Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[Polarbearboy]

My DHGate double tree perc bubbler arrived on Monday. Less than two weeks from ordering in China to my door. I ordered a Mobius knock-off matrix sidecar the same day from a different vendor which tracking says hasn't even left China. The double perc was a replacement for a similar double perc that broke falling off the table twice. Hard to tell from the images on-line, in which they look the same. I preferred the older one, which had a larger diameter body, somewhat thicker glass, and a bigger mouthpiece. The new one works fine, so ah well.

Yesterday I drove a couple of hours each way to get some rosin and other goodies. Sampled three of my four purchases last eve and then got up, inadvertantly bumping the table. Of course I knocked over my brand new bubbler, in part because it was weighted on one side by a good-sized ash catcher. That's how I knocked over the old bubbler twice, both times with ash collectors degrading the balance. I didn't break the new one, but the ash catcher broke. When I went to order a quick replacement on Amazon, it told me that this is my third. That doesn't include other ash catchers that are also gone. Why double perc and ash catcher for vaping mostly concentrates? I'm in my 70's and still enjoy big milky hits of strong stuff--lots of cooling and termpering is the only way I can keep going.

I ordered on 7/10 and received the package a little over two weeks later. In my dealings with Goo Roo, I've gotten the impression that customer service isn't one of their strengths. Or online orders aren't a priority. I ended up calling and still had to wait a bit longer.



The new glass turned up today:


Here's the function video for @Shit Snacks:

I adore it. It feels solid with a little heft to it. The flavor is great. There's some chug and very little drag. The airflow works well with the B-2 and it had me crushing bowls faster than I'm used to. After that rip in the video I had to stand up and I found myself just pacing around the room, totally overwhelmed. There's a surprising amount of cooling and the vapor is damn smooth overall. I'm impressed.

I gotta head to bed but I'm looking forward to continuing to play with it tomorrow!

Which model is that? Is it the large Inline? I like the bottom circular perc! was that a special request or a different model than the inline? Sweet!!!!

No, that is not a GooRoo piece... That is the Licit Glass inverted showerhead from Nhalables... They are sold out of it, but they have the double inverted showerhead still available, although the sale is over...

Thanks DG! I'm definitely most interested in the single one now, maybe next year lol

Edit: my GooRoo orange frit base large inline actually arrived today already, they forgot to send the tracking but whatever haha I'm sure they sent plenty this week!

Have not tried it yet but I am already glad I got it, it is larger than the standard D020T style can like my inline honeycomb rig from Kathy, smaller than Biao large bent neck inline (which God help me is in LA customs again somehow now...), different from GooRoo 3piece and TAG super slit donut...

The glass is insanely thick, the mouthpiece, wide flaring but it is so thick, we'll see how comfortable it is for me, the mouthpiece tubing is also very wide, going to be very nice flow... Apparently it is 14mm female, thought maybe it would be 18mm, but I honestly don't care, actually might even prefer that it is 14 so great lol The perc holes are only in the back side of the inline stemline as I said, and they are nine holes all pointing up really, although one side they are on the side a bit... It is kind of cool how the stem line is fused to the other side of the rig can, it even pokes out a little so the can is not flush, it's kind of cool, makes it feel more heady hand made... The logos are small and tasteful too imo



Yeah I feel very satisfied, the quality and the color and the style for the price, but now it is time to try it out why not!

Upline just arrived... will post back later!

@Shit Snacks is right. It's by Licit Glass, specifically this model:

Here's how it looks next to my GR Large Inline:


I'll post some more detailed observations after I've had a bit more time to mess around with it.

Sure thing! Good function videos can be hard to find and it's so tough to know what to buy (or daydream about) without them.

By the way, it looks like Licit wholesales that rig for $100 (50% of the list price). Someone could make an argument for a group order...

Nice! I also like the logo on the stem there and that orange just pops. Those holes are drilled radically different than mine, though. It baffles me.

I’m a big fan of the “inverted shower head” perc. The 9” rig that CH/NV sells, that’s actually made buy TAG, is the one I always use with my oil rig, the DCup by CH. The shower head on mine is much more shallow as it’s not a very tall piece. Liked it enough to buy an identical backup. Easy to draw, and maintain an even draw, and get great filtration, but not a lot of flavor lose, the old tradeoff. Enjoy!

although the sale is over

You can pre-order the Licit 60mm bent neck and they have 10% off ATM...it is a very nice looking piece.

Oh damn, to anyone who wants to do the leg work on that, I am in! lol

Yeah I was surprised by the different perc, but the other color ones were the same, after watching a video in the next glass purchase thread, I noticed the hole closest to the down stem was firing more than the others, so I think that is why they made them all further back on this one? Yeah clean three rows of three holes clustered together, except one row is slightly on the side is all lol What matters is that function is good and it is extra unique? I wonder if someone else made it in fact, I wonder if a new clear large inline order right now would look more like mine or yours and the others we've seen here...

Anyway I'm getting the hang of it, working well with TetraP80, time to fire up the Halo for it, mine might even be larger than yours? Can investigate more later lol it can hold a lot of water and yeah the mouthpiece is quite large, not terrible, good airflow and such at least, just very large flaring, the glass is so thick though!

Oh dear, thank you, I think I'm good, especially if Biao large bent neck inline shows up, for now at least, to wait for another big sale or group wholesale by at more of a steel of a price

 

[Shit Snacks]

I would rather clear glass as you can see if you have cleaned it properly more easily (plus LEDs light them up better)...and it is usually cheaper. I gave up on the purple recycler for my Peak Pro and ordered the clear version for 30% less, I got this coming,

I know you are already set, but I saw on Reddit someone is selling a purple one now:

Looks like great quality, I've got one showing up from Licit today also.

Anybody have a favorite set of stoppers? I'm tired of using my fingers to hold the ISO in when it comes time to clean

Was going to order whatever is on amazon but figured I'd check here first.

I’ve bought several bags of these, and you can also get size specific ones, I bought more bags of just 14mm ones as all my rigs use that size, the variety bag is good to fit other sizes.

I'll second the ones @RustyOldNail posted, but these come in handy too

Hmmm...

 

[invertedisdead]

Pretty clever! Joint stoppers are easy enough to find but that’s cool how it works in the neck/mouthpiece section too.

This one looks like it'll be a beast:

Looks to be very well made, welds are done really well. Everything is symmetrical also, nothing wonky. Excuse the crappy pics.

 

[LesPlenty]

cool how it works in the neck/mouthpiece section too.

The great thing about the Dnail plugs is the ability to cover over 14&18mm joints so they get cleaned right to the top inside as well instead of being 'plugged'

I would have accidentally knocked that off it's precarious position for sure...living on the edge!

I'm a horrible picture taker, and was trying to get it in an area that had good lighting. I made sure it was sitting solidly, but yeah I was super careful not to knock it off.

 

[LesPlenty]

So I fixed my broken Puffco Peak Pro glass, I filled the space under the main body with 2 part epoxy instead of just using Glass Superglue as I feel it needed more support to stop it breaking again...and don't it look pretty

So the clear epoxy is not quite clear!

 

[Shit Snacks]

SmokingBong has the blue shapes recycler I got from Glass99 looking better build quality for function and cheaper so I ordered that for $31 why not lol and can gift the other? it does work fine, just not quite right is all...


Still trying to decide if I want the one from Lumin88 though, they actually just updated their listings, so I'm not sure which one I would receive, or which one would be better:
