Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Hey guys 'n girls.:wave: Well my FC-186 was fatally wounded and now awaits recycling.

I wasn't too disappointed. From when I bought it I was never fully happy with it and wished I had bought the slightly shorter model Newvape were demoing at the time.

They (Edwyn) recommended the 186 for the Flowerpot and lots of people bought one. But I was convinced the Newvape model, which they went on to sell themselves- was better.

So I had my second chance. I searched the gate for the exact same "mobius matrix"or "stereo matrix" bubbler model , and there was just one that looked like it. So I ordered it, £31 shipped to UK.

Check out the differences to the 186:

I really dig the look of the top one a lot more. It is a little shorter only, but the shape, design and angle of the mouthiece are what I like the most. It should also make it easier to see the vapor forming in the tube. Not very easy to look down with the 186.

So, Im very pleased actuallt to replace it. Whenever I look at this new one, photo or in Flowerpot videos, I just want to use it. Didn't feel like that about the 186.
Can't wait now!:rockon:

I have one of those D020-Ts and I have to say it's my least favorite piece. It works OK, and I would use it if I didn't have others, but it is the last choice when going to glass. When using a small piece I prefer the D020 or ash catchers on J-hooks.

Edit: So, on closer inspection I think @ataxian piece here is not really the D020-T. His piece has a honeycomb perc (uniform holes over full disk) and the 20-T actually has something I've seen referred to as a Sprocket perc (holes only around the outside of the disc). They function similarly but not quite the same. Sunshine calls it a honeycomb perc, but it isn't really one. Or at least I don't think it is...

This is his I think HoneyComb Above
i HAVE THE T AS WELL.

JAR'S OF GSC IS WHAT MAKE'S LIFE UNREAL!

20 WATER PIPES IS ALL I HAVE left? (I broke most of my piece's)

Jhook's (sherlock's) + ash collectors = standard 420 tool's!

I'll take a photo of both to show U! (this GSC is stronger than usual?)

I want to pick up either an egg or ecosphere from CCG with SOL perc. Asking those that have tried both if there's any reason to favor one over the other. Usage will be quartz banger and log vapes. Thanks.

Funny. I have been using the D020 a lot lately with VapCaps, and switching off with my j-hook and ash catcher. Last night I started using the D022 with the Lotus WPA and VCs. I think I'll lean on that for a while... :D
I love the LOTUS!

Help...! Do I need someone to talk me down from making this purchase?

From: https://verdampftnochmal.de/products/en/AWC-by-EHLE

For $195 including shipping...?!
Is this frivolous? I'm married with kids and by no means rich!
The last "rig" I bought was a purple plastic graffix bong in the late 80's (still have it)...
ACK! I hate making selfish purchases...
Your a rich guy!

This is CHEAP GLASS not BLING?

PRE RASTA daz's 70's we had ZIG ZAG's.

I never paid over $50 for a glass piece on this site?

(zombie) Woof.
pst..... do it now..... :brow: i am the wrong person to talk you out of this, i want this sweet little toy myself... but the price with shipping hurts...

and i guess it will pair pretty good with your vapcap and mv1..... :evil:
Wow, you said a lot there and none of it will go unnoticed... thank you very much for that...!

And you, too... thank you, I am rich, I guess, just maybe not monetarily... for "western" glass it doesn't seem too outrageous, minus the 37(EUR) to ship it, of course... plus it does seem very versatile (bang for buck)... which of course leads me to:

Quick answer..

Down in price
~$50 vs $195

For ability to have different Perc configurations you can get

Leaving you $145
to make unselfish purchases
Wow...! Thank you very much for your effort in providing a very practical and cost effective alternative. My only concern is it's height and tippy-ness in comparison. I mostly vape in the basement where concrete abounds despite the thickly padded area carpet and very low coffee table. I feel the ACW may have a better shot at (possibly) surviving a mishap (rationalizing?)...? In any case, it looks like it would be relatively harder to inadvertently knock over. Again, really appreciate it!

Less than $40 to my front door?
@cloudsosmoke I like the piece U linked!
And thank you again @ataxian! Can't beat that price for sure! My only issue with a "side-car" is well, the "side-car"... and it's asymmetry... But for 80% less my brain could probably get used to it!

To you all:
:rockon::clap::peace:

@Bologna, a couple more pieces similar to the Ehle:

Link. This piece was thin and not the best quality, but functional. Unfortunately only available with amber accents. Wouldn't buy unless you're willing to really baby it.

Can't link because counterfeit, but can be found pretty easily searching "Illadelph". This one was thicker and better quality, but kinda small and mine arrived with a broken downstem so had to negotiate partial refund from seller. Really not a fan of logos and I didn't have any luck removing them.

Ended up getting rid of both, but still like the form factor so might try something similar from Steven if he were to produce it.

edit: btw Ehle is great quality glass and was my first "high end" glass purchase circa 2005

Hey, is this a yes?

*****,ok,, we will make them.

jane

Good show, ol' chap. :tup: I too have been keeping a list of pieces I would like Steven to offer.


I'm still waiting for an answer to my previous question. Anyone???

Do carb stoppers have a more dramatic tapering down angle (degree-wise) as compared to a less dramatic tapering down angle on a carb plug? I hope you guys understand what I'm asking cause it certainly wasn't well said. :p Thanks!

@Summer, is this what you're talking about? I don't understand the distinction you're making between plug versus stopper.
