Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[poonman]

Although , I've heard some posts of bad QC issues from ' Made in China products ' . ( and justified )
All you members have me itching big time for one of these pieces .
I've mentioned that I had to sign up to view the Alibaba stuff , and I'm guessing Aliexpress is a partner
of theirs . They are persistent tho , they keep sending me offers to view .
Here's one , BTW I used a different sign up name as you can see ....hehe

 

[jambandphan03]

yeah you might have to block them from email if you don't want offers. I get them too

 

[ou812?]

Hmmm MAybe just Im lucky,I get nothing other than who I'm dealing with alerts ie:shipping notice, purchase order receipts.Nothing more.
Just a sweet little vein of some fun,decent inexpensive glass.There are some outfits like we see that do one up but I have seen others who also have some decent pieces but no where is there any prompts for one up,ALL BULK. And seeing some of what is available with @ bulk #'s ,makes you think what some folks mark this stuff up to.Some of those pieces you can get for 7 or 8 bucks when doing a 100 pc. lot,then selling em for 50,60,70,$ its all good but even better for us who know where to get them for a steal as well.Eliminating the middle is always a good thing unless your walking a bridge! or your the middle

OK y'all I have to post about finding this one, and ordering it just now... http://www.dhgate.com/product/hand-blown-glass-vase-straight-base-water/166215931.html

I hope it turns out to be a good one. Price was super low, I got that plus a J hook for just over $50 shipped. Hope it isn't a let down. They wanted close to $80 for the same piece on aliexpress...then suddenly it was not available anymore. I don't want to get too excited until it gets here, but if this turns out to be as nice as the pic shows, it will be a real bargain. What I like is the perc, its got the stemless look, but is a top feed on the draw, so you won't have to lift as much water on the inhale as you do with the regular stemless design that puts water into the stem. It does look fairly basic otherwise... we'll see how it turns out when I get it. I hope this can conclude this round of GAS.

I love how it doesn't phase them that they are writing to a guy named "Dick Head"

Brilliant!

The Bingo Double Showerhead showed up today from Pipesdaddy. First things first. The case it comes in is sturdy as fuck (pic) and the cutouts in the foam are perfect. More cutouts can be added by the user for more accessories (pic).

The storage jar is just that. There is a closed weld that does not offer access to the lower 19mm joint from the can itself (pic). It's more of a novelty than a useful joint.

The build quality is solid! I'm not 100% sure, but I think the can and base are 5mm and the mouthpiece section is made with 3mm. Please don't hold me to this because I am honestly not sure. The welds are clean, the braces are sturdy, the joints are solid and chamfered. I'm not seeing any bubbles. The 2x Showerhead and the cuts in them are fucking perfect! It's reinforced to the bottom. The only problem is that only the top one fires (vid 1) unless you are pulling like a maniac (vid 2). The upside is that the pull on this thing is smooooth. Almost no drag and no perceivable chug that I can feel. Stacking action is excellent. I like the mouthpiece on this bubbler. It is solid and a great length for this piece.

The 19mm joint up top is countersunk. I see this as a downside because it will not work with certain adapters that may have a large flange between joints. For instance, I can not use my inline AC with this piece without a 19mm male to 19mm female adapter, but the only one I own has a flange between the two joints and that flange comes into contact with the top of the can before it seats all the way within the 19mm joint.

I hate the logo and will be removing it.

Any questions, just ask. Pictures and video time!











The closed weld at the mouthpiece.

 

[jambandphan03]

that looks like a pretty solid piece there Deadshort. Nice pics and vids!!

 

[Oscar_Milde]

Looks nice! What's with the panicked LSV gyration?

 

[Deadshort480]

That's how I always use the LSV. Whirl it to spread the heat.

 

[way2]

I do the same thing!! I feel it heats the bud better. I think I picked that up from vids in this thread.

 

[S1N3]

I'm glad your all enjoying those great finds! It gives me great pleasure just to share a now popular link(s), with you great people! That is what I love about this forum, being able to learn and share ideas and products is what it's all about!

Diggen my Lotus setup, thanks for the ideas on this beast.

the honeycomb ash catcher was from here though you can get it for $28 maybe cheaper: http://www.ioffer.com/i/glass-ash-catcher-downstem-ashcatcher-bowl-a039-19-546335508

Thought so. Do you find it has a "hot spot" if you keep it still? My SSV definitely does, but LSV seems to vaporize a load very evenly, aside from the little glass bumps that hold the screen in place, those get in the way a bit...

That is awesome! Loving that combo! Makes me want to get the coil out and fill em up!

Absolutely there is a hot spot unless you rotate the saber like that. It makes for much more even toasting.

 

[deadheadbill]

There is a hotspot, but I never rotate it. Too lazy even when I had the wpa. Now I just use a 18x18 male and stir occasionally, works great.

 

[jambandphan03]

That is a nice double set up you got there S1N3, with the a/c in line, and not really a bad deal on that $30 a/c simply because it looks like it's already in the US so shipping would be less time.

I already got my shipping notice from my DHGate purchase, that was fast! less than 24 hours since I placed the order. Of course now it will be a bit of a wait for shipping, but that was much quicker than I anticipated for processing. I do believe my aliexpress pieces are also in transit, but have not actively located any tracking info for them yet. It's been 12 days since I ordered those, and I expect it to be a little longer of a wait.

Thanks for posting the Lotus gif. I never really looked into them much due to the size of the disk not being as discrete as I prefer, but now that I've seen a few in action on glass, I will be watching for a good deal on one to pass by in the near future, maybe in the classifieds. Or I can just pick up a top and make my own herb chamber to work with it as I've seen some others have done on youtube. I have become a bit obsessed with flame vapes, they are just so basic and once the technique is mastered, can give me the best vapor hits due to the higher heat index, and no need for electricity. I have rigged up a few 14/18 reducers with carefully shaved down healthstone stones inserted in them as a VaporGenie style heat diffusers, and made my own flame vape/glass set up. So that works well enough for now. Maybe I'll use one of them in my vids when I get these pieces.

 

[Deadshort480]

I just checked the tracking on my three AliEx bubblers and everything was updated to show that they are through customs and in Chicago right now. They should be here by the weekend, I'm hoping.

That is so cool man, you should ask lotus for bonuses cause I'm almost sold, I just received a twelve pack of newport for my torch and I'm out of concentrates. So I'm going to use this gas to power this herb vaporizer. Looks like it's a beast

 

[Skeena]

I purchased a 12" can with fritted disc form these guys for around 100 Canadian http://www.ioffer.com/selling/maxqualityglass They seem like a great deal. I will have pictures and maybe a video when it comes in(estimated delivery is tomorrow!)

Thanks, I thought the Ioffer was from the US too, I ended up getting a Chinese Tracking number , still
fast though ordered on Sept 2nd and received Sept 9th.

(The VB Mini Hydrator was also a recommendation I picked up from this thread when looking at the differences b/w the Pipe Daddy http://www.pipesdaddy.com/product-p/vp-0022.htm and the VB Hydrator. I ended up getting this b/c the Vaporstore guys gave us some discount code. Personal anecdote I had a podcast with Linus from VB last night and he liked my Mini Hydrator review )



Nice love to see some vids, other options that use a butane are the Vapman though I havent seen a WPA made for it specifically. Also the Vaporstar and Vaporgenie seem somewhat similar in design but the Vaporstar works as a Water Pipe Attachment.

I just checked the tracking on my three AliEx bubblers and everything was updated to show that they are through customs and in Chicago right now. They should be here by the weekend, I'm hoping.

I had mine stuck in Chicago for a few days two, I placed two orders. So happy I had an old invoice at $20 before they went up to $28+ My friend is loving his But the 2nd order took forever placed on Aug 17th received Sept 14th. Three more days and I would have been able to open a ticket.

That is so cool man, you should ask lotus for bonuses cause I'm almost sold

Max has been really helpful if you check up on the Lotus thread I kind of threw a fit about the old Water Pipe Adapter. All was well and he rectified my issue. Here is a link to the FC Lotus thread: http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/the-lotus-vaporizer.2595/page-30#post-458205

 

[xer0]

I received my alibaba shower head bubbler today. Haven't had a chance to actually use it but I am pleased. It felt heavy and solid...definitely didn't feel cheap.

The only issues I have with it is the placement of the shower head and the mouth piece. The perc sits way too high in the can and the mouth piece is not like the picture on the site. Neither are huge deals and don't really negate how happy I am with the piece.

Can't wait to go home and play with it.

I was a little bit concerned about the placement of the perc being wonky, and I also noticed the mouthpiece was different in one of the photos posted in the thread, it looked like the kind that gets fat and then tapers to a point... but def. not any kind of deal breaker IMO. How many days did you wait for yours to arrive xer0?

Yeah I saw that pic...mine is pretty much identical to that. The mouthpiece is not bad really it's just not what was originally pictured.

I ordered on 8/29, it was shipped on 9/6, and I got it today 9/18 so a total of 20 days from order to delivery. Not bad IMO.
