Cheap High Quality Bubbler

I would bet that they have some level of quality assurance. That's why the only mess up we have seen recently has been a gouged slit from Sunshinestore and a wrong product sent from Yingmin5, while recently Mobius sent out how many defected units? $300+ pieces?

I agree, there's some level, but it's marginal, or maybe it's consistent with the price? My D020 has bubbles,
a spot, etc, but it's sturdy and functional. I think it's a probably good example of their average quality.
Why do I recieve perfect pieces!
I should just shut my mouth!
Guy's get defects and I feel super bad as if I mis lead them.

I will buy stuff and keep it to myself I guess.

I think it's safe to say that sunshinestore cares about their reputation on dhgate. They have a near perfect rating and their way of doing business reflects that. I think sunshinestore is, for the most part, honest and a good faith business partner and will rectify any problems with their products.

Unlike Kathy and her horrible reviews, her dodgy communication, setting up alternate accounts, fake tracking numbers, and overall shady business.

I've come to realize that we pay $30 to expect lesser quality but not to be disrespected as customers. And sunshinestore and yingmin seem to understand that. And that is why I will buy strictly from them only on dhgate.

The wait is killing me! My no label (fingers crossed- they said it will be no label) 187 is Out For Delivery. I am on the latter part of the mail route so it typically arrives sometime between 3:30 - 5:00 pm local time.

For those who have bought from Yingmin, did you have to sign for the package? I would hate to miss out and have another anxious day of waiting. I will report on functionality later, though I am far from a glass expert.

Anyone seen this? Looks like a combo of D020s...the OG with a bigger can and longer mouthpiece http://www.dhgate.com/product/getPr...89924128&pid=ff80808145a66d590145c23134732d2b

Dang it...I used to know how to post pics directly...I must be too high...:hmm:

Ya know, I am not confident about this. As this is a seller we don't know, and we DO know the tendency towards knocking off, this is more likely to be a knockoff of the D020 with a smaller downstem than a bigger can. This just doesn't look right, and the former is more likely in my mind. If there is another image of this somewhere with dimensions that would help a lot...

Looks like the slits in the perc are fire polished too.

I don't think it is the same perc. Looks like it is only 7 or 8 slits, the D020 has 10 and the slits are much closer together.

What concerns me is how low the mouthpiece is welded to the can. Not much room to stack before you suck the bubbles into the mp.

OK disagree with me, I can't force you to be right
Kathy Alert!

A month after ordering and numerous emails back and forth (filled with excuses and lies)I got a notice from DHGate saying "a refund agreement has been reached. The refund will be made in a few days. We appreciate your patience." At least I'll be getting my money back.

Hope others have a better experience with her...but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I just received my 187! I'm soaking it in ISO right now. There's a slight bummer. There is a bubble below the perc that connects to the bottom. I'm not sure if it will affect the performance, but hopefully not. A few minor cosmetic flaws, but if it functions well I'll be one happy camper! Testing to come.

It appears to function great! I see all the percs firing. I haven't actually used it yet because I am EVO-less for a little bit, but I'm thinking about getting an oil setup. I keep going back on forth on if I actually want to get the oil setup.

Hey FC members! I'm a long time reader and first time poster.

I have purchased many cheap glass pieces and I am going to do reviews on each one along with detailed information about the sellers/websites (some from DHgate and some from other random websites I have found, some good and unfortunately some bad).

I will be able to do these reviews later tonight or tomorrow.

I am glad and very excited that I finally decided to become a fc member and help others out since all of you have helped me out so much with finding great quality cheap glass!

Would anyone else who owns a d020-w tell me if the percs on the right side where the MP is fire first and more often? I just noticed this and thought it was just the way the air is getting pulled, but then i noticed that the slit that had a chunk out of it is the one firing the most. Im pissed.

@MuushuPork I have the D020-W and I haven't noticed this with mine but when I get home tonight I will check mine out and let you know!

That bubble below the perc is there to stabilize the perc to the bottom, and I believe is supposed to be there. Pics always help :brow:

Question to those getting the recent 187s did your tracking ever update to show it being delivered? Mine still hasn't updated from the china sort, but I see people are starting to get them.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm delighted with my piece, I'm not complaining. I was a total newbie to glass before buying it, and I would have had no idea what to get. It was all the feedback here that helped me pick it. I don't think of a few small blemishes as defects, and the price to performance ratio is excellent.

Yeah, I ordered from sunshinestore also, and had an overall excellent experience. Again, I'm grateful for the knowledge I got here.

Here's a video of my first hit with the 187. My EVO is being repaired and I could only find the tiniest piece of tubing to connect my VAP 2.0 so that's why I have to hold it up during the video. I love this thing. After jampbandphan let me know that the connection under the perc is part of the design I would consider it nearly flawless. Again, I am no glass expert. The tilt in the video is from my phone, I just quick set it up to take the video.

So now I have to decide between the GB-187 and the D020-T. Hmmmm... :)
My wife say's to me:

"Another One"?

I would like a 187 as well.

GAS

I have 10 water pipes already and want more still?

After this one arrives I'll have some cool set ups!
The D020-T works better than the frit. (my option)
I like the frit however I like the D020-T better.
SNOOP DOGGY PURPLE KUSH is my medicine!

Exact same problem I'm having! Both look nice, but completely different. I think I'm leaning towards the T.
ataxian's incoming review might just seal the deal for me :p

I did like what that one fella had to say about the T being an improvement over the honeycomb, just wish I could see a video of it X.x

I want a 186 anyone with a link?
