Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Quetzalcoatl

I have a kind of strange cleaning ritual with my glass. Keep in mind I have only been using glass for a short time. But I have been mostly using hotwater and dishwashing liquid. I rinse it a lot to remove everything but there is never any taste or smell left behind. But I give whatever piece I have been using at least a basic clean each day. About once a week I will do a iso+salt wash. So far all pieces are still pristine.

With my glass hookah I have discovered that using hookah beads seems to prevent the glass from getting dirty at all. So far anyway :)
I change the water every session usually, everyday for sure, ISO once a week or so as needed, PBW twice a month... so not as odd as me? :lol:

Anyone had any experience with the WP2 from Sunshine Store? I can't tell if it is 14 or 18mm. The description says 14.5 and then there is a picture saying 18. I'm wondering if inserting the downstem alters it to 14 mm. Any ideas? Here is the link;
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/wp2-two-functions-hand-blown-glass-vase-straight/169193718.html

Its really cheap and there seems to be a real shortage of cheap 14mm pieces around :(
Judging from the pictures, I'd say it's 18mm at the base, and the downstem is an 18/14. The flower bowl looks like a 14 compared to the larger (probably 18) dome. Plus the male/male adapter looks to be two different sizes.

So a 14mm e-Nano gong or a 14mm Solo gong should fit perfectly? I think ... hope ... guess :ugh:
In the downstem, yes. The more I look at it the more certain I am that it's an 18mm base and an 18/14 downstem. You can't fit one 18mm joint inside the other, it would have to be a little bulb and then the other 18mm attached to that, but you can fit a 14mm in an 18mm downstem, like in the picture.

I have always been apprehensive of the "pour back in the bottle" cleaners, it is refreshing to hear your positive experience. I have to ask though, does it get nasty keeping old dirty bong-water? How long do you keep reusing that water before needing to finally chuck it out?

I have some grunge off that I do that with,
but I always pour it back in through a coffee filter.
:science:
There's no bongwater,
it's just the grungy piece needing grunge-off.
Amazing stuff of last resort!

@ataxian I am using Orange Chronic at the moment and it works even faster than ISO for me.
Glass comes out looking like new and you pour what you used back into the bottle.
So very little is used very time.

I tried ISO, PBW but for me this is the fastest.
5 Minutes or less to sparkling, taste free glass!
The SMOKE SHOP in my town have the ORANGE CHRONIC. I was ready to throw away all my glass and just get pieces. I will try one more time.
I have stems with a CHILLUM tip are my drivers until I get my dirty glass clean!

Just placed my 2nd dhgate order,
this time with the highly-recommended sunshine store :)

18-8mm-honeycomb-smoking-water-glass-percolator.jpg

This should work great with my blaze bong (18mm)

14-5mm-14-5mm-inline-glass-percolator-ash.jpg

This will be for my lotus with the j-hook (14mm)

If you recall I never got my 1st dhgate order (different seller,
tko recycler) but dhgate took care of my refund.

How good of a chance do I have of getting my requested colors (pictured)?

Sunshine store rocks!
They sent me a tracking number an hour or so after I ordered these :rockon:

OK disagree with me, I can't force you to be right
Which goes further? You get 4x as much simple green for 3/4 the price.


I got a good deal on Grundge Off a while back and use it for the more difficult cleaning. But it is much harder to rinse out completely. It can be used over and over and I funnel it back into the original bottles through a filter.

But the Simple Green is quick and easy. I use it 1:1 and often reuse it depending on how dirty it is. I clean my glass pretty regularly and I stocked up on the Cranberry Extract deal (RezBlock sub) so I use that too. As a result I've found that I use the Grundge Off less and less.

If I were buying now I'd go with the Simple Green only.

I am not a heavy user so most of the build up i get is light.
I use hot water to rinse, then pour in a bit of OC and shake so that every surface is covered.
Pour the excess back and allow to sit for a minute.
Fill with hot water and shake and then rinse again with hot water till all the foam is gone.
Done!

PBW works pretty well at getting the glass clean but it doesnt remove odor. My other two "go tos" are LA's Totally Awesome cleaner that they sell at all the dollar stores. Its like $3.00 for a gallon. Its cleaned even my grungiest of pieces. I also have had great luck with 91% ISO and some powered dishwashing soap. That actually removes the smell too.

One other item i use occassionally to clean my glass is a powdered denture cleaner we get at work.
Hot water and some powder and it fizzes away for a while and gets it pretty clean.
Also removes any smells.

If you do use this be careful as they usually have some bleach in them and if you spill any on your clothes you are left with nice white spots!
Don't ask how i know this! LOL!

I still do the old ISO and a couple spoons of salt. Shake it around and it gets all the grit, rinse with hot water, fill, use:D

The "TKO" to the rescue!

My D020 I clean with the following:

Salt first into the water pipe
99% ISO - 1/4 - 1/2 of pipe

Wine stoppers in all the holes.

Shake 20 seconds.

Let sit for a few minutes.

Rise

One Table Spoon Baking Soda.
1/2 cup White Vinegar
Wine Stoppers
Shake for 20 seconds.
5 Minute soak
Rise warm water

Nothing special.
D020 ready Now!

Guys! Came home for lunch and found my PNWT knockoff's had arrived! Unfortunately I had to eat lunch and head back to work, but the box looks pretty smashed, but I don't *hear* any broken glass.... I'll report back with findings/pictures later. Unfortunately I still don't have my DV Ascent for a proper test, but I should have it by Saturday.

BTW that combo looks awesome!
D020, Lotus, Jyarz

I've got a D020 and the Lotus, but the lotus is a bit close to my face (Can feel the heat from the torch), I'm looking for an 15degree angled male to female adapter (rare, but they exist)

I tried the LOTUS with the D020 however the TKO is better.
They both work.
