My latest rendition. Made the can a little bit taller to minimize the amount of water going into the whip / mouthpiece joint. And I increased the size of the mouthpiece joint so that it matches the one on the top (both 18mm female).
I'm almost kinda excited about this piece. Could it be possible we can get somebody to start producing these? Hate to get my hopes up, but I'd love one!

Agreed, I think a showerhead would be better, one with fairly big slits to preserve flavour

I agree with this. Who do you guys think makes the best one? Post some pictures.Agreed, I think showerhead would be better, one with fairly big slits to preserve flavour
We will design it together. It seems to have already generated enough interest to call for a 25 piece production run. Not going to be real soon but it can for sure happen

The D022 is currently my favorite. I wouldn't mind if the can were a little wider, but the tumor perc (sorry) between the MP and the can make for good viewing with the Lotus, which helps me a lot. I also like that the water level is not critical and I can adjust it. The ability to pull out the perc is kinda nice for cleaning, but not critical. I do like this perc for flavor.

I LOOOVE my JhanPixel showerhead, really flavoursome, the best out of all my pieces for flavour IMO. Link in my sig to a video just hover over the one you want to view. Or here is the ioffer link.

But also the Devastator or D022 perc look good too

Looks like a cool idea. A hookah style bubbler would be interesting.My latest rendition. Made the can a little bit taller to minimize the amount of water going into the whip / mouthpiece joint. And I increased the size of the mouthpiece joint so that it matches the one on the top (both 18mm female).

Should definitely be possible to get it made.
That perc looks really nice. Any water test vids of it?How about a downward slitted donut perc? Like this one from aifeng0603. Flame polished would be a plus.
Or any other clearer pics at a better angle for some photoshopping?

I think we need to consider far less diffusion in general with these pieces, considering at least most of us are vaporizing.
Heres a link to the piece with that Perc.

Maybe like the one I showed minus a few slits.

As posted in the cheap high qual bubb thread if anyone has connections that can put through a good word for copies of the bubbler below, there seems to be quite a demand for them and they are clearly china made.

@tennstrong I am currently working on these as well. I will hopefully be posting a prototype in the next couple weeks. They will include ofz style caps

Makes you wonder if they advertise that piece as US made, are their dabuccinos the real deal for $765.00? I also see some of Kathy's pieces with a huuuuge mark up.
I think that if you buy in bulk you should mark your stuff up for resale, but this is insane.
Dabuccino.

I do like the idea of having a removeable 26mm/18mm downstem like that, although I feel like china vendors amp up the price of 26mm downstem pieces like that because of their limited demand.The illadelph disc perc bubbler would be a good model, and maybe the joint for a removable downstem would be easier to do well than Dewar seals? @ataxian's idea of a downward male joint is smart since tubing would still work but also j-hooks and ash catchers.
Edit: on the other hand, if we go for a stemless downstem I really like the style of built in dd that smash glass has been doing

Yes. Say max. 4 slits.

Something to keep in mind is that diffusion isn't only for cooling/cleaning the smoke tho. More, smaller bubbles gives a smoother more purring bubbling action, vs fewer big bubbles.
I really doubt that with most pieces people could tell the flavor difference in a blind test. Obviously with some of the very percolated ones vs the super simple ones, but a matrix vs that donut perc, I doubt it.

The major deciding factor is slits vs holes (and their placement- for example my ogc recycler has all 3 holes facing away from the uptake tube for a better chug- although this is hard to replicate), how large the holes are, closed vs open downstem, and placement/size of the chamber. These are all the biggest factors in the many tubes that I've tried (and I've water tested very many/dabbed, both ranging low to high end). Obviously different percs have different pulls but you can mostly relate some to others, for example the pyroglyphics plinko doesn't feel like a incycler as much as it feels like a mini circ to fab that varies wildly based on individual models.(for these you have to test in store, talking even to managers they say its a love / hate thing with each individual plinko)
