Cheap High Quality Bubbler

It shipped out a couple hours after the order. Does tracking work while its in China? Hoping the timing works out for me
Try your tracking number on usps' website. Worked for me.

Ugh, quit tempting me. D020-D on the way, now this.

Link to the D020-W for people on mobile, dhgate's site sucks on mobile.
I downloaded the Dhgate app on my iphone, works REALLY well for browsing and buying.

Damn you all! :lol: this thread is full of too much cheap quality glass! I am holding out for the matrix ion hopefully (fingers crossed). However I might have to pick up one of those sidecar ones for my girlfriend or something...
Currently 2 weeks (minus 3 sessions over the weekend (im weak):shrug:) into a month long t-break. Hoping to get a e-nano when my tax return comes in hopefully.

Better hurry. Price seems to be going up as we speak. A couple of hours ago it was over $1 cheaper than it is now. I had it in my basket at the lower price, but when I went to check out the total was different. I went back and checked the item page and sure enough the price was higher in that short a time.

I know that's not much of a change, but it kind of irked me so I didn't go through with it. Maybe tomorrow, but the price might be $50 by then.

Guess they are monitoring this thread.

My opinion is that Sunshine Store have almost zero ability to communicate in English. I don't think they understand what we are into. I may send them an email in Chinese and see how they respond. (I will need a translator which I have)

Yes excellent, excellent

Whatever it takes we need a d020-M (matrix edition)!
 
Sorry that last post was from my phone. It doesn't read too well. When I say I have a translator I don't mean that I employ one or anything. Just that I have a number of Chinese friends who could help out.

I have been into China many, many times. I can speak a little Cantonese and a little Mandarin. Not enough to have conversations but a few phrases/words for everyday life and getting by. But to be honest I refuse to ever speak a word of either language when dealing with Chinese. The language thing freaks them out. Many of the merchants that we deal with use translation software to deal with English language customers. Often the software works very poorly. For example, if you type a few words into Google Translate it will probably offer you a fair translation. Try typing a paragraph and it will deteriorate rapidly.

I'm pretty certain that the reluctance of Sunshine Store to communicate with us has to do with a few things. The language barrier. Also, I don't think they understand what vaping is all about. I'm not really sure if they even understand that we talk about them on this website. They may not be able to access this site due to the name (just a guess). Internet censorship in China is greatly exaggerated in the West in my opinion. Nonetheless, it does exist and it can often be pretty random.

Also, we don't know where they get their stock. Do they deal with a manufacturer or are they just another re-seller of sorts? If we can make a proper connection it could be very lucrative for them.
 
@MySega I think it is pretty nice :) I've been pairing it up with my E-Nano and the flavor is great. I've only been into glass for a couple of months though so I am far from an expert. Personally, I am very satisfied. Sunshine Store's prices are so cheap it makes it an easy decision in my opinion :rockon::tup:

Hey guys, been a few days since I checked in. I just wanted to give a quick report on the TDS-209.
http://www.dhgate.com/product/tds-2...g/186595547.html#myaccount_orderdetail-1-null

This is small bubbler but I like it a lot. It is only 20cm tall and has a 14mm joint. It hits really nice and paired up beautifully with my e-Nano. I'm no expert but it definitely seems to produce a whirlpool/vortex effect (Don't hold me to that - I'm not sure what really qualifies as fulfilling this aspect). Anyway, there is the honeycomb disc at the bottom and there is a second disc above it. It is flat with a a few holes at the sides.

Oh hell yes, photos, please? (Bonus points for perc action vids)

I didn't buy this piece because while the disc you describe is present in the photo, there's also a note pointing to it saying "No disk here", so I thought this thing was just a mini honeycomb tube. Sounds like the turbine splashguard is present after all, in which case I may have to get one. That's a lot of performance in a very small, very cheap unit.

Maybe they meant its not another honeycomb disc?

Possibly, with the language barrier, but "No disk here" is pretty unequivocal:

Gotta wonder what led them to feel the need to add that comment since it appears that the disk is, in fact, present, on both the shipping units and the demo one they photographed before adding that comment. Breakdown in communications somewhere?
 
@Anonymous mate to be honest I did read it as no honeycomb disc originally but I was not certain. Standby for some pics but sorry can't do vids atm.

The second disc is the one that seems to be creating the whirlpool effect from what I can tell :hmm:

Ha ha I fucking love the Sunshine store. I ordered this morning at about 10am and I just got shipping notice. I expect to have the Do20 in my hands by Thursday. Honestly, as far as shipping goes these guys are simply amazing. This is my third order with them and every order has been exceptionally fast. Add to that the quality and cheap prices to start and all I can say is wow!
I think Sunshine Store deserves a dedicated thread. :rockon::tup::leaf:

Okay and here are a couple of pics of the TDS-209. Sorry but they don't show much :(

Lack of equipment? Your mobile phone can probably take vids just fine, assuming you have an even vaguely modern one.

The second disc is the one that seems to be creating the whirlpool effect from what I can tell :hmm:

Yeah, the second disc is a "turbine", a type of splashguard that creates cyclonic flow (and thus throws water in a circle around the tube instead of up towards the mouthpiece, limiting splashback). Could also be considered a "perc", arguably, since it also creates diffusion and moisture conditioning, the two main things percs do, but a turbine is generally used with a "true" perc underneath as they work better when fed a well-aerated mix of gas and water; the same volume of air mixed in works better as lots of little bubbles than as a few larger ones. The lighter and foamier the mix going through them, the faster the spin velocity you can achieve.

Without that turbine that stubby pipe would spray water into your mouth on the clear almsot every time, I bet, especially with that super low volume. Honeycombs get a good, almost effervescent, foam going at higher draw speeds.

@Anonymouse
On the up side, maybe that "breakdown in communications" also resulted in a lower than intended price?

The price makes sense compared to their other models as it's only a 30mm tube, not much more than an inch in diameter for the metrically-challenged. It's just made from cheaper pieces of glass (as well as being pretty damn small). Still for US$16 in lots of one it's a steal.

@Anonymous thanks for schooling me man :D I appreciate it. Its hard work learning about all of this stuff sometimes :hmm:The turbine definitely acts as you have described. The honeycomb froths/airates the water and then the turbine gets it spinning.
I don't have anything to compare it to but I'm enjoying it:lol:
About the vids. I'm just paranoid. I can't rationalize filming myself committing a crime and uploading it on the Internet. I would be looking at jail time, deportation and end of career if I ever get busted:(

Defninitely DON'T commit a crime. Just put water in it and film it being inhaled through. Nothing plugged into the joint, and ideally, you don't even appear in the shot. It's how most people make demo vids, as vapour would obscure the water action we're trying to see anyway. Plus, y'know, it's perfectly legal.

When that happens (minimal increases or decreases fluctuations in price) it is due to the RMB-USD exchange rate that changes so rapidly/often. When I get quotes from a supplier in China and it is only valid for a week to 10 days max because of this. I would bet that is the reason anyways!

The price of the 20-D is still $31.97 . I'm tempted to get the W too and own a triumvirate of the DO2O platform, but what the fuck am I gonna do with all those glass domes, nails and combustion bowls? :evil: At least the adapter may come in handy. I'm going to wait until after I get the D to decide, by then the DO20-X turbine incycler will be here :razz:

@Mr. Gweilo 420 if the activity here doesn't convince you to open up that glass store, than nothing will. You're the closest of anyone here geographically and I bet you'd get some US help from the pool here. Hey, I'm just poking the bear... :evil:

That is brilliant, with a collection of photos and videos of all the pieces. Too bad it would have to compete with this awesome thread.

I would love if Sunshinestore had some form of notification service that let you know of new pieces. Or even better, a "prototype" section where you can vote on the next piece they make.

I can't stop staring at the D020-W. I would go ahead and order if I knew how the D020-D performed. Can anybody tell from the photo how the actual perc is made? Is it just 10 vertical slits or are they 10 slits divided into 2 or 3 sections each?

Just think I found a local reseller of dhgate through CL... waiting to see what exactly he has.

From his pricing, it appears there is a ton of $$ to be made in reselling these pieces. :\

have to pass on my order from DHGate...so here is my very specific situation...
I currently live in Spain, but have been living and working in the Netherlands before. Because of that I still have a Dutch banc account that supports Ideal for payments, and so does DHGate (as can be seen on the bottom of the page) so i taught I can finally order from them without a CC...

But off course, the system does not compute LOL...it does not give me the option to pay with Ideal and customer service was not really helpful either. Not saying I would not order from them or anything, just to make that clear...am just a bit annoyed because it took me several hours with customer chat and so on only to find out it will not work...

those new pieces sure look sweet...
