Always nice to see people still buying skillet/swing pieces.
got a new oil rig this week.
it was listed @ about 400 dollars for awhile and recently went on sale at this local shop in Boulder, CO. so I had to grab it up.
it looks even better in person. really solid piece.
inline 14-hole bubbler into 12-arm shower head perc.
it's also being guarded by another of my recent acquisitions; Tristan Eaton designed dunny to keep my Oil Slick dunny company. this fella is known as Tag Team Black (there's also a Pink) and he comes with a little Fatcap buddy who makes the spray-can 'rattle' sound when you shake him. and yeah, he's wearing a gas mask, holding a big ass spray-can on a stick. pretty cool.

Damn, $400? That seems pretty steep to me - you can pick up a well respected brand name (möbius, sov, toro) for that sort of cash...got a new oil rig this week.

How much was it on sale for if you don't mind me asking?
A very similar piece is available from dhgate (its china glass, but the price is right
)http://www.dhgate.com/product/2014-...r-pipe-with/199085980.html#s1-23-1|1308635776
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/33cm-height-round-glass-inliner-and-8-arms/202045617.html
Differences seem to be:
8arm tree instead of 12,
No splash guard above tree,
Stem reinforced to can.
Or this one - a fair bit bigger, and no bent neck, but same perc setup.

probably shouldn't have said 400.
"about" was more like 360. the shop is up in Broomfield hours North of me so I was only there a few times but it was usually listed 349-375. I never would have bought it because I assumed it was simply marked-up from somewhere else.
when they slashed the price to 135 I said OK.
you can't find that style glass in CO for anything less than 200 bucks in person. not sure why that's the case but it is. everything you buy in person is overpriced and I'll usually try to buy online but the thing was sitting right there in front of me.

$135 is not bad at all for that imo. Waaaaaay nicer than that version on DHGate too.
couldn't help myself.
head shop around the corner from where I live was selling a generic, 10" tall, double-barrel recycler for $75. done, and done.
adding it to the weekly rotation.
looks good with the rest of the 2014 family.
look for a video in the milkshot thread in due time.

Dabbers (L-R): paddle (from Labworx Skillet), scoop (from Joshua Tree), and the rest were finds at the usual online places from iForgotNames blowers . The middle two have cool little implosion marbles on the ends. From the gooey tips, the amber JT and the blue spike dabbers get the most love.

I just received a HighPriorityGlass order, a Sheldon Black "L" shaped mouthpiece, and it is kinda sloppy with air bubbles right on top of the bend (at first I thought it was a crack). Have any of you all had to deal with HPG's returns department? I am curious what to expect from their Customer Service.

Looks like you can initiate the return right from your account page, which is kind of cool.
http://www.highpriorityglass.com/pages/shipping-returns.html
That item is almost about at the price where I say FU to the return because after 15% stocking fee and shipping it back cost,time, etc. it feels like more of a pain than a gain.
I've never returned anything there (fingers crossed), but they have responded to my emails so that's a good sign.

Hear you. Feel you. If you're up to it, you can email them before starting the return process. This is my script for phone convo... would look different on email obviously.
You: I need assistance with a defective product I purchased from you.
Them: Yes we would be happy to help. See our return page.
You: I've been there, and don't like those terms. I purposely selected this Sheldon Black piece because it's known for quality. The idea of sending me a substandard piece, and THEN charging a restocking fee, is ludicrous.
Them: Well those are our terms.
You: Then I need this to go to someone who can decide otherwise.
Them: (long pause, them talking with supervisor or pretending to)
I have gotten authorization to waive the 15% fee.
(guessing supervisor would rather do anything than talk with me directly)
At this point I would even push for re-imbursed shipping... it's all about the Sheldon name being quality, and how disturbing to see this flaw made it through quality control. Half the time the second request gets shot down but it's worth the shot for me (got a free hat pin out of the one from above). If they hook me up it's good to reinforce how the good things I've heard about HPG are true, and my people and I will be back. Everyone wins, yay.
It's kind of a game, but it works enough of the time to be worth the try. Phone works best because they're on the spot and more likely to give in just to get off the phone.

Looking at the last few pages has honestly left me breathless! (Although I would gladly take a breath from any of these works of art!)
I realised that I never visited this thread and shared my sweetheart, the Serendipity Gigaurora (the sister of @gigaurora 's origional Cory Glass Designs vapecycler)

If that's the case, then definitely get it replaced. Maybe ask for something extra to make up for the additional costs involved? Or a significant discount on your next piece?
