Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Hey was wondering your guys opinion on which is the best recycler would be. Doesn't Necessarily have to vortex as long as it recycles. From following the thread it seems like probably the Kathy ratchet recycler but just wanted to be sure. Was also interested in the grab labs one but I realize no one has recieved one to give it a review yet.

I gotta say, as most of you already know, if you're willing to buy non-American glass, DHgate is the place. Originally this post appeared on the DHgate thread, here. So If this is considered spam or double-posting then please remove it. I just thought I'd like to share my bubbler with this group as well.
This is order item code # 179567923 on DHgate's system.
It hits wonderfully, works great, and instead of $200 in the local shop I got it for $22 with free shipping.
Arrives in bomb-proof packaging, to quote another user! :)
Seriously folks if you need to save money this is a nice site. NOTE: I am NOT in ANY WAY involved or affiliated with DHGATE, its subsidiaries, or employees.
Here's the pic !

The tip of the mouthpiece is about six inches tall. (Looks taller, huh ?) :)

All praises to the FuckCombustion Forum !

I don't think you can buy cheap china hydrotubes yet. Your best bet is to get a basic one custom made by either Doughboy Glass or Distilled Glass - They should be able to make you a very nice solid HT for under $200

(Edit, FYI - my Herbie HT adapter has an 18mm male fitting)

Pardon my ignorance but want to get this right:
So a proper HT piece would then have a 18 mm female fitting?
Thanks again

Yes, this is correct


Just stopped by my LHS today and noticed the GB-186 on display (first time seeing it IRL, recognized it immediately). Then I looked at the price tag - $275 :o (Note, there was no logos, didn't even have the Mobius logo!)
Are you flipping kidding me?@!?!

Shame only Kathy is selling it - I am almost tempted to purchase from her, but I have heard too many negative things. She won't get my money with her bullshit

@yingmin5 and @sunshinestore - take note - Fuck with any of us, I will stop purchasing. I believe others agree with me.

I have been watching a few new vendors with some interesting pieces, though I haven't seen anything I really want. Can someone recommend a nice rig for the E-Nano - I want/need something with a 14mm male fitting this time around
u think they care if YOU stop purchasing?

An interesting thing vendor Maarte said to me recently :

"Please don't worry about the quality issue. Our products supply 70% US bong shop for last 3 years. My uncle's factory is the biggest in China. "

lmao it's so hard to trust what they say

It could be true, I've been dissatisfied by over 70% of US bong shops I've been to when it comes down to the quality of their glass. Though the US markups don't help the Chinese pieces look any better.

It is mostly true I am aware of a few companies who use china glass cos they don't have enough workers for a full blown factory so they partner with china

Finally got my replacement kathy ratchet-cycler in :)
No vortex to speak of, and it get's pretty chuggy when there's enough water to make it recycle, but as with all the pieces I've been getting at this price point, it functions so I'm happy :)

CCG apparently finally shipped out my replacement recycler 3 days ago, so hopefully that whole fiasco will be done with soon...

Oh damn that 2nd one looks nice! I'm digging the white lips and the white inline, the little dip in the main chamber where you could even keep your oils on and the design of this piece seems like it could actually manage to pick up a decent vortex. Only issue for me is the '14.5mm joint' >__< all my pieces are 18mm..
Though I might have to make an exception for this. If it was just a little cheaper like $50 or slightly under i'd jump.
