My god, my D020D got here quick! Took just over a week to get here. Bubble-wrapped bombproof and showed up with no cracks.
Looks perfect for me. Great size, thick glass. Just need a few more days now for my UD to show up. Thanks again for suggesting it, looks like a home run!
I'd love to snag one but the picture he shows on eBay has the mouth tube lower than yours. I'd say yours was a definite win. I like my mouthpeice higher like yours.A few people were looking for small 14mm female bubblers for cheap a while back so I went on the hunt. I found a little American made glass company, Kraze, selling little bubblers on ebay for $40. I offered him $20 and his listing was set to accept anything $20 or over. I had ebay bucks to spend so I went ahead and bought it.
It took about a week to come in. It isn't the thickest glass but it is pretty well made for the money and the little showerhead perk is really nice! The downstem is signed which is also a nice touch that you won't find on a $20 Chinese bubb.
I first used it for a few dabs. Really nice and smooth. Full flavor from the ultra low water required. Not bad at all for a piece no bigger than a Purr travel bubbler. Then I used it for flower and was really surprised at the pretty well cooled vapor despite it's tiny can size. Hell for free ebay bucks or $20 either way you can't really go wrong. If you are looking for a new 14mm female hand held bubbler for $20 check out http://www.ebay.com/itm/162028363693?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
He lists them every few days and his last few just sold out (to my FC friends no doubt lol), I really would have been happy with anything so this is awesome lol.

Hey guys. I picked up a fab beaker from Kathy as my first china purchase about two months ago and I've been enjoying it for the price, but it seemed thin so I didn't expect a long life.
I've never had a rig like this but I'm pretty sure it's on deaths door step. Figured I'd check here to see if what is happening is a normal thing. I've got some weird thin lines forming that look like pre-cracks? Zero evidence of damage I can see in the glass it self, but these lines are certainly disconcerting haha

Pre-cracks are a good word for that, yeah. I definitely would stop shaking the bong at all to clean it like most of us do with rubbing alcohol and salt because you want to avoid putting stress on that joint as best as you can. Definitely stop torching nails on it if you were doing that, number one way to kill a female joint. And just be careful, maybe a thin band of duct tape on the outside would add some strength to it but someone smarter than me can explain why that wouldn't really do anything.Hey guys.

^Thanks YL, I had a feeling it was done. I'm going to carefully alcohol clean it one last time to collect the goods and retire it as an emergency back up. I haven't been torching on it for the last couple weeks, my friend let me borrow his dnail and I'm thinking that I probably should have got a drop down first. Even when I was torching I had an extra male/male joint as a buffer to be safe (left it on for the dnail too).
Next round I think I'll just go with the tried and true fab egg

I personally like a drop down on just about any type of rig I've ever used. It can be a bit annoying to get used to at first, but the benefits of having the nail on a piece of glass that isn't your rig is just such a huge benefit that it outweighs the negatives, which are few. I don't dab anymore, but when I did I really liked my straight fab from steven. A little pricy but VERY thick and sturdy glass, and very good function and flavor. The joint on it is also fairly high meaning a drop down would work well. The fab eggs are cool but not my preferred draw for the most part, I like a faster rip.

I dont think that was a good result. He received a faulty product and now needs to buy a second possibly faulty product to get a replacement for the first. No that would not sit well with me.

Just got my rattle can and the matrix barrel recycler from stevenmlz...very happy with both pieces, shipping (that is when he finally shipped) was very fast.
For those of you still awaiting a rattle can or diffusion pump model, remind yourself of the glass ball...I almost thaught shit another broken piece of glass being delivered....

I haven't used much glass over the last 30 years. there are so many different types to choose from, where can I educate myself before making a purchase ?
to be used with a Grasshopper and Vapman, possibly Aromed and Herbalaire.
Thx

Anybody know a store with a D020W in stock?
Any opinions on how it compares to GB-187-s?
Want to get the most durable sidecar can type bubbler so suggestions welcome.

I had a D020-W for a while. It was nice, except the mouthpiece made it a pain to clean.
The D020-W had a more simple matrix perc than the GB-187-S (some called it a 'tire perc' instead of a true matrix perc) - in either case the diffusion of the D020-W was slightly less than the GB-187-S.
Overall I feel like the build quality and diffusion is better on the GB-187-S over the D020-W, although they are both nice pieces. I still suggest going for the GB-187-S. I've had one for over a year now and love it

Would this nectar collector also function as a hydratube for the VapeXhale Cloud EVO? It features a joint like the recylcer made by sunshinestore. How well do nectar collectors prevent water from falling down the female joint?

Looks like it would work to me. It doesn't have the usual style bottom but it works just the same. Water will not come out the bottom unless it is over filled.

Ive been testing out my new CCG incycler rig for 2 weeks now & thoroughly enjoying every minute. I love the design and it's built solid (no thin spots). My only bitch is that the incycler function isn't as pronounced as in the video but still works better than other incyclers I've bought from other vendors. I've also been using adapters on my rigs in order to protect the joint connections. I've seen some posts where stress cracks were spotted and I figuered it's easier to replace a $9 adapter as opposed to a $50 glass rig. Also I contacted CCG and requested no label on the bottom side and they were happy to comply. Overall another quality rig from CCG and can't wait to see their next designs.
I DO have the FC-Mouthpiece! I ordered the Cloud Evo Last week and have it standing by waiting. Can't wait to try the Evo out with it!
The perc is the same showerhead design just a bit smaller.
I remember some people saying that the joint was too deep to seal on the Evo with some of the 18mm nectar collectors, that might have been the reason Sunshinestore re-released the "Hydratube" labeled version?
I would go with the Sunshinestore version since I know you want it for the Evo, But that one actually looks like it might work.

FWIW, the guys recommended me a D020D. More details a couple pages back. I'm really happy with it.
