Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Just tested my fritted AC (album here).


If you bought one give it a thorough cleaning before use, there was some kind of paper stuck in the frit on mine..
Sweet, that looks like the 18mm version right? not bad, a little chuggy, perhaps some experimenting with water level is in order... mine still shows its at the local PO so hoping to see it delivered today. I got the 14mm version. I do like the look of the frit, build quality looks decent on yours, how are those welds? I do wish they would add that extra bridge support on these, but still, have yet to find issue with any of my china glass so far, even when the welds look sketchy. I'll be back with some pics/vids once mine is here to play with. Thanks for posting so quickly @063_XOBX

This is what is holding me back. Didn't think it would be much of an issue until I broke one, :(.

Frit looks nice though. Hope they can put one in a bubbler with a base.

Any day now this should arrive.
Bridge supports are a must for me.
Also I'm waiting for the TORO Knock off "TKO". I hope I don't break it the first session since there is no bridge support? If I destroy it the first day my bad for buying it. At least it was less than $30!

Fritted AC is here :) looks pretty good, smaller than I anticipated, but I'm happy about that! I am just getting to know it, welds look sketchy, hoping they stay together. Frit looks nice, fairly even, definitely diffuses well, a little drag to be expected from a frit. Mine showed up pretty clean, I still gave it a good wash but didn't see much dirt/debris. I like my straight OregonGlassBlowers J hook attached to it better than the standard shaped. If I tilt it back a bit, I don't get the chug from the stemless. I still need to put it on other pieces to see how it's gonna work. Here's a quick vid and some pics for your viewing pleasure... over all I'm happy with it :D

Nice review Jam! Just enough clearance for that awesome Lotus, congrats! :tup: USPS still having fun with mine...

Edit- I got it! Wow, it is small. Hold it up to the light and look through the top and bottom is really neat almost a kaleidoscope effect. My first frit and I can already tell I'm going to use this for those harsh reclaims and what not bc it's way too much diffusion for my flowers or good Errl. Tried it with my SOL lace and EFS incycler first with flower and was robbed of the normal great taste. It tasted good with just my jhooks, but still a little more diffusion than I prefer. But it is the prettiest piece I've gotten from China and if your looking for unreal instant clouds and diffusion "the frit is it"!!!

Anyone else getting weird yellowish stuff in their water with the frit AC?
that's vapor oil residue after passing through a frit, also happened with my previous DG frits (which wasn't cheap china glass). Doesn't take long to start forming... I try to reclaim it when I can. I'm really enjoying mine so far. I like turning the stem sideways so I can get a full side view. :D

uh oh, I just discovered a small crack in the side of the can right where the frit lines up... oh well, hopefully it will last a while. I have another cracked piece that is still going strong (american made) and it has a huge crack :p

I'm having trouble ordering the DO20, I'm guessing it's because I want it sent to a friend's house and the billing and shipping don't match. Anyone know a solution?

EDIT: If you plan on buying multiple items, contact the seller before you buy to reduce shipping costs. It seems as if the Aliexpress system isn't capeable of calculating propper shipping costs.

No, but on arrival l treat the glass like it came from a nuclear accident site, scalding water, steam, SimplyG, iso99, coca-cola, washing up liquid, soak for 24hrs in SimplyG water after scalding water and steam, agitation, also fill with coca-cola for several days then soak with washing up liquid for 24hrs, finally iso99 again then scalding water and washing up liquid, lots of agitation then final rinse in firstly hot water then cold for ages to remove all detergent residues..I might even rinse them several times in cold water over a period of days, scrubbing where i can, till finally I can hold them to the sun and see pristine goodness!

I reckon, by the time I'v put the glass through the above process, anything nasty that remains will be indifferent to a little vapour and bubbling water.

There is a certain same smell present when I've opened every box, almost a confection factory type smell but not quite, the smell of industrial china maybe or is this how a glass workshop smells?

OT: SimplyGreen should change their name to SimplyG
 
Hey all,
Just tried to order a D020 from sunshine store on dhgate, but when I went to finalized my purchase, I got routed to a website called "www.securesuite.net" asking for my SSN and various other info. I've ordered from sunshine store before, and I don't remember having to enter such secure info. Has anyone else had to do this? Or does anyone have a link to a store with a legit D020 that isn't sunshine store? I tried Kathy's site, but I wasn't sure if it was a D020 or an LY003 or whatever those are called.
Cheers
