Cheap High Quality Bubbler

xRUFUSx

special like everyone else
I Just received my D020-D in the mail today and I don't know enough about percs to know if anything is wrong, the piece itself looks and feels great and I was super excited until I hit it. It made a loud chuggy sound and it really does not stack bubbles very much.. Not really sure what to think.
I fill my old school d020 an 1/8" above the perc slots with distilled h2o and add 4-5 drops of cranberry extract, and it stacks nice for about 10 dabs, then goes flat. I change water every 2-3 days and a $1 gallon of distilled lasts a month+! There's a bomb thread about that on FC somewhere... another good one on PBW cleaner every (other) water change or so for an everlasting showroom clean for cheap and easy (and bio-safe). Zero bong-funk for 6 months strong!

I got a single HC from Kathy months back and it hardly passes air... if yours is functional, give it a nickname, throw it in the rotation, and brag about how cheap it was lol I have no answers :(

Can you post a picture of your water level? How hard are you drawing?

Why do u guys like the d020 so much? There looks like there are better pieces, no? It just seem a little basic to me

I'm talking about the D020-D http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/d020-d-bubb
Personally I think it's one of the nicer dhgate pieces, what do you consider better?
It's a knock off of a 330 dollar mobius piece and I think it functions pretty well considering it's 10% of the price!

EDIT : People like the D020 because it's the most affordable decent piece on dhgate imo.

Like I said before I'm new to glass but this has one perc and others have more. Isn't more better?
Humans have 1 heart and 2 kidneys. That doesn't make the kidneys inherently better.

Also, different percs do different things. Sometimes you want to minimize the drag of your pull. Sometimes you want to maximize diffusion. Each perc and piece is gonna do that differently, and everyone will have a personal preference as to which piece of glass works best with any given vape/method.

Especially for vaping, it seems like smaller pieces are a bit nicer because of vapor production dropoff making it hard to milk big pieces, or to get clouds that you can hold.

EDIT also, more diffusion tends to mean less flavor. For people like myself who love flavor, too much diffusion is definitely a thing.

Hahaha great analogy!! Clears things up a bit. I will be hooking up my vape n also dabbing. I kno I'm getting into noob questions but generally what's good for those two methods?

As a general rule, you want a small piece with minimal diffusion for oils/dabs, and a small-to-medium sized piece with low-to-moderate diffusion for vaping.

As an even more general rule, throw that out the window and get what you like :)
I personally prefer medium-to-large pieces with lots of diffusion, so that's what I use for dabs and vaping.
 
:hmm:
Wow, lost already...lol. Kathy is a terrible liar. My tracking info still isn't working so I'm expecting some kinda of the same BS here as well.:shit:
I would start messaging her maybe that will put pressure on her. I just told her ship my package today or refund my money. I threatened to file a dispute( which she hates) and also threatened to leave bad reviews on here and DHGATE if she didnt comply. I was just trying to get a response I doubt it will speed up anything but if enough of us hit her with BOMBARDMENT!!!!:goon::horse::horse::goon:

As others have mentioned. No, more is not always better. With combustion/smoking - you want MORE diffusion. With vaping, too much diffusion will rob all flavor from the hit!
Believe me, I have a few glass pieces I cannot use for vaping because I can hardly taste anything! The fun part about cheap glass is trying several different types of percs to see what you like best.

============================

Just tried to place an order on Dhgate (4th order) with sunshinestore. And now it's saying my credit card is refused, not verified by the bank! Strange because this is the same card I've used the past 3 times without any problem.....

Can you guys give any suggestions? I've tried 4 times this morning! Even tried to sign up for Masterpass and use the same card, with no luck.

Found this, don't really get how it functions but it's a perc inside a perc which I thought was kind of neat...
but idk..

also have a clear version : http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/mimi-glass-bong-oil-water-pipe-18-8mm-nail/197886083.html

I thought this was also kind of neat for vapors because of the bent gong

My bud @Frederick McGuire was looking for a kind of 'party bong' piece and I thought this one was
alright for the price
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/big-high-water-glass-pipe-bongs-double-honeybome/200001366.html
or this honeycomb to turbine
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/big-glass-water-pipe-glass-bong-2-honeycomb/197274567.html
(which I thought was kind of neat because the turbine is more realistically placed in the tube so you could get a nice turbine effect easily)


Honestly though i'm not overly crazy about any of these pieces though..
What i'd really like to see (and I hate to sound like a broken record) but
some hydratube knockoffs like their mini side circs + i'd like to see some smaller can
Sovereignty stemline gridded pieces with the grids facing up.

Anywhoo..:uhoh:

Wrote to Mike @ SS store and inquired about him making replacement down stems for D022.I told him a lot of us like the rig but downstems are almost the same price of the rig here in the states. and a few memebers have broke them.One poster said that his replacement that he paid 24$ and said it didnt work as well as the original .
I could use an extra so I told him produce some replacements and his response was:
"ok, i will make some extra spare parts for D022, the down stems will keep the same as the origin one. thanks."

Well if any of you(@Ataxian:cool:) like that rig, might be a good idea to get another D.S. and I hope he sells em in lots of 2 like his adapters:peace:

I feel ya brother.I think Im gonna have to resort of doing when I 1st met Kathy and our procedure a year ago was you ordered it and basically even though hard to do,FUGETABOUTIT...... and in a months time they would show up.She;s never been a ball of fire and who knows, might be a part time gig she has with this glass and you have to be on her clock of doing things. Nothing deters her from dragging her ass so its best to just not hold your breath, she aint no SS store or Yingman, and TBH even the new guys we have picked up are on their job getting shit out in a timely manner. I will admit its a PITA at times dealing with her, but for the love of import glass and prices,in the long run its all good.The only thing we can do is offer other glowers that we know and ask them to create or procure the rig. Competition has got to be fierce in that country !

Very well said.
If you don't want to wait buy at a higher price.
Want the low price?
It gets there when it gets there!
Tracking Number? (really?)

Have a D020 in your arsenal!
Order stuff and wait!

At least you have something to do!

I use Kathy all the time.
Tracking Numbers?

Different Culture!

These even gonna work??

Yup, and I'm excited to see them available too. I haven't tried a reverse perc before.


Like @Tweak said... It's not the wait I care about. It's her lying and what not...:2c:

I just got a message from her, from my understanding she is waiting for her bulk order to arrive so they can divide and ship Monday. So it sounds like she is hoping for them to be in tomorrow. Or she is lying again, :D.

I see it from her side, it would be hard to maintain inventory and gauge interest on new pieces. With such a small profit margin, they have to run things tight. Sucks that she is gaming the DHGate system like this, but it keeps prices low, keeps them in business and keeps the new pieces coming.

No excuse but I've dealt with much worse CS.

Do you have a D020?
I find them perfect for the SOLO!

No, currently a Grace Glass bubbler is my only one, after I broke my other piece which was a weedstar one. This cost about the equivalent of $80:



It's a good piece but I quite fancy the D020-D too (although like many would prefer a sidecar ver). DH Gate only recently seem to have put sensible prices on shipping to the UK (where I am) so i'll probably pull the trigger on the D... But, it'll have to wait until next month, I've already way overspent this month (2 x snappo's blanks, 3 x Ed's stems and an exotic E-nano).
