Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Haze Mister

I wasn't going to get another DHGate bubbler but after my experience with asking around and eventually getting a custom- made piece made by a US glass blower, I will likely have to eat that statement... Bubblers made by people who actually vape should be better / have better quality control but I would not try to get a custom piece from "scene" glass blowers again.

The western glass blowers I have interacted with IRL and online generally do not have the patience to deal with people who don't know the limitations of the job (and the particular glass blower's own limits), they have some atittude and see themselves as artists rather than craftsmen, and this is why most of them don't even do custom pieces.

I also encountered a weird negative vibe when i enquired about 14mm bubblers- I imagine they get asked a lot and are tired of the question but I 'm not sure why they seem to be so against the proposition. Apparently a 14mm piece needs a wider base to be stable so it's probably more work that they don't need to do as they sell enough 10mm pieces? I just said to one of them- "There is a growing number of people vaping flower with 14mm bowls so if you make'em you'll sell them!"

If anyone asked me about getting an original (and more expensive) high quality bubbler I'd say just buy one of the already made pieces (and good luck getting it before it is snagged by someone else) and if you want a custom piece, China is the way unless you have a 4 digit budget...

Well like anything else it must really depend on the individual person, along with the specific content and context....? Anyway I've had good luck with a variety of different experience and different people, built quite a collection of US-made glass now did not expect it to catch up with my China made stuff! If you want customized big pieces, I would reach out to fire within glass, seems more than willing to listen to what might be best function for a vape since his designs or not made that way (tried to encourage him to grab a vape himself so he could more properly make one lol but I was happy with the custom I snagged from him that was made for someone else who bailed on it along with another piece he had made himself, even though they are not my most favorite, they do work well with quite a few of my vapes, I really depends on the exact situation and set up ultimately... I do have plenty of 10 mm now too as a result of my US-made collection though hahaha)

Oh damn yeah the language barrier is stuff but I also wonder if the price had to do with that large base and height of the piece? It seems pretty large overall... If you made it smaller with a smaller base or all narrow maybe more like the goo three piece really, it could come out cheaper perhaps??
yeah i got it sorted out in the end with the seller.she said the price i was giving with the product and shipping was a mistake by the other person.
Got it cheaper then i thought.

Looks like they've made it available for purchase. Cool design 👍
They always ask can they list it on their site after making a custom piece for someone.They are pretty cool about making just one off pieces for people.Not sure if they are going remove it once it lands here do are add it to their other store.

Trying to think of something different for a j hook now with the seller.

, I would reach out to fire within glass....
Thanks for that. I'll have a look after I've sold some china glass, lol.

Is there an issue with sticking a 10mm to 14mm adapter on a 10mm piece if it is stable enough to stick a chunky injector on it? :hmm: I guess it could become too much of a precarious glass tower...

No issue at all, since I always use a drop down adapter, I have one that is 14 female to 10 mm male, that is how I use most all of my 10 mm rigs (except for the ones I dab with as I have 10 mm bangers for those) only occasionally using a vape with a 10 mm adapter direct, been a very long time in fact since I've done that since I prefer dropdowns for a variety of reasons... However yes if the piece is small, it can absolutely affect the balance, I never have an injector vape just sitting there though I'm usually holding it because I'm going to remove it to clear my hit soon anyway, with the 10 mm pieces they pretty much all require you to hold them in your hand as well since they are so tiny

I have purchased well-made glass from this seller, but the function video on this piece illustrates several problematic design issues that are apparently not understood by the maker:
Join the club- the revolving door is right here :lol:

To be frank...this piece is blatantly wrong- ask here before buying ! also-- -what is DHGate's website doing in the background??? It continues to freeze up my browser and I can no longer use it.... good fucking riddance!

Of course, more so if the originals are popular, and other people make requests for them, so they can get them cheaper or with modified specs... So yes the copies are to be expected, but I still will shit all over them in this specific case and pass my own personal judgments lol obvious bias nevertheless!



Sorry for the confusion, when we talk of modular pieces, it is often the mouthpiece, you're correct that TAG does not have a downstem, but we often discuss it in comparison with the GooRoo 3piece and 3piece from yhookah (plus FC-Mod and FC-UFO) also other people here have shared that straight fab that was on clearance, even posted about buying it I think even with a video?? I was tempted but held off
no worries ofc, thx for the clarification.
do u (or anybody) mind linking the yhookah 3pc? iirc that's a dhgate shop but i can't seem to find anything. ditto for the FC-Mod... would like to check those 2 out, since i was either gonna get the gooroo HD 3pc, the TAG, or wait for 4/20 and grab one from Sky finally. should prob do the latter, since i've already got way too many rigs and i only started buying again ~1y ago. I've got the FC-ufo, only use it so i can use the (studenglass) whip, but i need sth else i can use that w/, would like at least 1 HQ modular, but i always like to see what dhgate has to offer, and not havin any luck w the search function here or on dhgate, for difft reasons (cant find yhookah as a seller at all for some reason?).

oh, and since it doesn't look like that Gilli fab is on DHGate anymore, if anybody wants the one I bought a while back i'll sell it to ya for a v fair price, i barely used it bc the mouthpiece is just too big for me, and like i mentioned, i've got waay too many rigs pilin up. can list it on the classifieds i guess, haven't sold a rig before but i ship fragile electronics all the time, and I'll send a link to my 20y, 100% positive feedback ebay account since i'm new here. but i won't digress, just thought i'd mention since i thought it was recently rec'd here (iirc by you, shit snacks? i know u got yours around when i ordered mine) and if the mp wasn't too wide for me i'd love it too.

Among all of those I would still pick the goo three piece over the ones from DHgate honestly... TAG piece is better too, and I really don't like the look of the sky pieces for vaping at all personally... I'm not sure how you were searching for a seller, but that's not easy to do, they also have a different storefront, if you search FC for that name you would find the link more easily though... It was shared here many times and I don't feel like looking it up to post it again sorry (FC mod is no longer available from popular glass they may make a modified version eventually but you'll have to buy it from another seller, didn't really like mine sold it)

Yes make a post in the classifieds, you are not allowed to sell here.. I didn't see that the Gili was no longer available suddenly, I had looked recently, maybe it will come back in stock? I was going to list mine for sale as well along with more things that I'm still trying to move and other new things ...

The TAG fab klein has arrived... oh yeah!
(Sorry about the yellow colour, it's coming from nearby furniture. )

It's a "second quality" piece and has some visual imperfections- the swiss holes are not symmetrical and identical, etc.... but works really well and has the sweet colours. The pink accents at the perc are a nice bonus I hadn't noticed when ordering!

The airflow is wide open and the piece delivers the clouds and the flavours without the heat... the beveled adges of the mouthpiece feel great on the lips. The bubbler is seriously solid and totally wins over DHGate versions for quality, function and value for money at $150. :rockon:

It does need a drop-down for using with anything bigger than a Dynavap or you'll have the vape in your face..

Thanks for the heads-up on these! This is definitely and honestly the last bubbler until I sell some bubblers! :wave:

I received 2 bubblers for TAG,

8" Super Slit Puck Klein Incycler and
F14q-RC-902T-0185C-LE.02.1_1_600x.jpg

9" Showerhead Donut 75x5MM (For Vaporizers) w/ Neck, Keck Clip, Hose Adapter, Silicone Hose, & Mouth Piece
F188-WPv-154-6008C.02_7_89541298-a3a7-4f6e-b313-42f0daea0a1b_600x.jpg


Both second quality at $232 after the discount. Shipping to the other side of the world was $86 and it took 21 days including physical customs inspection which took like a week and got charged another 50. Not bad for the total amount and the volume of the package, as from what I understand it the weight and volume of the package are considered in the customs officer decision.

As for the usability the 8" incycler, although very good-looking and very portable size and being my 1st incycler/recycler is so small that I don't see what happens with the vapor, when using it with my desktop, the coach log. I also have to hold it sideways otherwise the CL's heater is touching my nose and pushing me back. I am in need of a drop-down adapter (14mm male to female) for better usability with the CL at least. Please recommend from EU if possible, otherwise a good one from U.S.
As it is the same one, 2nd quality, that @Abele Rizieri Ferrari mentions in the previous page, I don't even know if it has the same problem, as I can use it only with small size portables, like anvil ATM

The other one, 9"Showerhead Donut, recommended by @Shit Snacks a month ago, is really my type, lol, I can't believe with all these attachments it costs the same with the incycler, but it is my first couple of days with both. So nice to vape through this Showerhead Donut, it is my favorite bubbler now.

I've been looking and found nothing good in the EU. The best I have seen is from Cloud Connoisseur (US) but they need to fix the shipping to EU because it was more than the drop-down itself when I tried 2 weeks ago. :\ I also have not found any good ones from China either.

The one I got from China is too big (too much air volume) and I find myself using it less and less.

I think I may try it at that price.
Just trying to determine if my below-average lung capacity will be happy with it. The fab section removes some of the volume compared to the TAG donut piece. So it may work well for me.

E: Measurements from reddit: "body diameter are 70mm,body tall are 20cm,total tall with mouthpiece about 29-30cm tall.12cm base."

Yeah I wouldn't worry about it, you can load more water relative how much volume and resistance desired, yes the egg leaves less volume that will be easier to fill and clear
