Good thread, good info. Helped me out.
I settled on this.

Cheap, clean, honeycomb, oilrig. $10 shipping. Will run it to a MFLB, Iolite, and PD @least.
First time @that site. Hope they don't suck.
i would like this for a new dab only piece. my current one sucks cause the nail is higher than the mouthpiece so i have to "look up" to do dabs
...
Anyone ever have luck w.that "make offer" option? on ebay I always get denied or just pay the extra few bucks and get the order going. Of course some of my lowball offers rubbed some sellers the wrong way.
i've had luck with the make offer option on both ioffer and ebay. only saved a few bucks but better than nothing. i lowball on a lot stuff i dont really want but would buy if it was cheap enough lol, probably annoying to sellers but oh well.
Turdhole is ur username? That's funny as hell for some reason. I'm 42 going on 13.
Yeah, Oh well, that was kinda my opinion with the gruffy sellers.
I'm sure all those "few bucks" add up to a new piece/bag in the long run. Bidding on stuff you don't really want? Lol, that took me a second to see the wisdom in that.
UPDATE:My wifey just sweet talked an ebay seller way down!! WTF? Obviously I need more honey to catch those flys .
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.
I pulled the trigger on this too, just getting into glass and the price was hard to resist, cheaper than a seafood lunch for the family. Bent removable mouthpiece was a key selling point.
I went with the double Showerhead because it seemed the most sturdy. Good sized base, reinforced perc, double braced at the mouthpiece, and Keck clips to use to attach the jar and female mouthpiece. It purrs like a kitten when you hit it, even though the lower Showerhead only fires when clearing. It is an exceptional package for the paltry sum. I think you will enjoy it very much.
Damn, that was quick! That really blows.Good score on the AliEx bubblers. Bad news for me and anyone else that was waiting looks like the seller has been removed.
I noticed a bunch of the listings were gone, I hope everyone gets what they ordered, or something close to it.Good score on the AliEx bubblers. Bad news for me and anyone else that was waiting looks like the seller has been removed.
