Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Indeed..........the last fifty is on buffalo back.
Buffalo or bison? I hear there is a difference, but when people tell me, I ignore them so I Still don't know. It's so frustrating.
Still, you get your "cheap, high-quality bubbler" untrampled, and in a timely manner, considering all of the beasts of burden employed in the delivery. That is all that matters.

During an IG stream yesterday, Randy from puffitup said that with the change in tariffs there's not gonna be anymore China free packet delivery so he said if you want any China glass get it now before prices increase.
Damnit. That really sucks. Shipping would be probably 5x the cost of anything I ever order on there

EDIT: anyone know how soon this will take effect? There’s a few things I really wanna snag before it does

Buffalo Back almost sounds like a nickname

"Hey did Ol' Buffalo Back bring in today's batch?"

I'm on weird antibiotics and a sleep schedule dictated by an illness so if this sounds crazy...I don't ALWAYS sound Crazy, but when I do, I drink Dos Equis. Just kidding I don't actually drink lol.

In my experience, from DHGate, always expect 3-5 weeks.

Awesome. It gives me some time to go out and get a good 18-14 reducer for the Rattle Can.

This will be the first actual piece of glass with a unique diffuser that I haven't spend a ton of cash on.

The last thing I bought was a HiSi Triple U Perc V1 when the first (or last, depending on which way you count them) U Perc protrudes into it's main chamber instead of all 3 in the tube.

Traded that for the Phire Matrix (mentioned later) because the draw restriction and the fact that after the 2nd Perc got dirty there was no way to fully clean it or even keep it filled above a certain point because the entrance holes were on the back of mine instead of the front so I had to almost tilt it forward for the full effect, which brings me to it's worst downfall. Even when dry and no downstem you couldn't breathe through it without eventually passing out the restriction was so strong. Add their unique (at the time circa 2011) downstem & honeycomb bowl and it was a nightmare.

Before that it was a authentic Sheldon Black built-in 6 Shooter with the huge "6 Shooter" Ash Chatcher with a huge diameter doenstem that some pieces use as interchangeable downstems/percs these days. $599

Got stride kicked into the rail on a bed frame and blasted to smithereens.

A Phire OG Matrix Perc. I don't know if it had a common name in 2011 so we called it a "Tire Perc." Was built like the D020 except with a Matrix Perc the actual size of one on a downstem about as wide as something you'd stick in your bong. Woke up one morning after a party and it was broken at the top and the Perc was fine but it was just a tube inside a large bubbler then. To this day "the stress cracks broke it"...someone used that shit lol.

Then a I wanna say another Phire Halo Perc, simple Beaker base with a downstem circling the beaker with slits all throughout it. Cool idea, bad concept for a 3' bong. Cant remember what I spent. Lent it to someone who was clutch surfing and my frie d never told me when the guy asked =/.

Then the first serious piece I bought was a Shorty ZOB with a build in downstem that had like a *Mushroom* Perc or something weird that had to be used at the perfect angle or it bubbled to high or didnt make full use of the downstems Perc. $400 and that thing is still at an Ex's house I believe. I remember being fixated on it thinking it was in storage lol.

A trip down memory lane...and a painful one at that, how much money have you guys spent on glass that's now in some landfill or the bottom on an ocean?

So SteveLMZ on Popularglass is absolute crap...as much as I like supporting sellers while saving a buck or two but Unfortunately this is a business that not only needs protection from Broken/Faulty/Missing/Ect. Via PayPal. But also a website like DHGate. Like @LesPlenty stated "Stick with DHGate..." That's the TL;DR for anyone joining this Thread late who gets in contact with the seller and they ask you to "Go through their website for a discount."

I placed the order on the 16th of Feb. AFTER talking with a rep from Popularglass confirming that this was the original source for the "SAML Rattle Can" and that I just wanted to be sure that the Glass I recieved would be a model with as little chance of defect. I recieved an Email saying they recieved my payment funds, gave me an Order #, and didn't ship the order. Seems simple enough lol.

I'm guessing my money would've been in limbo if I hadn't been told that I should have recieved a tracking #.

Bad points on Popularglass direct order.

Hey does anyone know if Customs takes a shorter time with glass/see thru objects than other things?

My Rattle Can finally made it to US soil and was "Processed through ISC" which from what I understands means very little than just a fancy term for checking that the item made it across to the country it's being delivered to.

I guess I'm wondering how long until I should receive the bubbler or at least an "Expected Delivery Date & Time"

Thanks guys.

Also I wanted some advice.

Should I go with the Leisure Swiss 6-Arm, A Traditional Honeycomb Fab Egg with Matrix or Seed of Life Perc, or the 8-Arm Peyote Pillar with a Matrix perc. Looking for something that is a bit more versatile in the way it has to be held for it to function properly like if I wanted to tilt it slightly to lean back on a couch. I was thinking a Fab Egg would be good for this but I read an article saying that very few Mimicked Fab Egg makers make it with well enough precision for the function to fully work but this was off of a "Real Glass or Die" type article person it seemed like.

I'm also open to other suggestions but am really not interested in the very well known Matrix pieces, not cause of design but because I have a D020-9 with almost if not the same Perc =)

Yo
anyone remember what the fab egg from CCG used to cost like 1 year ago?
i see it at 65 right now, but i remember paying around 50 for mine,

are they slowly driving these prices up as the hype increases?

im pretty sure some people would still pay 80-100 for a good fab egg replica,
, bumping the price up slowly, lol :D

I have a mimicked fab egg, and it's wonderful. I don't know if it's best for you of the three you mentioned , but you can get a beautiful replica for much less than the "Real Glass or Die" people would have you spend.

These last few days have been a haze man. This rattle can is a mythical creature in itself. With a log it just knocks me out.

Worst part is it turns the MUSA into an Apollo so everything's like a 1-2 hitter and I just can't stop reloading it cause it's like one smooth motion.

The ENano at least I'm consciously aware that I'm totally wasted and still Vaping more for the flavor. I picked up some weird stuff that was pre sifted and tastes like...metamucil almost but claim it's "Piney" =/ but gets you oddly high

I know we can't talk about where we go "Shopping" on here but damn I wish I knew the spots to grab stuff from. Still bring locked down but not on a full Quarantine I can go meet a delivery person but Rarely does the item look (or even TASTE in one call-in) as it does on WeedMaps.

Anyway working my way through a bunch or weird strains that I wasted cash on =/. One delivery service came through but was like old school LA street corner prices. 2 for $30's of Top $20 for 1g of Above Top (250 was the minimum Of of like untrimmed trash...it was ridiculous.

But ya I'm just gonna order a few more of these rattle cans lol.

I think of my Fab Egg as a table top piece. Good call on ordering the rattle cans. Take heart, the quarantine won't last forever.

Found this dude on IG the other day who makes super nice bubblers/recyclers for extremely fair prices. Ordered this one earlier today: https://www.instagram.com/p/BvK5cIVnsfu/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1axqs2bib74nf

Seems like most of his stuff is around $65-$140. Also he had it boxed up and a label printed within like 10 minutes of me paying :brow:.

They definitely are bumping up prices slowly. I hadn't been on DHgate in years but went to check out CCG for one of my buddies the other day and just about everything seemed a little pricier than last time I looked. Same piece I ordered in 2015 for $58 is now $68.

Get your heads out of your rattlecans people, they are removing the free shipping and bumping the price up soon :lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

I'm too "civilized" as @ataxian would put it to know if this is just a joke or if there really is a change coming.
I'm guessing its a joke lol

EDIT: lol I get it now its a poke at CCG. I really hope stevenlmz keeps his prices reasonable.

Well, if it's a joke, it might not be for long. Since the tariff prices have gone up & no more special usps China mail rates (so essentially no more free shipping - it's built into the upped pricing), both have upped the cost. & even if the tariffs come down, the Chinese glass mrfs. are surely realizing that we are willing to pay the increase. :ugh:

Bought a rig (my fav) a while ago for $48 & right before the tariffs hit it was on sale for $39. I should have grabbed a backup, but stupidly didn't. :doh:

Hey it's been a while since i've been on here and I haven't been following this thread as much as I did before it reached 500 posts.

I just wanted to say Stevenmlz has improved so much in quality.
I bought a piece off him probably over 2 years ago and eventually ended up breaking it recently.
Got it replaced along with one of his hydratubes and honestly was just hoping for it to be decent but I'm blown away by the quality of the welds and the thickness of the base.
It's over double the thickness of the original base I had from him.
It's slightly less wide than my original base but this thing is stable, it won't tip over easily and i definitely prefer the thicker base. The function on both are perfect and don't see any air bubbles in the glass.
Their may be some slight imperfections on the perc but i don't really see them and they don't seem to effect function at all. In short, definitely recommend.
