Sprung bags

[warthog]

Whats up guys? Anyone ever buy from sprung bags recently? I ordered the 5 gal set a few years ago, and they worked great, and were very durable! Definitely a nice set of bags.. I dug em out for the first time in about 2 years, and they were all gunked up from me neglecting cleaning them..stupid i know..

Anyway, I placed an order with them again not to long ago(maybe about 2 and half weeks) and I still have not received my bags. Their website says you should have em in about 2-3 business days, and no one is responding to my emails.. kind of feeling like i got ripped off, and might order from a different company in a few days.. hoping my package didnt get snaked by the delivery service.. thoughts? thanks.

i imagine they will arrive sooner or later, sometimes it can take 6 weeks internationally.

i don't know about these sprung bags in particular, lets hope they arrive soon.

personally i've had a set of 20 gallon bubblebags from bubbleman and they have held up just about 10 years now, but you do have to use them correctly and rinse extremely well with cold water after each session. never press the hash in the bags, always scoop up the hash while it's wet so nothing sticks to the mesh. do that and your bags will last for years and years. never put them away wet of course, always hang to dry both sides totally before folding them.

i love ic mag, there is nothing we don't collectivly know about this stuff LOL!

thanks for the heads up MJBadger, maybe we should stick one of those threads warning about this in the hash section?

thanks for the replies guys! Yeah I had a feeling they are a scam since I got no replies, nor a tracking number.. I wasn't hesitant about buying them because I bought from them about 3 or 4 years ago and the bags were great! weird...

I might as well buy the bubble bags, and if i do receive the sprungs than ill try and return them or something.

Thanks again guys! A warning sticky isn't a bad idea..

you ever receive your bags? thinking about ordering my 3rd set

nevermind- as placing an order on their website is no longer an option...

Everybody rates Bubblebags but they really are a complete rip-off . They probably cost a couple of dollars for some 10yr old to stitch up in a Cambodian sweat shop or wherever they are made .
I bought one of his Catching sacs only for a 2in spout of water to pour out the bottom seam when it was hung up to drain (shit quality control) .

I found a great set called Bubblehash bags , cheaper than all the rip-offs , had them years & are still good .

I`m not sure about advertising a company on here but found them from EDIT everyonedoesit.dot com
