SmokingBong has this tiny narrow tube honeycomb recycler that is really tempting me now damnit:

Thinking it would be good for Hopper and TM among others... Fuck yeah I definitely want this one too

This little guy arrived today, was first to ship from my most recent DH spree, nice enough for the low price though I'm not sure how useful since it is super tiny... Tried it dry with the hopper for starters, kind of works as a handheld solution, but not perfectly comfortable unfortunately... It's also a bitch to get dry because of all the chambers and anti-spill style, have not tried it with water yet, we'll see, thinking I'll try TM using an adapter, but yeah this really is just a micro portable dab rig as it did come with a small banger! Minor risk for minimal reward in this case :lol: we shall see long term

More exciting things to follow... Yeah that blue recycler looks great, but no no not now not now lol so a natural perc recycler doesn't have the perc at all? More flavor that way?

Basically, yeah. This thing chugs harder than anything I've ever used yet the flavor is right up front. I love it. My small Biao.t has great chug but it's from a 4-hole perc and I get more flavor on this big piece.

Jumped on this one for $32 shipped. Recent review pics are same as the pic here. 14mm joint and 12.2 inches tall...much bigger than most other RBR options on DHGate.


Damn with coupon and sale that lasts until tomorrow, these are actually only $28 now, so I think I'm going to have to grab one before you receive yours and provide feedback for us... I feel pretty confident you're going to say it's a nice piece?? :uhoh::lol:

Seems like the mouthpiece may be a little too flared and too wide for me, but still it's over a foot tall and so cheap, hopefully not too tall that the RBR recycler vortex still functions well?? Matrix be damned hmm

Bet that longggggg drain is chuggy

Would that be good, or bad? I feel like chug vs purr I usually want purr, smooth for convection?? Although maybe I use the word wrong judging by how @Improvaper used it...?? Nomenclature always so tricky!

Theoretically, it would pull smooth from the matrix, but with a high water level, for it to recycle properly, it would then have more restriction and chug once it hits the vortex? Am I understanding that correctly?? :hmm:

Well I suppose it’s preferential but I like stuff that doesn’t take much effort to fire.

Some amount of chug can be cool though, the old Stone Glass Works Waffle tubes had a nice chug to them especially on the clear due to their long skinny necks.

A lot of times a high water level and a long skinny section takes a real crank to get going and start bubbling. Sometimes the drag isn’t so bad once it starts going though. Friend has a Zob like that, takes a real kick start to turn over but then it’s not too bad. But he much prefers a big beaker instead.

That’s a great way to describe it. Those with younger, stronger lungs, can overcome some of those limitations.

But as I’m no longer young,.... a Clint Eastwood quote: “ A mans got to know his limitations”.

In a relatively short amount of time, I bought a lot of different devices and learned how my lungs and pull time, effected how I used them. Then I complicated things by getting into different water rigs. Adding a longer airpath, going through water, of course effected my limited pull time of the actual vapor. Playing with whip vapes, like EQ, do the same. I played with one beautiful recycler, but I don’t have the lungs for those models unfortunately. I also bought and played with a bunch of different designs in mini and micro bubblers, and at least for me, I realized at some point, you are not getting much worthwhile cooling, though they are cute and fun.

As I’m sure some of the real old timers can attest, once you learn your limitations and what you really like, it gets easier to judge potential products without even buying them. Earlier in this thread I posted my latest C2 rig, did my homework, and it’s by far my favorite rig now, it gives me just the right amount of resistance that’s matched to my all devices and lungs. It’s super smooth, purrs like a kitten. It’s retired my last 2 year favorite, the simple 9” inverted shower head rig I bought from CH (New Vape then), and found out it was a TAG rig, likedit so much I bought a 2nd oneand put in storage, so two rigs were retired by the C2. :(

No regrets, the 4 month wait was worth it, as I’m reaching for this one over all the others regardless of size, as it gives the best VAPOR for me.

So here's my take on percs and chugging:

I generally want simplicity when it comes to diffusion. Nothing beats a natural perc for that. Maximum flavor, maximum chug. Some people claim too much chug is bad for convection vapes, but I disagree. That push/pull action of the perc lets you draw slower, as it will pulse the hot air pockets back and forth through the load, resulting in better extraction. And that same action will help draw for you with vapes that have a tight draw (lookin' at you, Dynavaps). But the best part for me with chuggy percs is the clear. That assistance with clearing is so nice... it allows me to save the very last inch of my lungs to wrap things up without leaving anything. I need to reserve a lot more when using more open, smoother percs.

That said, I think a 2-3 hole perc is the perfect balance of chug and refined bubbles. Works for vaping and for dabs. I also have smoother percs in my aresenal for that experience when I want it, but I will always be a chugger at heart.

This new blue recycler is probably pushing the top tier of chug resistance for me. It definitely takes a good pull to get it going. The way it shakes in the hand is simply amazing. And it clears instantly. Love.

I would guess sometime next week. It departed the shipper facility in LA yesterday and is en route to USPS. Not sure if that means customs or if the that was handled at the shipper facility. Either way I am figuring end of next week or beginning of the following one.

For $28, unless this thing comes with a crooked perc like some old school china glass, its a decent deal at least if not a steal.

I like a beaker best for scraight chuggin.........like it best of all.
👍🏿
Yo arb hope you are good mate. Just, you know...keeping it alive! Lol.;) By taking this opportunity to shout Yo, or might not catch you for who knows.

I'm still fully GAS free. That type of gas anyway lol.

This has remained one really fun thread though over the years here, with a real cluster who frequent here I respect and see as some of or equally the cleverest members in our midst here, not JUST vape topics but including.

So just keeping in touch really. With life.

Hope all are well. Enjor your GAS lol.

Well I think I hit an ending point again, finally ordered the blue sea world aquatic rig, llglass were very quick to respond after I ordered confirming it will look just like the photo... And yeah I grabbed the 12-inch dark green matrix RBR from SmokingBong, just before the sale ended, although of course they extended it today indefinitely anyway so it is still $28 lol @xer0 I think you will see yours next week, if it is already in Cali, mine arrived only a couple days after that, probably because I'm local, but that means I think it should not take too long to then get to you wherever you are in the US too!

Another piece I have been eyeing, though not motivated to jump in on yet, was one of these modular hammer bubblers with glycerin cooler mouthpiece from PhoenixGlass, however last night I stumbled upon this one from GiliGlass that I like better (milk blue color and it is cheaper...)

(Gili on the left, Phoenix on the right)

Edit: Oh hey this one looks just like the blue glory hole rig in rainbow (frosted or clear) for like half the price... Had overlooked it before!

Yep definitely hit the end now, as GooRoo emailed me earlier saying they had just made these three, cost $178 each shipped:

So I snagged the one on the right for $151!

@invertedisdead in case you want to try for ones on the left... @SixStringToker so now you definitely don't have to feel bad at all lol has yours from BwG arrived yet btw??

Nice! You better be showing that off in the heady thread (at least your own thread!) :whip:

Glowfly heady steamroller from Brothers with Glass arrived today with LongSheng Glass drop downs and carb caps:

PXL-20210911-230811012.jpg


It is actually very nice using with the Vapman so far as mephisto said! Like a real vapor shotgun, silver fumed with green coils, super thick glass too! Excited to try with more...

PXL-20210912-000143656.jpg


And these drop-down adapters are super nice, thick glass, non-frosted unground joints, very satisfied! The carb caps are nice, but much larger than I expected, with very short inner air spouts, maybe they will work better upside down? Eh this keeps happening to me, they're always bigger than expected and meh performance, I'll stick with my quartz pi bubble cap even without using my thermal banger I think!

Thanks man, I actually don't need them, never tried using any pearls yet, but the quartz pi does work well (great for thermal banger that is my go-to and fine enough for the opaque bottom) and I like the color (mine is berry) all good for now!

@Shit Snacks $15? how? Not that I can afford to buy anything right now, just curious.

Sorry which item? The green tube? Or are you asking about the orange three piece from GooRoo and have misread or made a typo?? I was able to get the 15% off using the regular coupon code like we do when we order from the site (blackfriday) it is only more than that during holidays etc not sure that could ever apply for one of these, it used to be 25% before we abused it and they gave us 15% off as a regular offer lol but that offer doesn't apply to custom work btw
