Cheap High Quality Bubbler

SnidelyWhiplash · Mar 17, 2014

New find.. I was trying to go to glass dharma (maker of DOPE glass drinking straws) and I accidentally typed this in: http://www.karmaglass.com/

Some nice prices there! Some expensive stuff too, but lots of new ideas. Maybe only 2 pieces that qualify for this thread though...

So do you find that a bigger piece gives you bigger hits? Sometimes I want something larger, just to make it easier to use with a plug in like the 'nano.

Bigger lungs give bigger hits,

.

I find it is easier to see the milk in a bigger piece. But I'd say hits could be smaller because the time it takes to prime a piece, you could waste half your breath.

But if you have big lungs and can easily fill a big chamber, nothing beats watching a chamber clear. Makes for great videos too, lol.

The D020 works with the NANO, SOLO, LSV & even the VAPOLUTION 2. However I have this piece kind of large that I negotiated a $100 off from the SMOKE SHOP Owner that only works well with a ash collector.
My LSV is amazing with it setup correctly. My NANO I haven't tried yet! The SOLO works best with a D020 so is been my driver lately.
The LOTUS took me a while to learn and I have a new torch lighter coming for it. However I have the LOTUS working well. I would buy more vaporizers however I barely have time to use the ones I have.
I use them all really. The glass path makes them all work amazing if paired correctly.

Today I dropped a box of glass adapters. It seem's I broke a dabbing globe I haven't used in a long time and a stem for a old bong I don't use.

"No Harm no foul"!

Should get a decent amount of reclaim from the globe. Those 9mm slides are a bitch to find these days though.

I dropped my 18mm 45° adapter from ogb last night and it bounced a couple times intact.

I make my own shatter because reclaim grossed me out!
ABV I throw away as well.
I like fresh wax and flowers well cured. It's a bummer my taste buds are so sensitive!

grokit · Mar 17, 2014

I just took a dry quart of abv, infused it into 750 ml of everclear, then reduced the resulting 8 oz all the way down to barely-pliable goo. I took half of it for dabbing, and the other half got re-hydrated with some pomegranate liquor and raw manuka honey as a tincture. It makes a fine product if you're out of flowers!
But yeah if I had your garden and dispensaries available to me I would not bother with any of that :dog:

I don't want sound like a jerk.
My wife saw the excess spending on wax and flowers.
She says to me, "you buy a plants fruit when you can just grow it?
I felt kind of stupid spending so much money for so little product.
30 grams a month was getting out of hand so i took her advice.
I Made so many mistakes Learning how to grow Indoors.

Hey guys do you have a name for this one from Kathy on dhgate?
( http://www.dhgate.com/product/black...r/183729712.html#myaccount_orderdetail-1-null)

I keep calling it the Toro imitation (not that I know what that really is).

Anyway, I ordered over the weekend and it has just been shipped. Hopefully in my hands before the weekend (I'm very close geographically to these China sellers). Has anyone paired it with a Solo yet?

Frederick McGuire · Mar 18, 2014

Tor-faux?

tepictoton · Mar 18, 2014

@grokit : ever received that 'other' toro look-a-like? Maybe I missed it...

She states it's an inline perc but in second pic you can easily see it's not an inline, just a downstem with some horizontal slits in it.. The top slit looks a little high in my opinion as well for such a short can.. Just my :2c:

As I have not ever used this piece in person

Edit: hope it pairs well for you though!

You influenced me to buy is as well!
For me it's a "TORO KNOCK OFF"!
TKO?

I don't think mine has even shipped yet?

Less than $30 including shipping so it will be fun to try without breaking the bank!

The TKO. That is awesome. Fingers crossed. It's a fun way to spend $30 :tup:

I keep breaking my $50 ash collectors.
At least this one has braces at the joints!

They both shipped so may this weekend?

American Glass Studios on iOffer has some of the small Toro style stuff for about $90.00. Its not as cheap as the Chinese stuff but you can talk to a real person about it and the quality on the pieces Ive seen have been exceptional. Here's a link to one of the Toro style pieces.

Mrs PoopMachine just bought me an Everest Glassworks recycler so Im kind of putting glass purchases on the back burner for a little while but next month Im going to buy another piece from these guys. Their stuff is fantastic.

Thats the piece I ordered from Kathy Hu where I ended up with a 18 instead of a 14. The 18 works nice.. I just dont really have anything I can use it on. I bought a 14->18 downstem but the ash catcher is just too heavy stuck way out from the tube like that.

Mister G · Mar 18, 2014

Not a WT, but I wanted to post in here my link to the cheapest Claisen Adapter I've found on Ebay - 5.99+3.00 shipping! I hope this is ok to post here. Seller was really fast shipper too.

These things are an absolute must for WTs and vapes IME, makes for an excellent carburetor if you have a plug and I've seen a lot of other crazy uses for these on FC, all you FrankenPfeiffens out there. :evil:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/141198523831?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Edit - I'm such a good saleman I just talked myself into buying another one as a spare. :evil:

I'm just afraid I'd break mine and these will be sold out.

alltoreup · Mar 18, 2014

That's the same seller I got my claisen off of. They've had that size in stock for a while but I don't blame you for getting a spare. They are definitely a must. The one I got has a little more space in between the two joints and it's now sold out. Wish I'd gotten another now. Thanks for posting the link. $8.99 is hard to beat for any kind of adapter let alone one as useful as a Claisen.

pigfoot · Mar 18, 2014

I've got a couple of questions on this adapter. What do they mean by 19/22? (I know what the 19 part is

)
Where can one get a plug? Also, if using this as a carb, and the vape stays on the gong, it's going to continue to heat it, so the vape needs to be pulled anyway, right?

The reason I bought a TORO Knock off (TKO) is because I might break it the first week. I think the design sucks. It's a accident waiting to happen. The D020 was a great purchase so I bought the "TKO" on impluse! I hope I'm wrong? However for such a cheap price I took the risk.
If I break it such is life at least I have a D020 to get by.

18mm or 14mm I don't care.
That's why I have so many adapters!

Why do I want to pay over $50 just to break it after a couple of uses?

The CHINESE glass if I break I can just laugh!

The High End Glass when I break it I cry.

I hate to cry!

Yeah, those numbers are confusing, it basically fits anything labeled 18 or 18.8mm, someone who knows the real technical answer can chime in, I'm not up on my lab glass standards.

Yes, vape stays on, you pull plug to clear the chamber multiple times as you draw, at least that's what I do and find it much more convenient than pulling the heavier vape off each time. I got my plug from my broken sub buddy reclaimer, you can probably rig something or buy an 18mm plug somewhere.

@Zangano Cruel I think infamously uses a plastic chicken wine bottle stopper :evil:

jambandphan03 · Mar 18, 2014

in the 19/22 19 is the diameter and 22 is depth (or height depending on how you look at it) of the joint which is my understanding

pigfoot said:

From Wikipedia:

"The conically tapered ground glass joints typically have a 1:10 taper and are often labeled with a symbol consisting of a capital T overlaid on a capital S, meaning "Standard Taper". This symbol is followed by a number, a slash, and another number. The first number represents the outer diameter (OD) in millimeters (mm) at the base (widest part) of the inner joint. The second number represents the ground glass length of the joint in millimeters."

As for stoppers, they are designated (if at all) only by the maximum diameter number.

You can use a glass stopper or find a wine cork. They also now offer silicone wine stoppers. I wouldn't worry about heat with the nano, it travels up and some travels by convection through the glass, but not enough to damage your material.

Meghan · Mar 18, 2014

I posted my impressions of the "Toro knockoff" a few pages back. I'm really pleased with mine. The build quality is good, and although the joint seems like it could be a bit fragile if you actually tried to pair it with a heavy vape, it works wonderfully as an oil rig. I'm using mine with a 14mm domeless titanium nail, and it's a heavy, smooth hitter.

Ataxian - That a/c is a tank you will just need a jhook! You should really get the hammer bub, my favorite part is my torch lights it up while on the table, perfect height for many torches!

Mister G - Another cool thing about those adapters if you put them on cyclers they can extend the funnel, (well slow it down and get those longer twists). I'm interested in a vacuum to create an auto bong!

Pigfoot - Have any big marbles? Page 2 of this link has more glass. http://www.mountainglass.com/Products/?search=Stopper

Heady piece stopper or just nice high end stopper at discount price really. http://boiseartglass.com/vortex-marble-wine-stoppers/

Edit-

@grokit yeah multiple orders and nary a reply...

Sick new stuff at GBD!!! http://glassblowersdirect.com/whats-new/
