Cheap High Quality Bubbler

BTW while searching for turbine perc I found this one. Looks very interesting for me. Any concerns?
I have it.. Funny, but not for a daily driver/everyday use.
To use rather with one hitter style vapes, because the water takes a certain time to go down in the lower part. Draw restrictive. Nice & fun for the vapcap but unsuitable for the TI.
(you can have it for less than on your link.. around $20/25)

can you guys recommend a piece simmilar to the forums standard d020 ?

Take a look at FC Mod & FC Ufo, both great. (or the classic upgrade to the D020 D)

IME this is might be related to the t° used, very low temp dabbing (under 520°F) doesn't create a lot of build up in opposite with higher t° which create a lot of reclaim.... although it might be related to your very high level of concentrates consumption @StormyPinkness , that's all!
Some of us prefer low temp dab hits for flavor. The trade off is more reclaim. It's not a shame at all. Different strokes is all. There is no one way here. Do what you enjoy, no need to dictate how others enjoy.

.......so which is it ?
Do low temp dabs make more reclaim or high temp ?
And what temps are we talkin here ?

I dab rosin at 490-560F in a dnail sic dish. It does leave a small amount (reclaim for lack of a better name) that's easily cleaned with a q-tip. If I were to bump the temps up I'd get less reclaim. The difference probably isn't much, but it is what it is.

Over time, and were talking weeks/months, I get a reclaim build up in my drop down and carb accessory that I scrape out every month or two. I'd probably get less here as well if I hit my nail at higher temps.

For me I dab at temps I enjoy, and don't worry about a small amount of reclaim.

Anyone have experience with this type of perc. Don't even know what it's called.

And does anyone know the difference, if any, between a tree arm perc & a jellyfish perc?

Thanks!

@Summer,
Those are called "button" percs, sometimes called "cross button".
They are a good, simple, fairly low diffusion percolator... I have 2 or 3 pipes with that design and I like them all. It's about the same diffusion you get from a tree perc. Decent flavor.

Jellyfish percs and tree percs are similar, and I've seen some companies use the terms interchangeably. I personally think of "Jellyfish Perc" as being half domed on top, with a thin middle, then a thicker bottom with arms that come down, then bend outward. Kind of like the center perc on this pipe:

Others might have other ideas, and I'm sure there's a super technical description somewhere that tells you exactly what one is... a document the Chinese are blissfully unaware of as they write descriptions for these pipes! :D

So I'm going to visit some friends down in SD soon and they only have spoon pipes so I wanted to get them some cheap glass that they can smoke and dab out of, I really like the look of the jet perc rig, the dual function one is ugly as fuck but it's 2 pieces in one... I want something nice n thick so it won't get broken so easy, looking to spend no more than $40 (not including shipping). My other option is to snag a cheap gooroo or special k piece at my LHS as they regularly have them for 60 and under. What do y'all think?

@Kanna_Kult First off mate, I think you're a really good friend and it's a really nice, thoughtful gift. Especially as they've only been using spoons, a proper piece of glass is gonna blow them away! :tup:

Second thing, you've posted the same link for the rig, lol! So I think subliminally you've already made your decision man. It's good-looking, good perc imo, and a nice thick base. What's not to like? Of course I can't judge the other option, but a reliable source says it is ugly as fuck so my vote is no.

My reasoning? It's their first (& only) water piece, so they'll be using it all the time, every day right? Then functionality aside, it needs to look good yeah? They're going to love using it, looking at it, and getting compliments from other friends. Do they already have all the other bits they'll need to dab? Anyway, good luck with whatever way you eventually go.

Looks like a nice piece. Grab it man, I can see you want to, please share if you do. I have just sent the link to my mum to consider for her Flowerpot.

I have that piece, without the logo. I bought it from another seller other than "Clean Clear Glass", as they only had the logo version in stock, and I'm just not a brand or logo guy... other than TaG maybe, they did a cool one! :)

Anyway, It's my favorite "short can" lately... it's just a really attractive, functional, thick and strong pipe. 62mm (2.5") diameter, it's about like holding a can of coke. It's the perfect weight and height to be something you want to handle and grab on the go, unlike many 12" and larger pipes where it sometimes seems like a chore to deal with.

You really can't go wrong with that one! :)

Yeah to me it looks like a slightly bigger version of the black Toro one in Vapecritic's original video. That is the one my mum is currently using with her Showerhead (which she DIGS more and more everyday.:rockon:)

So, similarly easy as a comfortable handheld pipe still, bit smoother/cooler perhaps.
Thanks for your thoughts bro.:tup:

Oops lol this is the one I meant to link as well

https://m.dhgate.com/product/thick-glass-water-pipes-glass-bongs-with/240284717.html#mstprod-19-null

It's the stars that really bug me... why would they put stars on it? I like the flower of life pattern but they had to make a damn star border.

It's not their first piece also, I've given them bongs in the past they just move all the time so they don't currently have one. I'm getting them something smaller this time because last time I gave them a 4 footer and it was to big to move with lol

Are you're friends Dallas Cowboys fans? LOL, I have to agree mate, those stars really fugly up the whole piece. But it's available in clear glass, no sandblasting (no stars!) and all 3colors of perc for 4 bucks less. But the other rig has infinitely more class, imo. I still vote for the first one. PEACE!

That is NOT a real D020 and appears to be trying to trade of the very popular style name. Bummer. The real D020 is a great small piece. This one is kinda odd. Here is the real one. (When I say real, I mean the original copy. I don't think SS actually designed this.)

I noticed that someone (Summer maybe) was trying to post the FC-187 but the mods pulled it because it had a fake logo. Looks like Baron23 slipped one past the mods.

Just FYI, when you want to post a counterfeit labeled piece, look further down in the listing to see if there is an unlabeled pic, like this one in the same listing. It is available both ways. I won't buy a labeled counterfeit and they can't be posted here.

I happen to love this piece. I have one with a bad perc that I have had for a while and I recently ordered a replacement for it. Thick glass and great effect. And reasonably priced. The one with a bad perc had been sidelined until I started using wide open vapes (RBT), and it works OK with them, but I want a better one.

I have this one (and another on the way). Compact and sturdy, it pairs beautifully with VapCaps - especially the NonaVong. Smallish capacity, obviously but perfect
for micro/mini dosing.
EDIT: Also, very cheap :tup:
I tried different material on my lips?
Only Glass is doable for me.
CERAMIC worked without bothering me?

OK, so my new FC-187 arrived today from Steven, 14 days from order. It is ALMOST perfect, and with the coupon it cost me only $13 delivered. It's only flaw is the female joint is dropped about 4mm into the can. The good news is that put the perc VERY low in the can which is great. So far I don't see any way that should be a problem. The perc works well and the draw is comfortable. It is a much better perc than my other 187, which will now go on a shelf.
I didn't get my request for a M2M instead of the flower bowl in fast enough, so I have another flower bowl that is useless to me, and a promise from Jane that she will add one to "your next order". I'll live. And given how much I like Steven's stuff there WILL likely be another order some time. Probably the FC Mod. Not soon, tho... ;)

Steven, if you are watching you are still doing great work. Thanks.

So, here they are next to each other. The new one is on the right. It has a thicker base, a shorter can (by about 1/2") and a better perc very near the bottom. The perc being so high in the older one was one of the things I really didn't like but was livable. The two pieces are very close in total height because the MP stem on the new one has a little bigger angle, which is also an improvement to avoid any water in it.

I should be much happier with this one.

One last thing. Looking at the pic on my earlier post (above) of this piece from Steven's page, that sample also has the dropped joint so it wouldn't have been a surprise if I had looked close enough. That also suggests it is NOT a flaw, but intended, probably to get the perc lower. So from that perspective, this piece is about perfect.

I have a fc-187 from Steven that's a couple years old. It looks like your newer one, on the right. Except I don't think my base is that thick. It's fairly thick tho. And I use mine almost daily with a dynavap and a 14/18 adaptor. Works great.

On shipping time with Steven, I ordered 5 fc-186 pieces from Steven on black Friday (x-mas presents) and they arrived January 2 :(. But they all are solid pieces, and work very well.

I love my FC 187.

Cutting off the mouthpiece = CIVILIZED

18mm MALE 90 facing down = BIG CAN ASH COLLECTOR = GOAL

ASH COLLECTOR = J HOOK = CIVILIZED ADULT BEHAVIOR

Oops. Steven has always shipped quickly for me, but I was likely always ordering something he had stock of. With some vendors shipping is ALWAYS in the 30 day range as they go by ship. Lighters from China always take that long for me. And flashlights.

Funny you say that?

I'm in the middle of studying PHILOSOPHY?

It's amazing to me that CANNABIS help's me read faster?

My 21 year old like's the bigger mouthpiece?

I like or prefer a smaller one?

Maybe it's generational?

I can't put wood on my lip's?
Some don't mind?

GLASS seem's CIVILIZED to me?

So I'm soaking my fc-187 overnight and using my fc-186 with a 18/14 adaptor and my dynavap. To my surprise the larger can allows me to kill a full load in one big hit. A little more restriction, but what a cloud!

Looking to pick up a small travel rig.

Is there a smaller incycler than this guy?: https://www.dhgate.com/product/8-quot-mothership-glass-torus-bong-recycle/384857540.html

This guy looks like a potential winner: https://www.dhgate.com/product/hs20...actory/406344500.html?recinfo=8,101,3#ctabBox

Anyone try this knockoff of ~$1k rig?: https://www.dhgate.com/product/good...recinfo=8,103,5#cppd-5-5|null:103:r0166627947

LOL it's tagged as "Good filtration Real Image"; total image steal from @borobenjamin on IG (I've been following him for a minute), but I don't have a grand lying around at the moment.
