I like the green Buddha shop.

An interesting take on the ol' double showerhead.

Guys, I'm looking for a hydratube like F-bomb or PNWT, PNWT is cheap but it's a 14.4mm connector and I'll prefer a 18.8mm and the F-Bomb is more expensive (I'm thinking that just PV carry it, isn't it) but it's a 18.8mm connector(?).
Where can I find a cheap similar glass with 18.8mm connector so i can use it with all my vapes?
Do you have any way to get a cheap f-bomb?(e-bay, discount code or fake)

Wow I'm impresed with the blue honeycomb bubbler! It's really well build and the size is exactly what I was searching. For 31$ it can't be better :clap:

Here's a pic with my VXL for size comparison:

To use it with the Cloud I'm going to need my Cloud Buddy, but that's not a problem for me :tup:

so it does not fit without an extra connector? thing is I have same piece comming with same purpose :p so I better find this extra piece before my new bubbler arrives...or not?

Sure looks sweet for that price, any more pics or vids of it in action will be appreciated:nod:

Edit: you piece shipped 11th december or 12th of november?...just trying to figure out when mine might arrive, shipped the 14th of december, tracking only shows it left office of exchange of origin...

If this is from Kathy Hu, you might want to email and make sure it actually got shipped. Ive got 4 things outstanding from Ali sellers and not one of them has shipped yet.

I already have a tracking number and it already shows its on its way, even when looking up the number on the site of the Spanish post...so I have no doubt it was shipped. And, I did not pay trough aliexpress, but with paypal, but got the tracking number trough the message center from aliexpress...

Have ordered several items in the past few months, never had one problem...but yeah, for sure, we should be careful, but I also guess we all know there might be a risk involved (especially since we are shipping GLASS halfway across the world lol). Luckily we have certain communities online where we can either tell each other about these nice finds, or warn each other when things go wrong;) but my feeling for now is that here at FC most users have had positive experiences with these shops...:2c:

Mine was shipped the 11th december and the tracking wasn't updated until the day before receiving it. So you can be sure that you will receive it, I think next week you wil have it.

About the adapter I had a Cloud Buddy clon, but you can also use a 18/18 male to female angled adapter if you want. I love the volume of this piece, I don't have big pulmonar capacity (asthma :( ) so I like small volume pieces more and this one has a lot of diffusion, perfect for me!

I will upload a video this weekend using it for sure! :rockon:

Hola, looks very nice, but its hard to judge the size, how tall is the unit and what is the width of the base? Any idea how thick the glass is? What's the drag like through the vape ...sry for all the ?????

The size of the can is 10cm height, 5cm diameter and the glass seems to be at least 4mm. The drag is the usual for a Honeycomb. It's an awesome piece for the price and I love it :haw:

Edit: Anyone knows a good place to buy a cheap adapter? I need an 18 male to 18 female one (better if angled) but can't seem to find one under 22€ with shipping :(

I've got my parcel from Kathy Hu a couple days ago, it seems to me like it's not coming from the same factory as the first one I received. The saw work stained a bit the glass this time, it's not as clean as before, and the cuts are not polished like the previous one. The tubes feels thinner so that's looking like it was made with another stock of glass, the new pieces weigh less. The mouthpiece flaren the male joint is different. So much details differ, but the three bubs I received look all the same about theses details vs the previous one. Really seems like another production of the same design, I'm pretty sure it's another factory, multiple small factories simply executing commands.

Overall it's still well build and a great value. The new style of perc fires smoother (6 slits vs 7, but they are much more deeper cut) and the cans are slightly bigger. The TI nails seems to be TI GR2, they came covered of more machine grease than the usual but after a good cleaning and hot torching they seem clean and react like my other TI stuff. I just didn't used them a lot since I felt they didn't gave me a lot of vapor compared to my OMNI.

Everything was very tightly wrapped and nothing came damaged. Just small cons : visual imperfections, not everything is perfectly aligned, a bit of bubbles and small impurities. 100% functional and I enjoy having multiple of these, like dishes ;)

Got my DHgate bub today, 13 days from order, and that includes a holiday.

I am impressed. Feels solid. For 27$ its perfect, much better value than the Infamous $40 bubbler. They even shipped me a bowl slide along with the nail and dome. I've spent $20 at my LHS for just a crappy glass bowl, :ugh:.

Next to the Mobius Clear Matrix for size comparison.

First session, I :love: this thing. Instant vapor to your mouth with very little priming.

Still waiting on my D020. It's in the states at least:tup:. Hoping it's here before football this weekend. Wanted to follow up with a pic of that Claisen adapter I picked up to pair with it and the cloud from this post: http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/cheap-high-quality-bubbler.5255/page-117#post-518150

It works perfectly. The condensation and water droplets is from where I just cleaned it and sucked some hot vapor through it:rockon: Should work perfect with the D020 because it just blew my head off using my tiny jhook ash catcher rig. And it still balanced perfectly on that tiny thing.

None of the pieces Ive ordered have shipped yet and one of the people I ordered from, despite advertising having stuff in stock, wont have the bubbler I ordered until the 14th.. I told him if its not in my hand on day 29, I will be opening a dispute with Paypal.

My first order for the DHGate bubblers went great. Every single order after that either hasnt shipped or has been lost in transit supposedly. They have to ship that stuff on AliExpress within a certain amount of days or its automatically refunded. I suspect labels are being printed and the stuff isnt being sent.

I wish I would have known this 6 months ago. Awesome find.

Are all three GG joints 18/22 mm?

For the condensation, I've found a shop vac works great. Sucks the moisture right out.
Yes, all three are 19/22 which fits all my 18mm just fine. I usually air dry my stuff but was in a hurry. New toys and all:brow: I'll try out that shop vac trick.

Is that a recycler? I can't tell how it works, lol

That's what I thought but since I've never used one or for that matter seeing one in the flesh I did not dare supposing it was, no doubt someone will tell us ...

Dunno if it would actually recycle but it's some sort of weird skinny stemless duo perc X__X
Looks really fragile. At least they didn't lie about it being an import website.

it looks like they were trying to copy a contrabasso but very poorly designed. my guess would be it will function more like a Sov pillar where the water doesn't fall back to the bottom until you stop pulling, just my guess though.
