There are a couple 60t for sale/trade on glass.nuggetry.com. I see alot of Mobius pieces posted there every week.

Trying to decide if I was to pull the trigger and get the
Mobius Ion Matrix Bubbler


Is it really a good Bubbler??? As you can see in my side I have 2 Black Leafs I like ok,, Really dont have much Experience with Perch and Bubblers and such to know what to look for..

What sets the Mobius Ion Matrix Bubbler apart from others???

Why is it so good?


Thanks!

p.s. You cant use ice in it correct?

It's probably the best glass I've owned, not saying that's a lot but I've owned David Goldstein and Black Leaf pieces and they just can't compare to the smoothness of Mobius.

Besides the dragless design, it's super easy to clean and has a very efficient base protecting it from a fall unlike its brother, the Clear Matrix.

No, due to the dewaar joint you can't use ice in it, however the bub's design allows so much diffusion that ice is unnecessary.

Cool.. That you for the Info.. You recommend any good place to find it on the Net? I have checked a few places and it is sold out.. I see the going price is $330 it looks like..

Hey vtac - Did you go to the 420 show? I so wanted to drive down but just couldn't pull it off.

Mobius pieces are generally hard to find. Your best bet was to do what I did and set your homepage to ALT's Mobius section and wait for a shipment from the company.

I did not. Sure wish those pics were mine, though!

Here's my Ion getting cleaned up. Still one of my favorite toys!

Hey, vtac.... I should've been more clear that my post about using bison urine to clean glass was just an April Fools Joke.

What are you using in there?

See, I knew it. I'm a little upset that I bought my Ion Matrix after Mobius started blowing up in popularity and their production volume increased. I feel like they changed the design of their Matrix perc and I was originally interested in purchasing an Ion that looks similar to vtac's. Instead I get this:

Does anyone see what I'm trying to say or am I just going crazy??
Don't get me wrong, I love this piece.. just wish the perc looked differently for aesthetic purposes.
I think the only options I have are to either deal with it, or sell it and find someone selling their older model. If only...

I dont even have one you(Got one on order) but yours looks like a knock off or something.. Where did you buy it from and how much you pay if you dont mind me asking?

If I received that I would return it.. Looks nothing like the real ones..

The original perc design was even larger. Back then people complained that it wasn't possible to get all the holes firing. That was still the case with the shorter version seen in my pics. Whether or not the non-firing holes contribute to the drag-less-ness at all is up for debate. The aesthetics are personal preference, but you're probably not missing anything as far as functionality is concerned.

Glassblowers change their designs from time to time. I wouldn't worry about it too much. With a smaller matrix you'll be able to use less water which can be a plus.

 

[stickstones]

I think vtac's is an older version. mine is like yours and it works great. just enjoy using and don't sweat the small stuff!

Good Info.. I did not realize that.. Now I am not so worried about mine I have on order..

 

[lreindl]

Ooo cool pic vtac! Now that is a cool perc.

And you're right SS - all the holes fire so it's pointless to sweat the small stuff.

 

[toros23]

I did not. Sure wish those pics were mine, though!

Yeah, you and me both! I have been drooling over the Instagram photos, just gotta be in the right place at the right time I suppose. BTW, nice Ion! I do like the way the older percs look and have no doubt it performs great. I also wonder if yours was made by the man (ciRclE) himself...

 

[Ripbongs420]

I personally like the smaller matrix. And I see, admittedly without having tried both, it as an improvement. I can tell you that the smaller one performs outstanding. Why have unnecessary holes when it is pretty hard to maintain just two rows? I also see it as an asthetic improvement. Looks much better balanced to me.

Also ALT should update their descriptions. I have 22 vertical with 3 horizontal, that's 66.

If I received that I would return it.. Looks nothing like the real ones..

If you are talking about the off lean to the downstem, I think that is just the water refracting the light.

I searched this thread and did not really see much on this but do you Mobius Ion Matrix Bubble owners recommend a good storage case for it? I assume it just come bubbled wrapped?

Thanks!

I use the Ryot Axe Pack 14" for my Mobius beaker. Would be perfect for the Matrix as well. A high-quality case for a high-quality piece

I agree...I have the same Riot piece that I just picked up when I bought my Ion a few weeks ago. A very nice case for the Ion...

when you say beaker, do you mean large matrix clear bubbler? just want to make sure it fits if i get, also how much width room around the base if so?

Looks good but would the 10 inch one work for the Matrix? The Matrix is 9.5 in tall.

Yeah I agree. Less = more with the Matrix perc.

Matrix is the perk version, not the model. If you call a headshop and tell 'em you're looking for a Mobius Matrix they'll ask you which matrix perk you're looking for.
