So Yea I have (had) this SICK US Tubes reducer waterpipe with 18.8mm joint and a base that could smash through a board, all crafted in 7mm thick glass. Bought it less than a year ago, maybe 9 months.
And their glass is different than any I have used, it has. . . a feel to it that is almost more "rubbery" of a glass feeling when you run your finger over it. Feels like a pyrex measuring cup - totally indestructable.
UNTIL the other day I put in the water, put it the ice held in place by insanely perfect looking ice pinches, and inserted the downstem.
Heard the fainest sound of glass breaking, almost like someone dropped a wine glass on the other side of a house. "No way." was my thought as I looked down and saw a solid chunk, almost half, of the massive joint had split off. Not cracked, not dropped, not broken. Simply fell apart with no force applied to it beside inserting the downstem.
How can this be possible, I'm still in disbelief. US Tubes are rocking EVERYONE knows that! 7mm, even 9mm glass tubes that are proven to bust through concrete board!
It's impossible to reach them directly, and the retailer doesn't want any part of this. Hopefully someone will see this and others will say theirs broke too because I can't be the only one!
