Cheap High Quality Bubbler

So, on friday my delivery from Kathy Hu came in, got the HC bubbler and the hammer bubbler with 4 arm-perc http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6026553600.html

The 4-arm perc bubbler is great, except for the kinda ... SEXY design of the mouthpiece. Could only find one tiny scratch so far, glass feels nice and the perc works great. Really great piece for on the go.

The HC bubbler is ... just horrible. The glass is coverd in scratches, red marks and general glass imperfections. Everything about it is crooked, the base, the body, the GG, the HC, everything has its own angle. The inside looks dirty and foggy, tried to clean it with everything at my disposal, no chance. Will try again when my PBW arrives but I don't think it will help. Gave it a few test runs anyway after giving it the salt & ISO shake twice followed by soaking it in a dishwashing detergent. When you get the water level just right and hold it in a way to counteract the crooked angles, the HC seems to work very good, bubbles stack nice and there is hardly any chug. However, if you put it down on the table, it chugging like there's no tomorrow. Really sucks, the HC disc itself seems to be done pretty good.

In other news, my stemline perc to HC got sent to the wrong adress. In case any of you guys is from Italy, you may get a glass piece in the mail soon. For free.

Videos will follow, cought a bad cold and spent most of the weekend in bed :zzz:

Sorry to hear about that hc @Herr_Dampf but I do agree that hammer bub is sweet. No confirmation yet from @Meghan but they do appear tinier than the first batch. Which is cool with me, I dig the size of mine.

Oops, missed that!

Mine was a 14mm joint, so I'm not sure whether they've shrunk or not. I do agree about the phallic nature of the mouthpiece, though. I couldn't use mine without my wife giving me a lot of crap about the image it presented. ;)

Great function, though!

Lol, I totally agree and you were spot on with your review, it is awesome with Lotus and dabs! Thanks for the awesome review and reply! This is a fitting icon for today! :cheers:

What do you guys think about this? Sunshine store is calling it a birdcage perc

IMO it looks very very nice for the price! The perc seems kind of high which might throw water up into the mouth stem, but then again it might not do that at all, IDK. If it does all you'd have to do is fill the water to a level a bit below the top perc. In any case, looks well worth it to me!

It could work (depending on the size of the can) but it almost certainly won't work well.
I will wait until I see a video in action!

In the meantime I wait for two new pieces this week to arrive. However the D020 from ghate has become my driver of late! I have expensive pieces I haven't used because my D020 bubbler works better?
Something is weird?

@ataxian - not weird at all - you're giving us valuable info - that the D020 can hang with the big dogs :nod:
I was looking at a very expensive glass piece made in the USA and it is nice however I feel more comfortable taking the D020 to my back deck outside with a vaporizer.
The weather is so sunny and warm.
I'm afraid to take expensive glass to the back yard. If the weather stays this nice until next fall I don't think I'll use my expensive stuff. I hate to vaporize indoors. Last nice I was wearing a T-shirt in my back yard with no chill at all! The D020 I take with me wherever I go. I love water path. So I bought 2 more pieces from ghgate to fill this need.

Some of the designs are totally lame.

However even a squirrel finds a nut sometimes!

Dabs are vapor too!
So do you find that a bigger piece gives you bigger hits? Sometimes I want something larger, just to make it easier to use with a plug in like the 'nano.

Thats not been my findings. My Apollo atomic perc piece and my Everest Glassworks recycler are both smaller than my Mobius and they give way bigger hits than the Mobius.

Bigger lungs give bigger hits, ;).

I find it is easier to see the milk in a bigger piece. But I'd say hits could be smaller because the time it takes to prime a piece, you could waste half your breath.

But if you have big lungs and can easily fill a big chamber, nothing beats watching a chamber clear. Makes for great videos too, lol.

The D020 works with the NANO, SOLO, LSV & even the VAPOLUTION 2. However I have this piece kind of large that I negotiated a $100 off from the SMOKE SHOP Owner that only works well with a ash collector.
My LSV is amazing with it setup correctly. My NANO I haven't tried yet! The SOLO works best with a D020 so is been my driver lately.
The LOTUS took me a while to learn and I have a new torch lighter coming for it. However I have the LOTUS working well. I would buy more vaporizers however I barely have time to use the ones I have.
I use them all really. The glass path makes them all work amazing if paired correctly.

Today I dropped a box of glass adapters. It seem's I broke a dabbing globe I haven't used in a long time and a stem for a old bong I don't use.

Should get a decent amount of reclaim from the globe. Those 9mm slides are a bitch to find these days though.

I dropped my 18mm 45° adapter from ogb last night and it bounced a couple times intact.

I make my own shatter because reclaim grossed me out!
ABV I throw away as well.
I like fresh wax and flowers well cured. It's a bummer my taste buds are so sensitive!

I just took a dry quart of abv, infused it into 750 ml of everclear, then reduced the resulting 8 oz all the way down to barely-pliable goo. I took half of it for dabbing, and the other half got re-hydrated with some pomegranate liquor and raw manuka honey as a tincture. It makes a fine product if you're out of flowers!
But yeah if I had your garden and dispensaries available to me I would not bother with any of that :dog:
