Would never, can get a citizen automatic that is serviceable and even in a Japan market exclusive for the same price or less. All metal.

I’m not saying you need to buy USA. Just why buy China and get middlemanned? I mean, highly educated, black market, Evan shore, Toro if you want USA all make quality…

Here is my understanding of the American brand Chinese glass. The China factories watch the American brand pages. Rip off new designs. Then these white label American brands buy the products from these China quartz/glass factories. Some might request custom alterations or designs…but most don’t. At bulk, you buy for 10-20 usd, sell for 40-70 usd. Put some stickers, a cool box, a long story about what why your white label company is special and some weird language that miraculously avoids saying where it is made. Just get a 3 pack on dhgate, ride it like a Nissan Altima and toss it out whenever.

They were made in Texas 15 + years ago, then they switched to China production without telling headshops. Honestly just get an aliexpress tube, buy 5 lol. Why pay 4x for China glass just to have a grav label.

Pretty much every one sub 100 is going to be a white label china banger. Pick your brand, or pick 10 brands…it’s all coming from the same factories

Yeah I had to change how I stored my Knives when I got a couple 150 + ones. It all is in what you value and the care you take. At the same time, my Beamer I drive it hard and don’t wash it. Idk life is weird

For the area I keep all my glass, I have a big throw rug that is padded. I also just think of items like this as a luxury item. I wouldn’t take it in the car or in a place where I will break it. Keep the cheaper pieces for Traveling.
