Guys, I've been looking at 8-12in Bubblers over the last few days and on a limited budget. I want something 8+ arms or honeycomb and found some solid options for around $150. Then I notices someone in the Lev glass thread, using the ash catcher with a J-hook. What kinda limitation would there be to this option? Seems like a decent option and would save me over $50. The only down side I see is the J-hook is not reinforced, though if damaged could easily be replaced. Let me know what your guys think. Squeeky
I'm using a small showerhead ashcatcher with j-hook as my daily right now. It's smaller in volume, so you've gotta pull for a little while to get a bigger hit, but other than that it's not a bad option for a budget. The only real bitch I have is the water level is really sensitive, an 8th inch can make a decent difference. Once you find your sweet spot it's all good. If I were to choose the 'better' of the two I'd go with a nice bubbler, but it's cheaper to come up with something like this.
try looking into the glassblowersdirect thread, they have very affordable bublers... i should be getting mine by the end of the week
I've really been considering this one: http://www.ioffer.com/buy/12-12-arm-bubbler-uber-joint-75mm-water-pipe-528795658-2q1wr2ewhe-ic3n0mhg It helps that the blower is an FC member and would love to support him. Just throwing out ideas, hope to end T-break in a few weeks and it's been 6 months. I want to celebrate with some new glass.
For $15 more I like the dewar version. Wasn't sure until I watched the videos, looks like a nice hitting piece.
ill make you one Nice pickup! ive had the pleasure of hitting that piece. its an amazing ode to hitman's sidecar design
*Realize this thread has gone off topic, but it seems the ashcatcher/Jhook is NOT an ideal solution* Now it's just being used to help me figure out what to buy. Xchadb, I know your a fan of Colie, and it was because of yourself I started looking their as well. I'm now faced with some options. jhanpixel vs Colie So far these are the pros that stand out when comparing the two pieces. Please keep in mind this will be my first scientific glass purchase. Pros Both are members of the forum! jhanpixel, no side arm (worried about support on Colie) - I have animals and a wife so things get knocked over sometimes jhanpixel, 12 arms oppose to 8, but it also looks like Colie is 2 slits per arm where jhanpixel is 3 Colie, 7mm thick where jhanpixel is 5mm Colie, has both showerhead and arms Colie, I believe I like the mouthpiece better Colie, I do not own a bowl, although I will mostly be using with vapes having the combustion option ready is always nice Colie, A little cheaper consider and the added bowl piece Throw some opinions out there everyone, I know I will not regret either options but a second opinion is always nice. Squeeky
- for a budget bubb i think that china honeycomb ashcatcher plus a j hook is the best bang for your buck.
Wow that is some honesty there JHANPIXEL, which says a lot. It's been way too long of a break and I want to celebrate with some nice scientific glass and I'd prefer to support an artist over a factory. We will see I'm just indecisive, but I'd like to give you props on your customer service! Responded quickly to iOffer question and I appreciate your honesty above.
haha thanks if i said otherwise i think i'd get called out on it pretty quick. as for supporting artists over factory i would go w/ colie or apix as they are smaller shops and have a more personal touch to their pcs rather than the mass prodo that we try to produce here
I'm new to glass however paired with a vaporizer is a big game changer. I tell my joint smoking friends about vaping with a water path and they start drooling. It just the beginning of a new trend! Buy both and compare. Either one will work with the right adapters! What is the link to the one on the right?
