Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[ou812?]

I have a older SOLO and love it a lot.
113 seal and a PHVES is the perfect set up.

It has to be customize to work well.
The new one would be interesting?
Either way it will take some time to dial in since you came from burning.

I use to love joints however the High sucks. With vaporizing I find the perfect temperature zone.

I wish you success in a healthier option to combustion!

Have you tried increasing water level?
I had a unit that chugged until I increased water and now it purrs!

Ataxian,Thank you!! lost a 1/3 of a lung to CA. Was professional firefighter/medic in a large metro dept and got ill. I dont like burning but sometimes I am with a gnarly bunch of hardcore heads (old 'nam vets) and we ride Harleys and Ive only been able to convert a small handful to not burn and vape instead. But some times I do partake and shouldnt!!
I love my older Solo and was mentioning that some rigs like cyclones, tornado's dont get enough velocity of air to cause the swirling action,but once you lift the gong out you get your warm and fuzzy watching it perform the action of a vortex.But Ive seen them in action when being used as a combustion piece and they rock!!

Joints,mm mmm good back in the day but you are correct, there is a difference to the highs of vaping vs combustion. I think combustion folks are also getting a buzz on from some very ugly gases affiliated with combustion.The vape buzz is 100 % cleaner and IMO nothing can beat the sweet taste of vapor........as Jackie Gleason used to say at the end of his variety show of the 60's: HOW SWEET IT IS!! Enjoy your week end

Ordered!

Thanks a lot! I should have a new piece trickling in about once a week. I really gotta start thinning the herd.

Nice. I like that one too. I've got this smaller recycler on order from Kathy, just posted as shipped, yay!

I like the hitman funnel copy, but I want to wait and see how they work when the first FCers start getting them. Relatively expensive for China glass.

Anyone got one of these? Thoughts?

Yeah I got that one. Pulls nicely but quality was absolute junk. I sold it after a few test runs. The black rim around the base and mouthpiece was so uneven it looked like a 5 year old did it with a black sharpie

I would say spend the $30 on something else. Just my

I have one of those, and it's okay. It's functional, and it's solid. It's perfect if all you're looking is an ultra-cheap oil rig and don't care about the craftmanship of the piece (I say this as it's one of the sloppier Chinese pieces I've purchased). Personally, I think there are better options for a similar price. If you can double your budget, the double barrel recycler mentioned above is a MUCH nicer rig for the price. JMO

I noticed a good review of the hitman double barrel knockoff, but I see that BTOC is not trustworthy. Is he the only one we can get those from?

I think people say that because of delays and maybe he isnt the quickest on a reply when you want info,but saying that,when this thread was in its infancy AE was the go to place and for the most part it took a month to get your rig.Well being that import being sold locally was outrageously priced, when you saw what you could pay on line from the same peeps that the LHS was gouging ,you waited and you didnt give a fug. Ataxian and myself just order and after about 3 weeks I go and take the tracking # and enter it in the USPS site and see where it is, back then as long as it said it shipped I was OK,a month later you were vaping thru it. Im an old fart so I have learned that some shit aint worth fretting over. Back then if it didnt show, I requested a refund and moved on to another.

Instant gratification is nice but it will cost you a whole lot more from the shyster who will charge you 3-4x more .If ya got, go for it, otherwise while waiting for it, I just use another rig in the collection and after a few rips............pipe I ordered a pipe?, oh yeah that one YMMV

 

[Mister G]

Does the patience needed for BToc's long shipping wait times also apply to their answering questions sent to them through the store messaging feature? The recycler I was interested in has gone up in price, so I'm no longer wanting it, but I'd still like to know the answer to what size it is.

I really dont mind the wait, just want to make sure I will get what I pay for. Im really mostly interested in if I can get a female instead of male, but only so that I know what adapter I might need. I tried messaging the seller but dhgate just shows me a loading screen everytime i hit send.

WellWhaddayaKnow - I resent them my inquiry this am and they responded finally with the size of the Funnel Recycler

Hello.the item Height:9 inches,the joint is 14.4MM.The product is available at present. Once you pay for it, I will send it out within today or tomorrow.

Tempted, but still don't want to buy it at $76, it was ~$64 when first listed and that was already breaking my price threshold. Must stay strong.....

 

[SSVUN~YAH]

If it is anything like the double barrel it will be about 8-10" but a small piece compared to that bulkier GB-189? FWIW @Meghan got it in about a week mine was slowed bc of USPS not bc of China/epacket. Imagine that, the American government workers are possibly worst than the Chinese, with a much higher cost of labor. Shocking huh, lol?!? So please quit bashing China and these wonderful sellers helping us tremendously.

Being a 70's child I had my share of joints.
My surfing pals still blaze. I can't anymore so vaporizing is so tasty anyway.

I have late on set ataxia. Being a surfer most of my life is kind of weird having a auto-amunne disease.

I did what the doctors told me and took their prescriptions at first.

The side effects were gnarly?
For 30 years I was cannabis free until I re-visited cannabis and realized no side effect and I could talk better?

Cannabis is the best medicine.
Vaporizing is the only way I can consume GOD'S creation!

But remember even though no one is going to pay for our leg work and frustration,all you do is file the complaint under not as described, they also see the messages w/ the seller (which incidentally keep that documentation) and from there they (DH & AE) can see the conversation and will refund your $$.Thats some what of a relief. I have never had a problem with any vendors,most in the past were slow to respond and I always rec'd what was shown,also a picture is taken to show proof of what you bought. if its not that pic, bam! game over REFUND in order

I think for the massive amount of biz they must do globally with their products,for them to offer single pieces amazes me.I have always known about import mkt.places and for the most part products are sold in lots,like we see a lot for some of the glass. Trade key is another,I wish i could remember the others, but very little is offered for sale in single units. I would think for these large factories, the paperwork/logistics for a single unit isnt worth it

I'm love'n the fact that they do accommodate us, enjoy it , because you dont want to pay what I see LHS selling this stuff for.The double barrel recycler in my area is going for 135 + tax, d020 was 87$$.....and to boot he runs out of stock on them for those prices

Its worse here, I mentioned a week or so ago I went to my LHS and saw the single blue honeycomb that kathy and others sell for $130. Either way though thanks for the info. I feel good about BTOC as a seller now just need to know if I can get a female 19mm made or just need an adapter, which is no big deal.

 

[photobooth]

I'm currently trying to order multiple pieces from Sunshinestore and it looks like the shipping costs per piece are combined? Is there any way to combine shipping on multiple pieces to Canada? So I'm not spending $71 on shipping a $42 order.

ITS A DOUBLE HONEYCOMB RECYCLER ASHCATCHER!

Not exactly cheap at 65.99 but its the make an offer site so maybe cheaper. but for you ashcatcher recycler fans heres the combination of the two

I saw something very similar at
http://thick-quality-glass.myshopify.com/collections/ash-catchers/products/interior-honeycomb-ashcatcher-18mm this one 58 $$


http://thick-quality-glass.myshopify.com/collections/ash-catchers/products/showerhead-ashcatcher-with-water-recycler-18mm this one is 51$$


sometimes if you load your cart and then not buy and close out,sometimes he responds with an offer of free shipping on the items in the cart.The 51 $$ is a bit cruder and with shipping in my area @ 7 and change is not to bad. Green Buddha wanted 55 for that 2 mos ago

There might be a member IIRC that might have bought one, maybe they will chine in and give us a report on it

Lol, I thought the Buddha was etched onto the glass.

Wish they would show a close-up of that HC. Looks like it is flame polished pretty good but I really can't tell.

I have this $58 one it's nice but not a recycler at all. It's cool with a jhook attached and very thick even around the joints, which is better than the Kathy ac's but for twice the price. The hc domed ac from Kathy is my most used ac by far, I just wish the 18mm female joint was thicker.

Edit- It's as close to a recycler as my seeds of life lace perc vapor bubbler...

(pic from Craigslist sale in Cali IIRC, not my actual piece)

wooo Kathy's mini-rig recycler #2 came in today, its the smaller one, with the 10mm joint. Very well made, very functional, even has a tiny vortex in the bulb I extended the mouthpiece easily with some silicone tubing and it puts the lotus at a reasonable distance at a tilt. Feels a little delicate, I would be careful not to knock this one around too much, but all the welds do look pretty clean and even, haven't found any cracks. I like the way the marble on top of the "can" magnifies the chamber and water movement. Adds to the entertainment value for sure. Over all I am very pleased with this tiny rig/recycler. Well, here are some pics and vids...

for height comparison...

mini beaker------------mini recycler---------14mm recycler---infamous pipesdaddy----D020



Modded to use with lotus

Start things off with a water test vid

Now a dabba

A little lotus action

well, after letting it sit with some water in it for a while, I found a pinhole leak where the male joint tubing is welded to the stem at the very corner, so once again I will seal it up with aquarium silicone, it's 2 for 2 on at least one leaky weld from Kathy's recyclers. Again not a deal breaker by any means, I don't worry about the tiny amount of silicone it will take to fix it, but buyer beware Otherwise, I am pleased with this one. It functions well, and is so tiny!!

I'm waiting on vids and reviews from fellow Vaporist before buying the tornado, but I think I'll pull the trigger on the 186 this weekend and I'll probably go ahead and get the Double Barrel since I already have a Pistol Gripped Pump LoL Seriously though thats one of Hitmans designs I loved but wouldnt spend for. I love this affordable quality glass it allows me to try different designs for little of nothing and not feel broken when an accident occurs. I plan to have 7 shelves on my walls full by this time next year. I laugh when I hear you guys saying you need to clear out stuff. This is my preference of art and its a little bit of who I am an expression if you will. Im going to be the Photorider of cheap Glass! I have 6 pieces of expensive glass and will never own nor purchase another. If you dont know you just dont know, But I've learned!!

I have kids and live in a non medical/recreational state. I cant exactly put this stuff out on display.

Is the double barrel Hitman knockoff 14 or 18? I may need to start looking for an adapter.

Great review as always! I like the dome on that one, wish I could buy that separately. It does vortex! Heh, that's cool. How's the hit compared to the larger, 14mm recycler?

That, and the hitman funnel clone are both 14.
