I really liked this design but wasn't sure about the quality. After some digging I found that Custom Creations are produced in the USA, but as one user states:


I wonder what type of glass Smoking J's using?

From the web site it looks like there are all American (http://smokinjs.com/store/go/about-us/). They feature "no imports" on glass, and claim to make a lot of what they sell. I dig Kmac and Scott Sherrell pipes, Smokin Js sells them exclusively. They said Lucas Paulazzo (he makes the torch dome perc bub mentioned in this thread http://smokinjs.com/store/product/2887/7"-Tall-Scientific-Dome-Percolating-Hand-Blown-Glass-Bubbler/) is from southern Oregon.

Do they even make this??? I'm trying to find the cheapest bubbler possible, without sacrificing quality. I would also like to avoid anything made in China, because FUCK CHINA!! :ko: I'm new to glass and am not sure what characteristics make for a better glass piece; I assume that there is an optimal thickness, diffusion style (for vaping at least), etc. I simply can't believe that some pieces are $300+ but again, I'm new to glass and so probably would not be able to appreciate some of the higher end products. Anyway, I prefer something with a little less diffusion to preserve flavor (I believe I read somewhere on here that diffusion reduces flavor, of vapor). If I can't find anything sub-$80-100, I'll probably just get an Ehle 250, but I prefer the aesthetics of a bubbler versus any bong. Thanks for the help, peoples of the FC community.
Btw, it's for vaporbonging with a CRZ (shipped today :D).
And also, I have skimmed the other threads containing similar content; however, those threads placed emphasis on optimizing quality, whereas I am looking for the cheapest while not being crappy, so mods don't go banhammer on me pl0x ;)

You guys have been talking about cheap bubblers in this thread, but it seems like only glass on glass connections have been featured. Is there any reason you don't like fixed drop stems? Like this one, you get a diffused stem and sand blasting for only $59.99 http://smokinjs.com/store/product/1...ass-Hammer-Bubbler-with-Sand-Blasted-Designs/

Most vaporizers connect to glass-on-glass fitting more effortlessly than a push-bowl.

The underdog vaporizer does well with that type of bubbler though.

Going back thru the thread (looking for some particularly nice pieces I remember seeing in here) and I stumbled onto this. Don't remember seeing it before. Not many details, but that does look like a 14mm fitting, doesn't it?


6" clear glass water bong - $13.99



Adding more as I go along. Another I don't remember seeing.

16" QUADRIPARTITE inline perc - $99

I think that's a 14 gong, but it looks like the stem and bowl are all one piece, so to use the 14 joint, you'd need to buy another downstem.

That second one looks nice! I'd like one much smaller. Maybe half that size for half that price? :p

Ever since this got posted I have been drooling over it how do you glass gurus think the drag will be on it? I know the percs are overkill for vapor but I'll probably pick it up with a dome I thought this guy might be good for oil, that and I love the feeling of clearing a tube compared to a bub. So input and criticism welcome don't wanna get a piece with way too much drag or something.

I gotta admit. That Black Leaf is a real nice piece.

Btw, I think you missed one, Abysmal. This goes over my preferred size... but damn... 17" and perc'd like that. Niiiiiiice. I bet Frederick might even overlook his 10-12" limit for this.

HIGHEND 17" 12 arm stemless w/ 6-arm downtube - $129.00 (marked down $20)


One thing I don't understand, is why the Hell put ice pinches, 5" below the mouthpiece? Please...

Plus, I just really don't get it. I've tried ice in pretty much everything. SO its cold and the smoke/vapor is cooler. Eh... I'm going to get the desired effect, using the room temperature water, I typically have in my piece. Heck, I even refill them, with room temp water. Maybe its for looks. I have to admit, I like the look of it. Especially, circular ones, like in MiO's and other brands.

Reaaaally tempted to buy this. Just wish I could see it in person so I could get a better idea of the quality. Can't find any information on the company either.

Hello All, so I have a buddy here in Portland who blows glass.
he is loved for his bubblers and sells at many local shops i.e., nomad's, mary jane's,
oregon glass source, etc. i finally got him to start doing GonG oil rigs. He loaned me two so that i could show them off to you guys to see if anyone here is interested. gonna take a few snap shots and vid here. curious if i should shoot video of it being used (w/ my own ti nail, not the one provided) or if just vid of the water bubbling will suffice. opinions requested.
p.s. the are inline percs

A bit of both if you have time would be much appreciated, if not a dab off your nail would be good.

Thanks Bob
