Cheap High Quality Bubbler

I just got home from work to find my replacement D020-W-2 with blue base and lip had been delivered. My friend dropped and broke my original which was the "clear version" in which the percs are still blue.

I was in love with my original clear one. It had wonderful construction and zero flaws. The best China piece I have purchased this far.

This blue version I received is just not as good! The constriction seems sold but it has its flaws. First off the joint has a slight dip in the rim, like it melted or something. Also slightly higher than my other joint. Second it has 3 scratch I have found so far. On the top of the base plate, on the side of the can, and also a small one on top of the neck. There is also like a scuff on the can. Last the mouthpiece does not flair out like the clear one and not as comfortable in my opinion.

Really wish I had just stuck with the clear version

Strange, my blue base D020--2-w was delivered yesterday. The construction is perfect - welds are perfect and smooth, no visible bubbles or scratches, and my male GonG looks perfect. All in all a nice piece, though I do like my D020-W more than this one. However I will say with a female to female adapter, the Lotus fits perfectly on top with a awesome view of the hot plate.

It's been said before and I'll say it again, quality varies from piece to piece. It's a luck of the draw on the quality of the piece you receive. If you're smart and want to save on shipping cost, do like @BoogerMan and buy 2 or 3 then pick the best one from the batch.

Same goes for people who judge build quality by one picture from one vendor

The only thing that will remain relatively consistent between each piece will be the design/placement of percs, and the glass thickness. Everything else will change depending on who made your specific piece.

Someone may want to inform Mr. Yingmin that a Mobius knockoff with a Mobius label probably will not be allowed in this thread and will likely get relegated to a "counterfeits" thread instead.

:peace:
This is kinda interesting because this convo came up in this thread in early June and I don't remember seeing any mods weigh in. It just so happens that I agree with the policy (not that that matters) but I got the impression that nobody cared but a few members. Copy good, counterfeit bad and all that. Naked is the way... ;)

I think I'm going to flip a coin and give one of these two ugly bastards a home. Never liked the comment "taking one for the team" so I guess I'd rather be a test rat. Comments people please on overall opinion of these pieces and what in God's name is that written on the 2nd one? LAMO I figured I'd give the second one a shot since they can't get the percs in the 186 straight. I really want a decent 186

Please pick up the second one and make a video!!

How are you liking the yq42? I have one on order from kathy and a d020-d on the way from sunshine store.

Love it! I probably wouldnt want it as a vapor piece, but as a combustion tube it's the shit. I can rip whole bowls in a single pull easily.

The mouthpiece is a little... odd? Looks weird cosmetically but functionally I like the smaller diameter mouthpiece.

Would you guys be interested in a US made small recycler made from Schott glass for under $100?

My glass blowing friend is about to ramp things up and beings that he's not real well known by name (He used to own part of SYN), I told him Id help him out getting a grass roots thing started so he could sell word of mouth without having to try to get into shops.

He's working on a triple incycler for another member here and he's working on a recycler for me but he showed me some of the mini rigs today and they are impressive. I have a worked one he sent me home with because he wasnt happy with the base and didnt want to sell it. I also have a small worked tube he sent me home with just to post up pictures of. They will be forthcoming.

I can't speak for other moderators, but I don't usually read this thread unless there's been a report. If someone had reported the first counterfeit, then a moderator would have stepped in and cleared the air. I'm not trying to point the finger or make excuses, but we're not perfect and we can't be everywhere. Regardless of how vigilant we've been in the past—and I apologize for any lack—the intention is to confine counterfeits of any kind to our counterfeit ghetto. We ask that in the future, if anyone sees a counterfeit please report it.

I'd need water tests and dimensions before I could answer. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Understandable.. they do vortex.. and this would be a mini rig. He's also going to do something along the line of Cory's recycler around the same price.

**EDIT** Just put some water in the mini he sent me home with and tried to pull water into my mouth.. nothing.. just a sweet, sweet vortex. This guy is the real deal. If you're familiar with SYN, you know what kind of stuff this guy puts out. This one I have is worked so Im not sure I can catch the vortex on a video.. maybe Mrs. PoopMachine will help out.

Damn you, party liquor
I have an early SYN beaker from 2008-09 or so when their logo was horizontal and it's a beast. Nary a flaw in the entire thing. It's better suited for combustion but I have milked it with a solo and my cloud. I can vouch for the quality of their early pieces. I always heard it stood for Smoke Yourself Numb, so maybe you can verify that for us @PoopMachine ?

That is true.

SYN has actually been sold. The original people (Fat Mike and Trey) arent in the mix any more.

I have a piece from that era as well. Its about 8mm thick. Just a beaker with a diffused downstem. We call it Frank the Tank.

Video uploading of the mini recycler in action. Thanks, Mrs PoopMachine!

Gonna take about 45 minutes to convert. Keep in mind this is a seconds piece. He wasnt happy with the base not being as stable as he wanted it. I have a worked purple piece that is REALLY nice.. its not my thing but Im going to post pictures and it is available if anyone wants it.

And finally......

One of the best showerhead downstems I have a SYN. Its interesting because it's got a different shape than most showerheads I've seen.

You can add me to the potentially interested parties list. Are these mini recyclers already made or made to order?

Made to order... but Id be shocked if he got behind more than a day or two and thats really optimistic. He's really good at what he does.

Nice, ya I was thinking it would be more for combustion and also to show friends the amount of bang you can get for your buck with Chinese glass. Ordered the D020-D to be a vapor piece, and also to see the difference in delivery time between Kathy and Sunshinestore.
 
weenstoned,

Dabs are vapor too!
When did I link a green piece? Lol, at first I thought you were bashing yoda! Then we would have to get MTV to do a smash off with claymation, I don't remember the name of the show, to pair up Yoda vs. Bender. But that wouldn't be a fair fight, though extremely humorous, indeed!


Amen!

Celebrity Deathmatch. Yeah, I'd pay to watch Bender Vs Yoda

interesting...

This piece just popped up:
best-quality-two-function-clear-mini-bubbler.jpg

http://www.dhgate.com/product/best-quality-two-function-clear-mini-bubbler/200021275.html

The price seems right, listed as 14mm(and glass nail) but this is the same photo as Apollo/glasspipemaster...which is 10mm

The seller is new/untested/unverified etc...and the photo is a stolen/borrowed one...

*but*

I like to gamble...and the piece is only ~23 shipped...and this little additional guarantee was on the page...something I had yet to see from the other pages:
http://www.dhgate.com/html/seller-guarantee-services01.html

so I figured I'd test out this seller & piece.

If things go smooth, we might have another decent source...

If things go haywire, I can test out the seller guarantee.

The seller's name is Alina btw...which makes this song go through my melon:

so hopefully Alina 'treats me nice'

Cheers

Dammit Dangus, you keep digging up pieces I like! I sold my double barrel cuz it was kind of sloppy, but I ordered a new one, It's the nicest rig I've tried. I like the larger size too.

Damnit... so i accidentally ordered the d020 and not the d02-D. I liked the bigger chamber of the d020-d. Oh well, hopefully this all goes well.
The Do20 is definitely a solid choice. ( even if it was accidental). You will enjoy it. I have several pieces of differing sized and varying percs. I always seem to gravitate to the DO20.

You won't regret the D020 - I like to rotate it into daily use every few weeks - Get the D020-D (or my personal favorite - the D020-W) next paycheck - you don't get a break on shipping anyway, so why not have both??

How big of a difference do bubblers like the d020 make? Do they really cool and moisten the vapor THAT much? Does it really feel that much better, less harsh, and smoother?

YES! And more fun too! Try it, the average price of the bubblers found browsing this thread is low enough to try a couple different ones with no major investment.

What do you all think of Yingmin5's newest piece?

The GB-002-1


Too bad he wants $62.50 for it and it has no bent neck, :\

I'd kinda like to see a water test of that perc, but the straight neck, the price, and of course the label make it less attractive to me. Not that $63 is unreasonable for a decent piece, it is just high compared to what we see here.
