I fucking hate USPS

Thankfully @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd is gonna do me a solid and fix it.

(Insert derogatory sexual preference of your choice here) mailman.

 

[cybrguy]

I suspect the mailperson's sexual preference had little to do with it, but that seriously sucks none the less...

 

[Higher than a Pterodactyl]

@cybrguy I amended it. It was in the heat of the moment.

Carbed GonGs: Discuss?

Being as the only place to get a carbed GonG for an Enano is from @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd, I'm posting this here with some hesitation, as I don't want to derail the thread, but I am very interested in the performance.

@blankrider Likes his very much, from a quick conversation on the Cheap Bubbler thread, anyone else? I'm really thinking that I want one, but would love some feedback first. Anyone?

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

I'm a bit impartial but I use my carbed gongs exclusively. I have them in both 14 and 18 and both m and f. I wouldn't sell them if I didn't believe in them. Takes all the bulk of a Claisen out of it.

 

[nihil]

So the general idea is that they eliminate the need to remove the GonG thus preventing blowback? Do you also leave the Enano seated on the GonG? Any other benefits? And thanks for the quick reply.

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

The eliminate the blowback by giving the air in your piece an alternate escape route when your water level comes back up after a hit. Rather than up through the herb. I do leave it to sit on my piece for my entire session. I don't just let my piece sit around with a nano on it. My main reason for it is that people understand how to use it. I can't count how many people ive watched fumble around with trying to pull the nano and gong off my piece. Makes me nervous. Made the carbed gongs and everybody has no problem at all and I can feel a bit more confident handing my piece to a vape noob. Oh yeah and the pretty colors. Lol

 

[blankrider]

Yes you can leave your nano on the carbed gong when you clear it. It is extremely convenient. You can take a few hits in a row without removing it. I like to remove the nano to stir the green every couple hits. Carbed gong is amazing. Thank you so much @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd

 

[nihil]

Fair points and good information. Thanks both.

And yes, I'm now liking the n00b angle as well. I live in a very progressive state in a metro area, but I still have to explain how vapes work to my friends. And those fuckers have blown back a lot of perfectly good bud on my desk.

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

@nihil for more feedback from other carb gong users, @blankrider @snackmaster and @Zebowski should all 3 have new ones in their mailboxes tomorrow. All 3 very different but each badass in its own right. Zebowskis is all clear with a all Mega Mai tai carb. First and only one I've done like that so far.

 

[llamaman001]

Just used my slime "dry pipe" piece with my e-nano for the first time finally. LOVE it V&C! Ill finally be posting pics soon of everything you sent.

 

[Mr. Gweilo 420]

Well I just got my carbed gongs from Joda in the mail yesterday. I've been testing them with the Enano and I love them. They look awesome but the performance is even better. I will also be back with pics and more details later but thank you to @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd I would go so far as to say that if you use the Enano through water then one of these is essential.

 

[Mr. Gweilo 420]

sorry for double post but here are the pics. I'm really pleased. They really improve my Enano experience which is some kind of achievement! Thanks again to Joda. on and big thanks for the bonus stem! it really makes it a matching set. When you are ready to make a bubbler you can put me in your book as one of your first customers. Its been enjoyable watching you grow throughout this thread. Keep working hard man and good things will happen for you. cheers

 

[Delta3DStudios]

Nice!

I'm still waiting for my worked Carb'd Nano stem! Getting tired of using my Claisen

(Nice setup @Mr. Gweilo 420 - the D020-W is one of my favorite pieces)

 

[blankrider]

Well I just got my carbed gongs from Joda in the mail yesterday... I would go so far as to say that if you use the Enano through water then one of these is essential.

I agree 100% with this statement. I never cared for using my claisen. Do not like having my vape up so high and extra parts just means more stuff to buy and more stuff to break.

Carbed gong is too amazing for words. A real must have. I like to compare them to when oil rigs went from standard dome and nail setup to all the new awesome domeless options. Eliminate parts and add simplified functionality. Two birds one stone. Bam!

 

[FlyingLow]

All this carbed GonG talk and y'all finally convinced me. HUGE thanks to @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd for letting me modify my order another time! After nearly a month of going back and forth, I am so excited and think I will be all set for the immediate future.... Admittedly, I am aware I might require GAS in the near future, the short-term future, and most definitely in the medium to long term futures

I am settled down on a carbed GonG, a steamroller, and a carb cap, with red being the theme.

 

[nihil]

sorry for double post but here are the pics.

Wow, very impressive. Love the aesthetic mix between scientific and heady. Those GonGs are damn near perfect.

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

Those ones were a couple of the cleanest that I've made. Plus they are beautifully simplistic. @Mr. Gweilo 420 did you noticed they are signed?

Also @Mr. Gweilo 420 thank you for the opportunity to send American glass to china! Lol

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

Can't edit the last post. Here's a really clean gong I made for myself today to match my recently acquired colie recycler. Love theses amber purps!

 

[Newcastle]

I think your screen is too low......Oh and wow it is fun watching your work come along! I will have to get one of those as soon as I get a piece with more volume. I think the D020 needs the Claisen. The D022 will need one of those! How is everyone liking the steam roller?

I read my post and I don't think I made myself clear. That is fucking beautiful!....How was that?

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

I've always liked my screen right about there. When the herb is nice and fluffy and green it sits just a few mm below the heat port. It was pretty well cashed in that pic.

 

[Newcastle]

Yea that was me just kidding around. Where ever it works for you. I just wanted to say how nice that looks. The color up close in that piece is crazy.

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

I've always had great vapor production with the screen that low. Plus I know a lot of you guys use ur screens dome up. I like mine dome down.

Just curious, where and how do you all run your basket screens in your gongs?

 

[DieHard]

I like the screen to be low enough to keep the load inside the oven of the Solo. @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd do you think you could put a pinch in a Gong to prevent the screen from walking up the bowl portion?

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

I've thought about doing that for the solo stems actually. Just didn't know if there was a demand for it or not.
