Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Bologna

(zombie) Woof.
does anyone have recommendations that are not on dhgate?
For what exactly...? Just to peruse? Do you want American made or resold foreign products?

This is a DHGate store website that has US stock for fast shipping:

This was a DHGate storefront that's now a website with US stock:

Here's another:

Here's a couple that sells both US and foreign glass:

There's plenty of US made only stores online, mostly on IG, but some have websites too like:

There are tons, you really need to narrow down what it is you're looking for first, to get specific recommendations.

Edit: I've purchased from all these sites w/o issue, except Texas Hot Glass, but they are highly recommended here... good luck!

My daughter and I have been looking for an inexpensive travel solution... these Polar Blast tumblers look like they could be cool for the $. Anyone use one or check one out? Thoughts...?:
The "Incognito" has a grinder built into the bottom and is $48 w/40% off code "BLAST". I might grab a couple, not sure which model... looks like you gotta go to the official website to get a quartz mouthpiece tho:

So yeah, this just happened :uhoh::



And no, this isn't the beginnings of a major GAS attack, so don't even bother going there...:disgust:

So, I emailed inquiring about products (they do offer the quartz mouthpieces, btw) and the owner, Ayad, whom I had a great sales experience with 2 years ago when I purchased a 40% off HydroMaxx etc, replied, but said he was really under the weather and we agreed to put the sale off until the next day... it took a bit of back and forth and another day, but I ended up getting EVERYTHING for 40% off, even items that weren't on sale! All free shipping, too! He said he gave it to me cuz I was so nice and understanding... and here you all think I'm just some lunatic asshole... :rofl:tbf, "lunatic" may be hard to argue, but the other one? Not true.

My daughter is getting the larger order as a surprise... BOOYA!

Oh, I know you are a lunatic, because it takes one to know one! :freak: we are all mad here

still considering getting this base for it though so I can basically have the option to switch between using the tubes alone and on the base, modular pieces...

They used to have this^ design and I had been watching it then it went away and now it's back so I might grab it for under $24 even though I should be done damn it lol

Well I ended up ordering it, Even though it actually may have been a little cheaper soon after, still a good price and the quality is solid... The top is 18.8 male but the female connection is actually only 14 after all, not a big deal at all, much better than the reverse those VXL bases had had lol the slitted circ perc is a little too big maybe for the piece, but fine and should be a good base form factor with my evolver hydrotubes...

I also got these drop down adapters, which I had them make earlier based on a different design they had, twisting the female out to the side, they drop down very deep with strong right angles... I requested one 14-18 and one 18-14 instead of two 14-14s so hopefully they update the listing soon for that option, but it was easy to put in the notes when I ordered and confirm with them through chat... Glass for the tubes is a little thin and the 18 female joint isn't the nicest, one of the connections also uneven with some glass drip poking out, but certainly fine for the price! They may not fit every piece, but they fit many of mine perfectly, making them really compact sidecar style :tup:

prob doesn't help I started the second sentence with a but, seems like a continuation even though I put a space gap. would have read better if I said, that tumbler does look great. can't say I ever make much sense but the edibles don't improve my writing either :lmao:

Hey all! update here sorry, I stumbled upon this forum late at night and scouted through some of the posts and got lots of good stuff. I saw that 6" inline and it definitely sparked my interest. This is my first piece, I was looking for something to mount my Arizer MAX on top of and potentially attaching a whip would be a nice benefit too. The faster shipping time on eBay was my main reason for the initial post but I ended up settling for this. Seemed like there was some talk surrounding that one as I believe it is to be a clone of some Grav model. Let me know if that was a good purchase! I suppose the only downside would be that it does not seem like I would be able to mount a whip on the mouthpiece as I wanted, but I was planning to use it on my desktop anyway.

I am contemplating cutting the pinched mouthpiece off the end of mine as it seems to be the reason for it being pretty restrictive...it is also easily tipped over.
Will this work for vaping dry herb cannabis?
That is a great price for a decent piece (both of mine are 18mm). It will diffuse a lot so will be smooth but you can lose a bit of flavour.

@ChronPain86 sidecar was my first “cheap bubbler” minus the catcher years ago and I still use it now. Wide open, not much restriction if you’re into that. Small, easy to clean, can’t go wrong. Accidentally used without water recently and was pleasantly surprised.
its a nice prec for dry hits, with water its to much diffusion for me but I like my old stereo matrix for dabbing but only dry.

I wonder if there is a DIY video on that! I would totally follow along and do the same.

Would there be a way to somehow stretch the whip around the mouthpiece or tape it into place or something.

Shame about the tipping, the thing seems so big and sturdy, I hope I don't go dropping the thing.

plenty of glass cutting vids on tube. happened to catch this one recently, prob more detailed ones of course.

its a nice looking grav clone but the non removable down stem isn't a feature I like

Love the cat casually chilling in the vid.

I'm thinking with a glass cutter it might be harder to hold the mouthpiece into place while rotating and keeping a straight cut. Seems like the string method might be best for this kind of work but IDK cause I never worked with glass. I'm also worried since it would be my first time messing with glass, I'd have to be sure the glass is properly cleaned after to prevent inhaling anything bad.

I would not suggest trying to cut it, tricky with a lot of glass, even though it is thick... Zero issue of getting a whip over the mouthpiece, just need the right size... However it does restrict the flow, it's a solid piece, I think the balance is actually pretty great personally, very hefty, most people do really like it... I used mine a little while ago and liked it enough to not get rid of it (yet) I also despise the matrix percs and most flared mouthpieces... That little swiss inline is nice and solid for something like Arizer, though it is quite tiny... So many options!

that cat cracks me up lol and the name of the channel is that little puff so kinda fits in with the vaping FC thing ;)

for that bong and for how thick the glass is I think you be better off using a cutting disk, something that attaches to a Dremel device or one for a drill. its not as easy to cut that mouth piece as the cat cut the wine bottle. and there is a risk of breaking the bong. if you like the piece grab one, only if you aren't happy with it consider modifying then, and I'd practice cutting a few beer or wine bottle necks first, that cut is more like the mouth piece than the body of the bottle. and after any cutting you would want to sand with sand paper to smooth out any sharp edges, cleaning is easy rinse multiple times, can't rinse too much only not enough 👍

Yeah after doing some more research I'm leaving it alone. I've decided that I'll just purchase another bubbler if I find this doesn't suit my needs (which I think it will). I have an Arizer max and EQ. The plan originally was to mount the MAX up with some concentrates like this video and I liked the setup he had so that's what got me down this rabbit hole haha.

Nice, yeah I think there are much better options for concentrate extraction too

yeah, feel free to recommend stuff. I recently just got some concentrates for the first time and have just been holding the arizer upside down cause it works. I don't have an actual setup for dabs.

you just need to grab a banger and cap for whatever bong you grab. whatever joint size the bong is get the right sized joint on a banger. I know @LesPlenty has an extensive knowledge about good dhgate vendors with good proper seamless welled bangers, might actually not have that term for that banger type quite right. other than the banger you just need a torch lighter
