Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Is there a clear indicator that a piece is going to suffer from blowback? Both of my DHGate bubblers have it.
Fat vertical downstem, big airy perc (matrix, etc). I've retired a megaglobe, D020, and GG barrel perc. I do use a valve where it's worthwhile, but I don't bother anymore with a piece where blowback's inherent. Got tired of sweeping up debris.

guessing the more water used to pull through the glass bowl part, if it is high the more water to go back to normal levels from being pulled on will cause the air from the water moving back to normal to push your herb back.

a piece that require not much water, not sure about a recycler though...maybe the tornado will make it climb back slowly and make the air not push fast an a instant.

meh idk ; ;

Is the issue improved at all when you use one of these?

I'd imagine it would work better if the angled joint was bigger tho.

What CB said, stay away from dewar down stem and matrix perc style

why are lots of people using extremely high water levels in a incycler? the vortex from high water levels doesn't filter or give any benefit to any vapor/smoke?....it's just basically an enhanced splash guard? Mine with barely any water gives nice small little bubble percs while filling it up high will give huge bubbles that I can pull in hard but way less flavor that way.

I hate this sidecar matrix so bad. dhgate going to end up making me wait 45 days I bet for this package. Hoping to get away from this sidecar and get that fab egg 18mm piece, last 60 days gave me definitely the wrong time frame and the crap doesn't even show it in the USA yet after 16 days+.....ugh hitting this klein with a whip is awfullll, waiting on my mouthpiece too. :(

this would work if you keep the carb cap off before releasing the pull, all exess air will go out the carb cap and not hit your herb, blowing it out the carb cap, might not cause the herb to even move much if not tamped, but with barley any tamp it should hold down easily with that setup

the air would go to the easiest path of resistance? the air would have to take a path which is to the least resistance but making it cut the corner will add to it but, if it's been barely tamped then you shouldn't have to worry about blowback that much. it's a nice piece to have regardless, test it out for us! i'm not 100% sure.

Thé vortex helps cool the vapor. If you don't get the vortex, it is indeed basically an intricate splash guard. I can imagine if you use it with less water the flavor will be good, but the trade off is the loss of function/cooling. In this case, if you don't need the cooling, a different piece would have my preference, that is designed to be used with little water.

i grabbed that 1 dhgate, troy knockoff looking bong. looks to have a huge fab egg in the middle and 18mm. looked decent.

Not sure which piece to even grab for milky hard hits. I figured this would be my last one for a while and test the klein with the new mouthpiece. using a glycerin one that is frozen to the touch when puttin my lips on it, is not fun at all. f that

Maybe it is my imagination but I have found that I can manage blowback with good timing on pulling the carb plug. Also I keep the water level pretty low.
You're right, those usually do the trick. I just get stoned and forget, apparently, a lot more often than I have patience for! For some reason it's easy to use one with the intent to clear the chamber, while the intent to mitigate blowback runs smack up against a head full of vapors!

And don't know if you spotted this thread already but might also be worth a look: https://fuckcombustion.com/threads/...tional-water-pieces.52314/page-2#post-1696004
Thanks I am reading through this thread now, hope it won't confused me more.

I don't know what you're exactly after and what vape you plan on pairing it with the most, but fwiww Inteally enjoy white walling this piece https://calibearglass.com/collections/water-pipe/products/natty-flower-bong
This looks very neat.

I also found some very attractive bubblers at TAG, but the shipping costs are too high and shipping costs are taxed also here.

Free international shipping with CaliBear and o only had to pay 7€ for customs (6€ of that was administrative fee). With the 30% discount code it is quite a good price. Shipping from TAG is high, I added the TAG klein incycler I posted above to a pre-order I have with them to combine shipping cost. It might also be worth it to inform with sellers if they can lower the amount declared to customs, so your extra costs won't be as high.

@condition heres a function video of that piece:

I received today, Sunday!, a Grav Upline Upright Bubbler copy from DHGate. I like it very much but it also needs to draw aggressively. It took in total 3 weeks to EU. This is the original, but it is highly recognizable.

Still one of my favorite pieces. I'm not a huge fan of restrictive draws generally but this hits my sweet spot. Think this still gives me milkier, denser hits than anything else I own. (Other favorite is recently arrived Rick Bird Barry scalloped Milkball but that's a pricepoint ($250) outside the parameters of this thread).

Yes more restriction in a piece typically means better "milking" although typically another piece is not hurting the density of vapor, you are just inhaling more of it instead of showing it off in the piece...

What's your favourite recycler then?

I think I said, that I like the single uptake klein style, where it is separate piece, I have posted so many here, I mentioned in another thread just now that my favorite for herbs is not even available anywhere anymore...

Yeah that piece is effective, interestingly, the photos for it, list photos of yellow and green accented versions, that have different downstem, they seem to be identical to the ones that were available on DHgate less than a couple years ago from this seller... Furthermore they have this available:
Which seems to be the exact big baked potato bong I got from DGCglass here previously... That tells me that CB source their glass from different places instead of always the old CCG shop probably?

I also didn't notice this one before, funky straight fab, taller overall, with three smaller fab sections, separated by four pillar columns, more of a recycler now I suppose:

Contemplating if I want to get a spare regular straight fab in another color perhaps, they call it V2 so I'm not sure what exactly is different if it is the same as mine... Seems like the body shape is slightly different and the mouthpiece shape? Meh more expensive for the nice colors anyway (boo smoke lol)

This seems like a good value though:

I have that without the sandblasting. Was 80 before discount I believe. Very happy with my purchase.
