You should message the seller and provide proof of the broke pieces I’ve only ever received an item cracked, not smashed, and it was still functional but I wanted to replace it so I messaged the vendor and they sent me another one.I bought some glass of dhgate too, but once awhile they break when they arrive, and they do not provide a refund... Though in total I saved more money purchasing there lol.
ordered this little baby from the seller bestglass

I think you're on the money.Dear @schranz420 First off, WELCOME to the best forum for all things vaporization! Your first post ever? Whoo-hooo! Alright, down to business:
Cleanclearglass has the best quality in the pieces you desire, imo. Not 1:1 clones IIRC; I think most are offered with a "Seed of Life" perc cut by sharks with lasers mounted on their heads. They may be offered or available by request with another perc? CCG is easily a Top5 DHglass merchant well-known and regarded here by members who have been doing this much longer than myself. You can find many other sellers of these pieces though, I've seen them around quite a bit but can't think of any right now tbh, sorry!
Perhaps other wiser, more learned members will share good merchants in their experience that do a closer 1:1 clone if that's what you're after. I've noticed that FC seems sluggish in 2018, not sure if folks vaped themselves stupid over the holidays or if it's just those post-holidaze blues? You might have to be more patient than you might otherwise, is all I'm saying. When everyone has recovered their form, you'll have much better responses than mine. More concise. Without so much extraneous bullshit. Good luck!
There’s a rule here about posting links to pieces with logos, they’re considered counterfeit so we don’t post them. But as many have said, Dhgate is probably the best place to find them, try searching some key wordsthank you so much for the replies :d
these last ones look very nice but i was checking dhgate last weeks and i saw the "1:1 clones" with the mothership logo engraved but i was so fucking low on money
all the pipes cataloged as mothership glass on dhgate are deleted now XD
i wonder too if i can find a similar domeless bucket without spending 700$ :d
r/chinaglass might be able to help you out with fake brand names.
They're typically painted not sandblasted on and will come at the cost of the seed of life perc. Not a good trade off IMO.
You could ask CCG to sandblast either of the above pictured rigs with the othership logos and base designs. That would result in the highest quality piece. They do also have partially sandblasted designs, but I'm sure they'd be open to custom work. Worth asking.
I feel like it's also worth pointing out, if anything's listed on DHgate with a 1:1 image of an American glass piece, it's almost guaranteed to be a scam

I think you’ll find a piece with better function for the price, that’s not branded, as opposed to one that’s made more for looks than function!
FUNCTIONAL MATTER'S = CIVILIZED FRIDAY
Where do you sail from?I think you’ll find a piece with better function for the price, that’s not branded, as opposed to one that’s made more for looks than function!
I sail from the Atlantic but haven’t decided where I’m docking yetWhere do you sail from?
NEWPORT, CA is not bad really?
I sail mostly in the PACIFIC. Boating with MOTOR'S lately. (EASIER)I sail from the Atlantic but haven’t decided where I’m docking yet
Seller "sunshinestore", one of the most respected and praised sellers around here, is either SUPER incompetent, or is trying to deliberately scam me. I just received a broken pipe from them that doesn't even look remotely like the pipe I ordered! This, on a high-end almost $70 pipe, after many successful orders from them in the past!

I gave them 24 hours for an explanation and re-ship, we'll see if they respond or get moved to the "Bad Sellers" list.
Sheeeeeesh.... WTF is wrong with people? Trashing their reputation for $68? Wierd.
@JCharles,
Thanks for the input. The more I think about this, the less sense it makes. These guys have a great rep, Ataxian likes them, I've bought more than one pipe from them in the past... it's just wierd.
We'll see what they have to say when they finally communicate.
