Correction on the price.
Grand Total (Incl.Tax and Flat Rate shipping) US$146.27.(+/- current exchange rate) Still waiting for it to leave Canada.

Although it was shipped that Monday afternoon from agracancorp. Expedited USA. The delivery time now just got bumped up to next Monday according to the Canada Post website.
Anyway, I am already considering an elbow pack setup and my EQ hasn't even arrived yet.

Would like any recommend on a good glass part for the Female to Female replacement. Since there seems to be more variation as to size and type of glass available out there, and this is the most critical part for the convection (I'm guessing anyway), I'd like to make a solid one-time purchase for this. Especially with all the considerations for air flow and ventilation mentioned in FC here (and elsewhere). And stability, I really would like to avoid any mishaps.
Also any maintenance tips, pro tips, etc would be liked. The vent for the fan on the EQ is on the bottom of the unit. Would it be a good practice to put some sort of dust filter setup underneath?

I will take the one suggestion about using a mouse pad in front of the unit for any type of clumsy-ness with the glass parts. Figure any research to keep my mind off the wait would help pass the in-between time.
