Don't destroy the matrix perc...just the outside glass. Keep it and have a blower put it in a custom piece for you. As long as Mobius sees the jar and mouth piece broken up that should satisfy their sadistic request of you. You're entitle to a little extra "perc" for your trouble.

You know, the first thing I thought about when I read they wanted it destroyed was to destroy the Matrix perc in particular... though I did also think about getting it on a custom piece (that isn't $10,000 :lol:) :2c:

Good luck getting that perc out intact while destroying the can on video. I say blow it up. Know someone with a Samsung Note3? Borrow it and use the slow motion video function. This will be YT and social media GOLD.

It can be done! Break can then pause vid, remove perc, resume vid, add lots of visual shake and stop ...The End. Doesn't need to be a cinematic masterpiece.

If no explosives are handy:
Hang it in a big clear bag, and beat it like a piñata!

I read it like this

Nice Mobias employer: So sorry about that, (daaa)

Nice customer: no don't worry about it it can happen to anyone...

Nice Mobias employer: Mr Mobias (he shouts to his Boss) it did not work, (softly spoken) did warn you...

Mobias Jeffe: Shut up and keep on sending those bent neck to the European market, you know the odds

Oli: "On behalf of a FC member" Yes its NOT on, I demand ONE free Ion or clear, your choice, or if you want to throw in that new thin ion of yours, what the eck, to every member of FC or else or else....

...my D020 gets it!!

Eh, this isn't the first time I've talked to Mobius before, and not always about negative stuff.

Yea id really hate for them to deny his claim because the video looks edited tho.

Firearms are also a valid option. Know anyone with a hunting rifle or shotgun?

I also would not dare try to part this out and salvage pieces.

Mobius is doing you right and is resupplying you with a perfect piece, IMO you ought to do what was requested, it costs you nothing and you get a new piece and Mobius gets satisfied- everyone wins.


...try to pull one past them and you might be back on here singing a different tune.

From what I have seen in this industry. the good shops stand behind their work; however handling claims like this is still probably at the discretion of Mobius so you don't want to take a piss on them.

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions! I do know a couple of people with rifles, plus I could get access to explosives...

I would love to blow up a piece that would be awesome fun, but practicality and transparency lead me to just dropping it on my patio slabs outside in the garden. They can't complain of me trying to hide anything then.

I do have a couple of shitty pieces I might blow up at some point though!?

Throwing glass against a wall is a really great feeling, if you have a nice hard wall...

More enjoyable than explosives or guns ime. Should please mobius as well.

Sorry for your shit luck, but smashing that thing is going to feel so good

Would thermal shocking the glass preserve the Matrix perc? It would probably be the safest route but not the most rewarding, just throwing it in a bucket of ice water.

I'd love to see how much shock it would take to get a Mobuis to crack.

Unbloodybelieveble I think !!!

What kind of customer care is this!!!!!!!

If they don't believe you, they can sort the shipping back, their fault for sending such a crooked tube pass two QC!

And why could you not keep both (once you get the replacement), what arm will it do, you the paying customer got the crooked piece after paying good money, so to me it seems only fair to have some kind of compensation in return, why or why should you have to destroy it?

Who are they to set such conditions following THEIR error???

Anybody would think they doing you some kind of favours....

Anyway I'll stop here, but I feel for you GSH

edit: forgot to add, totally agree with Herr_Dampf !!
edit: just get one of those cheap new D020 and throw that one in the air if all else fails, but I still think its completely RIDICULOUS their demand!

I've actually had the same request from a different company - Road Ready Cases, which make excellent Anvil-Style rack cases sent me a defective one. They told me to send pics of it smashed so they knew I wasnt going to try to sell it. I did and they sent me a replacement quickly.

I have recently purchased the Ion and the clear and both mouth pieces are not strait im pretty disapointed. I dont have much experience with this grade of glass but there are also bubbles in the glass near where the mouth piece meets the can. I got it a month ago form ALT but didnt think it was wrong until a mate told me and then found this forum since then it really annoys me. When you spend almost $800 on glass i would have expected better especially from a company with such an outstanding reputation. I too feel like i have been handed second class products as i am overseas and it may have been swept under the rug.

Do you plan on doing something about it? This is the only way it will stop. It's BULLSHIT IF (IF!) ALT is pawning off the not so great pieces to oversea's purchasers. It should never have anything to do with it. It's either ALT or Mobius but either way, the customer shouldn't suffer....$400 glass should NOT be of questionable quality!
