OK disagree with me, I can't force you to be right

How long did it take you guys to get your delivery, I ordered mine last Tuesday but that tracking hasn't updated since wed

I check the DHGATE tracking until it arrives in the US, then I check it on USPS. Have you already tried both?

Ok, I've been watching for long enough, I've gotta get some more cheap china glass in my collection.

I'm def gonna get one of those sidecar matrix ones (D020-W?)
And the original D020.

The D020-D seems too similar to my ion matrix to be a worthwhile purchase (if they put the better matrix in there ill grab one straight away though :D), but if the W impresses me, I might end up grabbing a D or 2 for mates :tup:

So is sunshine store on dhgate the only place to get em?

I was also thinking of getting the fritted a/c.
I'm hoping to get all 3 for $100 or less including shipping to Australia...

Anyone got any suggestions for the best way for me to go about buying them?

Mike replied and said it would take him a while, so I don't think bugging him more would be productive. :whip: Maybe wait a month or two and recontact him to make sure it doesn't fall off his radar. I don't think it's like petitioning city hall. And you never know what might come out of the store in the meanwhile, I really like the direction it's going naturally as well. :D

Thanks Mister G for your input!!

Yes I'm on that line too about nagging too much, but one thing I have learned in the many years been in business :myday: is that you will always do more for trickier, naggier customer, it is a shame but that is how it all work, so the patient client is often placed on the bag burner as too much attention is placed on the tricky customer to get them of your back, shame but that is often how it goes...

Anyway at this stage I will give it some patient thinking...

And better put these other 12 other designs i'd prepared earlier in the draw for now...

Happy new D020's to everyone :rofl:

edit: @ Frederick McGuire any chance you could measure your Ion bottom to top of the can per chance, we still missing this info to compare to the new D020s?

I haven't placed an order yet, but Mike gave me a quote on like 5 pieces (plus a lot of little bits) that was US$74 for shipping to Australia by EMS (the DHGate cart originally quoted $220+ for the same order, but that doesn't combine shipping). Just cart everything you want, place an order, don't pay for it, and send a message to Mike asking for a Quote to ship the lot. You can probably even haggle a bit on the number he comes back with, but I haven't as yet.

He said he can only do EMS to Australia as China Air Post won't ship articles over 2kg, but then how does he use China Air Post to the US? They have different rules by destination or something?

In the Mobius thread it was established that Ions vary in height over a range of an inch or so, I think it was ~5.5" to ~6.5" can height range, IIRC. Mouthpiece heights and flare diameter also vary by a similar percentage range. I think even the base diameters vary as they're turned by hand also. The only constants are can diameter and mouthpiece tube diameter, which are fixed because those tubes are manufactured glass, not blown.

Had to chime in and say this -

This thread is going off.


...and so in the spirit of this thread I ended up picking up 3 bubblers, d020, d020d, do20w. Thanks for getting me addicted guys.
Oh man, and these are all cheap pieces!! Just wait till you see the pricetags on some beautiful collabs :o


I also had the showerhead of my beaker tube break off, just above it the ice notches are located so now I've got a busted bong that's halfway useful and I'm not trying to inhale through it because of the broken glass. :argh::argh::argh:

I needa get out of this thread quick! :uhoh:

:rofl:

So, the D020 IS a nice little bubbler. It arrived quickly (8 days) and works quite well given the small amount of water it displaces, but it is too small for my everyday use. With the size and shape of the HA, it ends up being right in my face and rests on my forehead. I can see how it would be great for a Nano or for desktop use, but I need something larger.

Well I had itchy fingers so I had to send Mike something:

Dear Mike,

I know you must be really busy and will soon be more as many happy people will be ordering more of your new D020 serie, it's a fact!

But I thought I would still send you this photo showing you more ideas for the future D020 family :)

I know you haven't yet had time to developp the last idea I send you but this way I thought you would have many ideas on your hand when and if you wish to developp it further in your own time.

PS: please tell me if you want me to STOP sending you ideas for new designs.

Best regards,

And his prompt answer was:


thank you every much for you great ideas

but the problem for me is, i need to buy the bird cage perc from my supplier, i do not make the perc myself, i buy the perc from my supplier and then make D-020 myself.

so all these ideas is based on what kind of perc my supplier currently have



Well there we have it. So it appears he makes them himself (or at least his own manufacturer does).

So what is the email of the perc supplier itself, do THEY need ideas ???? don't worry guys I'll leave it at this.

But its nice to see that he is open and happy to ideas.

Happy new D020s all the same! :tup:

Good work. You are very polite with him and have a good tone. The future is bright indeed.

As long as the low prices hold up !!! :evil::evil::evil:

You got the best information from Mike yet. We may already be putting @Mr. Gweilo 420 's store out of business and he hasn't even decided to open one yet.

Sounds a bit strange, though, because if he's making these pieces himself, then we would also assume that means he makes the YQ-42, and if so surely he already has access to the perc we asked for since he can't make the YQ-42 without it. Heck, the fact that he does assembly "himself" should make what we asked for easier, not harder. We didn't ask him to source or make some new perc, oli made a pic that clearly showed it came from one of his existing pieces, so either he didn't recognise his own stock or there's still a bit of a language barrier going on here. Maybe he's only using "down" perks for this application, already attached to a stem and dewar joint? The Faketrix looked like a pre-fab "up" type. It could be modded into a down but you'd still have to plug the bottom, cut the top, cut a stem to custom length and weld on a dewar joint, which is a lot of extra work per unit.

Oh well, see if you can get him to send you photos of the perks he can use, and we could have a poll thread on them or something and link him to the results. If there's a lot of votes for a clear winner it'll probably inpire him to get it made...

I can do that :nod:
Just keep in mind as @Anonymouse said, the ions can vary by up to an inch

Just cart everything you want, place an order, don't pay for it, and send a message to Mike asking for a Quote to ship the lot.
Sweet.
Cheers :tup:

I ordered a DO20 and 5 Ti Dabbers and they could not combine shipping charges. He said "All of my shipping charges are based on weight and cannot be combined.":shrug::hmm::disgust: Still $57 total isn't bad.

Sheesh, looks like we need a "D020 anticipation" thread. I ordered my D020-D on the 12th, my tracking has had the "origin post is preparing package" message from Hangzhou since the 17th, so I must have been on the slow boat. I'm going to bet it shows up on USPS tracking and then very soon after on my doorstep, this pattern has happened before....nothing, nothing, no update and then bam, delivered.

I sure hope so anyways.

This is what I'm afraid of. But if the build quality improves with their experience, I'd be happy to pay a bit more.

just ordered my d-020 D/ and T
and a TD-321 too :-)

Nice, the -T and the TD-321 are on my radar too. I really like the WP-010 and almost ordered the TD-321, looks much more like the Frothilator, just afraid it might be too small.
