@Twich..I just said good morning to the nail! FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH the Wildrok is absolutely quality..beautifully made..How are your new pieces from Seattle treating you?

@Kerm. thanks man, yeah I was having fun within 5 minutes of opening the box!......who the hell smokes oil through a gravity bong!? :shock: I got a great deal on this piece, all thanks to James at PERCOLATED They are a great company that provided outstanding service on all fronts, i cant recommend them highly enough. (pun intended)

Kerm ive no idea about all the terminology of the bong yet, but i think that's just called the down stem and yes it reduces the hole size for the nail attachment..but dont quote me lol

time to heat that nail again, the qwiso is going quickly. :D


gonna heat me some Ti

I believe yer downstem is a reducing diffuser ( Check me oot :mrgreen: ) ..meaning, it is 18mm on the outside, and 14 on the inside.....The thing Kermit means, is one of these...

I need to use that, as I prefer using my Roor Diffusers, and they are all 18mm...

hit me up if ya need a dabber nizzle. i can just grab ya one and put it in a jiffybag if ya want. I think they are $10-$15 cant imagine getting charged vat on such a small item. although im probably very wrong lol.

and the us gov does the same thing. i used to get customs statements when i'd buy football shirts and glass from edit. would get a notice a few weeks later saying i owed so and so amt of $. would always jut throw it in recycling. :P

The only way to get around any import tax is to get someone from the US to buy it for you and send it as a present/gift, you could say it's a vase or something, you'd just have to declare it's value as less than the cut off point (haven't a clue what it is).

Yeah, thats great....however, I sent close to 500 dollars worth of stuff...why would I mark that as less, and take the risk of not getting refunded when they arrive damaged etc...Bite the bullet, and pay the import charge on Arrival...for me, it was only 40 quid......the 8 quid that Parcel Force charge just for handleing it ( they didnae deliver it mind....We went and picked it up! ) was the real slap in the face...even paying the import fee, I still saved a fortune...as all the stuff I bought, would have a huge mark-up in the U.K..
Oh, and it was marked as a gift :wink:
