Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Dabs are vapor too!
Did some dabs thru the D020 with the stock glass dome/nail. Pretty damn good, I like it. I want a dedicated dab rig now! Anybody got any recommendations? Small, minimal diffusion, male joint 10 or 14mm? I have been looking at the "babycake"

Oooh, okay. Yeah usually small pieces are "better" for oils because of less water needed and smaller size in general. Less water and diffusion is well-liked for oils because there isn't much to filter out from vaping oil. Too much water/diffusion can strip the taste from your oil.

The bottom one looks like the hitman double barrel but with a vortex upper chamber. If that is so, mE WaNT!!! :mmmm: The inputs and there are two of them, don't really look vortex friendly though.

The drain for the vortex chamber isn't at the bottom though, it's on the other side to the inlet and almost as high up the side of the chamber, forming a little reservoir in the base where the drain should be. Looks like it not only won't vortex, but it'll also keep some water trapped in that reservoir between pulls. :c

Um, no there is a drain at the bottom, maybe it's just hard to see in that picture, here's a different angle picture that shows the vortex chamber design better. The height the water needs to shoot is a definite concern, and it's hard to see if the inlet angles shoot the water into a swirl, but it's possible. Wish there was a video of it, does Hitman make one like this too or is this some kind of mutant?

And how tall/big do you guys think this is, can kinda estimate from the joint size, maybe 12"?

Well good; I saw the bridge supporting the stem as the lower part of the opposite inlet into the top chamber, but those are actually both the same height. Looks like it'll drain fine. Might even vortex too. If the inlets are offset to give initial momentum it'll probably do so quite readily. Can't reliably tell if they are though, like you say, but even if they aren't, if there's enough restriction in the drain line it should still whirlpool to some extent.

You just had to post that video didn't you. :rant: Oh dear lord give me the strength to resist the GAS. :evil: And I thought I was done for a bit, why can't I ignore this thread, I'm stuck in it's vortex.
Same here, very very itchy fingers...

Anyway I have sent an email requesting its height and the joint size... à suivre

Yeah, that's fine, I will buy a new nail for it anyway. You own some or most of those :lol:
Which one do you prefer for dabbing?

I love the baby cake but it is 10mm not 14mm so not sure if it will work for you.

My girlfriend saw me looking at the starbud bubbler last night and she loved it so it looks like that is my next purchase.

Shipping to the US on smoketower is about $27 so not too bad. Plus coupon code HOT10 takes $5 off so about $72 total.

Still if anyone can find it cheaper that would be greatly appreciated :)

Just found this site. $49 + $15 shipping to US so only $64 total. Getting better! :)

Also found here. No price but I will create an account later after work and try to checkout and see what happens.

I'm just looking for an awesome, inexpensive dab rig. Very little experience, just going on what I can find here. So much China glass, hard to pick one!

so far I have the recycler at the bottom, and the one that looks like a tiny beaker bong (sent for free as they charged me a higher price for the recycler) I am waiting on that funky S shaped recycler mini rig, might be about a week since I just ordered it. So far I found the beaker mini to function just fine, it's just tiny tiny... I want to get a 10mm domeless eventually... for now I'll use the provided 10mm glass nails (tiny little things) they come with. I think for dabbing the main ting is that it functions, and you have a decent nail to use.... My mini-beaker style hits really nicely and only get some tiny droplets on my lips from splashback. I thought I posted a vid of that one a few pages back, but here it is again... :p



aaaah shit, another nice mini popped up only if you scroll down, it shows the S shaped one... not sure what to think there... I've contacted Kathy about the photos not matching.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I usually watch all your vids - I missed that one, thanks! It sure is small. Saw another post, can't remember where, they loved it.
As far as a 10mm Ti nail, I'm looking at these guys, cheap, but with documented US Gr 2 Ti:
http://www.new-vape.com/products.html

There looks to be a total of 7 10mm mini rigs available currently

First batch summary:

Second batch summary:

http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/cheap-high-quality-bubbler.5255/page-248#post-594903


Feeling tempted by a couple of these, not to mention the 2 other 14mm recyclers..and now that hitman clone...sheesh!

EDIT: I also noticed the mismatching photos in that one @jambandphan03 - I like that one too...

Thanks for the summaries, they are handy, I bookmark them. So, I guess these minis are all pretty much equal? I just need to order one!

Great Find, especially since I was thinking of getting this:

http://www.dhgate.com/product/1lots...r-glass-glass/189937548.html#cart_view-3-null

It be interesting to find out if both tubes arriving into the recycling chamber are dead in the middle or both a little to the right or left to create that vortex, cause I think if both are in the middle it will create some kind of conflict, but than again it could be really interesting too....

It should kick the water out to the right in order to not interfere with the vortex due to the coriolis effect. If it were to kick the water out into the return chamber in the opposite direction it would fight the natural spin of the vortex.

If you are good with 10mm you definitely won't be disappointed with the baby cake. Especially for only $20.

The New-Vape 10mm domeless nail works awesome on it and the nail is also only like $20-$25.

I still can't believe this setup is only $45. Plus I think Kathy has the baby cake in stock cause when I ordered one the other day for a friend it shipped the next day :)

Ahhhh my GB 187 and 194 are in San Francisco. It has only been 6 days since I ordered and Monday was Memorial Day so this is incredible! Thanks Yingmin. They should be at my po box within a few days. Maybe by Saturday :D yay!!

@jambandphan03 & @ataxian - I think y'all will dig that little rig!

It *might* be a bit tight for the lotus, but for dabbing I am absolutely loving it.

CHeers!
Will it work as a SHATTER MACHINE?
The ASH CATCHER @jambandphan03 would be great for the LOTUS. If I knew I would get blue I'd order one.
Looks Like I have to just dab for now?

Coriolis effect is actually negligible at this scale, but even at full size, whirlpools don't rotate any fixed direction; their rotation is determined when they form by whatever circumstances conspire to allow them to exist, and may go either way. Coriolis does provide a bias to one direction over the other, that gets more significant the larger the body of water being drained, but to make it reliably impose its influence you basically have to start with a really huge, really circular pool of artificially still water with a perfectly-centred, perfectly-circular drain. Even at toilet-bowl scale it's influence is not noticed; our flushes spin like yours.

Even if it was a universal law, though, you might have just been looking at the Southern-Hemisphere model. :p

I'm so happy, I just figured out that my DYD nail has a tiny Ti cup on the bottom end, so I took it apart and made it fit into my 10mm mini rig :D nice!
I'm pretty impressed at how well that mini-beaker hits... it's so tiny!! The glass nail it came with did work, but the nail is so tiny and fragile, I wanted to find a more solid replacement. This will hold me until I get a domeless. It's a nice size cup, glad I decided to look in that spare parts drawer.
