Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Ordered my first cheap piece off DHgate. Specifically a D020-D from Sunshinestore. My first piece of Chinese glass ever. Hoping it lives up to expectations.

Couldn't handle sticking my E-Nano into my Toro CirC bubbler anymore. Every time it sways or gets unstable from the uneven weight distribution I have a mini heart attack.

I have the same combo, e-nano/D020-D. You won't be disappointed. It's a perfect match imho, they share a basic simplicity and functionality that pair very well. SunshineStore was great.

I second this. As soon as I hit the e-nano/D-020-D combo I knew I had to order it's side car sister, the D-020-W.

That's a very nice setup. :)

Is that Rez Block in your water, and if so, how many drops? How old is that water?

Yeah it's RB. I use about 3-4 drops in this piece. Used to use way more but found you don't need much.

I'm thinking the reason it looks cloudy is because the water was from the fridge and there is condensation on the outside of the glass. It doesn't usually get that cloudy until after a session or two.

I use room temp bottled water for my glass, but noticed it would also get cloudy after a couple sessions. I may just try one drop since my bubbler is so small.

My Kathy dabuccino came in last week, finally got come concentrate today :tup:. Very nicely crafted, 4 hole diffy (in the shape of a showerhead) closed off. Rips great. Only complaint is there's almost an inch of excess downstem before the joint, if it came right off the top of the lid it would be perfect.

IMO the better option vs. the opened downstem version.

Second this, any perc generally with a closed downstem will function better than another without (exception being if you are combusting which would clog it, but shouldn't apply to this forum :) ). They are hands down better in nearly all pieces I've seen.

They are made in china, I've gotten responses from suppliers but they require very large quantity orders. The unit price is quite low, so the markup people are putting is huge. I'd say just wait for smaller suppliers to pick up on it, the price on the piece will probably be under 30$

I've seen one of the reall ones that they made this based on but I can't find the function vid on IG... If it functions like the real one then that's an awesome piece.

On another note what do u guys use to clean ur pieces?!?!!!!.... And what do u use to keep em clean??!

Three drops of cranberry extract (alcohol free) on your water will keep the piece shining and clean with nothing but ht water rinses between use. An ISO and salt shake should sterilize and scrub the piece clean, after a few days of use.

My luck I'd probably break that first piece in no time, it also looks like a pain in the ass to clean.

(EDIT: Oops, @EverythingsHazy beat me to it) I usually just change the water after every use and do a iso and salt shake when it starts looking a bit grungy. You can add a couple drops of cranberry extract to your water if you want to help keep things a little cleaner. It's the same stuff as rezblock.

I recently picked up a QB-001 from Sunshine Store to accompany my cherry E-Nano. $18+$23 shipping, single honeycomb. This piece is everything I wanted it to be. Sturdy, 5mm thick glass, 19mm sidecar, perfect size, no drag, little diffusion. I had reservations about getting any of the pieces that seemed ostensibly better or cheaper because they had far too much diffusion for my tastes. This tube has the least chug of any bong I've used for combusting or otherwise. I can get fat, milky hits with relatively little effort and hold them as long as I am able.

I've been using warm water mostly, though the piece uses such a small amount of water that it cools pretty quickly. I haven't had a chance to pick up any distilled water or cranberry extract, so some hard water stains have started to build. A little lemon juice will remove those, right?

I also had no need for the oil rig parts, so I asked for a bowl with a handle on it instead. SSS included two of that bowl instead of the oil rig. Unfortunately, I'll probably never use them, but it's nice that the seller was communicative and willing to make a substitution like this. All in all, I couldn't be happier. A simple water pipe solves every problem I've ever had with vaping. No more tickly throat, no more unfathomable dry mouth, just beautifully conditioned and tasty vapor.

While the piece is a little large, I don't feel too bad about transporting it. It travels pretty well wrapped in some bubble wrap. Since there are no moving pieces or complex percs and everything is at least 5mm thick it can safely be slipped into a duffel. This piece is so nice, in fact, that I'm contemplating investing in a separate, smaller travel-piece. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for something that goes with an E-Nano and/or a Lotus.

If you haven't already picked up the original D020, I HIGHLY suggest you check it out - VERY small for the price (I wasn't expecting it to be so small) - It was my first DHGate purchase, and still one of my favorites (I like to add it to my daily glass rotation from time to time)
