Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Hey Ataxian!

I have the same one @PoopMachine recommended!
A bit more expensive than the cheaper Chinese ones but this has become my favourite piece overnight!!

Very little drag and diffusion!
Hits like a freight train!

I was thinking of getting some more glass but this has cured me!
I do have a D-020 on the way so it will be interesting to compare all of them!
You always have the creature comforts of life!

I just had a bowl of YODA (100% INDICA) in a LSV using a D022 with a CAISEN, ASH COLLECTOR. Just the D022 by it's self was best!

Sorry for no photo's!
But jah!
I can't feel a thing?
I never used a true PNWT to compare.
I had a PNWT and I sold it right away.
I never sell my stuff usally. I think the cheap glass is the best way to learn and see what you like first.

The PNWT style is a waste of money regardless of who makes it!
The design is flawed!

Some might like it and I should of kept my mouth shut!

SORRY!

what?! i think these hydro tubes are the best thing, that have happened to portable vaporizers in ages!
i even prefer them over a bong (and even my bong-smoker buddy does :D )
BONG' s to me are gross!
Water pipes and bubblers with smaller mouth pieces are my preference.
I would never feel comfortable using CANNABIS in public.
For some people they may find the PNWT or a small portable hydro tubes to fit there life style. I am sorry to voice my assessment which is more of a personal opinion.

I never found an appeal to the Hydro Tubes. They look real nice but I feel they are somewhat more limited in use vs a bubbler.

Just curious, why is it you prefer a hydro tube? I've never had the pleasure of trying one.

So my D020-D has arrived in the states, should be here early next week. Would be great if it made it tomorrow, 1 day early for Easter 4/20, :brow:

first of all the airflow is much better, especially with the solo! probably because of the little amount of water and the little volume?! that is the main reason, i guess.
i have to pull really hard on my bong and so my lung volume is spent much quicker, therefore i can pull bigger clouds with the tube!

and i never take my water pipe anywhere, but i can simply put a hydro tube in my bag and share it with friends.

generally, i prefer vaping with water cooling, since i actually have to cough a lot without

I like the PNWT for it's small form factor and surprisingly effective moisture cooling with very little water. I find it hard to see it fill up with vapor while I am using it, so the big clouds coming out of my mouth can sometimes be surprising. The one thing I really don't like about all hydrotubes though is the risk of water spilling out the bottom from sudden coughing or exhaling into it.

That said, I fully understand where @ataxian is coming from now that I've thought about it more. While I don't find bong style pipes gross, I do prefer a nice small piece with an ergonomic bent neck mouthpiece for vaping. I am obsessed with my D020 and can't wait for the "D" version to arrive. I don't see any straight neck glass in my future unless they are really special for some reason.

Ok, I'll play this game.

Why spend $60 plus shipping for a hammer bubbler pipe.

When you can get a "Crystal Glass Sexy Toy" for $17.28 shipped?

That was fun! :evil:

I agree about the "straight neck" bong style - to me they are so yesterday. They require you to stand or hold to get over the mouthpiece, and force-crane your neck. A bent neck at the right height allows you to sit comfortably at a desk or table, and even pass around. Don't care for large mouth openings either, particularly as I have big hair on upper lip & chin, so a seal means I have to press hard and evenly. Small mouth openings allow for well-regulated pulls and sips effortlessly. Like @ataxian so often and wisely reminds us, small style mouthpieces are "medical" and just plain old make good ergonomic form-fitting sense.:2c::peace::)

I'm kicking around the idea of buying one of the two following pieces:

I've been kinda-sorta wanting a nano rig for a little while now, and I love the function of a turbine perc. As a general rule, I like smaller pieces because I have to be discreet and hide my glass on the regular, but at the same time, I prefer my face to be a comfortable distance from my nail. I'm really torn between these two pieces, which both fall within my acceptable size range. I love the idea of the tiny nano bubbler, but am worried I might find it too small.

Thoughts? Opinions? I know at least one person here has ordered the Bake Bros. piece...I don't suppose anyone received it yet and can offer a review?

I may not end up getting anything at all right now...might decide to save up for something else down the line...but the G.A.S. is strong in me at the moment. lol

I like your style! I say wait, neither of those sellers are offering 4/20 discounts. I say wait, out for all the 4/20 deals. Also, @GSH will be reviewing that BakeBros turbine before too long. :popcorn::popcorn:

I have become very intrigued with Turbines since someone first posted the "cup" design you reposted. I agree to wait for a sale if you have the patience, but one thing that makes me lean toward the "cup" over the sidecar is the shape of the can may make a better vortex from the turbine if that's a feature you like. Of course, just guessing, hopefully someone who gets this can make a video.

Right! I also think the bent neck would be more comfortable to use, and the distance from the bowl/nail/or vape is better.:2c::peace::)

Lol, I posted that in the any serious beer drinkers thread and only t-dub liked it. Truly puzzled me after it took such a liking on this thread. Maybe they drink out of Stein's or Mason jars ;) I can't wait to see it in action cc on standby...

Call me crazy, but I don't drink beer, never liked it, alcohol has never done it for me (big surprise in this forum, eh). Maybe that's why I like that piece. I don't consume much alcohol at all, but I do like hard ciders or a nice red wine.

I really wish alcohol and cannabis would switch places on the social acceptance scale. I predict it will someday, just not soon enough for me...When my buddies want to go bar hop, I always think about how much better I'd enjoy it if they served the herb. Booze almost always makes me feel kinda sick, the herb is the opposite.

Amen brother, Amen!!! Why not have the choice? One that could kill or the safer more distinguished choice, you decide. My alcohol consumption has definetly decreased since College! I love the Angry Orchard Hard Cidars!

I have found I prefer the bent neck over the straight, unless I am standing up and want to lean down, then the straight tube seems better. I'm looking foward to seeing how that Faketrix perc (D020w) turns out... All this beer talk got this song stuck in my head :p love those purple guitars!!:luv:

I used to have a piece with a natural perc that I always used dry, the shape made the vapor vortex up into the mouthpiece. It was by far the smoothest hitting dry piece I've ever used. I would kill bowls in one or two hits and it was more flavorful than using my diffused glass.

To all those looking at the helix chambers Grav Labs makes a "premix" chamber in small and large sizes, 14mm and 18mm respectively. I assume premix chambers would have a similar effect; the large is pretty big, a local shop used to carry them.
