Is the only difference between a D-020 and a D-020-D the angle of the perc slits?

No, they are two different percs

Looks like SunshineStore just added a new AC:

Showerhead Perc Double Chamber Precooler with 7 arm trees

Looks decent, might buy at some point.

If only these guys would learn to fire-polish the percs!

I think the D021's perc isn't open at the top, it's like the GB-186 without the the bottom perc. although the perc is a more barrel shape.

Also the reviews for it seem to be positive.

It doesn't matter if the top isnt open, it's gonna provide a fair amount of diffusion, and its only got like 1-2 cm of clearance from the perc to the top of the can.
I have and Love a GB186 - take another look at it, its got 10-15cm clearance above the perc, and with a water level barely submerging the top perc, I get it stacking up the whole can.

Seriously, have a think about the airflow and how the bubbles will stack...

@Frederick McGuire
The guy just wanted to start some where.
For the price point I felt their was little risk?
Let him learn as he tries?
If he gave me a choice I would say start with the D022 or D020!
Eh, to me that piece looks like a waste of $$$
$30 may not be much for a piece of glass, but it's more than I'd be willing to pay for a piece that'll end up being used as a paperweight...
CANNABIS is the HOLY GRAIL!
Indeed :nod::leaf:

Is the only difference between a D-020 and a D-020-D the angle of the perc slits?
Nope.
I think the can is a slightly different size, and I think the base is slightly different between them, but I don't have them in front of me to check.

The D020 has an angled showerhead - with I believe 10 slits.
The D020-D has a simple matrix - I think this one only has 6 slits? (Maybe it's 10 - my one is on loan to a buddy right now so I cant check) inside the perc is a little band of glass that splits up each slit (kinda like gridding, but a different technique) which effectively doubles the number of points of diffusion.

Also another one that looks good is the
GB-213: http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/glass-bong-glass-smoking-pipe-with-1-perc/194597626.html similar to the D021 but better clearance to the mouthpiece.
That one looks much better to me :D
More clearance so the perc can stack, I can't see you inhaling water too easily with that one :)
Edit, just noticed the price on that one, says $75 for me... That's kinda high for dhgate stuff, but if that's the sorta piece you want, it's still 1/2-1/3 of the price of an equivalent US made piece :)

As stated already, the -D is bigger, being both taller and a bigger bore can.

How is the D-020-D different from the GB-187? cause if there isn't that big a difference i may go with that one instead of waiting for "soon" from yingmin :S but i would really like to get the 187 if it were available.

@Tweak answered this exact same question back on the 16th for me

The GB-187 looks like a bigger matrix than the D020-D/D020-W perc

Saw this a while ago, but just compares Drag.

got the 187 in :D over all pretty pleased. Don't see any cracks, mp is pretty straight, the perc is mostly straight on this one, seems to fire evenly. The mouthpiece weld looks much nicer than the one in the stock picture. The base is a nice thickness/weight/width. Oh and I got no logo (thanks!!) My only major complaint is the wobbly weld around the 18mm dewar joint. So far my reducer + O ring seems to make a good enough seal so it's not really a deal breaker, but very very sloppy weld for a point that needs to be sound and airtight. Over all if feels solidly built, just as others have reported. The mouthpiece has a decent size flare too. I'm pretty happy with the function of it, though when put side by side with the 20-D, it actually has a slight bit more drag. Here's some pics and vids, I did a side by side water perc test with the 20-D so you guys and gals on the fence have something to compare.

That -D is quite a nice piece... Think this pic might just have sold it to me - Thanks :tup:

IMO, you can't go wrong with either the D020-D, the D020-W, or the GB-187.

Is the bigger matrix perc better? how bout the can size on the two of them?

The can of the GB-187 is like that of the D020, so it is less wide than the D020-D/-W. But it makes up for it in height.

As for the difference in the percs, the 187's "matrix" perc has a tiny bit more diffusion, but not really enough to make a huge difference. They both have a similar pull, and I'd actually say the D020-D is less resistant but the 187 stacks higher.

Problem is though, the GB-187 is OOS.

Many sellers have it on alibaba. Search "glass bubbler" and a bunch come up :)

Better angle pic. Looks like it might be a good cheap recycler. It might even vortex :D Not sure about the double tubes? Anyone have any experience with a recycler like this?

Hey @Boogerman,did you try to get a quote from them? I did but nothing has been clear.I asked a few times what that rig would be shipped to USA and I get the runaround with , "dont you need a vape pen with it, we have better deals on vaporizers" kept on asking about glass and no answer, but they must have referred me out to others who are hammering me with quotes with no prices.If that makes sense, "We can do go #'s if you buy from us" I replied OK how much? no reply but nothing but bombardment of them saying that they want to do biz,I dunno :shrug: seems nuts to me, wish I could understand why they arent able to give a quote:hmm:? I think theyre interested in selling large lots of their products and maybe arent into a small potatoes type of sale that I am,I tried and was wondering if any others had any luck or attempted to contact them?
 

Dangus

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

I got a response, but shipping for a 5 lot was ~$70 or so, making the order ~180 or so IIRC...didn't seem worth it to me.

I suggest holding off and wait for them to show up on dhgate. In fact, they are already showing up:
lot of 5:
http://www.dhgate.com/product/high-quality-glass-water-bong-pipe/201933473.html

lot of 10:
http://www.dhgate.com/product/factory-price-glass-smoking-pipes/201932988.html

Note that this is an UNTESTED seller...I think with a little more time singles will show up. Also note that 6 different pieces are shown in the listing. Might be worth it to contact him and see if you can get 5 of the style you want, or grab/mixed bag etc

Though I think in time they will be up in singles...but waiting can be tough!

cheers!

Heads up DHG is having a Red Envelope contest, no purchase required. I was hoping to win the top prize of a trip to China (in order to hand-deliver some new designs to Kathy), but no luck this time.. I did win a $10 coupon (on $50 purchase) that is showing up on my dhg account and looks legit.

I claim the unspoken law of FC, which says the first member who buys and posts pics here of a new glass piece shall be given the right to officially name the piece on FC.

Here is via CCGlass, BLACK MAMBA! Dead sexy, huh?

I'l be back later with a vid testing it with the Nano on an all-glass path. The glass tiles at the bottom are .75 inches for scale purposes. The piece is less than 6-inches total height.

Find me a headier piece under $50 and I'll buy that too.

still waiting for the d022 to be back in stock...... i feel like i might cave and get a d020-d

any suggestions
Get your red envelope coupon (probably $10 off $50 purchase).That coupon code is valid until the 19th of August. Make up your mind by then and save a few $$

I'm not too interested in the D022..... Now a sidecar GB-187 - YES PLEASE (doesn't exist yet, wishful thinking)

Personally, I say buy the D020-D or the D020-W (W is my favorite so far)
