Nice setup!There are many like it but this one is mine.
I like turning my banger around 180* so I can watch the oil bubble up into vapor
Makes for a good show

DHGate glass dabbing nails, a few questions:
Are any of you running these? Are they junk, doable, great?
Torch them till they glow?
Basically trying to decide if I should invest in a dabbing tool. I'm running a D020-X with a Bonjour torch and have a few Chinese nails sitting around from other purchases. Cracked 1 after 10 or so dabs.. it's still usable for the time being though.

I personally don't use them because glass nails just don't last long like you experienced (they also don't work with e-nails which is what I have been mainly using lately).
I recommend a quartz banger or a good usa made titanium nail (you won't have to worry about that ever breaking).
If you want some more glass nails let me know. I can ship you like 50 of them
That should last about a year

I used one for a bit and it worked ok. If I were you though I would pick up a cheap Chinese ceramic nail as I used one of those until I got my e-nail and it worked great. Or a cheap quartz banger.

Thanks for the info @BoogerMan, looks like I have some research to do. At the rate I'm going with my one instance of cracking, I'm probably good to go for a few weeks with nails on hand.
Thanks for the offer as well. I'm kind of buy once, cry once. So if I figure out that a $100-ish nail will last me 5 years, I'll go that route. If the DHGate nails suit my needs, I'll take you up on your offer. I'd pay you a fair price as well.
Edit: Thanks @weenstoned, didn't think of the ceramic. Will look into those as well.

I will send you as many as I have for free! They would go in the trash otherwise. Save your cash for a nice TI nail that will last you years
I kept the glass nails for this exact situation. I was hoping someone would want a ton of glass nails one day. Send me a PM if you break the rest of yours and need some more

LOL me too but for the pic I took it like that so it was easy to see everything.
When I heat up the banger I see red flecks in it, should I be concerned? I have a honeycomb bubbler with a HMK ti swing and im not familiar with quartz nails at all.

How is it that a message board with the word "fuck"(combustion).com has a better community than one with the word "you"(tube).com?

I wondered the same thing. Here is how I see it.
IMO "fuck" is a way better word than "you" even though most of the time fuck is considered bad...
How is fuck bad? It is the best word ever! Specifically in our case because it is referencing beating the bad habit of confusing But it can also be used to describe sooooo much! What other word can do that?
How Fuck can be used:
“Fuck” can be used as a verb, adverb, adjective, command, interjection, noun, and can logically be used as virtually any word in a sentence (e.g., “Fuck the fucking fuckers”). Moreover, it is one of the few words in the English language which could be applied as an infix (e.g., “Am I sexy? Absofuckinglutely!”; “Bullfuckingshit!”). It has various metaphorical meanings. The verb “to be fucked” can mean “to be cheated” (e.g., “I got fucked by a scam artist”), or alternatively, to be sexually penetrated. As a noun “a fuck” or “a fucker” may describe a contemptible person. “A fuck” may mean an act of copulation. The word can be used as an interjection, and its participle is sometimes used as a strong emphatic. The verb to fuck may be used transitively or intransitively, and it appears in compounds, including fuck off, fuck up, “fuck you”, and fuck with. In less explicit usages (but still regarded as vulgar), fuck or fuck with can mean to mess around, or to deal with unfairly or harshly. In a phrase such as “don’t give a fuck”, the word is the equivalent of “damn”, in the sense of something having little value. In “what the fuck!”, it serves merely as an intensive. If something is very abnormal or annoying “this is fucked up!” may be said.

I remember it as this, back in the late 90's: youtube link.
Funny story, I was involved in a sexual harassment investigation (as a witness, not the accused) many years back at a construction consulting firm. Asked about my use of the word "fuck" prolifically in an 8 hour work day, I simply responded that it was a "multi-syntaxual variable." The investigator smirked and all was good.

man Steven is a BEAST! The best around man. His shipping time is beyond belief. I actually got a box from him from china to USA only took 2 days - stuck at customs for a bit but DAMN 2 days from china to USA... and pretty much same day or next day shipping after order is placed.
I was freaking out about the FC-1000 after placing an order for the 707, thought the 1000 was better function but it was just a different neck style. Hit up steven and at first just wanted to get the 1000 but then decided either one is fine. He still responded and asked which one I would like... what a champ man. Just decided to go with the 707 because I really don't want to put so much stress on that neck piece + shipping that one safely seems a bit harder. He has always responded very quickly and his customer service is REALLY good. He will make sure you are a happy customer, great guy man.

I had to post the actual video here. This shit was too funny just now, especially after having a nice bowl with the nano and the new GB-194

I broke my FC-187 and really want another bubbler... Id love another FC-187... But im super impatient and dont really want to wait up to nearly a month to get it.
Any recommendations for a similar bubbler that ships from the states? Price range of 50-60 bucks or so.
Or in this price range is dhgate the only decent option?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I highly recommend Yingmins GB-194 that I just posted about a few hours ago. Awesome piece and is super smooth like the FC-187. It's a beast too. Nice and thick and large and in charge! 18mm female joint too.
I ordered it on 4/19, it shipped on 4/20, and I got it on 4/29.
You could also try the GB-187-S from Yingmin if you like sidecars. It's similar to the FC-187. Some people even like the mouthpiece more on the GB-187-S.
Kathy is also usually really fast. My last 2 orders have shipped within 2-3 days of ordering and have arrived within a week from shipping. So about 8-10 days total.
However, with any seller you may get unlucky and have a longer wait. I have had packages from both Kathy and Yingmin take 3 weeks before.

Thanks for the recommendation. I too have had great luck ordering from china the majority of the time.... But i have also gotten unlucky more than a couple too. But i still go that route when im not in a hurry. Trying to get something quickly now though.

Awesome. They are less than 20 miles from me!!! I wonder if they would let me just come pick something up... I will find out.
Thanks so much for the link!!

I can vouch for TAG too. I also believe they ship from PA. Usually took about 4-5 days to get to AZ via UPS ground.
I have bought probably 10 pieces from them, mainly before discovering DHgate. Only one has arrived broken. It was a recycler with a really long uptake tube and return tube. It snapped at the welds. Again this recycler is pretty fragile. Most of their pieces aren't and will be fine during shipping. They do extremely great packing, I actually think the packaging was too tight around the piece and caused it to snap probably during shipping lol. Idk?.?.?
Anyways, they shipped out a replacement the very next day.
They offer pretty good stuff. Everything I have received has been good quality. Nothing real janky like some of the DHgate pieces. And usually pretty thick as the name suggests haha.
Also, check out their Instagram. They have water twat videos for most of their pieces.
Look out for sales too. It always seems like they have at least 10% off during any minor holiday and 15-25% off during major holidays.
Good luck!
EDIT: @WoodVillain thats awesome that they are right down the street from you! Looks like you will be getting it quick! Way worth the couple of extra bucks! Still cheaper than a LHS too!
Definitely give them a call. They were really nice when I dealt with thier customer service a few times now. They might let you stop by and pick it up

I broke my FC-187 too. It broke so easily. I was moving it to the back of my fridge when the very tip of the mouthpiece barely tapped another glass piece but I guess it was just enough to snap off the entire joint. I liked that piece but the hole connecting the mouthpiece to the tube was really small and hard to drain. I am thinking to try an FC-cake but I did just buy the FC-UFO so I think that will be good for me for now.

Got my CCG Mini Fab Egg in today. There was so much bubble wrap and tape it took me a few minutes to open.
The 9.5 in egg hits very well. The perc is a 8 slit showerhead, similar to the d-cycler.
Did a bunch of dabs out of it. Zero complaints.
