Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[DieHard]

The baby cake came mummified in bubble wrap. No box. Label on the outside said "glass bottle" in the description. (Probably for US Customs). Marked "Fragile" and "Handle with care".

 

[PoopMachine]

Before we had double Claisens, we did a crazy adapter stack. Mrs PoopMachine getting it done....

 

[ataxian]

Currently in testing phase. Needed to break out Big Ella to handle all that extra weight.

Early results indicate medication levels = BRUTAL.

That's the little Kathy mini-cake chilling by the bio can.

Now that's what I mean!

I've had a read through the thread and havnt seen anything mentioned about the wp 010

http://www.dhgate.com/product/wp-010-two-functions-hand-blown-glass-vase/166215931.html

Any thoughts about it? Im thinking it would be nice because the water level can be very low and still function.

Sorry if this piece has been covered before.

Also, has anyone worked out if there is a definite quality difference between kathy and ss or is it just luck of the draw when it comes to quality?

This one's been brought up before, possibly under a different name. I think someone got one that was fine and another person had one with slits cut too small which made it so hard to draw through it wasn't very functional.

 

[syrupy]

Now that's what I mean!

Two takes, two naps later...way too big a water tool, but that was the only one that would stand up hands-free. Oil kept going, I was done after two draws.

The adapters are all Chinese from dhgate. I see what @ataxian was saying with LEGOS.

I need more connectors. Oh Kathy....

 

[BoogerMan]

I decided to stop by my po box today and I had a couple nice surprises. Merry 710

Items that arrived:
1) WJC Mini from Sunshinestore
2) Showerhead Tripod from Kathy0577
3) 14mm Direct Inject Ceramic Nail from eBay
4) The Lotus Vaporizer with WPA



First off the WJC Mini
http://www.dhgate.com/product/glass...c/196919979.html#myaccount_orderdetail-1-null

Mine is almost perfect. A few tiny imperfections here and there, but the perc and everything else is straight (slits are poorly cut but function fine). One of my "cleanest" pieces from DHgate. Sorry to those who didn't get a good one It really seems like the luck of the draw. That's why I like to order two or three if they are cheap and just pick out the best one then sell the others to friends for cheap Some of the glass blowers in the factory must have more experience than others and whoever made this one has been blowing glass for a while.

It has been said before, but I will repeat it. The inner diameter of the 14mm joint is too small to fit most direct inject domeless nails and most titanium nails that go with a dome. There is some good news for fellow concentrate users that like domeless ceramic I got this 14mm direct inject ceramic nail in from ebay today and it fits perfect!! I got the last one from the seller I used but here is a 2 pack for cheap and it also looks like some Hong Kong sellers are posting them on ebay for $8.99 with free shipping!

Now onto the Showerhead Tripod from Kathy:
http://www.dhgate.com/product/new-g...r/194443957.html#myaccount_orderdetail-1-null

This rig is in pretty good condition too. Not too many defects at all. The mouthpiece is slightly crocked, but not a huge deal. Pretty thick and the ball chamber is good size especially because the perc is at the very bottom (the perc is reinforced too). The showerhead perc is great. I wish the plant rig was this size with this perc and with a little longer mouthpiece, but I'm kind of dreaming now lol.

And my Lotus. Nothing to say that already hasn't been said. It is wonderful, powerful, and very convenient. I am a happy customer

 

[syrupy]

Came home to a small brown package on the welcome mat. Can see the customs form on the outside of the box. Inside there's a big ball of bubble wrap. As I open it, little pieces of glass fall out. Argh! Then I look again, and this mini-cake is so tiny, I thought it must be broken!

The oddest thing about this rig is, it looks nearly perfect. I can rotate it around and there's no flaws, and only the slightest out of round on one of the layers. The dome is completely flawless. Someone took their time with this one.
It's almost eerie coming from DHG.

I really like the dome, and want to hit this with boro or quartz flat or diveted nails. I can't find a good source in 10mm. With the tiny nails I want to get high quality because the poor little nail takes quite a beating.

first purchase from dhgate, highly recommended mine turned out great. thick glass nice functionality.

Interesting new piece from Kathy - http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/two-function-double-honeycomb-shower-umbrella/198973750.html

The description is a bit confusing, but I think it has 3 percs?

 

[Nugg]

@ohdono which seller did you purchase from?

I think they are calling the splash guard a perc

 

[Throwie]

Yeah, I guess that's the "umbrella perc", bit too much diffusion for my tastes. I went ahead and finally ordered a good ol' D020-W (aka the D020-D with sidecar mouthpiece)

Next on my list is the GB187 and then maybe the YQ-42 later on down the line.

I like to cycle my pieces slowly and I don't have a lot of space to store them discreetly so luckily I can't make bulk GAS purchases. Been happily using Kathy's old showerhead bubbler with the cobra mouth piece as well as the 8 arm tree for over a year. Looking forward to the slight size/quality upgrade of the D020-W

I want a big set up like yours however with my LEGO mind set I just add stuff.
One thick milky rip of 100% INDICA and its lights out!

I'll see what I can come up with for the BENDER after some coffee?

 

[FlyingLow]

Damn this thread has taught me more than any!

Sick, claisen-crazy combustion fuckers
Great pieces guys!

@BoogerMan ~ your inline fires more evenly than most I have seen; very nice!

@syrupy ~ Laying down the gauntlet of challenges.
See ya tomorrow!

 

[HugieLewis]

Hope everyone had a GREAT 710...I know mine was!
Just as I got home from work the postman was dropping off my newest goodies. Triple donut inline, knock off water tool...and my new ecig gear (stepped up to an aerotank and a VV/VW battery) had my doubts about the donut. The perc was straight but the slits look rough. Surprisingly they fire pretty evenly. Aside from the slits there isn't too much wrong with it. The joint is a little crooked, as is the supportive bridge but function is great. I loved breaking it in last night.
I also got the water tool/ hydratube. I had never used a piece like this, so I felt like it was a gamble. Paid off though! I LOVE this thing! I picked it up mostly for use with my dabbler vape pen and it works wonderfully. No issues dialing in water level, looks cool as hell on my pen...can't wait to take this setup to the lake!

 

[New_World]

so jealous of all the Chinese glass you guys have.

@syrupy is extreme!
I was so medicated yesterday I am taking a break!

 

[syrupy]

After a raucous 710 celebration of double dabs, I awoke a little bleary. With no memory of it, apparently I ordered two more of Kathy's 10mm mini-cake.

And there may have been a marriage proposal. Not sure, all a haze now.

I just want to make a testimonial about how awesome it is to own this cheap yet functional glass.

I have owned lots of glass and spent thousands on it in the last decade. I didn't start buying cheap glass until a few months ago when I found this wonderful community.

The night before last while passing a piece (D020-2-w) a friend dropped and broke it. If this had been one of mine that cost hundreds of dollars it could have been a serious problem. Anywhere from him being out an entire paycheck to a fist fight. But since it was one of my DHgate pieces he only owes me $36 and I don't even feel mad at him.

These pieces are life savers! And friendship savers too!

I already ordered a new one and didn't miss a second of sleep over the incident. And even though minimum wage in Illinois is only $8.25 my buddy doesn't have to work too many hours at his crappy gas station job to pay it off

Pictures will be posted in broken glass thread soon

 

[syrupy]

Stock up now. Inflation is coming. So I think.

 

[PoopMachine]

My D020-2-W showed up today. Workmanship is top notch near as I can tell. Its soaking now preparing for lots of use tonight.

The blue accents really looks good and try as I might, I couldnt pull water up the mouthpiece so thats a huge plus.

Should be a dab kind of night....

Stock up now. Inflation is coming. So I think.

I agree.. prices are inching up but it may only be temporary.. if they get too aggressive with it, people will just stop buying.

 

[New_World]

if they raise the prices too much....some of us won't buy anymore.
or we will buy from their competition even.
who knows though I can't tell the future.

I don't think they have any competition, the Malaysians? Cambodians?.
