- cheap bubbler glass
A D020-D I received yesterday from sunshinestore:
Exactly 7 calendar days from despatch to delivery.
And they agreed to swap the accessories (bowl etc.) for a set of (5x) 18-14mm reducers as I only want the bubbler to use with my vapes
I've not spotted any bubbles in the glass and it seems to work well.
Hardly any draw restriction at all and a nice purrrr instead of chugging like my old bong.

He's just cleaning it. It looks like he has the joint hooked up to the faucet. It's a fritted disk to a turbine, explaining that awesome vid. I watched it 4 times straight, and then 2 times again just now..

Painted. Look at the joint. There is no weld between the clear ground glass joint and the green colored glass.
Edit: Last two pictures maybe not. That said they look like crap and I wouldn't trust a vendor that sells painted glass.

I'm generally leery of Chinese glass and have yet to receive my first order of one, but I would avoid colored Chinese glass entirely. At least with the clear you can see imperfections more clearly.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I would guess that color in the glass would be a great way for them to cover pollutants also. Clear would hide a lot less.

They might not be painted. Have started to see Chinese glass from American vendors on Instagram in those colors plus a couple others. I would suggest messaging Kathy on dhgate. China is following the demand, it's ridiculous to assume they could never get colored glass.

They do have colored glass, if you'd take the time to educate yourself you'd know what colors. That's why I said the last two maybe not painted because it could be china green and china amber. There are even chinese blowers that use american color by now, something you notice when you look at the price for the pieces. On the neon green and pink pieces there are no welds between the clear ground glass joint and the colored tube section, impossible if it would be actual colored glass.
The colored glass they are trying to emulate here is VERY expensive because of all the R&D that went into it (also, because there aren't many companies making them limiting the supply. Nontheless it took a while to get the recipe down).
I'm sure a chinese factory could come up with their own recipe for UV active colors, just haven't seen it happening yet.

I received my Othership Torus by Stevenlmz79 today.
Yes.
I like this very much.
It works amazingly, one hit from my EQ feels like three hits through my D020 for example! This is my favourite "candle holder" yet. Powerful, beautiful and affordable.
For anyone on the fence, I would say you could not be disappointed and should jump over!
It's a great size, good amount of water for freshness, good amount of diffusion, nice amount of vacant chamber for sitting vapour, the vortex is impressive enough but I am more pleased by the rest of the piece, which surprises me. It even retains flavour better than my D020 and any of my other pieces.
It's really, really nice.
The defects are tiny scorch marks on the downstem from the incycler (very small black marks viewable from low angles), and the 18SG inlet is not perfectly sized/shaped giving whatever is plugged in a tiny bit of play, but it still seals completely airtight with no effort. Also, the slits in the perc are not quite verticle and not evenly spaced, but it looks perfectly fine to the eye, and even better with water magnifying it. The glass is flawless, except the brace connecting the down stem, which is a bit sloppy. It has bubbles is not of even width and is not straight. But it is pretty much picture perfect from the side on both sides. And the rest of the glass, which makes up 99% of the mass is literally flawless. This is THE best quality glass I've received yet, entirely due to the fact that it's finished fully. It's polished properly and there is not a scratch, or a bubble in the main body, or any other width fluctuations.
It’s spot on.
It has easily got the best reception than any other piece I have.
The postage took 28 days from purchase travelling from China to Australia and it was well worth the wait.
Packaging was on par with the DHgate standard, although I would say other sellers have gone beyond this in recent months from my experience. It wasn't form fitted into polystyrene, for an example of "bomb proof packaging", but had enough bubble wrap, and the piece itself is a tank.
9/10 - It's not perfect, but I'm okay with that.

If your parcels come sea freight then yes.But they come by air freight so probably will not make any difference,in China they will carry on trading after disasters.

Is this the new one or the one that's been for sale for awhile? If it's this one, http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/advance-booking-2015-new-high-quality-glass/218127026.html check back in a few weeks. It is a 7/10 for concentrates with my biggest complaint still being the massive size of the can. With my Evo or Verdamper it rips like a champ though and is easily a 8/10. All things held equal I havent touched my egg and torus and have been solely using the straight fab for concentrates.
Still with this Torus, the vortex works for anyone that never checked out my function video you can see it.

Also check this Function out on a propeller looking perc : https://instagram.com/p/6RB-knIjME/ Sounds miserable though.
This piece also looks promising, based on the IG Profile those colors are not painted:

I am well aware the colors that China offered before. As I stated I have seen pieces on Instagram that were Chinese (from Clean Clear Glass or the same manufacturer) yet used similar colors. I am no glass blowing expert, but kinda looks like there is a weld around the mouthpiece where it goes from clear to color. I don't think the Chinese are going to be offering Serum or every color of the rainbow anytime soon, but to think they couldn't come up with more colors is absurd.
Still would be wary due to the differences in the last two pix with pieces with regular Chinese colors.

Here's one of the pictures I was talking about. They claim elsewhere that their glass is blown in the USA, but I don't buy it.

I worked as a glass blower for nigh on 15 years... don't do it now (unfortunately) but from as much as I can tell from the pics, the first one looks like coloured glass:
... and these look painted:

I doubt they are painted as I have the same fab egg baby bottle from CCG in white and it is not painted.

It is the 12" 2nd version with slitted perc.
Connected to an EQ this thing milks up better than any other piece I've tried. It does things to the vapour. Good things. It gets really white when it white walls, and the vapour is dense. This thing is giving the most potent hits out of all my pieces it's crazy how good a pair these are.
Vortex on clear is a nice touch, and it recycles pretty efficiently.

I am just saying it looks the same otherwise. Wouldn't be surprised if some vendors are holding back colored pieces as a favor to American vendors they're selling to. If these are painted (which I still don't think they are) I still think good colors are coming to China glass eventually.

I'm thinking of purchasing a new piece fellas... specifically for oil. Ran into a consistent supply of oil and feel it is time for a new setup.
Was thinking FC-710 after all the reviews but was wondering if there were any other recommended pieces for oil? I also need a new nail so recommendations for that would be better, I'm not liking the titanium nails too much right now.
Thanks guys!

I actually LOVE this one as far as aesthetics over the FC-710. How is it in comparison as far as performance??? Also, I've heard many great things about Steven, how is CCG's shipping, is it as fast?
