I just heard from the guy, and the piece turned out to be 8" as opposed to the 10-12"( closer to 12"), I was looking for. He gave me the option to take this one, which he explained that it was smaller, so more dense, or make me another one with more height to it. Not sure I want it that small.

Smaller is better, in my opinion you would be much better off with the 8" over a 12" for vaping.

My use is mainly for oil.

You know, I'm think I'm going to pull the trigger on the little guy. It's pretty unique!

take the little one, you will not regret it...cause the way I personally see it, for oil and vapor smaller is better...

Looks like the piece Andy from Colie Glass asked me to post in his thread here: http://fuckcombustion.com/posts/466622/
If so you can hit him up through his storefront on Artfire here: http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/Patron166290

I really like this piece! I'm kind of a minimalist when it comes to glass. I do really enjoy heady glass as well, it's an art of its own, but clean simple glass is what I like.Here they are, thanks for the help!

It's from Colie Glass, http://www.artfire.com/browse/?term=Colie%20Glass.
It was around $180.00 with TI nail, oil dome, flower bowl, and torch head. He set me up with what I need from the get-go.

Anyone got a vid of them using the AliExpress HC bubbler? I'm debating between getting that or one of these:

My go-to Australian online store are finally getting some interesting designs in stock. Though I've never heard of the brand and can't find anything about them online (DhOp) I'm guessing they're Chinese. Not sure about the slanted design, but it's only $35 so easy to replace.

Interesting piece though I'm I'm sure I would wind up snapping the Pipe stem at some point, still that and the double disk ash catcher are very tempting.

I finally found an updated tracking on my aliexpress order, they just left the first sort on 9/29 so I might be in for a bit more waiting if they haven't even made it to us soil yet. The website shows they have 3 days left to be delivered on time... I guess I have to open some dispute or something if they are not here in time, otherwise if you don't make contact they just assume you got your order and are happy. I'm not too worried, I'm sure they'll get here eventually. This explains why the tracking wouldn't pull up any info over the past few weeks. I ordered on Sept. 5th, so it has been a little while now. My DH gate order got here fast and well packaged, but now they show that piece is out of stock...

OK, I've picked up my shipment from Max Quality Glass (http://www.ioffer.com/selling/maxqualityglass)
I got;
I've been wanting a few things in a piece recently that this tube brings to the table,
Honeycomb perc [check]
Turbine [check]
Large volume [check]
This thing is a beast, it's stupid heavy/thick (good stupid
). I've already had 2 friends say you could use the thing as a weapon 
It hits amazingly, the heft stops the feeling of the bubbles bouncing around, so the draw feels really, really smooth (so long as you avoid the natural perc effect in the stemless)
[EDIT: the draw is that smooth, I've actually half thought I forgot to put water in it while I'm hitting it, then when I clear it the turbine kicks in and I can let that thought go. I can only put that down to the thing being so solid
]
Close-ups of the tube:
I asked if it was possible to get the Double fritter with a female joint, but because I was haggling on price I made it clear that I'd rather get it DI if that would allow them to make it cheaper for me.
They didn't mention it in the rest of our dealings, so I figured I'd just let it be a surprise.
Then I open the package and they included a female to female adapter
, which I found to be a very nice touch. It also came with a glass nail and dome.
I was a bit worried that the frit would be too fine and add lots of drag, especially with 2 of them, but from some water tests and 1 run with my Solo it performs great
God I love fritters
I have a buddy who's thinking about nabbing a bub soon, so I grabbed this one so he can choose between this or the double fritter if he wants to skip the hassle of importing, essentially the exact same form factor as the double fritter, but with a honeycomb for the bottom disc, and female inlet instead of DI.
The water test felt very similar to the double fritter, with the honeycomb adding a bit more violence to the diffusion compared to the frit (while the frit diffuses more, its a smoother formation of bubbles)
The build quality on them is nice.
A few minor bits here and there, but for the price I paid, I'm an extremely happy camper.
Everything feels super thick and solid, the heft behind them is impressive.
There are a few minor bubbles in some of the joins, but given these were all in the $100 price range, it's totally acceptable IMO.
If they were proper high quality $300 pieces I'd be a bit unhappy [EDIT: not even unhappy really, just slightly less satisfied] (purely with minor things, Functionally they are 100% Great)
The stem on the DI bub leans a bit toward the can, but doesn't seem to stop it from being able to mate with any vapes, and didn't stick the solo in my face, so it's all good.
This is pretty much how I feel:

Thanks for the heads up on these bubblers- I have been looking for a fritted disk and I can't afford the submicro goldstein I want- Might just have to scoop up one of those double fritters.

honestly, that's probably a good thing. i wish my DGs had been coarser and if there is two, even more reason

Yeah, I wouldn't want the frits to be any finer, would definitely add too much drag.
As it stands now, this bub has a lil more drag than my DGs, I think the frit is a pretty similar size, I'll have to get them all next to each other and compare them.
I've also got a GBD fritter hydratube on the way, so I'll have 5 fritter pieces once I receive it

It's a shame most of those bubblers on aliexpress besides the hc one are no longer available. I should have ordered 2 of each design, lol.

I can see clearly now the smoke is gone...
They will probably be back. they have disappeared a couple times only to reappear.
