Cheap High Quality Bubbler

At these prices it is getting harder to justify because I could get distilled's recycler for the $150 range and people have raved about its functionality. They are not quite the same thing but I think I only want one recycler so this is a tough decision.

John in my experience you would have to wait a long time for one.

I wouldn't be so dismissive about the $70-$80 prices after all it does take time to make a piece that recycles/has art/is shaped oddly.

I've gotten many great pieces that hit like they should be $400.

Many of you have sang similar praise. Let's just pay the damn people it's not that much more $$. This is a handmade good we're talking about!

Just got my CCG Fab Egg. Ordered it on 4/13 and arrived today. Joint seems to be level, bowls and adapters fit fine, no leaks, and I have a 7 slit showerhead perc instead of the 6 pin hole. Paid $52.64 for the Egg, bowl, and 14mm to 14mm adapter. Hopefully those 9" eggs come out more consistent. I'm holding back on purchasing one until I see a few reviews.

does your egg function differently then the pinhole perc eggs?

edit: can we see a function vid lol

I believe that the rapid heating from the torch caused thermal shock causing it to break. I usually heat from the side and I seem to always crack them, although I have 1 that I have used on and off for 6 months that hasn't cracked. But to prolong the life of ceramic nails I think it is better to heat from the top than the side. I would appreciate if anyone can confirm this since I usually don't heat this way.
well heres my fab egg video, i have found nothing wrong with it. function is perfect. maybe having shower head slits instead of pinholes would allow better air flow but the drag isn't bad AT ALL

that scratching sound is from the ripples on the glass its sitting on in the beginning of the video. the bottom of the fab egg is completely smooth and solid



sorry i don't have a tripod for my canon t3

edit: this is the ceramic combo it comes with (female domeless and carb cap)

the domeless seemed to crackle on heating so i put it away lol.

Apart from cannabis related items I have been buying from China for quite a few years. I find that something that is cheap and crap to be way more expensive than simply getting a good deal on the real item. I guess my point is if you spend $70 or so on a bubbler and it doesn't function, well it is simply a waste of money. This has been my experience with Stevenlmz79. Everything I have gotten from him has had a flaw that affected function.

This really pisses me off that CCG has two different version. One with a perc that isn't so great and one with a perc that looks like it would function much better.

I am happy to see that you got a good one, but it kind of sucks for the rest of us that are stuck with the draggier perc.

I messaged Chinaaaron asking what type of perc is in his Fab Egg and I explained the issue with the CCG perc. If the Chinaaaron Fab Egg has the same 6 hole perc then I am going to cancel my order and message CCG and explain my disappointment and see if I can get a discount on one of their "good" fab eggs.

EDIT:
On a more positive note, my WOL knock off (is china really knocking off china pieces now lol?) sold by No1BigShip shipped today. It is the same one Steven just posted, however I got it for $56. Looks like No1BigShip only had 2 in stock though. I'm hoping it is the exact same one that Steven is selling. Hell No1BigShip may have even bought it from Steven haha :D

Ok upon full review of my eggs from CCG I realized all 3 came broken and Im super dissapointed. One leaks air and water from a pin hole in the front, another leaks air and water from where the support for the joint connects with the egg body and the third is cracked on the downstem. Heres a video of all 3 showing each ones defect. I messaged CCG about this, with a link to this video Im waiting for a response.



UPDATE:
CCG said they will send me replacements for all 3 and asked me to take the video down so I am.

Ok so now I'm talking to Cynthia at ccg again because i have a problem with the function on a small rig I got from them. The slits are all pointed towards the sidecar requiring slightly higher water levels but causing bubbling to only occur on the mouthpiece side and shoot straight up the mouth piece even while pulling slowly. Imo I simply can not over look this flaw and therfore can not use the rig. Has anyone else had a functional problem with ccg that was resolved ( besides from the horror story that scared everyone away lol). They don't seem to be realizing the problem although I explained it in as much detail as possible.

The CHINAAARON FAB EGG IS THE SAME AS CLEAN CLEAR GLASS. IT HAS A 6 HOLE PERC. I do not recommend the fab egg from Chinaaaron.

I might try the Kathy egg, but the base still looks small like the white/black fab egg she has. If it is the same size base, it won't be good to use with an e-nail :(

I am going to message CCG and complain about the perc and say that another member received one with a showerhead with slits (not tiny holes). I will let you know what they say!

I agree. It's awesome that the chinese blowers are capable of mass producing glass of this quality but the costs are rapidly approaching american glass.
I feel like that's because a lot of times people post on here saying "man I would pay $90-120 for that type of piece" and then they realize there is some more profit to be made although it may be at the expense of quantity sold but who knows...

The allure of low prices for a decently functioning piece is great, but easily lost with either quality issues (fab egg) or higher prices (steven's torus).

Cynthia from CCG has been friendly and even offered discounts during our convo's. their customer service has been A+ (even though i haven't had a problem lol). the pink mini egg i ordered hasnt shipped yet though :doh:.

I agree this is fucked up and should be addressed,
about to ask if the the new eggs ship with the slits instead of the pinholes
 
I've gathered a lot of info from this thread and have been lurking for a few months. You guys are awesome!

Just a quick question guys.... I know the fab egg is the hype at the moment, but, I am fairly new to glass and really want to try a Mobius piece since I've heard so many great things about them.

I'm having a hard time finding Mobius pieces so if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

Currently I'm looking at the Double Matrix piece.. They seem to have the v1 and v2 versions but I have only come across one seller with the v2 version.

v1: Modnote: link to counterfeit glass removed

v2: http://www.dhgate.com/product/advan...ality-glass/218127444.html#s1-1-1a|2663227342



Any help or other recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Well... since we are in this thread I assumed everyone would know I was talking about clones. Thanks for the link though appreciate it!

One of the most popular Mobius knockoffs has been the GB-187. I love mine! Basically an Ion Matrix that is a little taller and thinner. The GB-186 has been popular too (stereo matrix).

Think yingmin may still be the best place to get it. Click here. That's where I got mine. Think they even come with a fake Mobius label unless you request one clean.

There are also a few iterations that are similar with a sidecar mouthpiece.

I hope you do realize that those aren't Mobius pieces, but Chinese counterfeits.

If you want a Mobius, here's a good place to start (not really suitable for the cheap glass thread).

:peace:

Hmmmmmm.... kind of makes all the Chinese prices again look like they are for Chinese knockoffs. :D
