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.

Thanks, had this mini rig for awhile now and wanted to thank you for posting the photo of the “Aqua Lab - 14mm Mini Dab Rig”. I was intrigued, I don’t buy much glass rigs, as I have my favorites, but I wanted something smaller then my Rattlecan, but not a pop on on mini bubbler, I have a couple of those. Something easy to one hand hold with small devices, like a DV, or IQ2, nothing to large like a Mighty that would topple it over.
As it is hard to judge scale by their online photo, and even using a ruler to estimate, I was shocked how small it was when I opened the package. In my mind I thought it was 20-30% larger, so my heart sunk.... but then my brain engaged and I thought, isn’t this EXACTLY what I originally wanted, something really SMALL, but functional.
They claim these are US blown glass, and that may be true, as I’ve never seen it on any Chinese sites, but I didn’t look hard. That may explain the slightly high price of $65. My disappointment is how thin the glass is, and the base would be much better if an inch wider too. I don’t believe this will survive even a table tip over, so I’m extremely careful, even when I clean it. I love everything else, I’d pay $100 if those improvements were ever incorporated.
You can get more water in then most small bubbler types, but way less then a larger rig like the Rattlecan. However, it does add a decent amount of cooling and of course fine herb bits filtration. That’s always a compromise.
The biggest SURPRISE improvement that this little rig added was a lot of extra pull, not sure how that vacuum science works, but I find it easier to pull now on a carb less DV stem and an IQ2, both with some draw resistance in their OG state. And of course, being able to see how much vapor is going through the glass, is always welcome feedback.
I highly recommend this rig for the purposes I’ve outlined above.
