Best products from r/chinaglass

i would definitely recommend a recycler for a first rig. it helps cool the vapor quite a bit, making it a better and safer experience for inexperienced users. these two recyclers come highly recommend from users on the sub. they are both great for first timers.

[mlgs recycler] (https://www.dhgate.com/product/2017-new-small-backwater-glass-bong-factory/397517633.html?skuid=433685471782678533)

quartz choice a beveled edge evan shore banger would proly be the best rookie banger. just make sure its the right size and style joint for whatever piece you get. for the pieces i linked they both would require a 90° 14mm male joint quartz banger.

this cap is really good. there is some cheaper options but generally they make you buy two of the cheaper ones bringing the total to about the same as this good one.

these two dabbers are pretty good thier design makes them very versatile and able to dab any type of concentrate with ease. but dont forget there is a million different options for dabbers. maybe shop around and find something else you think youd like. id recommend using only a quartz or glass dabber though. but if you really want to use a metal dabber id definitely avoid china metals in general. also make sure its a medical grade metal as most lower grade metals gas toxins when heated to fairly low temperatures compared to higher grades.

only thing else youd need is a torch or an enail. id defiantly recommend an enail, however they are not cheap. the best cheap and safe and highly recommenced one is the [High 5 enail] (https://highfivevape.com/e-nails/e-nails.html) they run about $100+. it is twice the price of a torch but youll spend that difference in butane in like 6 months tbh in the long run enails are much cheaper. also if you wait till april 20th high 5 usual runs a sale and you can scoop one up for under 100. do note though that you would also need a specific type of banger called a Ebanger for an enail. the banger i linked does not work for enails. as for a torch the [blazer gt8000] (https://www.amazon.com/d/Soldering-Torches/Blazer-GT8000-Shot-Butane-Torch/B07BMYWWJ2) is a very popular and solid cheap torch. also the ['bed bath and beyond' torches] (https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/s/butane-torch) are pretty popular as well because if they break you can just take them to any of their store fronts and they will replace it with a new one without question. performance wise though they are not nearly as proficient as the blazer gt.

Yea i feel you. But I was looking for something a little smaller than most beakers. I know you can get real small ones, but with those I always struggle with splashback. And I also just wanted somethung a little different. I already have a huge beaker that I like a lot, but for me it is just a little too big to be practical as a daily driver.

I like having a nice little portable piece to do snaps with while i'm tooling around the house. Honestly for me its my preferred way of consuming, it helps me conserve and every hit is green. For little snaps like these I prefer a smaller piece with enough diffusion but I try to avoid drag and splashback, and ice is a nice plus. And I really like having a remove-able down-stem for ease of cleaning. I had been using a sake bottle a lot and i really liked it, but it broke.

I replaced it with a basic banger hanger and this little recycling ash catcher and used it a lot for little flower snaps. I am surprised at how well the two work together, like they were meant for each other, and I really liked the function of this combo.

But I dont like the way I get a resin taste on my lips from the mouthpiece of the banger hanger. I use clean water every session, and I always clean my pieces with iso after 2 or 3 uses to keep them clean, but I would start noticing that resiny buildup on the trumpet style mouthpiece of the banger hanger after just a few hits.

So I started looking to replace it with something small with a different style mouthpiece, and was thinking of getting another sake bottle, because I like adding these little bullet ice cubes through the down-stem joint, (it never feels like much trouble to remove the downstem and pop a few "cubes" in) but I like the added diffusion of the ashcatcher, and i remember the sake bottle was prone to tipping with the ashcatcher.

So I decided to look for something similar, but different. I found this little bendy guy, and have really been liking it.

Dynavap.com

I've got a LOT invested in vaporizers, I'm sure many do. There are vaporizers that cost 5-10 times more than the dynavap that I have. The Dynavap produces some of the best bong rips ever ( I have the wood body that is made for it). Truly was surprised when I hit it it how thick the vapor was.

I wouldn't just get the M. I'd get the full starter kit. Every issue I've had with my dynavap was due to not having cleaned it, and the starter kit makes it easy to do. Whenever I clean out the res, it works amazingly.

The only other vaporizers I'd recommend are way more expensive for the same effect. Except, I've had to RMA them as well, which means I have duplicates for the down time which is just not worth it compared to using the Dynavap, which I now use a lot, and causes me to forget to ship my stuff back for repairs.

The all new M 2018 is nice too, quite stylish. I can't wait for my carbon fiber body to arrive today.

Otherwise use:

To keep it clean or something like that to scrub the interior. I use a scraper tool to scrap out the cap area. The hooked metal dabber works well for me to clean the res out that area.

The M is also dishwasher safe too.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but if you're cleaning your piece regularly you don't need an ash catcher. I have a lot of ash catchers, one for all my pieces. I ended up never using them. Don't get me wrong they're great because they add more character to your main piece, they're functional if you get a good one. Most if not all will add a drag, some more than others.

People think just because you have an ash catcher it will keep your main piece clean, but you're going to have to clean it at some point anyways. With an ash catcher you'll just have an extra piece to clean.

I use Grunge Off (you can get the same thing on amazon or Home Depot, it's just Citrus degreaser look for one with D-Limonene) and Resolution caps to plug/cover the joints (you can just use a wine cork, shave it down to size if needed). Let it sit over night after a big sesh, pour the used cleaner into a separate bottle because it's reusable. Your glass is literally clean as new, if there's still some resin stuck, you can use salt + ISO and shake. I rarely have to use salt and iso after a grunge off cleaning.

Having said all this, if you do end up getting an ash catcher, just stay away from honeycomb percs.

sorry for deleting my comment but im back now with better prices and information.

foodsafe silicone tubing from amazon i recommend you use, might not be the right size so just measure the original chinese one:

Like swisher said, for flower, you can't really go wrong with the stereo matrix, but I would also suggest the mobius scope as an option

As for an oil rig, since the budget is permitting, I would actually suggest the fab egg or klein recycler

From there, you just need to figure out which nail you want. Hymanquartz has a few that I would recommend: 4mm, 3mm, and thermal p bangers. He also has carb caps for the first two (thermal p comes with one), some of which have dabbers as part of it. Some other vendors like volcanee have 25mm bangers as well.

Here are some more carb cap (1, 2, 3, 4) and dabber (1, 2) options.

You could also get a a reclaim catcher (1, 2, 3) or a dropdown (1, 2) but they're absolutely necessary, it'll just keep dabs from leaking into your rig. I do think it's good to have an extra piece of glass between your piece and your nail, though.

Oh, and you'll need a torch (1, 2) and butane, though I'm not quite sure which butane you should get.

Thank you for the suggestions! Those sent me down a rabbit hole of searching and I eventually came upon this guy which seems pretty awesome! I think I’m going to order it! You really are the China glass god, haha. I’ve gone through this entire process based off of your suggestions.

I use this with sleeving for a hookah-like vapor-bong experience, very flexible and works well. You can probably find 'medical grade' or something of the sort in the same size if that is something you care about but this type of tubing is used in drink dispensers and whatnot and is safe to 500f so I figure they are safe enough for vaporizer use.

Try to find out somehow. You could maybe measure it in inches and do the conversion. As long as the inner diameter of the banger is at least 2mm larger than the insert, it will allow you to grab them with the tweezers. I bought these tweezers and they really make the insert experience worlds easier. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000OVPG9A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_th8EAbGSJ0QQF

From what you wrote, I think this would be a perfect solution. And it would only cost around $8. One thing I'll add on carb caps is I have found bubble caps to not work nearly as well with inserts as a directional cap that sits flat and rotates.

Lol oh shoot dam thats because the brand is actually called HG! Sorry! XD hahaha idk why i got it mixed around. My bad lol dam.. funny thing is i was sober when i wrote that comment and got it mixed up but rn that im a lil blown i realized it as soon as i read your reply haha ey but heres the link this time!:
Oh and my bad again haha

Herb Guard - Eighth Oz Smell... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N91WX8P?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

And if you buy this stash case from them it comes with one:

Large Smell Proof Case by Herb... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0796JRNLD?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Honest Butane Lighter. Highly recommend as the quality is superior to the one that comes w/the DynaVap starter pack.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0793JWH4K/

Plastic ones break a lot easier but I would imagine you would hear it break and/or see a piece of plastic in your flower. To answer your question; I think it's safe as long as your not smoking the plastic that comes off when it breaks.
I usually just order one of these off amazon. They've always worked well for me

This may be my best option... https://www.amazon.com/Eylar-Protective-Camera-Water-Approved/dp/B07N4CDW3L

DHGate isn't really well known for having good grinders but here's a few you may want to check out:
