Yeah the tall straight fab are more expensive, like my CaliBear one or that green one that was shared here... This ball could be small too, size can be tricky to know!
Got my Goo Roo today. I didn't have tracking so I didn't know what day or even what service would show up with it, so it was a nice surprise. Anyway, pics! I had trouble getting the color for the base to show in a photo, so there's another lit photo of it.
It's much taller than I expected, especially with the mouth piece, I'm just able to reach it from where I usually sit. Has anyone tried putting a whip of some sort on it?
I tried it with the 14mm drop down to the bowl and a 18mm drop down to the mouthpiece. It felt like too much going on, though I did prefer the height, thought not enough to use it with the awkwardness of it. I'd like to use my 18mm shovelhead with it but don't have a drop down in that configuration. I intend to do find one.Awesome! They sent me tracking for my mouthpiece today, always USPS, nice that you weren't worried about it and were able to be surprised!
Yeah it is a bit tall, you can actually try using a drop-down adapter for the mouthpiece too, I did that and it worked very well! Have not tried it with a whip as mouthpiece yet, but I have been experimenting with a wide variety especially now that I broke my original...
That color in the base of yours truly is a perfect moss green, it looks like live moss in the base!

They nailed the color. I'm really digging it so far. I am curious about a whip, I'd be able to watch the can, whereas I can't now from my angle. I've never owned a whip anything though, so I'm not sure where to start or what would fit that if anything.
Goo Roo update. I ordered the stuff to add a whip to it from Rogue Wax Works, I don't know if it'll function well, but I'm down to try it. I'm in love with the piece though. It functions way better with my FlowerPot than my other pieces, and it's the only piece I have that there's no blow back into the bowl if I don't pull it when I'm done with the FP. The function and water required is also better with my FP than most of my others. I need to try it with my FW7, but it's been so good with the VROD. It's easily a new favorite if not top favorite.
I may just keep it to myself, I have people come over that wanna hit or try things, but I'm afraid of someone trying to lift it by it's mouthpiece or something, so I think this one just stays my personal little treat. I'm enjoying it a lot.
I'm also tempted by the gooroo 3 piece, function looks right in line with my Sheldon Black but with a much wider and more stable base.
Your description sounds like the GooRoo downstem is a direct copy of Sheldon Black's bushing diffuser downstem... does yours look like this:The perc is something unique, open on the bottom down stem, with several holes poked above it, smooth purr with nice diffusion and flavor... As opposed to a tree perc or circ perc even easier to clean too actually!

I love the design, I've had my SB setup for the better part of a decade...

@Shit Snacks GooRoo makes these things...have you thought to ask them if they can repair the mouthpiece they make? It would be the first people I would ask.
Back in the day when Joda (@VaPeD&CoNfUsEd here) was still around, I broke the very top of my Sheldon Black Dub-Bub at the joint where the removable mouthpiece goes...since I knew he was glass artist since I had bought a few things from him, I asked if he could repair. He said he's never done anything like that and wasn't comfortable doing it...I told him I didn't care if he was successful and would not hold him liable...I said if you're successful, then you can add that to the list of glass skills you have. He did and it was fine.
Well, I'm not a big flavor chaser tbh so maybe something inbetween.Do you favor flavor, or are seeking cooling/smoothness to take the largest rips possible?
Your preferences will help guide you... for flavor, seek smaller pieces with less diffusion. A simple perc, or a single perc with a recycler might be good for flavor when matched with a small volume piece. Multiple percs and larger setups will help with cooling if you are more of a lung buster.
I've not used a D-series piece in years. For variety, you may want to add something with less diffusion than your D020 perc. The matrix percs you linked to above might not offer much different an experience than you already get with your D020.
Thanks for those recommendations. The double perc one and the last one (in green) look quite interesting.#@Likun yeah I agree with FlyingLow, those are pretty similar to what you already have (I also think matrix are not good perc for vaping really, I have that modular piece, with just the circ perc and main can) and it depends what you are looking for exactly...
I think inline perc, with right angle style female joint, would be nice for you to get instead of the downward perc (dewar?) style again, like if you don't mind not buying from China, the GooRoo large inline would be perfect with tetra and enano... It has a great unique inline perc, full of holes, and it is also larger than anything I've seen on DHgate (most of their inline bubblers are much smaller and just simple slits in the perc) so great compliment to what you have already!
This looks like a good option if you want to try a double perc, inline to mushroom circ perc... This one has a unique perc and is well-reviewed, tall tube with the fab egg for extra cooling...Or go for the tall straight fab, mine is great with my tetra and would be good with a log, there was a nice green one shared in here from a different website with slitted fountain perc... Also this one always looks quite good to me, also the inline perc below honeycomb to fab egg larger ones I've seen look like they would function fantastic.
If you want more of a recycler, this style of fountain perc below klein funnel is popular, there are many different types and sizes for it, though I actually really like mine that has a different design with an upline tube instead of a downline tube, and incycler downline tube instead of incycler upline... Creates the perfect recycling vortex cyclone in use, fantastic balance of diffusion and flavor!
Meanwhile this 9.8inch circ perc rig actually looks quite nice! Basic function, but solid, and some pretty etched glass, the blue glass is even a little transparent it seems:
I've only owned four or five bubblers. The D020 was my first and the D020-D my second. Once I got the D020-D I never used the D020 again and now that I have the Goo Roo Large Inline I never use either one.Well, I'm not a big flavor chaser tbh so maybe something inbetween.
I don't know about the d020, but I think when I bought it it was highly recommended (and lamart was using it also in his tubo evic videos if I remember correctly). Not a bad piece, I'm just looking for some variety. So yeah, the mobius may be too similar.
Thanks for those recommendations. The double perc one and the last one (in green) look quite interesting.#
I think I generally like pieces that add some draw resistance, I don't know why but I could never manage to "milk" my whole d020 with my tubo like I've seen in videos...

I've got a clear piece like the right one en route now. I hope it shows up sometime this month.
That GG biao tube is super solid and I've been using it with my flowerpot for a few weeks straight now. Tube diameter felt huge at first so I got one of those silicone mouthpiece reducer things, but I haven't bothered with it lately and it doesn't feel as weird anymore. It makes me drool during my hits more than I'd like to admit, but I'm working on that(okay okay I ordered the double from Greek Glass so I can actually try it to get a sense for the perc and size, with out the utterly insane shipping I hope)
Edit to Add: wow okay, USPS tracking never updated, checked DHgate and the China post 17 track, blue saki bottle was fucking returned to sender, funny how quick it ships back to them after taking months to arrive in my country, my city no less, then sits there for days before going back to them in another few days...
I have an order from August that has been returned 2x. It keeps bouncing between Suzhou and Guangzhou. The seller says it was returned by customs and the post office automatically reshipped?
I've had five other orders go through fine, but interesting that one of your packages was also returned by customs, too.
