Definitely a little dip in the lip so the swing can sit perfectly horizontal and far enough down inside the bucket.

I can't wait to see your prototype. I've got the money ready for an amber purple 14mm male, and if you are able to work with the alien tech I will take a 18mm female as well.

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

Yup like that!^^^^^

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

Ok guys here goes. I really hope you guys like. Just bare with me. This was my first attempt.

First I started by making a mock-up "quartz" swing out of boro.

Then I made up my dome and put a lip and a bail on it. (After a couple quick measurements)

Then I put the 2 together. (LOL I can't believe the price on these is as inflated as it is).

Soooooo yeah, it's safe to say that these sons-a-bitches are for sure happening. Tell your friends! Lol

Edit: shit! Just realized this was a double post. Mods feel free to merge. .....sorry.

 

[Mr. Gweilo 420]

Im kind of interested but have to admit I dont know how it works exactly. This is a kind of nail to do dabs with?? Sorry no LHS in my part of the world.

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

Yes, the swing will be quartz. You flip it up, heat it, swing it back into the dome then in goes ur dab.

 

[DieHard]

Nailed it!

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

Well I may have spoke too soon. The alibaba seller just got back with me. On top if having to buy them in bulk they also have a standard shipping price of 50$. Wtf??? Just don't think I'll be able to swing it anytime soon.

yeah, shipping from china is a lota money and it takes weeks

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

He actually uses some express service. Apparently it won't take too long. Also ships in a wooden crate rather than cardboard apparently. Small wooden crate shipping is 50$ and large wooden crate shipping is 50$! Lol wtf!

Just wondering, have you thought about reaching out to one of our trusted China vendors to see if they can source it for you? I imagine it would be a bulk purchase so they may be interested. I would try Lamin (Yinming5) first and maybe Mike from Sunshine Store. If they can do it I reckon the price would be good.

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

I just heard back from the seller again. He says that from time of payment to my door in 7 days. That would explain the crazy shipping cost.

Long over due pics of the completed set from JoDa
Carbed Gong
Steamroller
Carb Cap

The Carbed Gong and Steamroller have gotten a lot of use since arrival and I am very pleased with their beauty and functionality.

 

[grokit]

^That's really nice @FlyingLow, congrats

 

[GSH]

They look gorgeous @FlyingLow, love the carb cap, can't wait to see what @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd comes up with for my Amber Purple set

 

[blankrider]

@VaPeD&CoNfUsEd that bucket looks great. I have a bunch of questions.

What color blue did you use?

can you make a alien tech honey bucket? I know you said it is hard to work with and didn't know if you figured it out. Know you said you were getting better color with it now

How much are you charging for your mini tubes?

What is the total cost of ordering those swings?

If I prepay for a amber purple set right now with a Christmas deadline would that be doable and helpful to making this happen? I would want a 14mm male honey bucket, 14mm male carbed gong, and 14mm female mini tube.

Is anyone else interested in prepaying and not giving our buddy v&c a hard time about deadlines? Let's make these buckets happen

That's for 20 swings though, right?
It is pretty expensive, but that's only $2.50 per swing...

If the options are no honeybuckets or you bumping up the price $5 I know I'd choose the extra $5

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

@blankrider
The blue is just regular old cobalt.

I can make one with alien tech but it would be coil potted rod not tubing so there would be clear portions as alien tech is a triple dip rod.

Total cost to get the swings here, I need to shit 150$.

As long as the seller on alibaba isn't bullshitting me and the swings arrive in a timely manner a Christmas deadline wouldn't be out of the question. Unfortunately I've not done any female tubes. Might have to brainstorm on a male version.

@Frederick McGuire
Yes the way it'll work out is 5$ per swing (my cost) then 50$ for the shipping.

dude seriously, if you need some help leme know, id love to make this happen for ya if you're considering busting these out.

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

Much appreciated @Xchadb. If I get a couple of customers to commit to an order on a bucket I'll be able to pull it off. I appreciate your offer. The shipping is the same whether it's 20 or 100 pieces though. So if you'd like to get in on some for yourself then let me know.

I can definitely pay for one up front too.

Let's make this happen!

 

[blankrider]

OK so if we each send him $75 today we are in business

I can definitely pay for one up front too.

Let's make this happen!

@VaPeD&CoNfUsEd I would order more than 20. These will be popular

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

I really want to order more than 20 so I'm not paying another 50$ in 2 weeks when I run out but, it's already at 150$ for the minimum order.

 

[blankrider]

Well @BoogerMan and I already said we can pay right now so that makes $150

If even 2 more members could commit $50 for clear ones that would be another $100 and 20 more swings.

Come on people! You know you want one and @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd is doing is a real favor by being the first person to offer these at a realistic price.

 

[NickDlow]

I'm in too for a $75 pre-order. You can add it to the order I currently have with you and ship when they are all done.

Edit: Btw I've never used one of these and aren't sure how lol! Anyone have a good example?

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

If you guys are all serious pm me and we can get this going. I fucking love this community.
