Another defective piece from yingmin5. Although it doesn't really affect the function of the piece, I still rather have one without any cracks.. Should I contact him for a replacement or a partial refund? GB-187

Now you have me paranoid :( I am going to further inspect my 187 when I get home.

So Yingmin5 has fast shipping, good prices, awesome thick quality and a great variety, but it seems like 1 in every 2 or 3 are cracked :( bummer.

I still haven't heard back from them about my 194 leaking so hopefully I get a response soon and get a replacement :)

I have been waiting a good while to see that "water tornado" piece up for sale, but the video posted on sunshinestore's FB isn't as impressive as a gif we saw a while back. Maybe it is the user in the vid? Maybe there's a cerain pressure/technique. What a cool piece to add to the collection if it tornados well every time! (After i had just posted i was done buying for a whole buahahah)

I just checked my 187 and it is flawless (besides a few machining marks). So at least one of the two I got is a keeper :) the pull is insanely smooth. Purrs like a kitty. Stacks bubbles like crazy too. I highly recommend it.

I filled the 194 with water to test and holy smokes I love it. Very smooth pull. There are 8 limbs in the bottom chamber and 12 in the top. 2 slits each limb so 40 slits total :) however it is still cracked, but now I know I definitely want a replacement and not a refund. The 194 is an awesome large double chamber bubbler that I would recommend to all!

I heard back from Yingmin5 just now. Here is the response:

Dear friend,I will contact u later,I am on a vocation now,because of Chinese traditional dragon boat festival ,but do not worry ,we will take responsibility

So it looks like all is good and I should be getting a new one after they get back from vacation :)

So overall I would still recommend Yingmin5 because the customer service is outstanding. Hopefully they just get the quality control aspect down and if they do it looks like we may have a new "sunshinestore" lol

Now it's time to glob up my 187 and head to sleep! Take it easy everyone.

So yingmin5 has offered me a 10% discount on my next order for the crack in my piece. Do you guys think this is alright.? I really wanted a functional, non cracked piece.. Should I ask to ship this one back for a replacement (shipping on him)? The problem I'm having with the 10% discount is that I don't think I'll be purchasing another piece from him any time soon so the 10% is a bit useless. What do you guys suggest?

I also wanted to note that he said "it is normal that a pipe with a crack" :mental: - I honestly don't think it's normal for a pipe to be cracked before a customer gets to use it. I It seems like he doesn't really care too much about the minor damages on OR doesn't check anything at all..

Does the crack disrupt the functionality? Or is it just aesthetic? It is on the bottom if I remember correctly?

Yup the bottom inside and it's aesthetic. I'm just afraid that a hard bump in the future might make the crack spread and break the perc..

I don't know, I guess the crack is something you'll have to weigh out and decide whether to live with because 10% might as well be nothing, especially if you don't plan on making future purchases. You could dispute it with DHGate. The simple fact thought you bought a piece of glass and it is cracked...no?

Straight up demand more! Just say that 10% is nowhear near reasonable. You purchased from him specifically over other sellers because you were told that he had great customer service, and now you are being served with a defective item and some sort of sideways incentive to give him MORE money? Why should you buy from him again?
I'd go nuts if someone offered me 10% off my next purchase.. In fact, I did recently! The fucking bastards.
I got a USB Hub from Satechi and it was faulty, so I demanded a new one and they offered me 10% off their store.. In the end I got them to send a new one and let me keep the old one in the meantime, and then after the replacement was scratched slightly I emailed them for 3 weeks until they fucking sent ANOTHER one.

Don't give up and don't let people fuck you around. Say that FuckCombustion is boycotting him as a result of this and just get a replacement!

:mad: May have raged a bit here, but I know the feeling of being offered a measly fucking 10% off. It's an insult.
