I haven't any idea where my tree perc is and I ordered before Wat, I'm pretty sure.
Though, mine has to travel the Pacific.

Some of those pieces on Smoking J's look pretty awesome for their price given that it's all American glass.
And this guy just looks cool for 100 bucks
I think Wat or someone else posted it earlier. At 7 inches tall it might be the smaller second piece some people are looking for. It looks to be a 14mm joint though, which can limit your options.
In response to that obvious RooR ripoff minibong, the bowl is fused to the downstem, so it'll be useless for vaping unless you have another downstem.

I think i am the originally one shared them 
. Anyway i wanted to add that for me the 4 hole diffusion dome is perfect for vaporization.. not too much not too little . I have doubts on the cleaning easiness.. because of the narrow mouthpiece but.. it can be done for sure . I have experience mostly with that kind of dome perc in my short glass history.. and i am very happy about it .

Sorry Abysmal, cheers to you for showing us Smoking J's, their prices look attractive and some of their glass is very unique.
Maybe I'm being optimistic, but I wouldn't worry one tizzle about cleaning that mouthpiece. I think there'd be enough space for iso+salt to do its magic, and it won't get all that dirty anyway, it's not like anyone on this forum intends to smoke out of it anyway.
If I had money coming out of my ears I'd probably order the little guy, I really like the look of it.

I really liked this design but wasn't sure about the quality. After some digging I found that Custom Creations are produced in the USA, but as one user states:
"The tubes are made in the US by poorly trained illegal mexicans using chinese borosilicate tubing.
The company is owned and operated by some kind of middle-easterners...pakistanis?"
I was kinda hoping that with its small size and at almost $100, this would be better glass.
I wonder what type of glass Smoking J's using?

that's a good question! I'll bet they might answer that if you called them.

BDV brought up an interesting question in another thread-- Has anyone successfully ordered anything from http://www.smartwholesaler.com/ ?
The have some interesting, inexpensive pieces on there, but it has been suggested that maybe they only sell wholesale. Anybody have any info?

mmhmmm... found this pic in my inbox. this is the "mini precision" optimized to be simple and low cost, but still superhigh standards with heavywall glass and made in america.
i'll put more pictures in here as i take more detail shots: http://www.vaporbrothers.com/public/hydrators/

I come across Custom Creations ALL the time. Its the LHS/Tobacco Store go-to "brand name" glass. Well, those and "ROORs".
I've seen a lot of their pieces. They actually make some really nice stuff, even if that story is true. Only problem I've found, is the purchasers at the Tobacco Shops don't have a clue what to order and end up ordering freaky pieces, no one ever buys. The also mark them up considerably, in the shops to.
But again... its nice stuff. Better than 90% if not more, of this thread.

another view. it has 5 thin slits to break up the bubbles really small without the cost of a full showerhead.

These photos need to go on your website. I couldn't tell from the little image on the site that it had 5 slits with a removable 14mm (?) vapor hose adapter. Nice,

Well, after the fiasco with my tube and new inline perc (and it was tragic). Finding those two almost perfect matching pieces was a match made in cheap glass Heaven. After the tube broke, they traded me for a poorly made, pretty good operational scientific perc tube... but I didn't like using the inline with it. Yesterday, I finally broke down and bought an 11-arm "Krave Glass" tree ash/perc. Thing weighs a ton (thick and reinforced). Nothing was going to hold this up, except that scientific tube, with its massive base.
Today, I'm over at my father-in-laws, picking up one of my lights (too much drama going on over there and he's not licensed... to I brought my stuff back, need it anyway). He only combusts, so I'm smoking one of my rare bowls, when I notice the beaker I gave him is HUGE and perfect for that new perc.
I get home and start messing around, setting up pieces and its staring me in the face. I switched the inline to the beaker and the tree to the tube. Holy crap, did they turn out nice and the angles for the perc slides, is PERFECT. Both sit vertical. I think the two pieces... do the Broke Bastards Glass Consortium proud! I'm actually enjoying that crooked ass tube, with that 11-arm. Low drag and even with the air volume, its still easy to get a full rip. My $$$ HQ MiO is getting jealous. I think its going to take a Leviathan to wrest this tube out of my hands.
(excuse the dirty beaker... was combusted in for 3 months)

Is that a crack just below the mouthpiece joint?? Looks like a big mofo crack to me.
Those guys have many percolated water pipes in the 40-120 $

It looks like it might just be a sloppy weld.
From the web site it looks like there are all American (http://smokinjs.com/store/go/about-us/). They feature "no imports" on glass, and claim to make a lot of what they sell. I dig Kmac and Scott Sherrell pipes, Smokin Js sells them exclusively. They said Lucas Paulazzo (he makes the torch dome perc bub mentioned in this thread http://smokinjs.com/store/product/2887/7"-Tall-Scientific-Dome-Percolating-Hand-Blown-Glass-Bubbler/) is from southern Oregon.
Do they even make this??? I'm trying to find the cheapest bubbler possible, without sacrificing quality. I would also like to avoid anything made in China, because FUCK CHINA!!I'm new to glass and am not sure what characteristics make for a better glass piece; I assume that there is an optimal thickness, diffusion style (for vaping at least), etc. I simply can't believe that some pieces are $300+ but again, I'm new to glass and so probably would not be able to appreciate some of the higher end products. Anyway, I prefer something with a little less diffusion to preserve flavor (I believe I read somewhere on here that diffusion reduces flavor, of vapor). If I can't find anything sub-$80-100, I'll probably just get an Ehle 250, but I prefer the aesthetics of a bubbler versus any bong. Thanks for the help, peoples of the FC community.
Btw, it's for vaporbonging with a CRZ (shipped today).
And also, I have skimmed the other threads containing similar content; however, those threads placed emphasis on optimizing quality, whereas I am looking for the cheapest while not being crappy, so mods don't go banhammer on me pl0x
You guys have been talking about cheap bubblers in this thread, but it seems like only glass on glass connections have been featured. Is there any reason you don't like fixed drop stems? Like this one, you get a diffused stem and sand blasting for only $59.99 http://smokinjs.com/store/product/1...ass-Hammer-Bubbler-with-Sand-Blasted-Designs/

Yeah, because that's not a vapor piece, thus "fuck combustion".

Most vaporizers connect to glass-on-glass fitting more effortlessly than a push-bowl.
The underdog vaporizer does well with that type of bubbler though.

Going back thru the thread (looking for some particularly nice pieces I remember seeing in here) and I stumbled onto this. Don't remember seeing it before. Not many details, but that does look like a 14mm fitting, doesn't it?
6" clear glass water bong - $13.99
Adding more as I go along. Another I don't remember seeing.
16" QUADRIPARTITE inline perc - $99
