anyone here copped the ccg hitman sundae stack? thinkin bout picking one up for shits n giggles...
This is the one that kinda struck my fancy... I like the shape and that it can be used for two functions. But I really don't have much experience in buying nicer glass pieces especially anything with percs.

I was told I would get better results moving my thread into this one..and I can see why...
I know there are several other topics on there about lots pieces form DH Gate that I searched over but really didn't see any talking about this model or one very similar. I know opinions over DH Gate and some of the products they sell are rather divided, I have never ordered anything from there or even know someone who has. So any tips or things to look for that may help me out would be most appreciated! If I understand its kinda like E-Bay if the seller and store has high rating and good customer feedback they are usually safe to order from? Is the quality of the glass even worth the price of the pieces or are they generally a waste of money.

I'm pretty sure that's meant to be a knockoff of a different perc.For the people that were looking for a dirty rico apocoline perc here is one I found that is pretty decent and at a fair price

Here is a cheaper one instead http://www.dhgate.com/product/top-q...-bong-water/204953023.html#s5-3-1b|1227471356
Man I'm sure glad I waited a few hours to post about this piece anInto see if anyone had experience with it hahaCross posting this review here for discussion so we can keep the review thread clean:
So I took a leap of faith and ordered this piece from Kathy0578:

Here are some shots of it with the fab family:
The logo was kind of an unexpected surprise for me. Turns out it was a mistake in shipping, someone had actually paid extra to have this made... They are correcting it with a small discount on a future order, which I plan on applying towards their Gordo recycler clone. But this seller is able to do sandblasted logos it seems! To be sure you don't get a logo, maybe include a comment saying "no logo"?
The piece was very very high quality, it feels thicker and sturdier than the straight fab! Welds were done well, no bubbles and none of that lumpiness I've seen on other pieces (ie, straight fab joint weld, those who have one know what I'm talking about). Joint was very straight. The function was surprisingly good I must say for what looks like a very simple perc. The perc and the small size seems to bring out a lot of taste. It's only passed by the FC-710 for taste, but this piece is like 3x the weight and thickness of the FC-710.

Anyways this sellers seems legitimate, has their own factory, showed me pictures and such. And they know a fair bit about the other sellers, CCG, Kathy0577.
Just so you know, the "2 functions" of that piece in the title purely means that it comes with a male to male adapter, some and glass nail.
They are nice accessories to have if you don't already have them, but there's nothing specifically "2 function" about the piece itself

Here's a vid of an actual apocoline:
To me, an actual apocoline perc is basically a tree, but the arms of the tree are sealed off and non-functional (or minimally functional? I've never fully understood how it's different to a gridded showerhead/puck in a slightly different form factor) and between the arms are vertical lines of punched holes.
TL/DR:
I've never owned one, but I don't think that's an apocoline
Man I'm sure glad I waited a few hours to post about this piece anInto see if anyone had experience with it haha
This piece really caught my eye as I'm looking for a travel piece currently, I just didn't know if it was worth the price tag for something so small
I see a lot of people talking about the Gordo recycler... I went a few pages back and didn't see a link... Maybe I skipped it?
Anyone have suggestions for a recycler or incycler? Concentrate use only. Really want a torus but only if it vortexes correctly so since I haven't really found one. Any other good options?
I saw this one too was going to ask the thread if anyone had it yetThis is the recycler I was going to get next: http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/bong-glass-recycler-2015-new-glass-bong-oil/237474896.html

Hot water then ISO rinse, sometimes PBW if it still has a smell after.Just picked this bad boy up (GB-187S) from seller "Yingmin5" on dhgate for use with my new E-Nano. Do you guys wash your pieces before use (in water, or something else)?
Mine appears to be spotless but I was just wondering what you guys who buy china glass often do before using a piece for the first time.

I've never had a piece come from China that didn't have a kinda nasty smell to it (I assume it's picked up from the bubble wrap or something...) right out of the box.Just picked this bad boy up (GB-187S) from seller "Yingmin5" on dhgate for use with my new E-Nano.

Man, the smell that tape imparts...I've never had a piece come from China that didn't have a kinda nasty smell to it (I assume it's picked up from the bubble wrap or something...) right out of the box.
I usually just give t a nice rinse with hot water and some dish soap.
1 or 2 rinses and the smell will be gone
Awesome, thanks everyone. I was damn near ready to just start hitting it but I had a feeling FC would offer some advice.
Used hot water and dish soap and it's currently drying--I think I'll save the ISO wash for when it starts to get nasty.
I'd be VERY careful using hand soap to clean any glass pieces you'd be inhaling from
The main reason to use caution when using dish detergent is it makes pieces slippery!I used this dish soap called "Palmolive Pure + Clear". Hypoallergenic, no fragrance, no dyes. Only used a few drops so hopefully not too dangerous?
