This Can't be right !
Over $ 200 for shipping to US , that's way more than the bubbler
itself . It must be a typo ??? or it doesn't belong in this thread .

Says shipping to Canada, not US.

Got my D020, Cranberry Extract and PBW this morning! Bubbler looks really nice, solid like others mentioned. I can't see any defects so far. Awesome deal, took 12 days to get here. Epacket rocks...looks
like they 'skip" customs, or are inspected first, in China? Anyway, darn quick. And, I'm all set for keeping
it clean, thanks to FC! Do you all do any kind of special "1st clean" before you use a new piece?


You reference "being all set for keeping it clean thanks to FC." I have a couple of these coming next week so would love some advice on what cleaning techniques you are referencing. I've tried scrolling through the back threads...

Anyone else seen this one?:

And this one, maybe the seller would make an exception and sell one instead of the MOQ of 10:

I like both but I would need adapters since extracts are out of the question for me.

After second glance the first one is getting pricey (for China) at $75 shipped...but may be worth it if it functions amazing..gambles gambles..


the 2nd one I asked the seller if he would break it down to singles =NOPE 10 count is the lowest he can do.The 1st rig(Toro pictured) ,I posted and said if its exactly as shown (doubt it) at 75 bucks would be a steal. The problem is as you say a GAMBLE. Communication is slim w/ some of these merchants.The translator programs they use are a bit flaky.The message gets a bit fouled up at times.You should see some of the replies I get.

Ms Wu is IMO one of the better shops and does try her best to respond accordingly. I asked the merchant selling the TORO knock off rig ,"do you have this piece exactly as shown"? NO ANSWER, crap shoot, get the dice out and start hop'n for the best!

I would order american made in an instant but shipping, customs and taxes just kill the deal. If anybody knows some cool, european glass blowers I am all ears. Roor is just overpriced and boring, sorry. Ehle is pretty much the same. They both do high quality pieces, but all I can get here are those same boring tubes and beakers. Blackleaf has some nice pieces and I plan on ordering a "Tea Time" honey comb from their "Blaze" series as soon as my paycheck comes through, but they don't do anything outlandish like a recycler. Something as tiny and still (hopefully awesome) as the Toro knock-off is pretty much non existent.


OG glass in the UK will do you custom stuff look him up he dose some very nice work

Very much appreciated, some very nice stuff indeed. Have to search for a function video but this recycler looks sweet.

Thanks boristheblade and klipsch

Yes it was custom made to my specifications by a professional glass blower.

I am going to not say who made the first two for me and give you the name of another who is making two more for me for less. I do encourage all to wait until I have received and inspected them before ordering. I have no reason to expect a problem but.. just saying. :) They should be here in a day or two.

Sam at http://glassblowersdirect.com/ offers them for 39.95 plus tax and shipping. It was 94.88 for the two.

Yeah. I was chatting with the toro seller last night a bit. He has no finished pieces, he was saying 15-20 days to start finishing them as they "just started production". I was trying to get a discount on shipping but he only budged $2 unless I bought 2. I then asked him if he had any pictures of a finished unit he could send me. He never responded. I would definitely want to see his "version" before considering on pulling the trigger!

Yea looks like this would work. The joints on the first link look to be higher quality than the ebay variation.

Like I was saying shop around. These are mainly used in labs so quality glass shouldn't be hard to find. The ebay link was simply the first google result I found.

Went ahead and ordered a D020 from Sunshinestore. Hope this one works out!! I couldn't wait till May for arrival to LHS :ko:

Question: My Solo is arriving in a couple of days and I specifically ordered the D020 to pair with it. Do I need a "GonG" to make it work?

Need? No. Would it make like a lot easier? Probably. You can fit a Solo stem in a 14mm female joint. Id pit some silicone or something over the end to get a proper seal and prevent cracks.

Damn you, party liquor
Another use for the Claisen that @Caligula referenced. I had Andy at Colie glass make this gridded upline custom to fit the cloud directly or with a Claisen. The silicone ball on top makes an easy to pull stopper and seals instantly when you start hitting it. Plus I don't have a glass female stopper...and may not get one. Hits like a champ and bubbles to the top if you want it to. Interchangeable mouthpieces was the selling point for me. I like putting a jhook on top and watching the water show.

That's the D020 male to male adapter. It's a little crooked:brow:
