Here's the video on it. Excuse the background, trying to add some quick contrast. I wanted to be a videographer in my younger days... oh well. No regrets.
I'm a n00b in regards to glass. Back in my day (the 80s), I had a very expensive (in 1985), yet paper thin, glass bong. It broke, cleaning it one time and that was the end. I had a few ceramic and lots of plastic pieces. Lot of dry pipes to. Switched to vapor almost 20 years later and never a desire to go back to combustion. That makes my vapor experience and medicinal rather limited, about 10 months. I've only used a VG Bat (which wasn't very positive) and my MFLB. I'd really like to try some of these log vapes I've seen. And of course, a Volcano. Not really interested in other portables, as I haven't seen a single one as versatile, effective and simple/brilliant design/engineering.
In regards to the bubbler. As I've said, its definitely Pyrex. I'm guessing, by the mouthpiece thickness... 2.5mm. Body feels/sounds a bit thicker, so probably 3mm. Not stellar, but for $40... sturdy enough. Plus, at the time... I'm the only one using it and I handle all glass like its nitroglycerin.
This is my favorite piece, in my limited cheap glass collection, along with the dome perc water pipe, earlier in the thread... running a close 2nd (or depending on the mood). The dome perc pipe/bong is harder to judge your vapor intake, until you're clearing the chamber and find out, "oh shit! huge rip!". This piece however, provides immediate feedback. The percolation provides enough bubblage (new word) IMO, to sufficiently smooth the hit and give that feedback. Though, I would prefer the percolation to be dispersed a bit more evenly over the length of the slits. A showerhead would have been PERFECT on this. I don't even know what to call this?
Even with the Mickey Mouse'd whip, there isn't any noticeable drag and there's good feedback with the flavor and condition on the trench. This also allows hard pulls to to "stir", clear and cool your trench. Plus, it really packs an extra punch into your rip. You feel like you got a couple lungs full worth. Hold my breath, long as I can and if the heat is dialed in properly (finally getting this warranty MFLB to break in) getting a noticeable stream of vapor on exhale. Now need to find that sweet spot full rip, none wasted. Exhaled vapor, is wasted vapor.
I also like it, because of its size, ergonomics and design. Very comfortable to 2 hand MFLB and glass.
To wrap it up, this piece (and the previous one) are EXCELLENT BUYS, especially in regards to value (2 air/water tight integrity, decent thickness, decent glass and enjoyable vaping for $80 total). With the web order on the bubbler from Pipes Daddy, I was pleased with the rapid response and free shipping resolution. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable and classier looking piece of glass, than most no-name shit on the market and better than 80% of the shit sold in shops, especially "tobacco shops".
Please be gentle on my n00bness.
EDIT: Anyone know where I can get this whip setup (are the whip adapters different sizes, besides the joint?), this is exactly what I need.
