I have and it's good but is cost me lot's of $$$!
The cheap imports work fine.
I use teflon tape (plumber tape) to improve the seal on certain pieces.

The EVO does more than we think it does!
Modnote: Edited to fix typo in link. agualabtacos doesn't exist.
HAHAHA, I thought I was tripping when I saw the correct link on this post. I think I am going to buy agualabtacos.com from Godaddy today! it can be
@ataxian's personal website.
And I found that a a simple 18mm male to 18mm female adapter will work on deep jointed pieces too...or teflon tape. Luckily even my deepest Dewar joints seal with my evo natively. BUT I have to do that on a piece I have that the 18mm male joint doesn't stick up high enough to seal, the connecting arm is in the way. So I use the 18mm m-f adapter when stacking percs on it, you could do the same on an ill fitting Chydrotube.
Have any of you gone to a glassblower to attempt a repair on a HT? Or any water piece? The one I'm getting has a busted mouthpiece. I know a local blower indirectly, and he says it shouldn't be a problem, maybe even trick it out, but I was wondering if anyone else had experience with that?
I had a great heady glass blower, Johnny Landini, fix a broken mouthpiece for $20 but I think it was only that cheap because I was having a custom piece made from him at the time for $$$
It may be cool to add a custom colored glass mouthpiece to that side-arm you bought. But that would cost you almost as much as a new HT I bet.
If you want more HT choices You might want to look at 18mm nectar collectors and old Pinnacle water tool variants in 18mm. Here are some , although WAY overpriced

And I don't have one but these AK-47 Nectar collectors from Limitless look pretty cool as HT's. They can be made in 18mm and work as an upright piece or like a NC/HT. Pretty neat.
