Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Ok, just got my D020 knock-off, the LY003. It is what it is, lesser and thicker slits. Overall the piece looks not to bad, but they even got the sizes wrong. About 1 inch less in diameter and .5 less in height, I added that to my "friendly" message to guisheng cheng. I will keep you up to date how it plays out.

Edit: Just gave it a try, its not to bad. The biggest issue is finding that water sweetspot, a drop to much and you gargle vapor water, one to less and its closer to a dry hit. I guess 10, nice, thin slits would give a better diffusion but as I said, not to bad. I advise my fellow plagiarism victims to give it a good iso clean before first use though.

An Inch really that sucks, the Dozo is 5 cm - 1inch (2.54 cm)= that makes it vey very thin indeed!!

Well, I just got my first glass order from China. I got the inline to HC (http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6014715509.html) and this one:

(http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6014715510.html), both from Kathy on AliEx.

Unfortunately, there are lots of problems with the glass and with my order. First of all, I didn't receive one of the sets of nails/domes/adapters. (I was supposed to get two sets) The glass itself is scratched in places, has what looks like little cracks in a couple places, the gong joints don't fit properly (considerable amount of movement- I don't think the removable mouthpiece on the piece pictured above even fits to the bubbler with an airtight seal), and the stemless joint on the HC is very crooked. (although my cloud does balance on top of it with a claisen adapter in between them)

Having said all that, I just tried the HC and it's very functional. I milked the hell out of it with my fakeCloud+. It's my first time using a HC so I can't compare it to the earlier aliEx HC or any other HC, but I may be the first one here to get this new HC design with the stemline so if anyone has any specific questions I can try and answer them.

I'm kind of disappointed with what I got, although I'm pretty new to glass so I'm not sure how much of this is just par for the course when ordering from these chinese glass blowers. I'll notify Kathy of the problems and see what happens. Also, I'll try and upload some pictures and/or videos later.

Damn you, party liquor
Good job on posting that info guys. Would be nice to have a FAQ or sticky to summarize the key points we've learned.

I didn't realize, I needed to go into DHgate site to confirm delivery, so the vendor gets paid. They never notified me about that. I would have thought they'd stress that more.
I didn't know that either and have never gotten a reminder. I've had my D020 since early January. I just went in and completed my order. Thanks for the heads up.

Oh man. I got my d020 in November and it was still awaiting confirmation. I feel bad now but they should have sent a message. Now it says "Buyer Accepted Goods/About to release payment to seller" on my order status. Aliexpress sent me an email to complete the transaction within an hour of receiving the order when their tracking system noticed it delivered.

The inline to HC is not as smooth as I thought at first. Or, it's nice with the cloud with a hard pull (it stacks too), but it isn't smooth enough to give a satisfying slow rip with my lotus. It kind of chugs I guess is the term. Like, several bubbles spurt out and then there's a bit of resistance, and then a few more spurt out. It doesn't purr. It's not smooth.

I have a really hard time keeping track of this thread cause it moves at break neck pace.
  • Wow that frit a/c looks really amazing!!! :rockon:@lovinlivinlife
  • I am unsure as to the DH/Kathy/AE thing. I saw there was the batch of weird do20s from AE but is that the extent of it?
  • @wisherly Is the inline slit on the top or the bottom? I agree the one my roommate has is not great for vaping but he mainly combusts

I got to test drive my piece from GlassPipeMaster.Com last night and HOLY SHIT! Its THE BEST piece Ive ever used with my Evo. Its smooth, no chug and has great diffusion. I dare say, its better than my Mobius.

Its not as cheap as a lot of this Chinese stuff but its definitely a piece I would recommend people adding to their collection.

Actually, there are three slits on each side. Does that mean inline is the wrong term? Either way, it doesn't fire all that smoothly although it does seem to diffuse pretty well.
No correct term, I was just curious because my roommate's is 4 slits on the bottom, It definitely has a chug while the bubbles reach the HC.

Looks kinda like a 4 arm tree that doesn't branch out. Helicopter perc maybe?
I think the one you're talking about is this one, right?:

Looks like a "helicopter perc" to me. I haven't tried it yet with herbs. It's a sizable piece- bigger than the inline to HC (here: http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6014715509.html),
and I like the removable mouthpiece and the dewar joint on the "helicopter" piece. My cloud fits directly into the top and sits very stable. I'll test it out in a bit.

Better than a Mobius, here's something you don't read very often! Could you be the one that shatters my "Oh god I'd love a Mobius" dream?

Can you remind us PoopMachine what piece you're talking about and any chance of a vid of that winner???

That's crazy, right? they're in business to make money, why aren't they following up?

That sucks you are missing parts, hopefully they will send them to you? The Dozo was my first glass piece,
so I really didn't know what to expect. If I look really close, there are some small bubbles, and a crack (I think of it more like a fracture, it's at the Dewaar joint, and totally immobile) in the glass. The mouthpiece isn't perfectly straight either, but the overall look is great. It's a solid piece, gives great hits and was an amazing value!
