Send some nudies and maybe she'll overnight it
I'm hoping she'll have me overnight, if you know what I mean.
Have you thought of it, if I was married to Kathy? We could float so many design ideas through her, and have all her glass minions at our bid. Bwahahahaha.
This thread is so freaking long. Has anyone defined how much "cheap" can be. There's some American glass out there $100 or less than it pretty high quality. Does that qualify?

Hey Hey
@ataxian, your rigs are so cool man, and you spend so little cash
@syrupy, cheap is relative. If you're paying $200 for a setup that would normally cost ~ $500, I'd consider that cheap.
But for this thread, I reckon $100 and below would be the golden point of what the it is trying to achieve, IMHO of course
Currently waiting myself for a small bubbler from Kathy, it's in the post, which is a lot further than I got with the last vendor

For some reason I feel $85 is cheap, but $100 or more isn't. I agree @Vapour Clown it's relative, and somewhat arbitrary. I'll drop back by and post some $85 and less gems that aren't chinese.

Yeah. Try as I might I just can't pull the trigger on that $150 recycler I lust for. But if I can find an onion bulb perc ash catcher for $20 (I can find it for $30) it's ordered.
It has become a game between me and the Chinese. Torches too. What will be next? Flashlights?

I have spent $1,000's on hobbies!@ataxian, your rigs are so cool man, and you spend so little cash

What I discovered is that being resourceful is more practical.
When a $500 glass piece shatters on your floor it makes one cry!
When a $30 glass piece shatters on the floor I sweep it up and pull out another while I laugh!

Hey Hey
@ataxian, we must be kindreds dude. I've also spent thousands on various hobbies and dialed it back a few notches.
A few years back, I clumsily smashed the back off my piece via falling beer bottle. It only cost me $70, but that bloody thing went around the country with me. I was devastated at that, but only for sentimental reasons.
After recently getting into using glass pieces with vaping, the razzle dazzle units still catch my eye, but then I think of that beer bottle and champion this this thread for the cheap good gear.
Clean boro is still really attractive in the mad scientist kinda way and you don't have to pay out the arse for it either

I had an ash catcher very similar to that one and it was really nice. I bought it for $40 off eBay thoughOk, I saw it... I want it...I must have it! What is it?
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/new-come-glass-bubbler-glass-water-pipe-glass/194444826.html
it will recycler fairly nice and the really tall recycling chamber will help prevent the ash catcher water from going into your waterpipe. Not sure if it comes with the rocks/foam in the female joint or not lol 
On a side note I figured out a nice trick on dhgate. Unlike eBay there is no way to save your favorite sellers (please correct me if I am wrong).
Well items added to your cart list a link to the seller right above the item so what did I do? Added an item from each seller, so now all I have to do is go to my cart, click the seller link and then I can view all their products
Now I have a nice and easy way to stalk all the good sellers and check out if they got any new products! Hope this helps!!!
I also just got done pulling a new batch out of my chamber (see avatar) so today should be a nice fun happy day with all my cheap quality bubblers! Thanks FC! This thread has made my year wonderful!

Ahhh thank you! I knew there was a better way hahaHere you go:
Just found out my colie slime recycler will be delivered today
and my Saturday just keeps getting better and better!!The lotus just got my morning jump started. I absolutely love this thing. If anyone has been looking to get one I say pull the trigger. With the WPA it is one of my favorite vapes now. Instant flavorful vapor. What more could one want? From the wise words of @ataxian "CANNABIS IS THE HOLY GRAIL!
Happy weekend everyone
You're thinking of @Mister GHey, whoever had the signature with the clickable links to all the known and loved pieces, we need you to make a post so we can easily find the goods we are looking for.
Now that I think of it, it might be nice to make that a stickie.

Dabs are vapor too!
All we need is someone to start us a wiki, and we can all chip in with the reviews and videos that are already made.

Ok, I got the double barrel recycler from Kathy. Shipped in a sturdy box, TONS of bubble wrap. Less than 6 days to get here, ordered Sunday night, the 6th. 8" tall, each side of the "hammerhead" perc has 9 slits. Perc is tacked to the glass below it.Comes with a large combustion bowl, smaller "one hit" bowl, surprisingly nice divited glass nail, and round dome.
Initial impression: smaller and heavier than expected. Don't know the glass thickness, but the barrels are THICK. Joints seem well made, will look more closely at them later. No leaks or anything like that. None of the proportions or angles are WAY out of whack, but they're not even either. Upper barrel is longer (wider from the front) than the bottom. Base is not centered, etc. Overall, about what I expected, not really noticeable unless you check, but definitely not perfect.
If the water is above the bottom of the upper barrel, I can get some water droplets hitting my lips. If the level is within the lower barrel - no problem. The mouthpiece looks big, but it's comfortable. Seems to hit smoothly, but honestly, I was expecting more from the reviews I've seen. I will test more later.
Note: my longest DI ("straw" type) nail hits the curved portion of the downstem under the joint, stopping it from seating fully. It will probably still work, just not the best seal. I have other nails though.

iOffer is a good place to go for cheap-ish US glass. Gotta dig a little, but some nice stuff for reasonable prices. Don't forget... you can make offers for a lower price. Seems in most cases it if is reasonable (10 - 20% off) offers are accepted.
Posted this one about a million times now, but thread moves fast so posting again. Great piece for a good price! I love it for vapor. Nice diffusion with little flavor loss, perfect volume, solid heavy glass. Rumor is that you get 10% off from jhan if you mention you are an FC member, so might want to include that if making an offer. This one lists at $150, so $135 ain't too bad and might even be able to pick up for a few $ less.

Id buy jhans work if it werent for the mouthpieces. I cant stand the fact that he still uses 50mm tubing or flared out 44mm for the bubblers. Much too big for my taste.
If he changed that he might have a new customer!
