Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[Ramahs]

I guess that's just the thing about art. It's value is in the eye of the beholder.

I've never spent more than $100 on a piece of glass either.
Hell, I think the most I've spent is $80.

But once in a blue-moon, I feel like I should be able to reward myself with something nice that I've saved up for. This was one of those times (I received a promotion at work a couple weeks ago).

Oh well. It is what it is.

Congrats on the promo @Ramahs , keep doing what you do !

I can see a RC or similar ball pump rig in my future. Or a taller rig then my D020 . Although not sure how beneficial it would really be to have it taller , I don't find it harsh at al.

I'm really satisfied with my d020 . Indeed a great starter , I think it cost me $20cNd . The d020-D was a good $10+extra when purchased nov/dec2018, figured I'd start where one should start at the bottom with the d020. I doubt any other rig can give me the same bang for buck vAlue to be honest. I mean would it work twice as good if I paid twice as much for smithing similar ? Honest question I suppose . I will get a RC or something eventually and have one or the other for backup ..

And then possibly another and .... .. different Vape different bong right .

different Vape different bong right .

Sometimes, I do not like using any restrictive vape (Vapcap,Arizer Air) with any of my Matrix percs because they exacerbate the problem, they are best used in something like a RC or D020.

I guess that's just the thing about art.

Always makes me laugh when people call tools Art, cheap bubbler=tool, the arty farty stuff is for the display cabinet, I would consider all scientific glass a tool, even the Mobius stuff, no dragons wings to chip or aliens to probe you.
That Grav piece looks very functional and very well built, not arty-farty for sure, and you know it is well built, like a Craftsman shifter compared to a Chinglese model (lucky dip).
DHGate is the closest thing I do to gambling.

Just different definitions of art.
Nothing wrong with that though.
Is what it is.

Hey Ramahs. That arcline looks awesome, same with the upright version. I bookmarked them for when i'm in the market for new glass.

Wanted to ask though. It seems like the slide is built in, and would only really be usable for combustion. Does that seem right or am i missing something?

Some of the reviews seem to confirm it is nonremovable so limits how you can use the glass.

The listing says it has a female 14mm joint and comes with that bowl as standard, only the downstem is fused as part of the bong, this has the 14mm female joint.

that is odd. a review on one of them the person was pretty upset after receiving theirs andnseeing it was fixed.

thanks for the reply, may have to reach out to grav to confirm. would hate to get a piece and then be stuck.

im not in the immediate market, but that upright one isnt to bad a ptice.

I have not seen the RC in person and know nothing about it's quality of construction other that it being a Steven piece so likely well built and heavier glass. I don't doubt that it is a solid choice or durable. I am merely saying that I TEND to buy pieces where the joint is directly over the can like D020, and FC-187 and FC UFO and D022 just because they are sturdier and less likely to tip. I do have other pieces that are not designed like that, like my vapecycler, but I generally go that way.

And I fully agree.

Personally I think the Arcline is beautiful, it's just way out of my price range. The most expensive piece I have even bought was just north of half of that, and it was a recycler so had some action.

MAUI WOWIE is crazy quality!
Class is obtainable ...
E=MC2 can't feel stuff?
I broke all da costly items!
Love water path!

It has a 14mm GonG, and comes with this 14mm slide:

You can even see the GRAV logo from the inserted slide in the main pic:

So yes, it works with vapes just like any other glass piece with a 14mm GonG connection.

And here is a video, to remove any doubt:

OK, I'd pay $55.

The upright does not appear to have a removable bowl. It is not like the Hemisphere I posted about...I repeat, it does not have a removable bowl!

It is combustion only. Do not buy for using with vaporizers.

Congratulations on your promotion! For sure rewarding yourself with something special means following your hearts desire. A beautiful piece of glass is a wonderful thing to splash out on.

Congrats indeed @Ramahs !

Is anyone in the US getting nailed for custom fees on dhgate glass?

 

[alltoreup]

Speaking of hydra tubes...I noticed yingming5 has a few new designs. I picked this up the other day. I like the flat mouthpieces on my other rigs and have one HT with a flat one I like pretty well so I’m hoping this works well.

I ordered a Rattle Can plus a few adapter pieces. And now the wait begins...

Tracking update, my RC is in NYC with expected delivery this week!

Please let up know if they try to get you for duty fees.

 

[Ramahs]

I don't think I've ever gotten any extra fees from my DHGate orders.

 

[cybrguy]

I occasionally have gotten a small customs fee when ordering from DHGate and AliBaba and even ebay, but it is only occasionally and I haven't been able to figure out on what basis I get the charge. It has always been small enough that it wasn't important enough for me to source it.

I think I may have even seen one from Amazon...

I just went back in my CC bill and found one. It was an AliExpress order from February, which must have been my HCigar mod. The item price was about $57 and there was an additional "Foreign Transaction Fee" as a separate transaction of $1.70.

How does it work? Do they send you something in the mail with instructions on how to pay the extra fee before they'll release it from customs?

 

[cybrguy]

I added info to my previous post as you hadn't yet replied and I didn't want to double.

It may be a fee for for currency conversion rather than customs I can't say for certain...

 

[Ramahs]

Ahh. I see. So it wasn't on your original invoice from AliExpress and it just showed up on your card?
Was it immediate, or some days after the original transaction?

Hope you don't mind the questions. It's pure curiosity so I'll know what it is if I see it on my end

Will do. ETA is Thursday.

No problem. It has the same transaction date as the sale, so it is more likely to be a currency conversion fee than customs.

This is the same kind of transaction I have seen before so I probably am not getting any customs charges.
