Cheap High Quality Bubbler

The first of my new toys arrived today- it's SAML/Popular Glass and is a definite upgrade from the d020. Vaping herb or dabbing tastes better and is cooler.

But- I do not like the trend for short mouthpieces. My face is a bit too close to the hot piece.... I suppose this is to preserve flavour as much as possible but I would have liked the mouthpiece to be longer or bent closer to 90 degrees. I am not a fan of drop -downs.

There are the usual asymmetries and imperfections to be expected but this is indeed cheap and high quality for the price...Very thick glass!

This took about 18 days to arrive so no different to how it's always been before the scamdemic. The RBR should be here end of this week!

Have you heard about the boom on Mizar 5?
Not straight from china cheap but I picked up this piece from Greek Glass to use with my Flowerpot.

Lots of chug but I'm really digging it especially with the TAG drop down I recently acquired as well. I do wish the mouth piece was more curved or longer but vapers can't always be choosers. It does however look like it is sold out at the moment, didn't realize till I went to grab the link for this post :uhoh:

that top looks way to straight ... needs a bit more hook there you think ? you'd have to be bent over that thing all the time to make it work

I agree there. I usually pick it up and tilt it towards me, otherwise you do have to have to hunch over fairly well to hit it

The purple RBR arrived a few days ago and is a lot of fun- seems to be as effective as the significantly bigger klein/egg recycler I got earlier,and with less drag resistance.

But ..if you are a perfectionist, biao.t may disappoint. My piece has an off-center / not perfectly vertical downstem&perc, and a slightly off-center hole at the mouthpiece. These issues are diffcult to show in a photo and wil not be accepted by DHGate as reasons to return...a familiar story with China glass... I even asked him to choose a good piece so I can recommend him to the forum and he assured me it would be good...all bullshit of course. I will contact him to see what he has to say...

but the thing works pretty well and is now my favourite bubbler. This design is really as good as it looks.

My favorites are still the GB-186 and the FC-1000. I might be biased, though. >.>

I would not expect an up and coming glower to make high end glass quality. He does a good job...but is not on the level of $300+ rigs yet. So to get that piece for so cheap....I would not complain about things not being perfect....its hand blown glass...not coming out of a stamped mold. lol

That said.....you got a lot for your $ with that piece and I would enjoy it with that in mind. Thanks for showing us the rig!

This seems to be a couple cheap dimpled 18\22 jointed dry cooling stems?
Super curious if there is a lip at the base of the joint for a screen to sit on.

I hit 11111 miles on my relatively new car the other day and I celebrated by pulling over and having a pee behind a tree. Who knows how we might celebrate 1111 pages. Should we have video?

I think it's been said that he's using molded pieces which are welded together by hand, so it's semi-mass produced.

This is not a custom order, he had a bunch of these on his dhgate shop. He didn't / couldn't look at the image links I sent him (dhgate's image upload doesn't work for me) but just replied with "if it's broken i can replace if not then we can't. Our stuff is high quality". This one should have been rejected if they were comitted to high quality. It's cheap compared to US originals but not cheap for DHGate ($65) . At least it works well and am enjoying it big time! :brow: lots of flavour and very easy and smooth once you knowwhen to stop. It's almost like drinking the vapor through a big straw in a funky tropical cocktail glass and the turbulence is endless fun to watch.

That is part of why I like Claisens like the one in the pic I posed above that allow you to combine various glass pieces and vapes into Frankenglass of different configurations. Like this one from ebay...

The glass stopper makes clearing the glass easy without lifting the vape.

Are you fucking kidding me? Is this more of our admin inappropriately trying to kill Chinese businesses? GMAFB

Were they labeled knock-offs/counterfeits?

I agree, a bit of an overstretch if it was just a paraphernalia seize.

I've had a little bit of GAS recently and picked up this little pup from Aqua Labs to use primarily as a dry hand pipe of sorts for my Flower Pot. It's been working real well for that purpose. With some water in it there's not a whole lot of diffusion due to just being a basic two hole perc but It does provide some cooling and because of how the mouthpiece is set up you can add a good amount of water without ending up drinking any of it. It does get dirty pretty fast since its straight down from the bowl to the body but its pretty easy to wash out with some hot water.
