Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[Gammy]

So I finally went with the Gogopipes bubb It's awesome!! The glass is really thick and it stands on its own pretty well. I might build a little wooden nest/stand for it just in case though. I'm waiting for my Gn0me WPA to try it out and I'll post a video when I do. Here's a few pics:

Stop trying to give me GAS
(so tempted to get one)

It weighs 271 grams and fits comfortably in my hand. I like that there's nothing written on it, makes it look pure in a way.

 

[deadc0ffee]

Stop tempting me! I already have this

They should have left off that enclosure around the showerhead. Sigh...

That was my first thought when I saw it too. I wondered why they bothered to cover it, less diffusion, more fragile, less volume. Doesn't make sense to me.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Anyone interested in this piece might wanna wait: I just noticed that it's broken. You can even see it in the first 2 pics... The breakage is subtle, I didn't notice it until I decided to clean the bubb with alcohol and it splashed all over me as I was shaking it.

I contacted gogopipes about it, hopefully it won't be too much of a hassle exchanging it.

But shit. Sucks.

 

[Gammy]

Okay they are sending me a new one.

 

[Ontariovapes]

I never had a doubt that they would. Glass is glass. Sometimes it breaks on its trips around the world. It's good to know they stand behind their product

Yeah I'm really glad they made it easy for me, too. I just had to send in a few clear pictures of the breakage. I would've been pissed if they had asked to get the broken one back before sending a new one. +1 for Gogo

So you got better customer service from Gogo tha you can get on the $500 cloud unit from Vapehhale. They require you to report glass problems within 24. Hrs of receipt and will only ship replacements after they get your old one. Cudos to Gogo!

I don't own a cloud or have any allegiance with them, but I'm not sure thats really a fair comparison. A 500 dollar unit produced by a handful of people with a customer base most likely in the 4 digit range compared to a large cheap glass seller with undoubtably a higher profit margin. They can afford to just replace a cheap (no offense) piece of glass without worrying about who caused what damage etc.

Even if it was a 500$ piece from alt, they might have you send it back before just taking your word and replacing it, and they're much larger than vxe.

Good point.

And yet I think that with good pictures showing the break (at the same time they could ask for the receipt to show in the picture), any company should send a replacement immediately and then ask for the broken piece returned. I think that is what good customer service is (ESPECIALLY for high-priced items)

This looks pretty nice - and at $50 the price is right - someone jump on this

 

[Gammy]

That site has the worst pictures... nice find though Fred

What size if any is the Gong on the mini mini?
Power came on after the FC bubbler sale so this looks like a good alternative.
edit
sent an email ,tried calling but got an answering machine.
OK They have 14 and 18,which is best?
I have a solo and am on the Hi line.
also use a nylon zap stem on my No2.

whoops cant delete...

According to the link posted by Fred:

"Comes with a 14 ice pinch slide and a 14>10 slitted diffuser, diamond cut with 6 slits."

Does that mean a 14mm slide or is it a 10mm slide?

 

[BigDaddyVapor]

14mm slide

What do you guys think of this Small Vertigo bub? I know its not under $100 but with the black Friday sale I am eying it up pretty hard.

I had not seen that size before, thanks. The medium version of it with the ten arm perc has always been one of my favs, except for the logo.

 

[kingofnull]

except for the logo.

That's pretty much all I was going to say against it. There are a lot of options at ALT in that price range mind you.

 

[OhTheAgony]

Haha, I know, but only a few of them meat all of my own personal demands unfortunately.

Other ones are the Ions and one or two of the Manifest bubs, but that's about it. But we're probably in the wrong thread to discus any of those..

 

[Gammy]

How is a piece of glass worth 200$? Is it really worth that price? Can someone explain to me the breakdown of the cost?
