The cheaper Ebay china lab-glass works wonderful, no need to buy the expensive glass.
And you can bye more and don't get so sad when anything breaks.
I doubt you even see the difference.
Save your $$$ for the more expensive stuff as large sep. funnels, stirring hotplate, good scale and vacuum pump.
I would do like this, but its your $$$.
Growing active and sacred plants and mushrooms is fun.
Chemistry and technology is fun.
Anger, violence and restricting rules are NO fun...
