Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[Sinclue]

Not sure, don't think I remember seeing different process and shipment times. Check around and see who else is selling that piece id there are any others to see if there's different time periods. If i were you (considering Chinese New Year etc) I would wait until Feb 8-10 to make a purchase, might be worth it to communicate with the seller before hand to double check stock and processing time.

I wonder if there isn't perhaps a backlog of orders piling up that they'll have to go through (hopefully in order)before they can resume anything like "normal" operations?

Thought that might be the case so I went ahead and ordered, esp. since it is close to when they are supposed to be back.

Nice piece bro! So glad I stubmled across this site before purcahsing any new pieces. I just ordered this one!

Quick question though, the delivery time states 25-30 days but the processing time is also about 25-30 days, does this mean I have to wait for 25-30 days processing and an additional 25-30 days for shipping? If so, that's a total bummer! Great price still though, guess I can't complain either way Appreciate the answers, thanks!

It took a month and a half to get to me and in all honesty it was a disappointment, way smaller in diameter than i expected and the water would vacate into the 10 arm if hit normally when filled properly. its so cheap its not really a loss and it makes a great present. the good thing about Chinese glass is that every one is a little bit different so hopefully yours will come in and the 10 arm will be higher. Not trying to be a debbie downer just letting you know

So happy, I was literally checking my tracking info when the bell rang, the sweet post lady with some offerings

These things are tiny, so cute!!

Ordered on the 9th Jan and delivered today the 31st Jan so a total of 22 days to arrive to Spain

And for once I did not have to pay any custom taxes, sweeeeeeeeeeet!

Roll on tonight for some indulgence!!!

So my new glass arrived today from GoGoPipes. The USPS guy literally tossed it in through the open window of my house closest to the front door. Landed on the "Fragile" sticker. F***ing idiots. Fortunately securely wrapped.

Then it turns out not to be what is pictured (http://www.gogopipes.com/product.cgi?group=5941&product=6813). Instead of a full honeycomb disc (as shown) there is a single ring of columns around the outside (fairly widely spaced) of a solid disc. Nobody would look at it and think it was a honeycomb. Not what I wanted. Tried some different water levels in it, but didn't get the diffusion I was looking for.

Too bad since it fit and balanced the EVO quite nicely. About 1.5 inches taller than expected too.

Sorry to hear that bro.I had ordered thru them once ,small piece, same thing happened to me, what was pictured wasnt what shipped,got the run around with them and just decided to eat the $$ and take a loss.Its one of the things you chance with some of these import dealers overseas, but a domestic (usa origin) shouldnt treat us like that.Better off staying with P.D. for the state sided import mkt dealer.They have some issues with some members in the past but for the most part there OK & do try to make one happy.Dont know if you look around I-offer or the Alli Ex. or DH Gate, but those are what most of us have been hitting up pretty regularly and the LONG wait seems to have panned out with some decent rigs at very affordable $$'s Hope they refund or try to compensate you ,see ya round BTW your avatar is the BOMB love it

I hope I do not disapoint but I'll have to stick to my original claim and share it.

After many, many tries, (solo + EQ) it still not working well at all, to the point that I will not even sell it as I could not pass this faulty (I hope and presume) device on to anyone, unfortunately!!

So beware ...

I have finally worked out why my piece is not working!!

I filled it well above the ELB and is leaking air from the weld!!

No wonder I have to pull on it like someone possesed to try to get any thing out of it!

I feel somewhat stupid now not to have seen it before, it is quite a GASH!!

Wonder if anything can be done???

This is great to see!!! They all look awesome next to each other, especially for nabbing them so cheap! All 3 of them almost cost what a small one American glass bubbler costs.

Yeah, it can be fixed. You can even try to torch it yourself to see if you can get it hot enough to mend itself.

 

[SSVUN~YAH]

We might be cheap, but we like clean glass and lots of stackage too! Why not get in on this cheap, high quality deal, @Sinclue hooked us up with!!!

Done and done. Awesome!!

wow thats quite a hole there,but I think with a torch I saw at home depot that you can connect to a small bottle of propane for soldering plumbing joints,I have SILVER SOLDERED with it ,its a turbo type of torch with a swirl pattern flame taken from the idea of flue fires which are very hot. I know you could use a dab of high quality silicone to seal it off. The torch idea i think will do the job,maybe even the small torch lighters I see the dabber community uses,idk,worth a try if yu have one,good luck with the repair,maybe some one will chine in with a fix as well and then from there you'll have options. worse comes to worse you can use it as a carb and not have to remove the vape to clear the can

Thanks for the suggestions!

I have a small torch for dabs, will give it a go, but its inside the main can so might be very tricky!?

I have nevertheless sent an email to Dhgate to see what he thinks...

Must be my lucky day today (apart from the gash) as my PVHE gong from PV has just arrived this afternoon!

Sent from Canada on the 27th and received in Spain on the 31st, how quick is that

I would also love to see this!

Alright alright, I'll try to make my very first (glass) video this weekend...

watch this space...

edit: almost forgot, Happy 100th post to me

I just got overcome by GAS and couldn't wait for the Chinese holiday period to end and then wait for shipping, etc so I thought it was worth a shot. Sent them an email about it, but haven't had a chance to get on phone or chat (if they have one) for some direct answers. The shipping invoice has an automatic request button for Return Authorization. Maybe that will work.

PS-thanks re avatar.

Yay. I mean not for you, but that you found the problem. It should be fixable. You had me worried. Didn't read your review until after I ordered. Thought I made a mistake.

Any body have pics of their dirty Claisen adapter? The more resin mine collects, the easier it is to see through it. And the resin is beading up like water on Rain-X windshield.

 

[jambandphan03]

I haven't been using my claisen yet, since I have the cloudbuddy, but if it makes you feel any better there is a secton of glass on my Cloudbuddy that looks like the oil is beading up instead of evenly dispersing like the section next to it. Might just be really well made glass??? not really sure though...

Might also be water moisture from flower causing it to bead up? Oil doesn't like mixing with tiny water droplets.

 

[alltoreup]

I've cleaned my Claisen at least 5 times and every time the oil has been beaded up. I think it's a combo of moisture and really good glass. My Solo gong creates an even layer of oil, until it runs...

Links are in green.
I been creepin. I'm a noob dabber and I think I need help deciding between some of the previously mentioned budget pieces for my dab rig to be. All I can do is "research mode" until I get paid... I made a list of considerations for my application, sweet right? or just go to the links if you don't feel like consulting lol

1. Under $40 (shipping to California)
   
2. Upright (vertical end piece)
   
3. Maybe I'm naive, but I want it to hit smooth, dense, and delicious, like a buttery-velvet mack truck. That gives you wings. My priorities: potency (mostly density?) > smoothness (ease of inhale) > taste
   
4. Ease of cleaning is kind of important - dome percs and tree percs with a dome are a PITA imo
   
5. Standard issue oil rig accessories are no factor - I have my own universal reclaimer/nail rig already
   
6. Female end preferred for external perc in the future, not a deal breaker. 14mm or 18mm
   
7. Bowl/nail comfortably away from face
   
8. One veteran dabber/budtender I talked to swears that everybody over-diffuses with both air and water - wasting to reclaim, sacrificing potency and taste.

I think there's sense to that notion (that diffusion and potency are inversely proportional) though to what degree idk. Considering this rig will be oil only, no reclaim will be wasted, and I want full lungs of dense smoke/vapor I can hold for 20sec w/out coughing, I think more H20 diffusion and a very modest vapor chamber will produce the desired results! I've boiled it down to 4 that meet the above criteria: (All but the first link have been posted previously in this thread.)

• Dual HC (medium/ heavy perc), medium vapor chamber, old school straight tube design
• Showerhead/matrix (medium perc), small vapor chamber, gooseneck mouthpiece, unique globe freebie
• Single HC (medium perc), medium vapor chamber, gooseneck mouthpiece
• The budtender said, "4 slits in a downstem in a small bubbler is perfect for dabs." According to his wisdom, the winner would be: 4-hole downstem (light perc), small vapor chamber, removable 18.8mm mouthpiece
• I considered the D020... looks good for vaping as people have shown and compact for mobile flower combustion, but too close to the face for dabs imo

Now all I have to do is decide. Given my hypothesis (in pink), and a small nod to the budtender, the link with the showerhead is the most logical but I've never owned a HC piece and I JUST WANT ONE. Like everything else I've never had.

What are your preferred levels of percolation and air volume (and ice?) for a dabbing rig? Am I missing any obvious considerations for finding the best <$40 solution?

 

[SSVUN~YAH]

Welcome to FC @xRUFUSx excellent first post might I add as well! About your choices. I say if you want a hc get a hc, so cross off the lousy matrix, 4-hole downstem, and D020 (not too close for dabs, btw). So your left with the double hc tube, and the blue hc. I have a that blue one on the way and own a similar single hc mini rig. I truly reccomend this piece: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...-CATCHER-Free-shipping/705605_1221046578.html
It's fantastic for dabs, even has a dimple on top to put your concentrate!

Funny, an 'x' before and after your name used to mean that you were straightedge.

When I got my Lotus today, I remembered this post and so tried to use it with that piece. My Lotus won't clear the can on that one by a fraction of an inch. I guess it just shows the discrepancies in their manufacturing.

My D020 arrived today! (I wasn't expecting it?)

Started level 4 on my SOLO.
This thing is like WOW!
Right away I reduce to level 3!
My other bubblers 4 however 3 was more than enough!
STOCK GonG 18mm as well! (thank you @Stu)

So Cheap?
Crazy well made quality?

LOTUS trials next week.

D020 will be getting some use!
