Can I please have some thoughts on these 3 pieces, they're pretty much the same piece with the variations in height and location of the perforations. I prefer the smaller size and 18mm joint so I'm currently waiting on CCG's reply to see if it's available, Steven's piece has the 18mm joint but the perforations seems to be in the middle. I don't dab, planning to use these with my vapes if it help with recommendations. Was a smoker for many years so should I start with the conservative size to test the my ability?

CCG also has this one without the fab, what will I lose if I buy this one? Is it just aesthetics? TIA

There are some big differences I price for similar looking items, I wonder if the CCG models is worth an extra $100.
My recommendation for a first bong would be a D020-d, I call it my Goldie Locks piece as it is not too big and not too small, just right.

Careful though, once you buy one it is hard to stop.

I have a few pieces already, just looking for something more vertical. The prices are all weird, once you actually click on the order it comes out to be roughly $50's for the CCG fab pieces and $40's for the popularglass unit. I'm sure they'll all be good but now that I have a choice I want to make the best one:D

I only have 1 bong with the flat mouthpiece like the ones you listed, I like the curved/concave shape better, just a personal thing.:tup:
The CCG price things are weird.
Everything on DHGate just went up 10% for Australian buyers, bloody government and their taxes:rant:

Got a small problem with a certain seller about a FTK recycler I got.
The downstem seems to be not 14mm: my Sublimator does not seal proper. Standard vapcaps seal immediately (and they don’t fall trough as with 14mm joint) so I suppose it is 10mm.

Question: how can I display that the joint is only 10mm in a pic?
Seller wants confirmation..

That FTK is nice but I feel like I want another piece, tad bigger now :)

I believe (as in not certain so don't take it to the bank) that he had an issue with his account (maybe forgot his password or something) and with VTAC's insistence on not getting an alias for his "fuckcombustion.com" verification emails which are blocked by most ISPs.

I believe Mom tried to help him get his account going again but that communication seemed to not be successful.

Of all things that VTAC has left go, not buying a $10 email alias without "fuck" in the domain name is the one that seems least forgivable to me.

If you want to reach Ataxian, go to Mom's board, Vapor Asylum. He's there.

Bummer, I've noticed his absence but like at the senior center I work at sometimes you (I am) are afraid to ask...

I guess alive and well but elsewhere is the best option. He will be missed here.

Sounds like the right place for him.
I finally got to try the mini bubbler with a vapcap,
https://www.dhgate.com/product/mini-glass-beaker-bongs-water-pipes-4-0-inch/392465041.html
I at first did not like it, but now I have to agree it ain`t too bad with the vapcap, even without water (no match for a normal rig though).
Here is a little pic to match the little bubbler;

can someone please recommend me a nice 18 (preferred) or 14mm bong which checks these marks?
For heavy hitters like Sublimator and Supreme
joint placed low (The Sub setup is kinda tall, for stability a low point of gravity had be nice)
big base
perc: Im open to try new stuff. I own matrix and jet perc pieces
preferably tall, 12" or above (within reason of cause)
price: around 50 to 100 USD, preferably china glass. Smashing not-that-expensive-glass is a pity, smashing expensive glass is a nightmare

Lookin forward to some advise!
For reference: I dislike my matrix sidecar but do like my FTK by Steven.

Not nice. Warning point issued.

@Baron23, why can't ataxian register under a different username like ataxian1?

You need to ask him. He does walk to the beat of a different drum, no?

But the issue, I believe, is again that he can't get the verification emails for his account (old or new one) and therefore can't activate. And again, this is due to VTAC having his head about 10 feet up his ass on domain names.

The only service I have found that will allow FC domain name emails through their filter is Yahoo.

I gather that Mom tried to walk him through the process but it was more than can be done via PMs.

Cheers

This is way out of line. If you have a problem with the domain name, you sure kept it quiet for two years and 3735 posts. You are wrong about the domain name being filtered by any service whatsoever, and I review the registrations daily so I know what I'm talking about. Occasionally for some reason we have not been able to diagnose, someone cannot complete registration or get a confirmation for changing a password or email address . We will let people in that predicament create a second account, which can be merged when our administrator returns. @ataxian is free to do this, but it is perfectly understandable that he would rather not use that solution.

Nobody is happy about @vtac's prolonged absence, including me, but I am not letting you get away with having his head up his ass for the domain name. I'm off to hang the red banner of shame on your post.

The D020-D is also small in comparison. The side cars and also (same with diff mouthpiece) the D020-9 is much bigger in volume but not much taller at all. I like both the D020-D for my smaller vapes and the D020-9 for my powerful vapes like the Elev8r and Flowerpot.

d020 I can see has a diff style perc....is the d020-d/mobius matrix a better style?
Click to expand...
I have all 3 of these and they all have different percs, the D020-d is my Goldielocks pick as it is in the middle size wise and resistance wise too, for me anyway. I would skip the D020 and go for the D020-d, unless you only want it for a powerful vape that needs restricting a little, like my Plenty, the sidecar mobius knock off shines the brightest with this vape only, for me.

I have the D020-d and a VapeExhale hydratube knockoff. Now I'm looking for a mini rig with the female glass joint on the bottom of the piece - I want the vape bowl to be facing upwards when in use, so oil does not drip inside the device.

Has anyone seen any rig like that except for the VapeExhale knockoffs? Those are rather big...

Thanks!

This little GB-379 bubbler arrived today from Yingmin5 on DHgate:

I'm quite pleased overall, but the description on DHGate is contradictory.
The listing shows 12 inch height and also shows the joint size to be both 19mm and 14mm.

The actual height is just under 9 inches and the joint is 14mm.

Either way, I like the colours and I'm looking forward to trying it this evening.

How's the 14mm joint? I just picked up a piece from Yingmin5 and the joint is not round causing whatever is in there to rock back and forth. It also leaks a bit. No response from seller yet - altho, they were very responsive when I asked questions. The rest of the piece is pretty nice, but the crappy joint makes this thing garbage.

The joint seems ok on this piece. It seems to get a good seal with my flowerpot bowls or drop downs.
I guess there is a very slight wiggle, but not enough to concern me.

I really like the piece so far.
It's quite a smooth purr, hardly any change of getting water in my mouth, and little to no blowback.
