Cheap High Quality Bubbler

I have not bought anything though ioffer, just DHgate and aliexpress, and so far the first DHgate piece was pretty nice and delivered within 2 weeks. I am waiting on that reti knock off (same as the $29 on ioffer) from DHgate, shipped out on the 22, so it should be here some time in the near future. I have to add, though we may be supporting another country and all the other stuff that goes along with buying china glass, I have been more than happy with all my pieces so far, and with no drama included with the purchase, makes it so much sweeter.

Hard to believe this for $29, including shipping. Has anyone bought from this seller?

They are both coming from the same company I think sunshineglassart from Ioffer and sunshinestore from DHgate appear to be from the same person, a guy called Mike Lee.

I have goodies coming from his store next week, can't wait....

FEDEX called me today regarding customs taxes, that I can wait for!

^Well then moving on.......

Anyone have suggestions for cheap glass to pair with a cloud+? I already have a PNWT for pairing with my solo. Thinking I could use something larger with more diffusion.

^This looks interesting but not sure if it will diffuse enough for the cloud (dont really know what to expect with that vap). Cloud hasent shipped yet and would be my second vap so not too experienced on matching with pieces that would complement a different vap than the solo.
Plenty of Cloud owners are happy with the size. Not saying it's the best fit for everyone of course, but I, for one, don't need or want anything larger.

The $26 dhgate piece you linked is pretty much a copy of the Mobius Ion, as far as form and size.

From the pic it only seems to look like a reti. The outer canted slits are present but the inner set canted with 90 degree offset don't appear to be. If they're not, it's just an odd-looking circ design, essentially.

Until someone's actually arrives and we get better pics, it's hard to say for certain, though.

Vapor Blunt is having a sale on their 18mm tubes right now ... all tubes $70 with code VBWTBF. Just picked up a chandelier which is normally $230!

Wow I will be grabbing one. Any idea how long the deal is good for? And its hard to pick between the double showerhead, star, and chandelier......Leaning towards the chandelier as well but IDK glass that well TBH.

I don't expect something at this price point to have a fancy perc, nor should anyone IMO. My point was that the overall design and size is very close to the Ion, and at about 10% of the price. If the quality is decent, it appears to be a real bargain.

We'll find out soon what the quality on that imitation "reti" is, my package has made it to US on the 27th, and isn't that far away now, maybe I'll have it this weekend or monday... I used to have a mobius matrix ion, but have not tried using a mobius reti yet. I do have an idea of how smooth it would hit. I don't expect anything in this price range to compare to a mobius, but if it works well enough I will be happy. The "infamous $40 pipesdaddy" bub has sort of a reti style perc too, and it offers a nice even diffusion.

Til Sunday at midnight. I went with the chandelier cause if looks to me like it will be high diffusion with fairly low drag. I think either the double shower head or chandelier would be great choices.

Are all f the VB tubes 18mm? Seems like a great deal!

Yeah all of the tubes other than the PNWT are 18mm.

I am in the same boat, trying to decide between the chandelier and double shower head. I think the double shower head might have less diffusion/more flavor, so I am leaning that way, but the chandelier looks really nice as well. Trying to resist getting both at such a great price.

We're here to fuck shit up.
In all honesty, I've seen video of the double Showerhead in action and only the top Showerhead fires unless you are pulling super hard. I think you will notice very little, if any, difference between the single and double Showerhead.

Good to know. Concerning flavor retention, do you think the chandelier or double shower head would be best?

Thanks

I don't know enough about the Chandelier yet. It appears to use many holes for diffusion, so I'm assuming that the Chandelier is going to smooth out the hit more than retain the flavor. I think the double Showerhead and the single are pretty much the same unless you're going to be pulling with gorilla lungs the whole time. It appears that these showerheads contain a lot of slits. I try to count, but lose track. I think that with this particular Showerhead you will be getting a middle of the road piece that will smooth a hit well, but will retain very good flavor.

I think that the Star Perc will offer the least amount of diffusion while retaining the most amount of flavor.

Again, this is all just speculation as I have never used any of these. I ordered the Chandelier and Star Dome because I wanted to try the two ends of what I think the spectrum is for these water tools.

I'm really excited to try these out with the EVO.

Thanks. Now I am thinking of getting the Star perc. Should just grab two as well.

I figured, when am I going to be able to expand my water tool / hydratube collection for such an insanely low price again? I have been using my EVO non stop and the variety would be so welcome. Had to go for those two.
that's how I felt about these $20-$30 pieces... what a deal if they are not complete shit, which luckily so far all have shown up in acceptable condition. Much less stress involved using a low cost piece, knowing it won't kill you if something happens to it and it breaks. I find that alone carries so much more value to me than trying to have a showy collection. I have to admit, these pieces look pretty darn nice too. Didn't see the DHgate bub in today's mail, so hoping maybe monday.

I look forward to hearing about the bub or even better one of your great videos. I was going to buy one but $70 water tube was just too hard to pass up.

I got the $25 DHgate bub today, it's pretty nice, has a good weight to it, wide base, nice welds and gives a decent perc. Here's some pics
