I will not talk about them again unless it is in that thread! I agree, although there is some cheap Chinese DHgate style stuff that is 100 or more, that doesn't really quite make this the right place for these US made pieces...

The puns and acronyms are great. I’ll respect the boundaries of this thread but damn I’ve been really enjoying the convo so I hope it doesn’t blow-up.
Enjoy the vapor.
Enjoy the vapor.

As long as it's not the heady thread when it's scientific glass like this. Doesn't matter if it cost $2000. A high price does not make a glass piece heady. There is very high end scientific glass out there as well that costs the same as the heady stuff.

Good point, they got mad at me there for sharing Biao stuff so they may find this too scientific lol but it's all handmade with color accents and some other heady elements?

I won't.
Actually I like GrAS for the grinder syndrome. We've been using GAS for glass for some time now.
If you make it $120 I'm in. Now that many of the DHGate vendors are charging for shipping this has gotten a little fucked up. Tho the only pieces I have paid over $100 for have been American glass, or at least sold as American glass.

Plenty of scientific glass is handmade. The best glass is almost always handmade.
And yes, scientific glass can have color accents.

Maybe there should be a "Glass" thread and a "Wowsers!" thread....

I think heady is to glass as couture is to clothes? Not sure if that's the best analogy, lol.
And scientific is borosilicate?
There is good glass that's not scientific or boro. Which is thick, especially at the joints.
Cheap glass is usually thin and not boro.
I don't know anything. Someone correct me if I'm missing something.
Shit Snacks
Milaana. Lana. LANA. LANAAAA! (TM2/TP80/BAK/FW9)
Cheap Chinese glass can be borosilicate, and often still thick... And yeah I never think of colored glass or glass with any fumed or heady type elements to be scientific at all, but there is definitely a difference between that and some of the crazy expensive glass you then see so distinction is certainly warranted...
Yeah this discussion is probably not even helpful here, but also this thread is over a thousand pages long, it kind of has become the general glass thread here, sure it's a great idea of starting new threads and getting more organized but only if people are actually a participating in them and stick to that? I don't know to find anything you have to search anyway or skim, it's kind of a mess to find anything in this thread typically lol

Just got this piece.
Function is okay, workmanship is really good. No obvious flaws.
Who are other DHGate vendors that people are using these days? I quit buying glass for a couple of years.

I guess to get us back on topic, aside from classic SunshineStore, Yingmin5/Lumin88, now I would highly recommend DGC_Glass, ILglass/FashionGlass, allaccessary, GlassManufacturers, tobaccoglass, and I have had good luck with these other ones though I think results may be a bit more mixed potentially depending on the specifics: PopularGlass, bongt/MLglass, SmokingBong, RadiantGlass, DJsmoke, ggsmoker, Glass99, goodsstore, LongShengGlass, and others like glassartist that have been reliable for others here...
Meanwhile just because I am already posting on topic, I will say that I decided to get both of those "heady scientific" pieces!

There's "Heady Scientific" and there's "Heady Cheap" and then there's "Heady WTF":
$33.50, btw: https://www.dhgate.com/product/fact...#st1-8-1|0|0|unrerank|newes;stprod|4071852857

Okay I know I said I would stop, because they're not exactly cheap, though I think they are a bit cheap for what they are, which is truly beautiful work fully unique with color accents and heady elements, very thick glass all around high quality... Anyway I just had to report back to show them in person, so nice next day shipping Vegas to SoCal:
This photo cannot do them justice at all, fortunately the can on the tall one is indeed narrower than my Biao bent neck, but I think the one on the right is going to be a new easy favorite for me (and is now my most expensive piece...) Perc function seems strong out the sides, the wider bulb base is a nice feature to accommodate, and the mouthpieces seem decent a little on the narrow side, but now to try them out! Will be posting in the Halo thread for starters, no more about them here?

I still think that they belong here (and in the scientific glass thread) because it would seem to me that they are significantly lower priced than many of their competitors for that quality of glass (if it is as good as you say).
Of course a $40 glass piece is cheap...but a $600 glass piece can also be cheap if it could be worth $2000 on the market.

The TAG 9 reverse shower cools even better than I had hoped. Dabs are incredibly smooth, even without the double perc attached. I think I like it just as much if not better without the percs.
I think this means I can leave cold wet handling of ice behind.
Anyone care to recommend a J-Hook for this so I can see it/use it as a sort of Sherlock?
I guess it needs something with a decent angle to compensate for the down facing orientation of the 14mm connector.
