Did I get duped ?

Nice try.

 

If the price was for 500 Chinese Yuan, you did not get duped.

 

lol

 

Hon, even if you get your (likely) copycat piece of glass, you may find a large and unexpected charge for a luxury item on your credit card during the next couple of months. And I'm not touching that link!

Next time, support an American artist, not some Chinese sweat shop!

I doubt you do either if you have to ask a silly question like this.

also treat our Granny Storm Crow with respect. She's earned it

 

I think this is a clickbait advertisement or something haha nice try !!! Send the mods in as vultures.. clear shop save the day !!!

Definitely don’t expect anything buying from China. They bait and switch a ton !!! And they say pic isn’t a representation of the product too .
They make too many products there it’s massive .
Any nation can produce fakes tho .. and knock offs are popular.

 

I don't know if its fake. But, China is known for imitations. Better luck next time.

 

Yes it looks legit to me. That company has a warehouse in China. Doesn't mean your product is fake or anything. It's around the same price as it should be also. If it was a fake it would cost you $30 or something. Dhgate is the place where people buy the Chinese garbage.

 

Any pics of the bong. ?? The link is essentially advertising goes to no specific topic .
Or is this a troll bait thread lol

 

You always talk shit about Chinese glass despite so many people having good experiences when they actually know what to buy, but I swear you posted how your expensive roor broke before?

 

Not saying good glass doesn't break but that's a story for another thread. This isn't China glass I believe the studenglass is German in origin.

 

I was wrong this is made in China. I wouldn't purchase it but that's my personal preference.

What country are Stündenglass products manufactured, and we noticed you offer a 10 year warranty which is amazing, does that cover everything?
Stündenglass is manufactured in China under strict ISO13485 medical manufacturing guidelines . The 10 year warranty covers the metal parts. -from Redefining The Bong - Interview With Stündenglass Creator Of The Gravity Bong | Extract Magazine

 

I think the fragile stuff is dhgate or similar stuff sold for cheaper, that brand is legit high quality and there are more .
Unfortunately due to regulatory practices in China no idea if harmful chemicals could end up in cheaper gear , prob not top shelf stuff .

most products are made in China and the break a lot so until there’s a study or mega thread debunking China glass as bad , and proves it’s good then I’m afraid of cheap China gear .
Essentially rolling the dice on glass bongs , I guess if you got money to blow you can try out China vs American gear in a shootout but only someone wealthy could afford that . If you end up breaking it in tests then that’s sad yes , but o well .
Can more threads proving China glass isn’t trash be made ? Or something otherwise I’ll stick to proven brands preferably USA .
May get a China model someday , too broke to risk it breaking .

 

Firstly, not Student Glass, no student made it. Ex Appl employees yes, and it is very nice unlike what the nasa engineers did with the herbalizer - now defunct.
Yeah assembled in China, but you can only atm get it from the website and local dealers. Which is how I found out about it from a smoke shop in Mi, dude had one on display demanding full retail.
Went to website got $120 off and used sezzle.
