Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Their pieces are comparable to some of the more low quality dh pieces. CCG, Stevenmlz, and mlglass all make better looking and functioning glass and most of it is cheaper.
Their TAG line is actually higher quality than what is found on dhgate(including CCG, Steven, and mlglass)

They also use Schott boro glass so it should be stronger. But the quality is good and they also have US customer service as was mentioned above. I'm sure some members remember hemping glass when he was on dhgate, aka TAG's supplier in China.

That being said, I switched to purchasing my glass from dhgate because the prices are a lot lower but if you'd rather not take a gamble on quality they are the best for china glass imo

I have to disagree. Almost every recycler they make is a worse version of one from steven. Not only that their oil rigs have the exact same designs as stevens(who is known for his flower pieces not oil), and with ccg or ml you're never taking a risk with quality. I can't exactly say the same for steven. I have 3 pieces from them that are literally flawless. ML blows his glass by hand with american rods so his pieces are literally the best out of china. CCG is the ONLY (and you can quote me on that) company that can make sol percs. CCG will also replace glass if there ever is a problem.

Thanks, @pghjd, I got a dodgy FC-rattle can from Steven, sent pictures with arrows showing the perc being way too high but they could not understand the problem...he would only give me a partial refund so I had to buy another...that was right but still far from perfect.
I will stick with Yinmin5 and CCG (until I break another rattle can!):tup:
Now, I need an 18mm female joint recycler. easier said than done.:haw:

I believe the raw glass material, most likely american boro, is superior in strength to china glass, even china boro. I also like MLglass's quality but I did have an airhole in a recycler. And I do like CCG's quality and their percs but TAG pieces just seem a bit more sturdy/durable. As for steven's pieces being similar designs...they're all mothership knockoffs so they're gona look alike.

I'm not saying I'd rush to pay more for a similar piece but I do still believe they are better quality in glass durability. But the differences are small enough that it is hard to tell unless comparing them in person. Are they worth the price? I would rather buy 2 or 3 CCG pieces with the FOL/SOL perc so I guess that answers that.

So to stay on topic I would recommend CCG, Steven, or Mlglass to someone who is looking for a cheap glass bubbler since TAG's glass is more expensive, but less hassle and better glass.
p.s. Thickassglass was originally called Thickqualityglass

TAG is not made with american materials. It's marked up chinese glass made in a factory. They've never said it american borosilicate they just say "high quality".

This is my favorite travel rig - in fact, I like it so much I sometimes use it at home...

I VASed for a Bubbler XL for a really long time. When I purchased Herborizer digiti I got their non XL Bubbler. I didn't like it as much as I liked the XL. It is really is perfect. It has a big base with the perfect weight. Having a separate mouthpiece from the body is the right decision since it's so long.
I like it so much I'd love to complete the entire set, but I've heard mixed results, especially for Sphere XL being too big.
It may be not the best mate for your vape but it really shines with desktop/hard hitters vapes like Supreme, Evo or Herborizer. Or Tubo.
I realized as well, that most portables work better as they are, no glass. Whitewall chasing imho leads to high temperatures and fast battery degrading.

They don’t list it anymore that I can see but the items used to show the type of glass used when you pick the options so I would have to confirm what glass is used now. I can confirm that their adapters are much higher quality than average dhgate glass sellers and have withstood a lot of abuse plus they are thicker. If they don’t use American clear glass anymore than perhaps the strength wouldn’t be as good. I still believe on average they are thicker and better quality control than dhgate and therefore I would say they are still better quality but like I mentioned before I would rather take my chances from CCG for a fraction of the price. CCG has the sent me good quality products but I do find the occasional flaw(s), for example a very small crack, in them and they would probably be equivalent to a “2nd quality” from TAG. However the thickness and quality of CCG’s mothership line is worth the price

Hey, does anyone have any good suggestions for a DH piece that will function well with a Vong?

I currently use a small beaker bong with my Vapcap M, but the very high drag makes the draw like drinking a milkshake through a tiny straw. I expect the draw to be easier with my Vong, but I would still like a different piece.

I'm open to anything of small-medium size.

Of course I can find some stuff on my own--just wondering if anyone had words of wisdom.

IMO Matrix percs are restrictive compared to others I have, you could always get the following and decide for yourself, it is so easy to clean(dishwasher for me)

I like the Matrix perc for my Plenty as it helps to restrict it a bit and use the Headshow?(showerhead perc) for most of my other vapes. There are a lot of other people selling the same item as the one I posted
for a bit cheaper if you look.
That being said, my FC-Rattle can is my favorite atm (even though it is harder to clean, just).
