Cheap High Quality Bubbler

We do have some glass blowers on this forum that you could maybe check with. Can you feel the abrasions or are they inside of the glass? If you can feel the abrasions maybe use a rough sponge and carefully work it out?
Good to know. Do you know the username of any, that way I can try PMing one of them real quick.
That's the tricky part about it, it's so fucking hard to tell if it's actually on the glass or inside. I can tell that they're on a certain side, but I can't tell if it's just below the surface. I soaked it in 99ISO and vinegar (in case it was rust), it helped some but not completely. I'd be one thing if I knew it was embedded into the glass, but when I first cleaned it the cloth had a reddish-brown smudge from whatever it is, so some of it was not trapped within the glass. I tried scraping it lightly with a wire brush pipe cleaner, Q-tips, and one of my pointed dab tools to no avail.

Just a quick question for you guys. I consistently see people posting the prices they pay for the pieces on DH Gate but the link that is generally provided is higher than the price for-mentioned. Are any of you negotiating for lower prices or paying the bulk price on single piece orders?

The main reason for this is because once a piece becomes popular prices are raised, and sometimes they are raised for no reason at all!

Also certain items are listed as being on sale for a certain number of days but then will change price before the date listed.

Also if you aren't in the USA then shipping will often be more expensive. As a Canadian I often see people talking about a price on here and then click a link and the shipping makes it 10-15 bucks more.

Would think the valuation between US and Chinese currency effect price. Maybe?

I don't know if that's a blessing or not, That is the advantage of living in the USA, a country with a huge Chinese debt.

Have you seen how many people the Chinese have in their standing military? I'm glad they own a lot of our debt. Makes us too big to fail.

OT Japan owns almost as much but we never hear about that.

Thinking about picking this us for use with the cloud, heavy hitting sessions. What do you guys think?

Not much of a fan of honeycomb pieces personally.
Firstly with that piece you'd need to pull very hard to get a turbine.
2nd notice how all the water pools up in the turbine, making the percs fire less.
Something about honeycomb percs I never really find them actually that smooth.
I think you're better off getting a fritted disk from dhgate because I see them as number 1 for diffusion.

Anyone else dream of some china HT's.. I can't stop thinking of one w/ a 187 perc :rockon:

I know it's a small market for them, but that would be so sweet!! especially at their prices.. It would have to function right though, I'd hate to get water run down into my vape :o.. Ehh, I guess I'll keep dreaming :D :zzz:

Thank you sir for your advice. The other day I hit my friend water pipe with my cloud and I was pleasantly surprised. I mean IMO his pipe isnt the best looking or best quality. But it ripped with the cloud so I was thinking of getting a bigger piece.

Water level is high but thats post water melting. Drag was fine with this piece IDK how do you think a honeycomb might compare? Seems like ratchet perc? About 16" (based on soda can guesstimate LOL).

P.S. Dont mind the cracked coffee table. Someone did not distribute their weight properly while sitting on it (to work on computer).
 
olivianewtonjohn,
I don't get a lot of satisfaction vaping from bigger pieces. I find the YQ42 and the GB 186 not entirely to my liking. I find that I get darker avb and a generally more thorough extraction with my smaller pieces. They look great though :)

That looks like a slightly updated version of a piece I have.
The first thing everyone says when they see it is you could use it to bludgeon someone with it :lol: (@MGG recently said that about my YQ42, and this piece would have to be at least 1.5-2x bigger.)
My one is approx 14-16 inches (;):lol:)
I agree with @MGG - I don't tend to prefer honeycombs in general, but I do kinda like this piece.
It's heft seems to absorb the vibrations from the percolation so it seems like a smoother pull than I'd expect.

@Mr. Gweilo 420, I know it's all relative, but I personally consider the yq42 and gb-stereo matrix as "regular" sized (also my favourite general size) with things like
This 16"double honeycomb-turbine being "large" :tup:

My friend bought this piece and had it shipped to my house, so I got to use it for a little while. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it :) and he is really enjoying being the owner of it as well. It would be a perfect match for the cloud with all it's airflow, but I also enjoyed using it with just an enano. I think I have a pretty cool slo mo video somewhere of me using it w the nano that I can post.

Here is a water test vid :rockon:

I have this piece and I love it for combustion (sorry guys, I can't vape all the time lol). It rips. Flavor isn't amazing because there is a lot of diffusion but it is smooth. The turbine is more like a splash guard than it is a perc.

I was being sarcastic with my comment, I really believe that we get a break on shipping because we are their largest consumer.
