Customized vape setups

Congrats on the new addition to your family!

Those are three really nice pieces you picked out and you wont be unhappy with any choice. But for me, I am feeling the Headford inlines myself. It reminds me of my Hops Jagito which is EASILY my favorite low volume water tool.

Thanks monkey.....I think I read you just had a baby as well. Congrats to you and your family too. It is awesome isnt it.
You are THE person I was hoping would answer as you have so much experience with different diffusion types. I am feeling that Headford as well......very cool design and I hear inlines rip. I think I am going to order today. Thanks for the input.

The SSFG hits different from all of them. It almost pulls identical to a SG stemline. Which is good, because I regret selling mine. There is no chug and the bubbles look like seafoam. It is so fun to use. The hits are extremely tasty with the insane fizzing characteristic of SSFG slits. All for an awesome price. Gotta love Ray.

Beautiful setup, DP! I second that, SSFG is a great resource.

I am trying to decide between 3 bubblers right now.....

a Headford Glass inline w/ triple donut
http://www.aqualabtechnologies.com/scientific-glass/headford-glass.html

a B. Wilson 6 arm
http://aqualabtechnologies.com/b-wilson-clear-6-arm-bubbler.html

and a Glasstafarian with showerhead diffy
http://www.etsy.com/listing/5570800...earch_type=handmade&ga_page=2&order=&includes[0]=tags&includes[1]=title&filter[0]=handmade


any thoughts? I am really torn between them......just had a baby and can not justify buying all three or I would just to try all 3 different diffy's. HELP!

I pondered all and chose Glasstafarian. But I haven't ruled out buying others. The Headford donut is more interesting to me than the Wilson.

Thanks Pappy. I was really considering Glasstafarian but the wait is now a month minimum and I am hearing really good things about the Headford inline......monkey's endorsement really pushed me in that direction......as soon as I have a minute I think I am ordering the Headford.

I'm in that cue. But one day a box will arrive that puts a smile on my face. Don't think you can go wrong with the Headford. Let us know what you think.

you have more patience than I do......but you will be happy whne that box arrives I am sure. I will post up a quick review once I get the Headford.

Definitely a great set-up Professor, Toro must be added to my arsenal soon


Haven't heard too much about HiSi but can remember checking out vids and pics a while ago, definitely seems like a slept on design. Would be cool to see a Hydratube version for sure.



Headford looks like a very solid piece

 

[stonemonkey55]

I'm still waiting for my Vertigo custom build a bub/bub the builder modular bubbler.........since January... wow!!! LOL - I guess I am a patient guy but this is one I definitely want to have in my possession.

and yes, fatherhood/parenthood is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!! - Downside is that the wife is only allowing me to have 5 pieces of glass in my possession at one time. 4 slots are already taken with pieces that I don't think I will ever get rid of so there is only one spot open for rotation.

The piece that is getting me excited these days are BC 2010 pieces, his work is just SO CLEAN

modular bubbler

i was thinking about this the other day

how modular pieces could be made so you can change out specific parts of a piece if and whenever you want

i suppose you would want to use keck clips at each joint though...

Someone gotta wear the pants in the family.

daaaaaayuuuummmmmmm!

but for real its ALWAYS the wife

 

[OC513]

monkey I completely understand.......when I started to vape I didnt use glass........so when baby was coming my wife was like if you're not using it just get rid of it. So I sold all my tubes, like 6 of them, not thinking I would ever need them again. Now with all this talk of glass I want to vape thru some glass. The Headford will hold me over til a lil thing called the VapeXHale comes out!

Love 2010bc stuff, it was a toss up between the lowrider: http://aqualabtechnologies.com/scie...ss/2010bc-clear-low-rider-2010bc-label-1.html or SG stemline, went SG but hopefully someday I'll grab something by 2010, once my wife stops giving me the stink eye about all my recent glass purchases.

I would think with your special relationship with Vertigo, you know with the Hydratube design and all... That you would have that order quicker. I guess there is no playing favorites in the glass game.

How long does it take to build a set like that for a glass blower?

 

[hereatlast]

I'm still waiting on a piece from Vertigo as well (he fell off the map for a while), apparently he had some personal issues but I'm not informed enough to speak on that and don't wanna slander.

I'm really looking forward to my bubbler though

 

[DaProfessor]

Very nice gear you got Professor , noticed you have a Migrant triple disc in your sig, just wondering what your impressions are of that tube? Been thinking of
picking one up some time in the new year...

It's a great version of a classic. At $250 new, its a great deal. At the right water level there is little chug, but you can chug it by putting more water. The diffusion feels good. It's also a good tube to use with an AC because of the minimal drag.

Nice glass btw. How is the vertigo mini? I've been wanting one since I saw them. Where'd you pick it up?

I wanted to get your feedback on the U-Perc. I have one of the HiSi's as well and I feel like it is a design that is often overlooked. Great diffusion, very little splash -- could be a HydraTube candidate in the future...

Sorry, haven't had time to keep up with all the posts in that thread. I love the u-perc design. Its a varient of a showercap that works well and probably cheaper to produce. It pulls extremely smooth and has exceptional flow. I agree, it is overlooked and would make a great hydratube.

In my opinion, it actually doesn't filter much. I judge filtration by the reduction and "cleaning" of the initial flavor. The hisi lets me taste everything, good and bad. You can call it a tasters tube ;-)

Excellent, thanks for the input! Love Migrant's glass! What would you say is the best water level if you are looking for keeping the chug to a minimum? Just below the first disc? Really diggin' the Vertigo, gives exceptionally smooth hits and clears really quick...Grabbed it from AquaLab, was gonna get the triple disc but it was sold out at the time.

Vertigo is an artist in the truest sense. He doesn't do things based on the almighty dollar and business partner or not, I wait in line just like everyone else. His work is exceptional and bring a lot of art into the functionality of his pieces. For some people, they can't deal with a blower like this but I knew what I was getting into before I ordered the piece so I am just patiently waiting. Not sure how man hours it takes to build something like this but I know he has only made a handful because they are hard on his body to make, something to do with the angle and the position he needs to be in to make certain welds..

Thanks for getting back to me, it really is an inverted showerhead type design and one I think may gain more traction as people start getting more visibility into this type of design. I love glass!!!

 

[DaProfessor]

What would you say is the best water level if you are looking for keeping the chug to a minimum?

I like half way to just below the second disc. Depends what I'm feeling.

 

[VaporNation]

The only 2 I use any more are my DBV and Noble Vapor.

Very nice setup. I love the wand you have for your DBV. How do you like that Noble Vapor? I have never used one of those before...

 

[VaporNation]

SoulshineFamilyGlass 12" and travel beakers with shower-head diffys

That looks awesome! I have never tried hooking up an Extreme Q Vaporizer to a bong...but it looks amazing. Does it work pretty well? Im sure it does..lol.

OK so I was in the mood for glass porn today and the web wasnt doing it so I went to some local headshops.......found some insanity out there.....of course at headshop prices in NY I wasnt buying....lol. They had tubes in there for up to $2800......so insane. I guess I have been away from the glass game for way too long. So anyway I found out about a company called itza, they are out of Long Island, NY. They had some very amazing looking pieces.......some awesome mini tubes. They looked very high quality.....clean welds, thick glass, beautiful lines. Anyone have any experience with them? I may go with a mini tube now instead of a bubbler. Pic below.

Thanks Prof! Seen a few youtube vids and the water levels were at the first disc and some at the third.
