hmm,

the one from ssv seems more appealing, but as OTA says, shipping costs are very high...

hmm, just checked all 26 pages of accesoires without finding any j-hook...am I looking in the wrong place? thx for the help and sorry if this goes off topic a bit, but does seem like a legit question to be able to get a cheap bubbler...

Certainly a worthy topic! In fact, I've thought often on making a bunch of bubblers, just buying some j hooks.
 
BigDaddyVapor,
I held a very affordable GovernMint 9mm tube today at my lhs. I did everything I could to not leave with a custom creations Can with some kind of disc/biscuit perc for 180.
Forgot to mention the 9 mm tube was so solid. Just heavy ass thick glass, nothing to fancy.

I was looking at some of the Governmint pieces after I saw your post. Nice pieces, thickness of glass and quality. But, $300 for a 20" straight tube, with a diffused downstem? No thanks.

Yeah sorry, they definitely aren't cheap, but that same one is 260$ at my LHS. Anything there over 250 is 40% off right now. It has me tempted to get an 4.0 shower in shower, or vivape, or a TV, or a sick VIP quadruple shower head can....I could go on.

Same here :)
But, I told her, do you want me to be grumpy and moody all day long??
She thought twice, and then I got my bubbler :)

That would have worked 6 months ago... been in the doghouse off and on, since then. Kind of like the rice paper on Kung Fu... or in other words @#$%ing thin ice. :(

Just seen this on Etsy. A bargain at $75 IMO (though they do perhaps look a little like a learner blowers produce)- it's about $40ish on the net for the cheapest ti-pad/curve, so $75 for curve and bubbler is pretty good IMO. Female joint too, so good for other vapes. I'd been tempted to buy it myself, but I can't really justify it.

Abysmal my friend could you recommend a good bubbler that I could fit my classic gn0me in the same way I would with Calen's bubbler? thanks man
 
Polmol,
Great finds, Abysmal and FLSkwat!

That Etsy seller's work is a total bargain.

I gotta say I hate having had my own Etsy account temporarily suspended for having a single bubbler up, yet there are people populating their entire shops with them who never get hassled.

Very neat etsy blower.

This one caught my eye, comes with a worked nail, matching oil dish & dabber, and a green female GonG joint :o

$120 +shipping

I can't tell 100%, but it looks like the downstem is not diffused. That would be the way to go for maximum flavor, although I'd still prefer two holes to hit a bit smoother.

edit: looks like the $75 cheap skillet rig has a diffused downstem though, if you look at the 2nd picture. BUT the $65 dome rig looks not diffused too

It is diffused. I can see 4 vertical slits . the problem is the slits are so damn high up on the down stem that it'll have to have a ton of water in it. At least level with where the stem of the mouth piece starts. This is going to cause the user to get nasty water in their mouth. On a piece this small 3 punched holes on the botom of the down stem would be much more preferable.



I noticed a lot of cheap glass but not high quality glass in this thread. A whole lot of china glass. One can find really good quality American made glass if you are patient and know what to look for.

There's a lot of all kinds of glass in this thread. Some of it surprisingly good for China glass. Heck my Vapor Bros knock-off its the same, down to the D cuts on the perc. There's actually a lot of USA glass, to.

Only thing we try to keep it to, is the neighborhood of $100. If you come across deals, for HQ stuff, link it up.

EDIT:
Vapor Bros has this beauty on sale for $89.99 until the 31st. Looks like a nice piece. I like the 5 cut perc, versus the old 3 cut, which I don't think works particularly well. This design, should get a much wider bubble dispersion and better perc.

Vapor Bros Clear Mini Glass Hydrator

(its a bit smaller than the regular hyrdrator. Probably about the same size as the China knock-off.)

ATTENTION BROKE BASTARDS GLASS CONSORTIUM

As the likelihood we will ever see a FC bubbler grows dimmer, I am in need of a decent piece of scientific glass. Unfortunately, I have a very limited budget and am going to get my ass reamed when it comes to light. So... I have to work some minor glass miracles here and it needs to be worth it. I need my brother's and sister's help!

I would like THIS piece, or something damn similar/close to it. I've seen the larger of these on ioffer, at least I'm 99% sure they're the same ones. Same TORO copy (I believe???) and glasswork is a dead ringer (its also like $100 more than the smoketower.ca price). However, I want THIS one. I love THIS one. Showerhead to an 8-arm, I am in love!

Lowest, I've seen it... smoketower.ca which means, I'm paying international shipping, taking me significantly over my $100. The list, I could pull off... shipping from outside the States... ugh. The Black Leaf was going to cost me $25, for the standard shipping, but kept me under that $100 range.

COME ON GUYS/GALS! Find me this piece or a similar scientific for as close to $100 as you can!

12" 8-Arms Switchback Reversal with Showerhead Stem - $134.00

P.S. You're probably asking why I don't save a little longer. Its complicated. Its one of those, I have a chance... grab something, while I can.

Anyone have a coupon code or gift voucher for smoketower.ca?

If I were you'd I'd save more and get something from a reputable blower.

That piece is either:

A) highly misrepresented and the one you'd get would not look anything like that

B) extremely low quality and ultra thin.

circ to 8 with work for $134 sorry but no lamp worker worth their salt is going to sell anything like that for less than several hundred dollars. That is with out a doubt a chinese tube.

You get what you pay for, save up and get something American made.

Buy once, cry once.

I highly recommend glasstafarian

We've had good success in this thread. You would be surprised. As I stated, "saving up longer" is complicated. Very much so. I've got about $100 to spend now, if I don't... its gone.

I've actually read several reviews on ioffer and other sites, about these pieces. These are quite popular and well-made for the price. The Broke Bastards Glass Consortium, has turned many people on, to some pretty nice pieces. I know you're against the China-grade/mention of glass, but they've picked up their game considerably, in just the last year alone.

I'd LOVE a Glasstafarian piece... he's just out of my range however. I'll hit him up... but, I'm not holding my breath. I'd love to have the luxury of ignoring Chinese glass altogether.

Besides, this piece is to get me through the next 3-4 months. Once my crops start rolling in, after my @#$%ing setback (Instead of harvesting 5 on this crop... it will be 2 and one is a rescue). I'll buy a Sheldon Black (not really... don't like much of their stuff)... but, the money won't be an issue, for at least one HQ piece. I'm not in that paygrade yet and its no guarantee, either. I like bargains to. The crappy 6 arm tube I had (with 11-arm ash perc), actually vaped better than most pieces I've tried. Including friend's high $$$ pieces. I got it for $50. It wasn't broken on accident, otherwise, I'd still be using it. Ugly as sin, but solid.

This is the dude that sells the larger version. I was wrong, thought he sold them for $250-$299 range.

Oh noooooo, not China! Heaven forbid! :rolleyes:

Just dogma IMO that is fast becoming out of date.

It would seem to agree with my logic that the only meaningful thing that the Chinese manufacturers aren't capable of nowadays is creativity. The rest you can get what you pay for- those black leaf imitation Luke Wilsons look pretty well finished, but they're not as affordable as the traditional Chinese factory fare with sloppier finishing.

And TP did you notice that this thread is actually about cheaper ~$100 pieces? If you're just gonna come in and shit on everything that 'cheap' then you'll be here a lot.

edit, nevermind, bdv made the point posted whilst I was looking for the video
