I am looking for something similar to the price and style of the D020, but with 14mm instead of 18mm.
Where should I be looking?
Don't you have adapter's?
18mm to 14mm reducer! (must have)

I found that with another bubbler I have I like the 14mm x 14mm female coupler for the TKO (TORO KNOCK OFF) Little! I used the NANO this afternoon with it and it was devastating.

Tomorrow the LOTUS and SOLO.
The D020 is so amazing I use it everyday! Works with all my stuff.

Thanks Q.

Two main reasons why I was looking at 14mm:

1) Drop in fit for my Lotus WPA.
2) No adapters mean less pieces to manage while off the grid.
Check out high temp silicone. As I stated in the Lotus thread it's awesome and you can manipulate it to fit nearly all joints. Trust me it's cheap and works great, you can even use your old spoons and sherlocks with combustion bowls this way. Just slip a small piece over wpa and let hang 1/4"-1/2" past wpa. If you want it to fit 18mm just flip the overhang over the wpa creating a plug, or you could double layer your silicone. The possibilities are endless and awesome!

I don't know if this is similar enough to the D020, but I really enjoy this little thing. The looks are bit questionable but functionality is excellent, also its pretty much the best crafted piece of china glass I own.

If you can get over the looks of the mouthpiece, you get an excellent little bubbler.

I received today my HC bubbler from Kathy HU, the better of the 3 bubblers I ordered to her and the more expensive (it was only 35 usd free shipping!), it's little bit bigger than my D020 and it's really smooth, I like it already!

I ordered too 2 glass nail, I thought domeless, but it seems that it's just combstion bowl, here the link

What do you think, is it domeless glass nail, or just combustion bowl? I don't understand what to do with it.....

And here the link for the HC bubbler: http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/honey-comb-glass-ash-catcher-glass-water/183730519.html

Yeah, it's a female bowl, for combusting flowers on an oil rig. I guess you could use it as a domeless nail but anything bigger than a hummingbird dab would run down the hole in the middle with the airstream and mostly smear down the neck of your piece (and into the GonG seal). Sounds like enthusiastic marketing by the individual that wrote the copy text for the listing, to me, rather than an actual intended use by whomever actually makes the things.

I would love a HERBIE and a CLOUD EVO however I can barely handle the ones I have!

If I at least could win the LOTTO I could own things I'm not ready for!

Glass I love and wish I had the high end stuff. However the Chineese stuff if you are lucky is pretty functional.
The D020 is my daliy driver.
The "TKO" I used for the first time with the NANO and the BLUE vapor clouds were sweet as candy!
Now the cheap low income ASH COLLECTOR saved a large water pipe from me hitting it with a heavy hammer. Now my big water pipe is awesome!

This cheap stuff is functional as least!

Later this year I will buy more vaporizers however GLASS path is medicating me correctly for now!

Hey Ataxian,

So you finally recieved your TKO....can i ask does it have a 14mm conection or is it 10mm. I ask as the one i ordered has a 10mm connection and i'm sure the product description on DHgate states its "all 14.4mm"

Thanks!

It comes with a 14mm male.

I use a Female 14" coupler for my LOTUS. I'm no expert however I think for the LOTUS the TKO is awsome.
10mm male is a good Ideal!

I think OREGON GLASS BLOWERS could make a 14mm female with a 10mm male fitting for the LOTUS.
I will use my 14mm female coupler and the SS adapter for now.
I break stuff all the time so I like the SS adapter personally.

I use the D020 the most for my other vaporizers. The TKO I thought would be good for my NANO however it's perfect for the LOTUS in my unqualified option!

This is my set up for the LOTUS!
I take a more civilized approach to concentrates.
7.4 Volts is so much less work!

Sure beats manual labor!

@Herr_Dampf - How big is that? I saw a similar one somewhere else that listed it as 10" somehow.

Guys!

I came home, expecting to see only my new Lotus Vape, but was pleasantly surprised to see my D020! (WT's are still in China)

The quality is great! Exceeded my expectations! The joints are great, the only 'problem' I see is a few chips on the slits, not an issue at all.

Glass newb question - how much water do I add? Do I cover the slits, or do I leave slants slightly uncovered?

I tried different levels with the D020 and I found that if I cover the slits it draws better. We are are different of course. In my case it worked.

I just got the TKO and last night with the SOLO detroyed me.
Since it's after 6PM I will test it with the NANO at level 6. Last night level 7 was way too much. Put me out cold!

Tomorrow the LOTUS will be put to the test.

So far I love the D020 the most!
The TKO I'm glad to own however the D020 is better than my $300+ pieces?

This tiny TKO is kind of interesting.
It was cheap and I feel the LOTUS will pair well!

Pretty hotly debated subject in this thread, I like to fill just a bit over half way but there's others who swear by filling it above the slits.
Hence the question - all the pictures I saw showed various levels above and below.
Ultimately I settled on filling slightly above the slits - felt 'right' to me.

Happy to hear it, I love the d020! Cleaned it with some PBW and hot water before testing. The lotus is amazing, but it's my first day with her, I've already managed to combust! Had to re-clean everything!

She's beautiful though, I thought it was bigger when I ordered it, but now I'm really pleased with the size!
 
@ataxian - glad to see your TKO finally turned up and that you are loving it :) God damn that Kathy Hu. I got my refund from her but I would have preferred the bubbler. I keep looking and looking for a 14mm bubbler but they are hard to find. I want something as small or smaller than the D020. Oh well, will keep looking I guess. Is anyone familiar with the Roor Blue Series 100. It is genuine and only $85. It is only 23cm which is attractive to me. Its just a bong and not a bubbler but I like it;

Any opinions? I am looking for something small and with 14mm joint to pair with an E-Nano. Cheers :)

BONG's have too big of a mouth piece for me.
However if you don't mind?
I think its more of a personal preference?

The D020 is still my favorite all around bubbler.
The TKO is small and works well however I'm thinking for my wax pens or a LOTUS for a perfect pairing.

The NANO was good on the TKO however I like this better:

My SOLO even worked?

I know it's big.
The setup is very cheap however functional!

Small is good.
When I have time the bigger volume is good too!
I like to mix it up.
I have a box full of adapters so it doesn't matter if the piece is 14mm or 18mm.
The key adapter that is a must is a 18 to 14mm reducer bushing.
@Quetzalcoatl posted a really good one he found for $9.99
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nobilis-18m...066?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c34fd3e42
I paid $10 for 2 however the quality is sub standard.
When I break mine I'll buy these better ones.

Water Adapters 14mm or 18mm!

GLASS PATH for WAX

I use to use whips however the taste (flavor) is horrible for me.
Glass so far taste the best.
My taste buds are very sensitive!
For others not an issue!

Medicating can be fun!

@ataxian Wow dude. Just wow. You have some really cool stuff setup there. I hope you get to enjoy plenty of Californian sun and air by your pool there :) thanks for the tips. I'm still really new to glass so I'm scared of adapters and connectors and that sort of thing. But I need to bite the bullet No LHS for me so it's trial and error. It's embarrassing to admit but I have trouble differentiating between male and female joints. :ugh: I'm learning fast though. I think I need a 14mm male to male adapter but not sure exactly. :rofl:

GBD offer a excellent adapter package that pretty much covers most situations:
