Yea, I am def. going to buy that. I just saw some YouTube vids of the bubbler in action, and an interview with Luke Wilson. I really like this piece, and it only slightly more than than $50- $100 budget I promised to stick to, hehe.
I think I'll have to order it tomorrow morning. I can't wait until the sale. I am hoping that I might actually have it by next weekend

You may want to consider waiting for the ALT Black Friday Sale next week. Of course there's no assurance they'll be in stock then. ALT always sells out on its popular items sooner or later.Tstat said:Yea, I am def. going to buy that. I just saw some YouTube vids of the bubbler in action, and an interview with Luke Wilson.

Yea, I saw that they are having 10% off. If it was 20% I might wait, but for $22 more, I'd rather get it sooner. I also thing there will be a bunch of people buying during the sale. It could sell out, or it could take a long time to get it. I know you said that it only took a couple of days to get your new piece- are you on the east coast?
BTW, the guy from chicokush finally emailed me to say that their online merchant account is not working. Oh well, I have moved on!

Very very nice set-up Pappy. Love the lightning fast clear, looks enjoyable to say the least 
Obviously taste has everything to do with the product, but how does that Queenline preserve taste? Either way with a nice milky vapor hit its like a big taste cannon either way, just wondering if you get a different taste from that than you do from your beaker?
Man that thing just purrs, too many pieces of glass calling our names at once it seems. That's a super-fairly priced piece IMO, hopefully I'll be ordering something of that caliber this winter

!!!!! Taste is much fuller with SG. As you know Ray's 11 slit showerhead diffy is becoming a thing of legend. I believe he models the beaker on Roor. Mine is essentially a sawed off 20" inch. It chugs like an 18 wheeler when I suck in the 50mm bore. The SG purrs like a 24 valve Maserati! Sometimes when I'm sucking the SSFG I feel like it's going to take off -- me with it! That diffy is marvelous!Re: Taste -- the beaker has so much water and air capacity and the diffy is so efficient that some taste is lost. Proviso: This may be due to the copious amounts of ice I've used in the beaker. I tried ice in the SG but don't feel it's necessary. More experimentation due. I consider the SG a hybrid between a tube and bubbler. I can't wait to see what Glasstafarian dreams up for me! I think his bubblers are up there with Luke Wilson's, maybe even better!
And his 20 slit showerhead diffy is interchangeable with Ray's.

Coincidently I've been looking at that SG Stemline for a few weeks Pappy and it's very tempting. http://forum.grasscity.com/toking-tools/678079-glassmans-doll-mini-inline-oiler-5.html#post8751448
I'm on the wait list for the Glassmansdoll mini inline which is like a small version of the stemline. I was curious how these both compare to the SSFG tubes we have in terms of the hit and taste. Thanks for the comparison to your 12". Might get this for Christmas gift from my girl if I can make up my mind soon.

^^^I've been researching and reading up on different tubes in the $300 range and I had a lot of questions like the ones you were asking a few pages back about diffusion. The Stemline is still in the running but not sure if I want a piece that big and that diffused as my daily. It looks like it would be insanely smooth for combusting. Still trying to decide.
I notice how much taste is severely lost with my 20" double diffused perc tube VS the SSFG mini beaker with 11 slit diffy. I think you should give the mini a second try Pappy. NYCDeisel recently posted a similar experience with his SSFG mini vs a 12" Stemline and prefers the taste of the mini. The smaller bore, much less water and air all sound like improvements over your description of the action in the 12". Give it another go and compare all 3 if you can. Could be interesting.
Been looking at these too:
Made for vaping oil and concentrates = made for vaping anything. Perfect for vapor-bonging and I've been making qwiso now so it's even more perfect for ME. I can't find it priced any where but it's designed from the pillars in the SG Peyote and those are about $700 out of my price range for something like this.
OC513, any idea what these might be going for? If it's in my price range I'd go to the shop this week and get one if possible since my mother lives in West Babylon and Thanksgiving gives me another reason to visit NY if I want.

Sold the mini beaker but used it enough to make an educated comparison. I found the mini constricting compared to the 12" which probably has 3x the capacity. I prefer the 12", no contest! If you like the mini beaker you'll most likely LOVE the Bent Neck. It has a 32mm upper bore, same as the SSFG mini I believe. And don't worry about diffused taste. The Stemline is all about taste retention!Shiz said:

All this talk about Itza lately made me consider buying a piece since people were talking about how Itza glass welds are cleaner than Toro, and on par most others. I recently saw a group of tubes with several varieties and I can say that they look 2nd class compared to Toro or Sovereignty. Check the joint for ripples amd bubbles/
This Itza just came out and they are already up there near the price of more established brands that have a great reputation and fair resale value. I am not knocking anyone that owns one because I am sure some are very clean, but for future buyers check some of the others brands for comparison. With there prices you can find a guy on Etsy to do the same tube for about half?

I haven't seen anything on Etsy that's on the same level as Itza TBH.

Shiz....if I remember correctly they were $225 direct from him. He also makes mini pillars that are a bit bigger (and more expensive) but also small bore tubes.....they are beautiful..........

Call 516-242-8871 and ask for Steve......you can work it out before you take the trip. Tell him Chris sent ya.....I have sent him about 6 people in the last few weeks and he has hooked them up.
There is also a MINI SG Stemline bent neck......its about 13 inches tall and beautiful.........

stink.....I can tell you that my joints have zero ripples or bubbles.....completely smooth. You may have seen some of his older work.......his newer stuff is very clean. Hes been around for about 2 years now since leaving Toro. Also the prices for itza in a headshop and his direct pricing are completely different.....like night & day. My piece was about 40% less than what it was priced in headshops. A few friends have Toros and they are nice pieces but completely over priced compared to buying from itza direct. The itza online store should be up soon so people not from NY can buy direct from him. I have never owned nor hit a Sovereignty or a SGW but I have used many of the other "top" names such as Toro, Roor, Sheldon Black and I can say the itza is as nice if not nicer than those and considerably less expensive if you buy direct.stinkmeaner said:

Hope you didn't take offense to my statement? I don't mean to suggest that Etsy doesn't have great blowers or even that it doesn't have Itza caliber blowers, simply I don't feel I've seen them. Admittedly, I haven't done all that much research. The one piece of glass I've gotten from Etsy was exactly what I was after and I was completely happy with my order.
Nonetheless, I wouldn't mind a nice list of blowers on Etsy; while I'm not currently shopping it might prove useful in the future, and, as per usual, I'm sure others will benefit as well. Thanks.

We have an Etsy thread but I'm afraid it's been buried by this one of late.

These are the artists I keep my eye on (which isn't an endorsement). I'm confident endorsing SSFG (on vacation) and Glasstafarian (backed up for months -- get in line)

Wow, I just spoke to Steve to set something up for this week and he was more than accommodating about me coming to the studio but the prices were a little out of $300 range I'm trying to stay in.
The Mini Stemless Stack Perc is around $400

The Mini Pillar is around $600

I just used Etsy as an example not a standard.
My main point it that this Itza guy just left Toro and thinks he can sell a tube for almost the same price as top blowers right off the bat with no reputation, its like 'you build it, they will come' ...I guess that expression is right. $600 for a MINI Pillar, hell Sovereignty sold their full size pillars in the shops for less than $800, give me a break here.
The pillar is not that hard to make for a Scientific blower, have you seen what Sci blowers can do? Everyone loves the Pillar and I am not doubting its functionality, but it shouldn't be that much more than a regular tree perc.
Just look at the pictures in the Itza website, compare a group of the same tubes and you will see the welds and the general joint areas are all different and un-uniform. The sad part is that everyone thinks they are such a good deal because you save 50 bucks when in reality they would be better off buying a SG, Toro, or SGW simply because you can sell them for almost what you paid and you they seem to be more uniform, especially SG.
Check out DWB glass on Etsy. Look at the past work or ask for more pictures and you will see that his tubes are some of the nicest on Etsy.
