Cheap High Quality Bubbler

If you skim backwards you see we were discussing the green one, why it is no longer available now, but there are other options like the Gili Glass version... The one you linked, double stereo matrix, is pretty awful in my opinion (matrix perc already way too open with too much diffusion for my own preferred vapes, so two of them even worse)
do you have a link? I can't find it on dhgate

Edit: how does this look to you? for 44 euros

So i was looking for something in between these two pieces with a base and ended up with the last one that i got the seller to make for me.
Nice. I think most bubblers of this size benefit from that kind of nippled mouthpiece (maybe not such a small hole but that kinda thing) and it is the top feature I want from the next bubbler! Not only does it seem to improve the draw/function, it's just more comfortable to suck from, as nipples tend to be !

Sure, this is the one my dude, it's hard to navigate on DHg, but if you skim backwards through this thread you should find all the good stuff!

We have discussed this one here in the past as well, it is the same as the one sold by sneaky pete in the US, it is a very solid option for 14 mm, this is the ideal design for any honeycomb disc perc, because the slitted inline (stemline) perc below it will allow a much smoother pull and full use of all holes etc.

Haha yeah I really don't like flared mouthpieces in general, it's really tough to find one that is the right size, Gili linked above is way too big and wide although if you like that then it's good, it is better than others that were too big and wide for me, and better than some other still that are too small and narrow for me though lol thank you again for using the proper terminology bud, I kind of refer to those narrow mouthpieces as sipper style myself even so ;):D

that one is no longer available
An improved version is now available here,
Edit, I have a double matrix on order as I do like the matrix percs. With the double matrix you want the percs as close together as possible for best results...so I have been told. These are supposed to work great with baller vapes and the reason I finally ordered one, I got mine here,

What makes that one improved? I've eyed these, then there was all the drama surrounding it and I just backed out.

The drama, actually has the improvements, the reason the first one existed there is because it was the earlier prototype batch that CH was not happy with, so the new version should be a little thicker and have a slightly different mouthpiece among others

then I think I'll go with the honey comb, I think I'll use a bzero, thanks for the very useful advice

Edit: I asked what you thought because after this post I wasn't sure anymore 😅😂

Awesome idea! Only thing I wanted to say was make sure you have them open the bottom of the downstem fully, I think it works much better that way with the holes flowing more freely in the perc like the GooRoo style downstem with nine holes
Yeah i had different downstems made for it but i had to pass up on it in the end.the price was to dear for me and the shipping cost made no sense to me whatsoever....They bumped up the price and they wanted 65 euro for shipping which is nuts..I thought i was mistaken and had to ask again. and yep he replied 65 euro

It really depends on who you get to talk with as some of them are really helpful and others are not so much as they say.
Hopefully the person i was talking to all week messages me back as they were really nice to deal with.

Regarding reviews on DHGate and Aliexpress.. A "default 5-star rating" is submitted when the customer doesn't leave a review on the product. That, along with all the reviews that are clearly fake, can make it tricky to determine the actual quality. Having said that, I've been happy with most of the items I've purchased over the years.

Oh damn yeah the language barrier is stuff but I also wonder if the price had to do with that large base and height of the piece? It seems pretty large overall... If you made it smaller with a smaller base or all narrow maybe more like the goo three piece really, it could come out cheaper perhaps??

I wasn't going to get another DHGate bubbler but after my experience with asking around and eventually getting a custom- made piece made by a US glass blower, I will likely have to eat that statement... Bubblers made by people who actually vape should be better / have better quality control but I would not try to get a custom piece from "scene" glass blowers again.

The western glass blowers I have interacted with IRL and online generally do not have the patience to deal with people who don't know the limitations of the job (and the particular glass blower's own limits), they have some atittude and see themselves as artists rather than craftsmen, and this is why most of them don't even do custom pieces.

I also encountered a weird negative vibe when i enquired about 14mm bubblers- I imagine they get asked a lot and are tired of the question but I 'm not sure why they seem to be so against the proposition. Apparently a 14mm piece needs a wider base to be stable so it's probably more work that they don't need to do as they sell enough 10mm pieces? I just said to one of them- "There is a growing number of people vaping flower with 14mm bowls so if you make'em you'll sell them!"

If anyone asked me about getting an original (and more expensive) high quality bubbler I'd say just buy one of the already made pieces (and good luck getting it before it is snagged by someone else) and if you want a custom piece, China is the way unless you have a 4 digit budget...

Well like anything else it must really depend on the individual person, along with the specific content and context....? Anyway I've had good luck with a variety of different experience and different people, built quite a collection of US-made glass now did not expect it to catch up with my China made stuff! If you want customized big pieces, I would reach out to fire within glass, seems more than willing to listen to what might be best function for a vape since his designs or not made that way (tried to encourage him to grab a vape himself so he could more properly make one lol but I was happy with the custom I snagged from him that was made for someone else who bailed on it along with another piece he had made himself, even though they are not my most favorite, they do work well with quite a few of my vapes, I really depends on the exact situation and set up ultimately... I do have plenty of 10 mm now too as a result of my US-made collection though hahaha)

yeah i got it sorted out in the end with the seller.she said the price i was giving with the product and shipping was a mistake by the other person.
Got it cheaper then i thought.

Looks like they've made it available for purchase. Cool design 👍
They always ask can they list it on their site after making a custom piece for someone.They are pretty cool about making just one off pieces for people.Not sure if they are going remove it once it lands here do are add it to their other store.

Trying to think of something different for a j hook now with the seller.

, I would reach out to fire within glass....
Thanks for that. I'll have a look after I've sold some china glass, lol.

Is there an issue with sticking a 10mm to 14mm adapter on a 10mm piece if it is stable enough to stick a chunky injector on it? :hmm: I guess it could become too much of a precarious glass tower...
