the dome that was on the gordo recycler was almost perfect. the handle was almost a dabber.... but it had wide open dome top so it never neally "carbed" very well.

no laughing here. if it works any you like it. no need to change a thing!

I started out with Ti and have only used a vapenwiser and an old BoroWorks ti swing. both used prior to me.

maybe it was my young hands with concentrates at the time... but I later tried a quartz nail and never looked back.

in reflection I just stick with quartz out of mainly habbit and personal style preference... there is still alot of undue controversy over ti.... I mean people ragging on a product and they have never even owned it...

@ataxian if I were gonna go ti... you already have what I would have chosen!
I will use W9TECH (PERSEI) the most anyway. The HERCULES SR74 or the new NAIL comming out is more stylist.
I'll get a domeless quarts for giggles!
It's all good!

Just wanted to thank everyone in this thread. It came at the perfect time for me as I searched for a cheap, high - quality nail. Because of this thread I went with the banger style quartz from green buddha. Unfortunately, for some reason the first package was returned to them from the post office with some random yellow highlighter. I watched it happen on the tracking. Am I the only one obsessed with my tracking numbers? Anyway, because I have GAS, after hearing this, I added another $50 to the order including the quartz castle style. I got it in 10 days from Texas to Toronto, which is very fast for USPS. They shipped right away, definitely a plus in my books.

In any event both of the nails look very good and are definitely functional. Now I just need to improve my skill with them. :science: Thanks to @pigfoot for the thread and everyone else who has contributed.

This man knows what's up. The herb and the concentrates are the most important detail.

Still, I have definitely come to appreciate having a good nail on hand.

I currently use Quartz Castle and Highly Educated V3 ti gr2 nails. Have you guys found any cheap nails in ti or quartz that are of reliable good quality that you could steer me towards?

I luse this one since it will fit any config and has 2 different sized heads. Since you're not in the US you'd probably get a better shipping rate on a Dhgate purchase (like this one).

The 2nd one you posted from dhgate I love. Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about? DUTCH CRUNCH SHATTER with this thing medicates like nobodies business! (IMHO)
IKR!

I Know Right?

First link dead? I like female nails and male joints on my rigs. I talked about that in an earlier post. If we are going to avoid the question of what they are made of :) there's a lot of good designs. Most are direct copies of Highly educated, or Dab Essentials, like this one:

$T2eC16d,!)cE9s4Pu,QbBRzley4bQQ~~60_57.JPG

I ordered from this vendor, mine looks better (smaller more even holes) than this one. Little heat transfer to the glass.

"Rockbros" is sold by a couple ebay sellers, and they are in auction format. They often sell at crazy low
prices. I got a 10mm domeless HE knock off from them, machining, fit and finish are nice. I ordered this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281366780670?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

but it's not here yet. It's a copy of the HE Infiniti. It fits 14/18 male & female, so it would work for you. I also got one of the generic "DI" nails (for nail/dome), and it's okay, but not as nice as the others, and doesn't sit flat on an 18mm joint, going to return it.

Besides Chief Cottonmouth, who else makes a cheap castle quartz with a shallow bowl?

I have found a bunch with real deep bowls and found those less appealing...

I'm not an expert but I have a strong opinion
Anyone have any experience with glass vs. Ceramic carb caps? I want one to experiment with and have found some cheap ones, just can't decide on material.

Hey guy's just to warn you, do not buy the flowertop quartz on ioffer. Put some shatter on there to season it, and it cracked almost instantly. The seller was very chill about it though, and refunded me the money promptly.

DUTCH CRUNCH SHATTER COLAS WAITING PROCESS TO BECOME A DAB!
@421 what kind of dabber do you have?
I have to have fresh concentrates otherwise I vomit.
ABV some can handle it.
@Vitolo The flavor is way to hard to handle.
Fresh Flowers
Fresh SHATTER (BHO)
@herbivore21 my shatter taste kind of peppery!
Tomorrow I will try QUISO hopefully it works as good as yours?

I have never really heard any folks talk about "fresh shatter"

What happens to shatter over time?
How much time does it have before beginning to deteriorate?

How can one determine if their shatter is old?

@ataxian ... maybe those rock fred-flintstone granite mason jars of yours are banging up against the glass and breaking things? ;)

@FlyingLow, your questions don't have enough specifics to answer properly, so I'll answer semi-properly.

Dude, that shatter was so fresh, it was like it just got crushed with Walter White's hammer.

How are you storing it?

Define old. Are you talking potency?

I see this question come up (though usually in the concentrates forum), and it never makes sense to me. Are you guys sitting on pounds of shatter? If so, then I shouldn't have to tell you how to store it for months at a time, and screw you for having so much overflow (j/k). If not, then make like the rest of us and just vape what you got. Sheesh.

I think you're supposed to chop it down and count the rings.

And each bubble you count takes a month off your life. At least, that's what it said in those Japanese horror movies about it "The Grudge Wax" and "The Ring(s)".

And here's my current champ for "cheap high quality nail"... $7.65 at ALT.

When the cool quartz and ti toys are put away, you're always there for me boro. People say you're fragile and can't handle the heat, but we know better. :love:

I am storing it in a silicone jar like these:

I had 7g left when my nail broke... that was a few weeks ago.

However, I ask because I know the guy I got this from has been sitting on his stock for at least several (3?) months and I can assume this is from the same batch.

Yes, I am questioning how time affects oil potency, and also flavor.

Ah, I see what you're saying now. Sounds like a familiar situation. I used to get oil for this vendor maybe twice a month, always good material and good prices. Then over time, I noticed they weren't rotating strains, it was just the same gsc oil week after week after.... When I asked, dude said he just stocked a huge amount of it. I told him to call me when he ran out. Six months later, I haven't heard back from him and his site still says gsc oil with same old pics.

So yeah, when someone has stock that long, it's an automatic pass for me. Either it's going to be old oil losing its potency, or it was crap to begin with and that's why he or she can't unload it quick enough. Either way, it's not a good sign.

Contrast it to this morning, as I get ready to head out to grab some Rump wax, hoping they don't run out a couple of hours after opening like last time. Never around long enough to become stale. Now that's a good wax.

Let me clarify the use of the word FRESH when referring to SHATTER

Please don't miss understand me however I speak in riddles alot I know!

Sorry!

FRESH SHATTER for me is made from cured COLA TOPS. (not necessary) You can use sugar trim and grade "B" nuggets! I just throw away trim and low grade nuggets. ABV for me is like dumpster diving. I'm sure people know how to manage it better than I can!

After SHATTER is made I let it sit for a couple of weeks before dabbing. I don't know if it is correct to do it this way or not? So please you guys know better than me. I have sensitive taste buds so I'm a special case. I have a medical condition that is not the norm.

I don't mean to mis lead you guy's so please forgive me for my personal standards!

My granite jars are just cheap BALL MASON JARS I painted.
Super cheap and I store my FLOWERS in them. I paint them to prevent UV from destroying the medicine. I have a JARZ for ground FLOWER (night time) and need more however I just haven't gotten more since I took a vitamin jar (Brown glass) and use it for daytime.

My dome-less dabber is T2 because if it was glass I would break it! My W9 TECH stuff stays next to my bed to help fight the "MONSTER"!

Honey and vinegar, my friend. Watch how it's done.

Hey @ataxian, hey buddy, wouldn't you like it if ol' syrupy came by and relieved you of all that trim trash? It's got to be clogging your garbage cans, or compost pile...

I'm laughing but about to cry because I just paid $60 for a gram of Rumplestilskin Wax that was made from...yup..trim. har har har, boo hoo hoo.
