so much bubbles in glass
Well, i had some glass from china that was not that bad, but with some defects so i decided to buy some glass from local russian store which was(as i
thought) reliable. I thought it will be russian manufacturer like "Klin" which is good. When glass came what i saw is literally chinese glass with
russian label on it. And it has so much bubbles!
It is that bad for regular use? (Not for vaccum or something like that). Photos attached.

I'd really avoid putting much stress on that joint, and distillations where the vapor front moves slowly and has a high temperature gradient. For
example taking off a high boiling solvent where a very hot vapor front moves discretely up the stillhead and heats one side of the joint before the
other.
Reflux condenser?? I barely know her!

Ummm. I'm in the USA.
I assume that the expensive high quality American Glassware, available here... Is actually made in China.
The American Corporations involved, pay slightly more, and exercise stringent quality control.
If you are paying a premium for "Russian" Glassware, you should be getting premium Russian Quality.
We buy plenty of Chinese Glassware around here. Quality isn't really great, but it is dirt cheap. Which is OK.
Not OK, is expecting high quality, and getting glassware full of bubbles.

our amauter-chemists market is really that small so there is only few shops and they often don't care about quality or service so this is gonna be
waste of my time if i try to send it back.
No choise really, there is no different shops with "Premium" quallty.

It's obviously not ideal, but that glassware survived the thermal gradients involved in the manufacturing process.
So it is quite likely to survive those encountered in use.
Also, glass is a lot stronger and more flexible than most people give it credit for.
And
Do you know what "literally" means?
