Yes, this is correct


Just stopped by my LHS today and noticed the GB-186 on display (first time seeing it IRL, recognized it immediately). Then I looked at the price tag - $275 :o (Note, there was no logos, didn't even have the Mobius logo!)
Are you flipping kidding me?@!?!

An interesting thing vendor Maarte said to me recently :

"Please don't worry about the quality issue. Our products supply 70% US bong shop for last 3 years. My uncle's factory is the biggest in China. "

lmao it's so hard to trust what they say

It could be true, I've been dissatisfied by over 70% of US bong shops I've been to when it comes down to the quality of their glass. Though the US markups don't help the Chinese pieces look any better.

It is mostly true I am aware of a few companies who use china glass cos they don't have enough workers for a full blown factory so they partner with china

Finally got my replacement kathy ratchet-cycler in :)
No vortex to speak of, and it get's pretty chuggy when there's enough water to make it recycle, but as with all the pieces I've been getting at this price point, it functions so I'm happy :)

CCG apparently finally shipped out my replacement recycler 3 days ago, so hopefully that whole fiasco will be done with soon...

Oh damn that 2nd one looks nice! I'm digging the white lips and the white inline, the little dip in the main chamber where you could even keep your oils on and the design of this piece seems like it could actually manage to pick up a decent vortex. Only issue for me is the '14.5mm joint' >__< all my pieces are 18mm..
Though I might have to make an exception for this. If it was just a little cheaper like $50 or slightly under i'd jump.

I ordered once from cleanclearglass, and got my order fairly quick, within 2 weeks if I recall. It was the wigwag inline oil rig... couldn't really find anything to complain about with this piece, it even sort of "stands" on it's mouthpiece so it won't spill. Better build quality than many of the others I have. I can't say that the company has a good rep, just had a good experience with my purchase...

Must resist this recycler even though it looks like it has vortex potential. Possibly the best China recycler yet. Still waiting on my showerhead honeycomb fab egg thing from Kathy. Also I have never done business with clean and clear glass before and am weary of them. Been waiting for them to make things right with @Frederick McGuire

After way too much back and forth everything seems to be sorted between me and ccg - just waiting on a final shipment, and assuming the 3 pieces I receive are up to scratch then I'll throw up a post detailing what happened, along with some pics of all the pieces involved.


Looking forward to your review of the shower-honeycomb-egg piece - I'm very seriously tempted to pick it up...

Waiting for clean clear glass to have some kind of 15% off sale :ninja:

As far as I'm aware, they just kinda discount individual pieces, if you go to the store page, there is a tab for "sale items" - some stuff is up to 30% off.

The 2 new items I am expecting from them dropped from a combined cost of ~$125 to ~$105 while I was waiting to sort out the whole thing...
