Cheap High Quality Bubbler

I've been lurking on this forum for around two months now, so I figured it was time to give back and post a review or four.
The first piece I ordered online was a small bubbler from iOffer's Andysk2. For $63 I got this:
colorful-glass-bong-oil-rigs-glass-bubbler-water-pipes-c892.jpg

Hits quite nice, and came with an extra adapter. It was a gift so I haven't used it much, but I'd give it a solid 7/10.

Next came the Upline piece from Wings of Liberty (laubinyo). I'd been browsing iOffer almost every day, and found the 20 inch version (the tallest) posted for $113 one afternoon. I assumed it was a error, and that they wouldn't honor it, but sure enough the piece showed up 17 days later.

The piece hits like a champ, and while I've almost pulled a lung a time or two trying to clear it, I keep it in my rotation. Unlike all my other chinese pieces, this one seems hand-crafted, and there's zero imperfections. 9/10

The next two pieces I got were the diffusion pump, and spiral recycler.

The diffusion came from Steven, and took only 12 days to get here. The spiral I ordered from CCG, and it took 14. I love the diffusion, easily 10/10, and the spiral is cool to show off. Not good for much else, and reclaim tends to get stuck in the neck - 6/10.

I ordered a turtle fritted disc from Alina0086, and it took 17 days to get delivered. I'd never hit a frit-disc before, and honestly I think it might be my favorite perc for combustion (this was a gift for a friend who only combusts, and I haven't dabbed with this piece yet).

9/10 - for $45 I'm thrilled.

I've also bought the 2 color gun rig:

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality, useable piece, but it looks sick, and stands up. Can't complain for the $23 I paid.

Okay now for the problems I've had. I placed an order for Kathy's new fab egg on February 25th. I was sent a tracking number on the 10th of March, but it didn't update with anything until the 25th. It was finally delivered on Wednesday (the 1st), but instead of shipping the newest fab egg, I was sent the older, smaller model (with honeycomb perc). I messaged Kathy, and she apologized, and asked me to send the piece to another "USA Client". She then proceeded to send me all of the guy's contact information, and shipping address. So if there happens to be a Sean from Savannah Georgia on here, hit me up, I've got your piece. Kathy seems unwilling (or simply can't understand how) to send a prepaid shipping label, so I'm not sure when I'll actually send this thing out.
I've read a lot about "fake" shipping labels, but from what I've experienced, it seems like sellers will register a tracking number with USPS (or chinese company), but not actually ship the piece, in order to circumnavigate DHGate's time requirements. Quite a few of my tracking numbers have been showing "unable to locate" for a week or more, before finally updating.
I called Kathy out on this after my tracking had shown invalid for 14, and she told me "checking tomorrow we need 3 to 5 days local shipping thank you."
Cool, that's helpful, thanks kathy :|.

I ordered the D-Cycler and newest CCG fab egg yesterday, and I was given a $3 discount for buying both together. While I would have loved to get a slightly larger discount, CCG has easily had the best communication of all the vendors, so I don't feel bad paying a bit more for their products.

I'd been searching for a high quality incycler for a few months, but finally decided to drop some real $ on a custom piece since I don't trust the assembly lines to produce anything even slightly intricate. I'll post a review over in Recent Acquisitions, but here's a quick picture of the circ to fab klein I got from Brandon P Glass (there's videos on his IG). Pictures don't do the color justice, the blue stardust is incredible in the light:

After using chinese glass as my daily driver for several months, its nice to hit something that is crafted out of love - not some 10 year old's sweat and tears.

Finally, I was curious if anyone has ordered from Justinetian? They've got a dabuccino klein that I really want:
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/2015-new-limited-edition-starbucks-glass/228681887.html
It was originally listed at $180, so I messaged them offering $75. They responded offering $120, which I said no to, and the next day they dropped the price to $111.
I've messaged and offered $90 if they sent a water video, but they didn't reply. Oh well.

Anyway thanks to everyone who's posted reviews here in the past - this site has single handedly gotten me addicted to glass.

Just got a message from growhighglass, and I thought this snippet was interesting:
"However, we kindly hope you could cooperate with us to take a video or photo of the product you received, and upload the video or photo to below website or any related website
youtube, facebook, instagram, fuckcombustion, tumblr, googleplus, twitter."
That also means, if anyone had any doubt, that they are probably all reading in here now and should have a better feel for what we expect and how we share our experiences. And when they screw one of us, we all know it.
The weird thing is it doesn't seem to improve on the service we get...

I just checked DHgate and it appears laubinyo is closed. Nothing is posted in their store.

I have an order pending for their 12" turbocharged incycler and sent them a PM through DHgate to see what's going on. Hopefully it's a false alarm or associated with the Qingming festival starting tomorrow.

Edit: Also, Kathy's skull egg is listed in her store again.

I received a reply from Laubinyo in regards to their recent store closure:

"Please rest assured, my friend, is a normal shop recently adjustment"

I'm going to take this as, 'all is well, your pending orders are fine'. (I may be over-translating)

It appears Laubinyo has opened a new store under 'Wingsofliberty'. Laubinyo itself is closed.

Received my Sunshinestore PNWT for my Arizer Air yesterday and it is awesome. I remember hearing about finicky water levels, but for me, at least, it's easy as can be. Fill JUST above the perc and it's perfect and it looks like there's no risk of water getting in to the inner tube (leaking out).

Also, as others have said, the stem fits great into the 14mm joint and makes a good seal, however it is a bit wobbly. The draw seems great so I'll probably get a standard (non-PVHE) gong to get rid of the wobbliness and make the seal better/easier.

For $20, I'd highly recommend anyone with a solo or air get this if they do not have a water tool already. A truly insane deal IMO.

From a podunk country town where nasty metal pipes were commonplace, I always got quite the reaction from the solo cooled w a pwnt -all packed tightly in a sleek black camera case tat fit it all oh so perfectly. It may have looked a grandiose ritual for a burn cruise, but I got aloooot of people introduced to smooooooth vapor.

Well I have the UFO, Fc711, Stereo matrix 186, and nectar tube. Step awaaaay from the forum Ben, step away! And by Jodas guesstimate my eye pendy n gong will be started :)

This is not unusual. Both Wingsofliberty and Laubinyo removes all their listings and re-lists them with adjusted prices from time to time. I've seen it happen so many times i lost count.

I hear so many bad things about Kathy, but I really want an egg. Would you guys recommend waiting for reviews from ccgs new egg or just buy kathys? I did not have any bad experiences with dhgate but don't want to pay and get shafted. Any suggestions?

I'm putting my trust in CCG, I don't wanna support Kathy acting all insane. oh I forgot the egg incoming too in my last post. Even if it's base is very narrow I'll be making a marble/similiar base like the SSVUN or talking with /u/Ratchett about a printed base extension base. Like the Statue of Liberty on it's base.

I bought one just like it for $35 in a So Cal head shop. I like it very much. I use it with my solo, my e-nano, and with a hose, EVO and Herbie.
I like the ice catch, all percs in tree work. My perc tree isn't straight, but neither am I. I keep it in the frig: it's cool, man.

Just a pic of the D020-D. Been using it for dabs and for my solo with herb. Been loving the thing. I got it from Sunshinestore on DHgate and it's been awesome although the perc was slightly crooked it doesn't affect functionality.

Just ordered like 4 items from Kathy including the puck style oil rig. I am aware I might be waiting a long time but hopefully it arrives. Seeing others post videos about it makes me think it'll be a good piece. I just hope I get one that works correctly.

hey guys,


found dhgate because of reddit and its been an adventure ever since. just found this thread.

i have a kathy egg that is supposed to be arriving tomorrow. its in the post office of my city, i hope its not broken.


i got this from a seller named:
bubbler

http://www.dhgate.com/product/necta...ium/211438145.html#myaccount_allorders-4-null

the mouth piece glass section didnt have a hole big enough for a good hit, so i just leave it off. it actually fits perfectly (when the TI nail is removed) in my pelican 1050, with about 7 oil containers, a pipe, small bag of flower, a glass oil container i use as a "platform" for my collector, and a lighter! i need to find a small enough torch so i can take it on more hikes.


from alina0086
i got these in december:

http://www.dhgate.com/product/big-s...r/215173353.html#myaccount_orderdetail-2-null

i really like this peice. the percs are crooked but it doesnt effect the function. its actually my living room bong. its connected to an always on e nail. the flavor isnt the greatest but its good and stable on the e nail (which is an issue i run into often)

http://www.dhgate.com/product/hot-s...e/200326170.html#myaccount_orderdetail-1-null

i work as a server admin, and when the servers go down, i need to go the office. this is my office rig. i only use it when the servers go down, which means when i use it, i REALLY use it. i like this peice but its a little tough to clear because of the shape.




ill upload pics if someone requests it but im sure they are very well documented. i have some more im going to list later that i purchased.
