Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[murf2010]

I love the way this looks, but as LabPong said, resistance is a bitch. IMO multiple percs are really better suited for combustion and not great with any vapes... one needs more airflow than a vape allows to really fire all the holes.

I’d like to find one this size, I love the look of it. I’m new to the rig thing so I don’t totally understand all the aspects that make a rig excellent. I do want to do dabs as well though prior to bed barring I need a heavy hitter.

I know you want to just buy the perfect piece once, but you are going to have to find what works best for you.

If you are simply going for aesthetics, the stereo matrix is pretty. If vaping, resistance is going to be a bitch and you likely will not fire all your percs. If dabbing, you may find this size and type of rig does not savor flavor as well as a smaller rig with less diffusion. No one rig is going to do EVERYTHING well. You may have to buy a few pieces to find one that does well in several of your categories.

I think that is part of what this thread is all about- cheap enough glass to let you explore without investing thousands of dollars.

My fav for doing both, not the best at either but if only one bong it would be,

But wash it out between using either.

+1,000,000

I definitely fall into this category who do not like going back and forth between conc and flowers on the same piece without a wash... Flowerpot flipped that upside-down for many people, but I have not yet gotten on board with it.

You’re saying this is decent for using a vape and doing dabs?

Hell yes. Before I switched to no water dabbing, the rattlecan was my glass of choice.

Lately I've been enjoying mr rattlecan dry so I'm exploring some options that I'm hoping might work a bit better - I've got a couple j-hooks and a simple small glass piece coming. @emmdeemo, what's your go-to for dry glass?

Who here has spent months/years etc with rigs and finally just caved in and got the flowerpot?

Oh yeah, I remember you posted about this recently. Nice. Simple.

I am very repetitive And I generally only own one piece of glass at a time. I dont like owning more than I can use

Without the downstem, you can fill it with water and use it as a water filled jhook/sherlock but with no percolation. Keeps the glass cool, and shortens the vapour path for less vapour loss via it condensing on the glass.

For me, yes, very little flavor loss while dabbing with this action and cools enough for my lowish temp dabs(450f dish) and is great with any of my herb vapes.

Which carb cap and nail do you use?
I’ve been doing some reasearch lately and it seems like a lot of people suggest using a pretty expensive nail/cap/marbles etc...

 

[FlyingLow]

Sky is the limit with what you CAN spend, shit look no further than what Mothership has done with Binary Bangers...

While the high end is certainly available, the less expensive side of the market has actually improved greatly with regards to quality. Look no further than 710 coils for all your bangers, caps, and coils. They also offer an enail, but the real king of enails IMO is MaxVapor.

This thread links back here Cheap, high-quality bubbler??

So, Yingmin5's glass all still has free shipping, while many of the others on DHGate have gone with significant shipping charges. I'm afraid they are all headed towards that, but maybe some will stay free and grab a bigger market share. I think that would be smart.
One can only hope...

+1 for 710 axial coil heater, banger, cap and balls, I am cheap so I pair it with an Auber RDK200 (US$60).
That is my flavor rig (with a ruby insert that was US$40).
I mainly use my DNail SiC Halo as it is so much easier to keep clean, these are getting cheaper now and I use the same Auber RDK200 PID controller to run both set ups.

 

[LesPlenty]

I got this from one of my Favorite sellers,

due to the coronavirus, there few flights can work, and it take over 3month to reach, the shipping cost rise a lot. so I suggest you order it when all back to normal.

That was to Oz as the item listing said 'Does not ship to Australia'

A lot of their stuff is sold out right now but looks like you can piece stuff together at an affordable option for good quality stuff. Ships from CA to USA is my guess? Of course this is all dandy barring you locate the appropriate rig. It’s tempting just to suffer the financial consequences and get a flowerpot vrod. Tho, the price is STEEP.

 

[cybrguy]

So that implies that they think these new shipping charges may be temporary. That is good news if true...

Are people still using DHGate?

I also cant get away from my Dnail SiC, it is beyond easy to clean and maintain in PERFECT condition and I think does exceptionally well with milking small amounts. My SiC really did not come to life until I paired it with a 710 coil, it provided much tighter temp window at far lower temp values on the PID.

 

[FlyingLow]

many do, I do not... I had more bad experiences than good.

Most of my glass is thru DHGate, with the last piece from yingmin5 (a rattlecan). If everyone ends up adding these new shipping charges the main motivation for getting china glass would be diminished at least. yingmin5 has not added them yet so maybe some will resist. Or, as has been suggested, the additional charges may just be to get thru crazy times. We will have to see what happens.
New charges aside, I can't really afford most American or German glass so it is china or bust for me for the most part.

I still have a bubbler from DHGate that I bought years ago.

 

[cybrguy]

I haven't created a sig for this forum yet, but when I get around to it I'll probably put my toys in it under a spoiler tag like I did at FC. The only pieces I have that are NOT from dhgate are a 12" straight tube I have had at least 30 years and a J-Hook and AC I got from GravLabs. All else is from one dhgate vendor or another, mostly Yingmin5, Steven or Sunshine. ... Oh wait, also a vapecycler from an unloved US maker...
