Cheap High Quality Bubbler

@Dangus I both love and loath your posts. It is always nice to see what new stuff is available. But then I want to order it and the problem arises as I already own a shit ton of glass.

@Frederick McGuire I am so excited to see actual pictures and hear reviews for all the pieces you got. I have been eyeing most of those and been having a hard time not ordering the ball rig

Super Cheap!
$20 + or -? (delivered!)
If that's important?

I'm nervous of the cheaper class breaking from a male nail, was hoping to use an 18-18 or 18-14 adapter on it. Harbor freight torch ftw! Is that your only torch? I've thought about getting something else but $8 for a lifetime warranty is legit. I've taken my torch back twice now and exchanged for a new/better one lol.

Oh yeah so my two rigs got here today! At 10:51am apparently. I went to work around 12:30 so I didn't even check the mail... Doh! Oh well, they are supposedly sitting in the big mailbox for packages with a key in my box so I'll be sure to get some pictures and what not after I unbox everything. Way excited, the inline is going to my neighbor so really I'm just getting the D020 and adapters. As mentioned above, nervous about the male nail so I ordered an 18-14 adapter so I can try out my TiPower 710 domeless on it. The heat retention according to my infrared gun doesn't seem to be all that great anymore.

Should see the YQ-42 and ashcatcher next week. I've got to say I'm pretty impressed actually. Ordered on September 8th/9th (not sure with time delay) and delivered to Colorado on the 18th. It came from San Francisco to here super quick. 9/10 days is pretty awesome. If I like the D020 which I'm sure I will I'm selling the Silika and using all of that money towards new rigs/accessories. :D

Are there any cheaper beakers like this on dhgate?

I've seen one, but the beaker portion is a bit too slanted for me and doesn't look as nice. Or are bubblers better for the vapor? I was looking into the d020, but with a 14mm adapter the total would probably come out to about 40, and I feel like I should just get the beaker if i'm spending 40

Don't know, I personally don't care for straight tubes anymore - why crane my neck when I can sit comfortably?

It's all about personal preference - the beauty of these cheap pieces is you can buy many for the same price of one at your LHS. Less diffusion is always better to retain flavor of the flower. Also think about center of gravity - I can keep my vapes inverted on a GonG on many bubblers without any fear of it tipping over.

Don't forget you should avoid using ice with vaporizers, as it will condense the vapor before it reaches your lips. Those ice-pics are useless for vaporizing/dabbing

It was still less than $40 for my D020 and 18/14 adapter for my tipower nail.

Personally I wouldn't touch any kind of piece anymore like that. Inline downstems to percs are just so much better than the classic downstem IMO.

Here's my D020 and my neighbor's rig. He was pleased with it. I messed with the water levels for a few minutes and just couldn't find a sweet spot to where I liked it. But he was so thrilled about it and that it was so cheap came and with a nice ti-nail. He gave me a dab to try on it and I got a good one off it for sure. I'm real glad I passed on that piece for myself and that he was still very happy with it. It's a beautiful piece I really like the way it looks just not something I would want to use. :)

Now as far as the D020 goes...

This thing is amazing! It hits much smoother IMO than my Silika rig and is much more comfortable to use. I don't get discomfort in my chest/lungs off a huge dab like I would on the Silika either. I'm so so happy with this thing. I got into dabbing with oil rigs last December and I feel like I've just been wasting away. The amount my roommate and I have put through it there is already less reclaim than my other rig would have built up. He's really liking the rig too. The 18/14 adapter works perfect with my Ti-Power nail and I thought it'd be awkward but it's actually pretty sexy. I thought heat from the nail hitting your face would be an isssue but it's not. Actually better than my other rig honestly the super bent/curved neck helps tremendously.





Yes that's ISO near the sink. :p I'm reading up on rezblock and PBW. This forum is the shit.

I also recommend looking into getting a cheap bottle of degreaser from your local Dollar Store (Anything that contains 2-Butoxyethanol.). Much much cheaper than ISO and can even be diluted. I use it along with RezBlock (Botanical Choice Cranberry Extract) and my glass has never been cleaner, and label free, :brow:.

Glad your liking the D020.

I personally recommend PBW because it's non-toxic and made for cleaning glass in the production of goods for human consumption (marketed for home-brewery systems)... food safe. No worries about splashing the solution on your dishes in the sink etc. 1 lb tub will last a year. Fold a business card in half or quarters to use as a scooper.

@ataxian What's this one called?

I want to interface it with a SS Vaporblunt I just got :D

Is Simple Green a good one for that? I'll look more and check labels. I work on my car sometimes so it'd be nice to use some for that purpose as a lot of car guys seem to rave about it.

Any suggestions on places to buy it locally? I kinda doubt it'd last a year, I clean pretty religiously. Still I can already see it being way longer lasting than ISO especially paired with some degreaser and rezblock.

I don't wanna get too OT here. I know this is a fuck combustion but I cannot WAIT to get my YQ-42 and put some amazing flowers through it. I'm going to dab rig it first though for shits and grins. I combust maybe a little over a quarter a month so I'm getting better compared to the half O/week I was smoking earlier this year.

Local micro-brewery supply would be your only hope for real PBW I think. YMMV but one teaspoon every few days in my D020 keeps it nice (cranberry extract as well) until the pink goes cloudy. I should clarify I think my tub will last me a year at this rate with only this piece, roughly 5 dabs a day. Cheers!

PWB it works, safe and cheap!

The ASH COLLECTOR you circled
It's from Kathy 57 on dhgate web site.
I love this one because I can fit a mouth piece to my liking.
I clean pretty religiously.
I use to collect cars!
For glass I always use something else.
Cars are cars and water pipes are water pipes. I never mix the two?

Should be easy to find out here then, thanks.

EEEEEEE just tracked the YQ-42 again and it's in San Francisco! :D

MAYBE TOMORROW! That would be epicly fast but I'm banking on it'll get here Monday. :)

I'm bored at work and I need to do something about this GAS you guys have given me! I told the neighbor I wanted to start ordering 2-3 at a time and honestly keep the one I like the best and sell the others and he said he's totally down and will give me money anytime I put an order in. So the plan is to order 3 on this next one, flip one to the neighbor and flip the other on craigslist or get my roommate to buy HIS OWN dab rig so I don't have to leave mine in the living room 24/7. ;)

Is there any way possible we could get a mod edit on the 1st post on page 1? Idk it'd be nice to have a quick guide put together with buying on dhgate so people like me don't have to constantly ask questions. :p

It'd also be nice to have links to all the sellers and other misc. info to people new to buying this glass. I'd be more than happy to put something together if a mod could edit the post.

The mods have been trying to figure out the best way to compile information for these mega-threads, there has been some suggestion of a "best of" to highlight the best posts for a thread (flagged by fellow members) Sadly there are limitations of the software and a solution has yet to found.


I've got a $23 credit for DHgate I'm holding until I find something I REALLY want. Scoured DHgate from top to bottom this past week and haven't seen anything that perks my interest. Could it be, is my GAS slowing down?? Not really, I simply can't afford the nicer quality pieces I now crave!
