Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Anonymouse

Sith I care
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'd settle for DHGate just having an option to sort the items in peoples' stores by "Date Added". For some weird reason the only two sorting options are "Price" and "Number Sold", so there's no easy way to see new stuff, or what is older than what, etc. There's a limited "New Arrivals" section on the front page of SunshineStore's store but they don't seem to update it consistently. None of the recent new D020 "variations" show up on there yet, for example, but the ancient WP010 does.

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?

Edit: Added cropped image

To me, it looks like a big, sparse circ with a blocking band in the middle. Since that band is so wide, only the top holes are gonna fire (except maybe on a really fast clear), because the lower ring of openings are just too deep under water in comparison. This thing seems to be designed to give a superficial resemblance to a "Matrix"-style cage perc with the minimum of glass and effort possible, without regard to actual function. They can't upgrade this to that more-detailed Matrix-clone fast enough, really. Only, we haven't seen one of that perc in the wild yet either, have we? It might have serious flaws of its own...

I think there are 10 slites divided into 2 sections each.

I concur. They could at least add a shitload more slits to it, since the bottom ones aren't really gonna see practical use anyway. Just a decent circ in there would still work really well, and give a bit more useful can height too.

Bracing to the bottom would be nice, too. Did any version of the image floating around add a brace? I'm a little nervous of unbraced internal bits after this incident.

Perfectly clean separation right at the weld, all the way around, under normal use, but after like a week of deliberating, they're telling me that "management" are unlikely to replace it as I didn't report the fault (that hadn't yet made itself apparent) within 24 hours of the glass arriving. The very first line of their warranty on glass is, "All glassware is warrantied against defects in manufacturing", which sure seems to cover this situation to me, as this piece can't have been annealed properly. The 24hr term later is about reporting goods damaged on arrival, not any defect at all. If I interpret it the way they're trying to, they're basically saying VaporBlunt glassware has only 24 hours of warranty rather than one year, in which case, no thanks!

Copy/Paste of TRVB Warranty Terms, as published:
"Warranty
The vaporBLUNT has a 1 Year Limited Product Warranty which covers your vaporizer against defects in manufacturing, parts and labor. If your vaporBLUNT breaks during warranty coverage, we will fix or replace it.

The Battery has a 90 Day Limited Warranty.

Receipt of purchase required.

Warranty and return policy on glassware
All glassware is warrantied against defects in manufacturing. Glassware can not be returned for any reason, only exchanged. All glass sales are final. Glassware may be exchanged if your unit comes broken or damaged. In order to qualify for a exchange your claim must be made within 24 hours of receiving your glassware. The warranty is not valid if the glassware is purchased from a 3rd party. If your glass comes damaged please e mail us at thevaporblunt@gmail.com to request service. "

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!

OK, so here's the deal. Since Mr. Gweilo gets everything so fast we order each new piece sunshinestore comes up with on the day it is released (like the D020 platform, for example) and send them to him. Then we send him a video crew to take action videos of each piece and post them here. That way we get action vids posted within a week of release and all the GAS sufferers (lovers) don't have to take "a pig in a poke" and will instead be able to make "sound" decisions.

Are we liking this idea? If Y'all wanna send me out there to set it up I haven't been on vacation in a couple years... :) :)

Almost there...
@PoopMachine The Atomic Perc has landed!!!
It is a LOT smaller than what i expected, smaller than my Chinese WP-010.

The quality is superb though!!
Nice clean welds with only a few tiny bubbles here and there.

Unfortunately i am trying to take a break for the next 3 days...
Going to be really hard not to hit it tonight...

I don't see how it could function bad, :shrug:. I'm fine with a simpler matrix. My matrix doesn't fire but from the top two rows either. Just added cost and labor. The original D020 only has 10 slits and it works wonderfully for vapor.

They could at least add a shitload more slits to it, since the bottom ones aren't really gonna see practical use anyway.

The bottom slits make for less resistance, especially when clearing. At least I hope the same is true for the simpler "matrix". Guess that is part of the fun in new glass, :brow:.

Bracing to the bottom would be nice, too.

See I had the opposite issue, my GBD bubbler broke because they braced the showerhead to the bottom of the can. It broke just sitting on the shelf. It was only a few months old.

I dont believe anyone has had any issues with fraudulent charges on their credit card going through DHgate, this problem is raised like once every page or two of this thread and I believe it to be unfounded. DHgate if anything adds an extra layer of security between you and the seller. I do believe Sunshinestore has a ioffer store which may take paypal

I had the same thing happen with my GBD bub, but some how it still functions, after a year of use. I have been very tempted by these new pieces, but since my first round have been stacking up and seeing less use, I really need to hold off a while. Wish I had more funds to toss around right now I'd at least pick up that sidecar style with the attempted matrix D020w?? forgot the name on that one...

I'm not an expert but I have a strong opinion
So looks like sunshinestore is really milking the d020 name lol.

Here's the new d020-W - a sidecar:

Long time lurker. First time poster. Thanks to everyone in this thread for giving me GAS something fierce!

I just pulled the trigger on this little guy. I have a thing for sidecars and need some water filtration for my new SSV. Hopefully it won't be too long in transit and I can report back on function soon.

Some have guessed this perc below which I think is on the 20D and 20W for the first time is a 10-slit, 2-section tire. Myself, I think the light is creating an illusion of a sectioned tire and this is really just one section similar to the original d020 (A???) with 10 vertical slits instead of angled slits. My second guess is that the perc action is very similar to the original w/slanted slits.

Of course, i could be completely wrong as well. :evil:

I have the D on the way, wanted to try that before opting for the W, plus I may change my mind during the 10-14 day shipping wait and who knows what sunshine will offer by then?

Someone else linked to a piece on Baked Bros that looks just like the D020-D (I dunno, to me the mouthpieces look a little different) and they have a different pic of the perc. I still think the horizontal "sectioning" could be an optical illusion: :shrug:

Has anyone had trouble purchasing from DHGate? My card was declined on the first try and on the second try it said something to the effect of my available funds on my card are less than the purchase price, which isn't true.

Yes happened to me. I had to call the main office of my debt card and tell them that I knew it was a Chinese site and it was me ordering it

You can try calling your credit card company - sometimes a charge from China (if you don't usually purchase from China) will trigger their fraud prevention system. If the problem isn't on DHGate's end, your credit card company can tell you why the charge was declined, as well as allow your next attempt to go through.

Hey guys!

I was cleaning my D020 with Iso and salt when I had an idea! Why not 3D print some plugs to hold both openings of it closed while I shake the sh*t out of it!

Here's a prototype of a tapered 18mm plug, and a custom mouthpiece plug for the D020.

vssEfmi.jpg


I printed them using a TPE rubber-plastic material. Most likely not food safe, but since I'm using as part of the cleaning process, it's fine.

The 18mm plug is definitely water tight. Still trying to fine-tune the design for the mouth piece (I'm making the piece not only plug, but also snap around the brim for added security), not 100% water tight yet, but getting close!

What do ya'll think?

All my spoons are dirty but I want to eat some cereal... will you print one out and ship it to me?


Just kidding. That's awesome man! So cool that you can take an idea and turn it into reality just like that. a 14mm plug I've got... but a mouth piece plug would be sweet.

Heh, sadly there isn't really any food-safe materials I can print with, yet. But I did hear about some new filament similar to PETE which might be printable with my new printer and is supposedly food safe.

But indeed, the speed at which I can go from concept to physical reality is simply amazing. When renovating my bathroom, I snapped some plastic linkage for the bathtub drain. Called the manufacturer, bitched, and they shipped me a complete linkage (not the plastic part, the whole linkage) in the mail. Within 24 hours of breaking the piece, I had already designed, printed a prototype, refined the design, printed a second model, and installed it in the tub. 8 Days later, my replacement linkage arrived in the mail. Needless to say I never used it, the plastic part I printed is still sitting in my drain, not a single problem)

Seriously count me in. How much?

Lol, cool. Don't know. The TPE rubber is 3x more expensive than the plastic filament. But it shouldn't cost that much, maybe a few bucks? I'll have a better idea once I finalize the design and figure out how much filament is used.

I'll keep you guys posted.

How does that material react with 99% Iso?

I got fiiiiiive on it!! Must be handy and time consuming as fuck to have a 3d printer. How "unsafe" is not food-safe material in this type of application? Or just to cover all bases kind thing?

Don't really know just yet - Just printed the pieces today - Unfortunately the top of the pieces which make contact with ISO aren't a 100 water tight surface yet (need to print a few more prototypes to tweak the settings) - so I haven't really seen any issues. Maybe I'll soak one of the failed pieces in 91% ISO i have around here, and see what happens to the material when fully saturated.

[Edit - 1Hr Update] - No problems - soaking in 25mL of 91% ISO - the TPE is fine, same texture/flexibility as before soaking. This is longer than I intend personally for ISO to make contact with the material, but this is still good to know.

Lol, yes, 3D printers are finicky bastards - they require a lot of monitoring. I just installed a wifi controlled power outlet on one of my 3D printers so if I see a major issue via my webcam, I can send the Power-off signal to emergency stop the machine.

I don't know how "unsafe" it is, but think of a lego piece - sure your kids play with it - but would you be ok if they eat it? Definitely not. I'm not quite sure about the thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that I'm using, but I think for this situation it's safe to use since I'm not using scalding hot temperatures around the item, and I'm flushing the area in contact with the glass prior to use.

But would I ever 3D print a makeshift fork or spoon and eat with it? Hell no

Cool stuff

One possible problem I thought of if you want to sell them is that not all pieces will have the same size mouthpiece (at least I dont think they will)

True, but I suspect the downstem shaft necessary to create a water-tight seal (for cleaning purposes) is nearly the same size for everyone (approximately 18mm Inside diameter). Plus, I am attempting to reduce the infill percentage so the object has some flex to compensate for smaller internal diameters.

However, If anything I sell isn't a perfect fit, I will adjust the fit and ship you a new one. If necessary, I can always print a 2mm "test piece" (think of a 'crop' function in photo editing) and toss it in an envelope with a postage stamp. If it fits, I hit print, and ship you a new custom fitting part.

Aint' 3D printing glorious
:science:

This is getting off topic now (I think I should note general 3D printing questions can always be asked in my official FC thread listed in my signature).
