What do you guys think about glass from China? I have herd some bad things but im looking at a bong that looks top notch. Its an 18 inch tall beaker bong with a 10 arm perc (diffused). 5 mill thick. 18.8 mill glass on glass and diffused down stem. All clear and scientific looking with "inside out" style art on the top of the perc. $150, what do you think, should i buy it? or does anyone know of another bong like that for the price? Thanks!
i voted no before i read the thread but i know a friend of mine bought a china tree/inline perc for 200 and its a small looking piece of shit honestly looks like it would break in a second. i've always stuck to avoiding cheap end percs they're known to be unreliable. hope this helps and not trying to bash it if you like it but have you seen it in person? and pics would help.
Sounds dope how many slits are on each tree and are try open ended trees. If there open ended I would say yes it's 150 bucks y not. It will preform nicely for the money but on the other hand won't last as long as say a. Nice us tube that will last you a lifetime but u get what you pay for
My "china" Hoss has served my well,hasnt broken from a fall,unlike my weedstar. ALso its 7mm so yeah. Picked up a stemline today on alt,waiting for it,then i will see if "highend" glass is what they say it is,or is a bong a bong?
Thanks for all the help everyone! the polls say no but the forums says yes so Im still kinda torn. To answer some questions though, its got 4 slits on each arm and open bottoms, so thats 50 points of diffusion, that turns me on haha. And it was in a smoke shop I was looking at it side by side to all of his other bongs and it looked the same quality build but with a way nicer perc then the others and its cheaper! so I asked him why and he told me its cuz its from china and the others are american. But for $150 i cant even get a american bong with a perc it doesnt seem like. DOes anyone know of another 10 arm perc for $150 online or something? Thanks!
my first bong was a china bong still have it now i have a local blown 12 inch tube 80$ for thick local glass i love it got to get a new slide for it
I feel like a lot of people on this site are voting no just because its china glass, no real reason. If you want something thats going to last you a very long time, buy some glass blown by someone experienced. If you want something realitively cheap, with a perc or two that'll hit pretty decent, get china glass. Just know that you're going to need to be more careful with it. It will be easier to break, but its still gonna need to be banged or dropped or whatever to break. The last bong i had was china, lasted until someone knocked it over and the joint broke. I can almost guarentee that non-china glass would've been fine, but i can also almost guarentee that non-china glass with 2 perc, and a diffused downstem would've cost me atleast twice as much.
Roor, toro, Sg are all crappy quality don't buy one Pick up a Weedstar inline they hit great. Honestly to say china glass is shit. My girlfriend and I were like I wonder why it sucks so much other then the hits so We go outside and throw it towards the ground...Yeh smashed like nothing. So I stepped on the base...Yeh SHIT. Spend the extra money and get something good I never tried high end but just go out spend 20 dollers on a china piece test its strength its shit nothing but stale smoke.
Pretty sure homeboy hit the bong too hard before he posted...the quality o fall of the companies should never be questioned. Weedstar is questionable...but I own the Single perc messias beaker bottom and my only complaint is the drag and I can get over that.
I can say from experience not to buy china glass. its worth the extra money to get quality, unless this piece actually is nice thick glass. But, china glass will break much easier. Shit the base on the first bong i had cracked into 4 or 5 different pieces not from being knocked over, but from being put down gently on a wood floor. i say get a cheaper quality piece(no perk and shit) and then save up for a real nice ashcatcher to throw on that bitch
I used to own a china bong with a 6 arm perc until the perc broke from a slight tap on the tube. It was also VERY draggy. I felt like I was going to pop a vein in my forehead just trying to take a decent size toke. Now i'm not one to judge glass I think china glass is normally fine if your paying like 30-70$ tops but 100+ is where you can start to find things much better for the same price. Maybe not all the bells and whistles but better quality is worth it. My perc broke after about 2 hard weeks of use.
I owned a china bong and the joint broke a few months after i got it. I own another but its small and for vaping. Go with something made in the US
buy whatever you want. its about the weed. not the glass and if its about the glass, dont buy china glass.
You say you want the same features in quality glass for the same price as china? Makes it sound like you don't really care about the qualities, you care about price. In the real world you do not get quality for the same price as economy. What would ever posses anyone to think that? A BMW for the price of a Kia? Get real man, nothing in life works like that, so why would you assume it happens in the glass world? Put it this way, that china piece cost all of $5 in material to make, and they jack it to $150, when the borosilicate piece cost $80 in material and they still sell it for $150. And you say the boro piece is expensive when you are literally being raped with no lube on the cheap china piece. Anyone who pays over $50 for a piece of china junk is being ripped off big time. I used china glass for the better part of 15yrs, i had no idea what i was missing out on...
Wo man I didnt say anything about wanting US made glass at the same price with the same features? I just asked if theres any other ones like this one, from china or whatever, Im just shopping around for the bang for my buck haha
