    I bought some cheeps and my buddy tried three or so and had major issues they all broke right after the grind every time glad I just got a handfull. The rest will be used for handles and holders no way could I use um, some even made it out the kiln to pop the next day in the same place.

    I got a bunch of acugrind joints 100 for 150 from mountainart haven't had any crack or seen any chips on the joints. but I did notice the clear glass over the joint is crooked on some, but not a biggy to fix up
