Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Dangus

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
I'm wondering?
Ice is too cool down combustion right?
Why would you use ice for a vapor path?
Does not make sense?
If you want a cooler path why not reduce the energy to the device by turning it down a bit?

While some folks here even like warm water, I'd say some still, including myself, prefer cool vapor...

Not ice, but I like the vapor tamer to cool my vapor from my lsv. I like milky hits but also like cool vapor; so the tamer, along with water filtration, works well for me. Though I could see utilizing the ice pinches...why not? Sounds like fun.

Your mileage may vary

Me too, :wave:. I gave warm water a few chances and it always seems like the vapor is harsher on my throat.

I normally use room temperature water or if my bottle is empty I grab a new one from the fridge, so the first few hits are through cold water.

For me ice works too effectively and I can't feel any of the vapor. I'd rather have some feedback.

Cool. Has anyone received the CCG version yet? I'd love to see how the chinese glass compares in action.

Edit: Quoting quotes doesn't seem to work that well. This refers to the GravLabs Gold Coin knockoffs...

Just received the first piece from Kathy. Delivery was 8 days total to NJ which is amazing. I ordered something that was shipped from FL on the same day and has yet to arrive.....

As for the recycler. Great lil piece...altho mine does not vortex, it hits like a champ. Little smaller piece than what i expected, but the overall quality is sturdy and the base seems pretty solid

So I finally received two of the 4 pieces ordered on the 18th of Aug and received on the 22nd of September, so Europeans patience is the essence but wonderful is the reward

This is a photo of them both next to the GB187 for your pleasure.

Just opened the packaged and both of the pieces are in good nick, 3 (see above photo) is much taller than expected, it has the down stem a little skewed and the base seems kinda thin, definitely not one for the clumsies :ugh:, I love the mouth piece, the lips have a nice ledge to rest on. the slits on the Reti perc are not all at the same level but seemed to be polished. On both items the ground joints are nice and tight. small bubbles are in and there but nothing to cry about.

If anyone wishes I'll try to get a vid out of number 3 (Reti perc) as the Ratchet has been covered a few times but I can't recall any of the other.

Your glass is so shiney?
Did it come like that or did you Polish it before the photo?

I'm going to polish my pieces after clean with this:
In the mean time a cheap set up with a top shelf cannabis strain to pass the time!

@hd_rider this is one of my cheap setups!

Glass is a clean path for vapor however let us not forget:
CANNABIS is the HOLY GRAIL!

Thanks but not really, no polish.

The two on the left were brand new, but I up the contrast of the photo and that gives them an uplift , got to be presentable for the community :)

And to be fair to my glass family, before a picture is taken I always ask them to shine for the camera :peace:

For those who prefer to do dabs and have sensitive lungs, i can see how it may be easier on them. Otherwise unless you are already one to constantly change water levels, it's just a pain in the neck for nothing but minor comfort and less medicine.

Sorry to hear your does not vortex, is it have enough water or pulling hard enough?

I have ordered this to accompany my 3rd d022. Looks like a fun little guy.

So, I have been waiting patiently for my highly recommended D022 to arrive, and I notice that it is still in San Francisco where it has been since Wednesday morning. I was kinda hoping it might get here today, but that is wishful thinking given it's only been a week. Soon come.

I DID add a note to the order asking them to be sure the down stem joint was tight and not wobbly. I have no idea if that will help or if they even read the order notes, but I figured it couldn't hurt.

This piece looks like it will have a little more distance between the MP and the joint, but I have been wondering if there is something out there that can be dropped into the MP (as well as others) as an extender to increase that distance. Something with a reasonably wide bore that might mate with slightly different width mp tubes. The sheer variety of widths would make that difficult...

well, i got my frit to turbine in today. only took like a week or so. unfortunately, they forgot the box. it was wrapped in layers of bubble wrap. of course it was shattered in a thousand pieces when i unwrapped it. :(

what was left of it looked pretty nice. so i opened a dispute to get a replacement sent. i requested a box this time around, otherwise i would prefer a refund. first time ive gotten a broken piece from china, so i guess we'll see how this goes...

Any particular piece? Cory is duplicating the fab eggs, but I'm sure they aren't priced for this thread. I don't recall seeing any serious attempts by the Chinese vendors, but I might have missed them. They have certainly knocked off a few of the other big guns...

On a different subject, is there a review anywhere of the D022 with a water test? There are several that sing it's praises (Hi Ataxian et. al.) but I don't remember a water test.

Don't get one!
I like mine however I don't want the responsibility of someone who doesn't like it!

It depends on what vaporizer you pair any piece with?

Vapor production matched with Water filtration

Find what you like?

The d022 pairs well with what I vaporize with.

Their are so many choices and many are even better!
I have 20 different setups and rotate them all!

The D022 is just one I like!

Please help. I need a really smooth bubbler with a lot of diffusion. I am having nodules removed my throat in the beginning of Oct. I have the evo xhale vaporizer and a lot of fc'ers are sending me to this site. I am very new to this. If I ever get to use my beloved xhale again it will have to be with a really smooth WT. I can't afford hundreds of dollars on this right now. I am very down about this whole thing. The reason I bought the evo was to use it with water. I may try edibles but just can't start making cannaoil just yet.

Which piece would any of you recommend


I am willing to purchase thru dh gate
I just don't know what I am doing with all of this
In close to 40 years of smoking I never thought this would happen to me.
