Just note that the extreme frit has a lot of draw restriction. I think the same site offers a dragless version that would be way easier on the lungs.

Usually, a fritted disc is a rather expensive perc because Goldstein was the only one using them, but since others have started to use them the competitions prices have been way lower than Goldstein's.
These will be about the least expensive fritted pieces that you are going to find.
David Goldstein claims to be the originator of the fritted disc, although the fritted disc filter has been in use with scientific glass for a very long time. His pieces would be way more expensive than what you will find on Thickqualityglass.
Interesting… just looked up his site. Don't think there's anything there for less than $350. Is there anything that justifies that price? Are they superior products in the way they function?
While it would be really nice to have one of those, the cost is more than I would like to spend right now having just picked up the E-Nano and accessories.
The one at thickqualityglass is also beautiful. I would be very proud to have that - and it's 3 to 5 times less money. It would feel bad enough to break something that costs $120. But something that cost $350-$500 plus... it would really suck to break one of those.
Goldstein, Mobius, SG, etc... they are all flawless pieces and are as much functional art as anything. Also you pay for the name. Does a Gucci handbag and a $15 knock off both hold stuff and hang off your shoulder? They sure do... so is there a reason to get one over the other? Depends on the person i suppose.
For me, I like the middle of the road between quality and price. This one I just picked up for $175 shipped and pairs very well with the E Nano.

Ash catchers are especially important to fritted percs because they can become clogged with small debris, oils, and waxes over time. I love my DG fritted disc. It's soooo smooth and cools just right, but I do take care to keep it very clean. Fritt's are my favorite bubbs!Very nice. And I hear what you're saying regarding price versus a name. While some things are absolutely worth buying the name, I'm pretty private about this kind of stuff.
Functional art. I like that term.
Really nice videos by the way.
You know, I wonder what ash catcher would work well with the dragless fritted perc from thickqualityglass? Do people find ash catchers important? I wish I could find something that fits snugly but basically sat level so it wouldn't imbalance the unit overall.

I wanna know what dafuq this dragless frit is...
(I saw the link, and the piece, I just don't see how it would be anywhere close to dragless...)
Just by their design, frits are one of the more draggy percs, I know they can have different levels of porousness, but dragless? color me skeptical.
hasn't bothered me...
Those of you waiting on orders from Kathy Hu need to open disputes. I just went through this with "her."
AliExpress wont let this person sell there anymore. My stuff showed shipped for 2 weeks without moving. When I emailed, I was told Kathy was unable to ship the product as AliExpress wont let them sell there anymore. I was given a link to their DHGate store instead.

I opened a dispute which they confirmed in about 5 minutes and Im currently awaiting a refund.
Ali does not allow me to sell glass pipes
pls visit my another online shop to order

thanks
I have to admit it sure does, but why would she leave her site up on A.E.? Oh well some things dont make sense at times.Non the less thanks for the heads up, Wu's store was sweet, best prices on import, there are others a little bit over her numbers but it is what it is for now
I dont know.. Im almost wondering if there is another party in the mix here. Some kind of middleman buyer
Anybody familiar with this little beauty right here? Or with Grace Glass in general. At $76, I certainly like the price!

maybe malicious re -direct software might be in the mix.I would think that competition is fierce and maybe some one is using technology to foil their competitions wave of success.
something just doesn't sit right. we have all been buying from her for quite a while and for the response she gave to P.M. ,something is fishy with out a doubt.
I dont know about that. I definitely bought from her. I canceled my order from her and disputed it and within minutes the dispute was settled. Im just waiting for funds to come back now.
Id love to buy more of her stuff.. I just dont want my money tied up at this point.
EDIT - I think I figured out what happened. Im going to have to give Kathy the all clear for now. It appears the guy I bought my other two bubblers from has been booted off of AliExpress. Kathy said the postal service must have lost my other one.
I just ordered 2 more pieces from Kathy so hopefully they show..
What is the URL for Kathy's offerings?
I wasnt aware that Sunshine Store and Kathy Wu's store were of the same ownership.I may be wrong, but a year ago,I was looking at their store as well as Kathy Wu's store and sunshine had very little similar inventory when compared to one another and prices were off on most by at least 10$ or more. just saying
Heres a link to one of her offers. I ordered one of these and a 14mm ash catcher with a 45 degree GonG bong connection for my big Syn tube.
