Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Stuck under a 🪵
Hi all 👋,
I just picked up a E-Nano XL and am looking to get a cheap glass piece to use with it for now. After looking around I found these two pieces on ebay:





which look like DHgate China glass that is already in the U.S. for a few more $$$ - any thoughts on these???

Yeah, there are a lot of DHgate resellers on eBay, if you see my post recently above or on the previous page. Those two rigs look like solid form factors, but we were just discussing frit percs and I'm not sure if it's what you want for your nano... Similarly I have used a natural perc ratchet disk like the other one you posted as I also mentioned when discussing the frit disk, with my OG underdog log and LSV, it is fine but not ideal, I don't think it is the best option for your nano either... I would look for a shower head, fountain, or inline perc, skim backwards to see some other ones I posted recently, there are a ton of options on eBay and I went through pretty much all of them this week!

Separately, check out this unique new cheap bong at Curated Flame that they posted on their Instagram, message or call or email them to order and have it shipped (the shipping is insanely fast cross country) they have a lot of other great stuff in stock!

Vgoodiez out here answering my question about their GR glass stock mad quick. GR ghostin' my email 👻 lol. I'm sure they're busy.

Looks like the GR large inline should be in stock at vgoodiez next week sometime. That will be my chance to strike, heheh. Figured I'd let you peepz know in case anyone else is looking for it.

I just realized that asking Goo Roo for a bucket instead of a bowl led them to send me NOTHING with my Large Inline. :|
----------------
No, I take that back. My mistake. I went back to the box and went through it more carefully and they DID include an angled bucket. Shame on me for missing it. The box was full of peanuts rather than bubble wrap and I had just missed the bucket.

You could try asking them, they might expect you to pay for the bucket, but they might send you a bowl for free still... When I got my 10 mm thermal banger bucket and I told them it was defective I only had to follow up once then they did send out the replacement without issue (though not immediately)

No, I fucked up. It WAS in the box, I just missed it. I fixed the post after you replied to it. Goo Roo actually did me a solid and charged me no extra, so I apologize to Goo Roo again. :doh:

Oh! Haha classic, that is awesome that they hooked you up and gave you the quartz banger bucket instead of the bowl! I guess now you will have to try dabbing, huh?..

Yeah, I started playing with cold dabbing in October of last year, and I am doing a dab or 2 maybe a couple times a week. I'm not gonna get serious about it, but it is a nice way to switch things up. I think you may have recommended the kinda cheap torch I am using, but I wouldn't expect you to remember... :p

Haha if it is the blusky from amazon then yeah it was probably me! I don't really fuck with cold start dabbing unless I have to like with Sai and Qomo, hot start dabbing is just so much simpler for me with tiny dabs, not the most efficient use of butane, but I do like fully cleaning the banger each time as I heat it up this way... Anyway I guess we should move this conversation to the beginners dabbing thread lol Glad you're enjoying!

Not quite below the usd120 inflation modified suggested price limit but not far off. And perhaps should live in a different thread but this is the most active (albeit mostly generated by our current glass aficionado) so I thought it would get more viewings here so here it is, my favourite glass pieces.

History. I've lived without glass for decades, as I combusted, then a mighty and DV which for me didn't need any glassware.

I then started dabbing so needed my first rig, a cheap dhg special. I then bought a vrod so my needs for decent glass grew.

I started with some more dhg numbers, some as per suggested here. But I soon realised that my priorities were : good flavour, modular and easy to clean.

A while back someone posted an ehle piece, the og akw. Looked good.
So I bought the akw V2 in last year's 420 for 100 euros (body only) and a downstem (open) and mouthpiece.

I liked it a lot but it was very chuggy so I bought some (much cheaper) stems from China with holes (5 for 20 euros). Much better for me.

Fast forward a year and I also have their power tower and a small collection of downstems and mouthpieces.

I've been very happy with both and would recommend (my power tower had an uneven base which resulted in a discount. On a moodmat it is perfectly stable and not noticeable. But buyer beware. On a hard flat surface the wobble would be unacceptable).

For the best value buy the bodies only and pick up downstems and mouthpieces for a lot less money elsewhere. A black leaf downstem can be had for a few euros compared to 30 for ehle.

I love how they look, function and how I can change things around easily. And the cleaning is a joy. For the moment my gas has been quenched.

Anyway, some pictures.

Nice! This is only a bit on the line for cheap china glass, but BiaoT has a new RBR 3.0 available here with function video on Instagram here, also seems like there is a blue one which will be especially tempting for me lol Seems like it has more proper RBR features, slightly larger can sections and bent mouthpiece, circ perc instead of matrix, with an additional circ perc around the neck, klein funnel shaped more like the 2.0 though larger... There is also an ash catcher version of the RBR 2.0 design here (reminder there is $5 off coupons in DHgate app too) so you could attach your own mouthpiece like a spiky right angle hook, just saying :brow:

Thanks for the great Downstem recs. Now that I have 3 piece HD Bubbler from GooRoo I see myself buying more different downstems than full pieces..

I gotta say I really love the 9 hole diffused downstem the HD3 comes with. It is smooth as butter. I broke mine and went back to them to replace it cause I like it so much. That being said, I also like the idea of switching things up with another one of different style, and I'm sure I will get one some time if I run into one. Finding a 10" downstem in the wild, however, may be a big ask.
I do have 3 different mouthpieces I use with it depending on how close to it a want to get. I do love modular.

I do love modular.
I love how I can just pull apart my modular rig and clean it in the dishwasher, can't get much easier than that for cleaning glass,

That is actually one of the pieces on my wanna get someday list. I also have a D022 with the removable downstem (only 6.5" so can't swap with HD3) an FC-UFO with swapable mouthpiece and the TAG 9" Donut with a swapable mouthpiece. I don't use the dishwasher to clean them but for the most part as a CE user they are pretty much a piece of cake to keep clean.

I can also confirm that is a good seller, that is where I got my Swiss holed male rig with the right angles, which they do not sell anymore, but they are pretty quick to ship, listen to requests in the notes, and have good quality thick glass... Glass99 also sell this piece, they even have it with some blue accent color, they are also a good and responsive seller with decent shipping time, however their glass could be a bit thinner potentially? I guess you never know with any seller piece to piece though... Also I will say again that I have mine with just the base can, and circ perc, no matrix or ash catch, from Steven popular glass, it is only okay honestly, pretty small, eh far from favorite!

Well sorry to double post, but the hemper sea turtle bong rig showed up yesterday, very quick shipping and they did not include the combustion bowl as I had requested...
PXL-20220509-221114733.jpg


It is quite nice, solid mouthpiece for me, overall small piece, though it holds a decent amount of water potentially (area between the foot and orb is hollow btw for extra volume beneath the perk, which actually has five holes below the turtle) or very little if you want... I will say that the glass is quite thin, so even at the discount I got, probably pretty overpriced though it is a pretty unique design I haven't seen elsewhere exactly?

FW7 was solid with it though I went hard so got harsh. Tetra, TM, and GH worked pretty well too, but it seems perfect for the xmax v3pro honestly giving me great performance!

So I am happy with it despite the price :cool:

That’s a style I like. I’d fill half of it up with some real Quartz balls and vape it dry. Good luck with it!

Yes I've seen you do that! Feel free to share a link here... What size balls do you recommend using? The largest I have is only 6mm but I also don't have much of them anyway... I was thinking I would want to try something like that, with the blue and purple dry ash catchers I ordered from China through eBay (which have shipped btw) although perhaps boro balls would be better? Pretty close to quartz either way!

MAIN THREAD LINK BELOW…. I posted my notes at POST #20, same thread,

…mentioned you as I bought those QUARTZ BALLS on Amazon. They got expensive quickly as I was adding to the Herbolizer Glass Globe, like that one more then the SP globes that I’ve shelved. I’m still glad I went for the quartz balls, I seldom try to save money on things I BREATH through. Though it got funny as the globe seemed so small, I kept dumping in more packs of balls, and had to order TWO more times from Amazon, these round globes are like a bottomless pit. And in the end, I’m just over half filled, but after testing, realized I didn’t need to fill it full as the original author in the thread I linked to. He also liked to add a bit of water below the perc, to add some moisture to the vapor, in THEORY, but I didn’t think the added cleaning was worth it, DIRTY water collects… but DRY is CLEAN & COOL, this from someone that used to think using water rigs dry was……. Kooky …. But the BALLS are the MAGIC SAUCE. Good luck dude.

What still surprises me is how well the balls cool the vapor and how it doesn’t need constant cleaning. One of my first choices these days.

I used ruby, SiC and quartz balls in my Arizer stems...too much work to keep clean, even with a sieve.
I would hate to have to clean hundreds of them. :2c:

With the Herbolizer Globe, it’s easy to clean. There are two female 14mm joints. I leave the balls in, run my quick connect hose from sink facet, has 14mm male on end, goes into the male joint on the INPUT side, the open side you would load the balls in at first. Then run hot water through for a few minutes, then all some Simple Green Crystal, shake, let sit, then run the hose again. The balls can’t fly out as they are stopped by the built-in perc and stem. FULL DISCLOSER: The first time I did it, I had a major brain fart, and hooked up the hose in reverse, and blew 2/3 or the quart balls right into the sink, and a lot down the drain, that’s another reason I had to buy so many more packs of balls. In the sink I was able to recapture a bunch that got caught in the honeycomb rubber mat in the bottom of the sink, but it was so STUPID….

To dry quickly, I use an air compressor at a lower PSI.

The alternate way I’ve used, is pouring out the balls into a little plastic container that came with SS304 balls that folks use to clean wine serving bottles etc. I don’t use those balls, but container has a screw on top, and have little vent slots cut into all sides. I can wash directly in this container, then if in a hurry, use the air compressor, or if you don’t own one, the now clean balls will air dry in the container, I simply shook it now and then. Dump them back into the Globe. It’s more convenient to leave them in the globe, but if you don’t own a compressor it might take forever to completely dry. Now if you decide you like having a bit of water down at the bottom to add moisture, then it’s real EASY, wash in globe, rinse well, add back a bit of distilled water, and you DON’T need a compressor.

Works for me, and I try to find the easiest, fastest way to do cleaning chores, because I’m LAZY, and if it’s easy, I’ll do it more, and vaping off CLEAN surfaces is important to me and what’s left of my LUNGS!

I have had more than one mishap cleaning gear in the sink...thank goodness for S-traps!
