I'm just going to speak up ... I've been thinking about restocking my Solo stems etc (sold my old Solo to a friend who really needed one ... almost gave it away ... and recently bought another newest model).
I use a Zapubbler (no longer can be purchased) with my MiniVAP as a heavy hitting portable, but also wanted to get a couple 14mm PVHES Turbo GonG's for my new Solo but hadn't gotten around to ordering yet (also needed some extra screens). A month or so ago I was cleaning my Zapubbler, and it just tilted sideways in the jar of alcohol and hit the side of the glass jar in such away that it snapped in two! Not knowing what to do as there are no glass blowers or anything like that anywhere around here I e-mailed Robert at PV about it, and he responded after receiving pictures that he could have it fixed for $30 or he could have a custom fBomb created for me (based on my specs) to also work with my MiniVAP.
For $30, I figured, what the heck, can't go wrong so I sent it to be repaired. I also indicated at the time I needed 2 PVHES Turbo GonG 14mm and some screens and left it at that. Just got everything back and am super pleased with the work and everything. The PVHES Turbo GonG's are perfect ... really well made and significantly enhance the performance of my Solo even over my prior PVHES stems/GonGs.
Since there is a score line from the lathe in the Zapubbler from the repair, they didn't charge me anything for the repair either! It's on the house! Just because its not "perfect"!
Hats off to PV yet again for their phenomenal customer service. I've been in contact with them for a while about the PVHES stems too, and my timing was just good for packaging them in with my Zapubbler repair.
