There are lots of forums dedicated to nice glass.
I have an $800 Syn. Showercap/4arm showerhead. It's stemless and it rips like a champ. I just got into the glass scene but I'm already looking at new pieces. And OP: SG > Toro
The toro prodo work that JP puts out isn't at all the same as his worked stuff (which is far higher quality), plus Toro outsources their trees to zob, or they did. Even still though, your Toro is sick, and I bet it rips like a champ. Are you over on BG, TC, or FMB? I'm on FMB and GD under the name hydrophilic. I'll post some pics of my Syn later if I remember.
Once you hit high end glass you will never go back, it's a different experience at the very least. too bad it's just do damn expensive. OP is right about China glass being shitty as fuck. Fuck supporting head shops with shit like that.
