Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[ataxian]

Been looking for some cheap china glass to go with my lotus. I have the d020 right now but find it puts the lotus a little close to my face. Been thinking about the d022 but wondering if anyone knew of something that would work better.

The D022

This is too small

Works however not very practical

 

[numbchucked]

Just ordered
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/new-small-bong-mini-water-pipe-pocket-glass/190893367.html
And
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/two-function-9-arm-percolator-and-honey-comb/186419724.html

The other recycler looked nice but the processing time of 20 days is way too long for me to wait.

Now the waiting game...

I received my GB-225 from yingmin today. It was not in a box, just a shit load of bubble wrap and tape. It seemed very safe even though the lack of box.

It appears to be the same build construction as the D020-2S I purchased through sunshine store. Same dimensions and frit grain size, just shorter can due to the lack of turbine. Very well made. I think that I like this more than the version with turbine, but you have to remember to be kind of gentle on the clear if you don't want a drink.

In the link yingmin pictures both clear and blue model, there might also be a green available idk. I requested blue in the comment line and received blue so I assume that he read it.

grrr this isn't easy deciding (refer to my cart on the last page). I want my purchase to be a little cheaper... it's time to goto the smoke shop on Broadway that's selling these same pieces for in the 100's-200's and test them out; see which ones I want ;P.

@ataxian doesn't the lotus cost like 70 bucks? For the last year I've rarely smoked flowers but it's indefinite that I will again, and would be nice to have a vape cap for optimum smoothness. Can't say I wouldn't say the same though if there was maybe a mod or cheaper version of it that I could maybe attain. Any possibility to that or..?

This is a new perc so it's still a risk but looks like a great deal:http://www.dhgate.com/product/two-f...03162543.html?recinfo=1,1,15#cppd-15-5|null:1

Just pickup a reducer and your all set!
A sidecar bub might be what your looking for...

Edit- Though if your new to the Lotus or prefer to see the circle your lighting, this piece is no beuno. My favorite was just a plain Jane Sherlock with a 1" tubing over the wpa, YUM!

If this is the case, maybe this cheap ratchet recycler:http://www.dhgate.com/product/new-come-glass-bong-glass-pipe-with-18-8mm/202952796.html

Haha don't really have the money to go for a risk. But that recycler looks pretty interesting. Probably gonna be that or the d022

Just placed another order through kathy - the honeycomb to matrix straight tube, and the ratchet-cycler.

Used my $10 off coupon, so it ended up costing me $(Aud)86 for the 2 of 'em
And I've already been offered $35 for the nail that comes with the matrix one
So basically $50 for those 2 pieces

I really want that 20" inline to tree piece she's got on there, but $95 is a bit steep for my liking.
I wish it was like $65-70... Oh well, I'll probably get it at some point

D022 to start.
You can't go wrong!
Cheap however gets the job done!

Has anyone pulled the trigger on the clean clear glass recycler with the donut looking perc yet?
http://www.dhgate.com/product/creative-new-design-glass-water-pipes-with/203190898.html

I purchased a piece a week or 2 ago from them, which sadly wasn't functional (design issue - the build quality was perfect) and they offered to give me free shipping on my next order - which I was happy enough with as a resolution.
So I've decided that's gonna be the one.


Another one I wish was a bit cheaper:
http://www.dhgate.com/product/hot-sell-by-ems-2014-new-design-big-blue/198063972.htm
I know it's a knockoff of a $1-2k piece, but $146 seems too high for my liking, even if it is a big piece...

If they could knock up a SG pillar knockoff for $150 I'd be all over it though
They're knocking off the wrong high end pieces
I guess a pillar would be harder to make (and conceptualise assuming we're still running with the theory that most of the blowers over there don't understand the intended function of the pieces)

Oh, also, the other day I saw a listing for an actual hitman double barrel recycler for $600
Didn't realise the originals ran for so much.

I think that the perc on that CCG toilet seat perc is too high in the can. I think that piece would be better with the perc on the very bottom, maybe even welded to the bottom. Also might benefit from a larger recycle chamber. Almost ordered this one.

These looks pretty cool... https://www.ioffer.com/i/igolla-vapebong-wax-herb-vape-pen-water-attachment-2-578391508

[DieHard]

That igolla thing looks like an W9 Tech Okeanos knock-off.

[Jahrastafari]

Never heard of those but $90!!! That vape pen taste is terrible maybe some water filtration is what we need

If your vape pen tastes horrible, maybe it's time to get a better one. Check out the Omicron or Persei, remember, you get what you pay for.
Check here.

Or here

I use mine with and without my bubblers.

@Frederick McGuire that recycler looks awesome! I feel myself wanting to order it this very second. Looks highly functional.

Can anyone tell me if this is a knock off of a specific design?

I respectively disagree, typically with recyclers you want the perc high in the can so that the vapor path is as short as possible. If you place the perc too low in the can and too close to the return tube, there is a risk of the vapor travelling up the return tube. See this example of a SG recycler:

It doesn't remind me of any specific designs off the top of my head. The can shape almost reminds me of Syn? But they typically use showercap percs. The donut perc (a proper circle) is used in EFS's work

I had a cheap one that tasted lousy.
The W9 TECH pens both OMNICRON and PERSEI even the OPHOS taste good dry!
You couldn't give me a cheap pen.
Like @DieHard say' s you get what you pay for!

I just got home from my smoke shop run. During my hang out I decided to be nice and show the dude at the smokeshop some pipes at dhgate.com- which ended up having me intro him to the site, which he was blown away by lol. Especially with recyclers just like http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/new-small-bong-mini-water-pipe-pocket-glass/190893367.html for no lower than 100 lol (all sizes though). Also saw a few with the toilet seat percs (one of them failed and just stopped percing after 2 secs, the other worked very nicely), and two or three which were similar to the piece which a few FCers are waiting for someone to take the bullet on>

Wish I could say I tested one though lol. Hard not to get everything I like after realizing that buying two pieces at a smoke shop here would be the equivalent to the order I'm about to make on DHgate lol.

 

[Rare]

I see you're ordering from dhgate.. Is ordering from there reliable? Like, are the pieces good quality and not dangerous to use lol.

Read the last like 50 pages of this thread...
Plenty of happy customers, and a couple of disappointed ones.
Depends how "reliable" you need them to be, but I'm happy with it.

 

[friedricey]

They're good quality. Just stick to sunshine store and yingmin's one from personal experience - the ones where people have already purchased. With Yingmin's I'd personally recommend his bubblers and matrix perc type - I've tried the smaller ones as well and they're quality.

But in terms of quality in regards to the higher end glass like sovereignty, toro, us tubes, hitman etc if someone has personal experience and can chime in that'd be good because I'd like know as well.

 

[Mr. Gweilo 420]

you will not go wrong with Sunshine Store. Great service and quality.

Greetings and Salutations!

This is my first post to FC, after two weeks of reading through (most of) this thread first, so's to be relatively informed and efficient in my posts. I think I've learned a lot, and have definitely gained much respect for the helpfulness, patience, humor and goodwill of the members and mods. I'll try to live up to your example.

That said, my initial *excuse* for being here (the basic reason is ) is to find some glass for my Solo. I'm already talking with @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd about some GonGs for it, and want to solicit your knowledge on a couple of things.

Firstly, when folks talk about using a 18mm to 14mm GonG for connecting a Solo, how does the Solo actually connect? Does the standard Solo glass stem fit/telescope inside of the 14mm opening?

And B (), I'd like your advice on my bubbler selection for my Solo.

My preferences are:

1. Bent neck rather than straight bong.
2. Easy observation of internal vapor action.
   
3. Stable. I'm thinking a that a central dewar bowl connection, low bowl height and wide base aid this?
4. Low air volume: I'm thinking that the relatively mild hits that I like to set my Solo for don't require a lot of diffusion/mixing/dilution?

So, after much happy reading, laughing, pondering, and drooling over the glass you've shared, my journey for my first vape bubbler has me leaning towards... (drumroll)...

the D020 ! Yes, the standard one recommended for beginners. Oh well, it's the journey, right?

The D020-W would be my first choice for the better viewing it's sidecar provides, if not for the restrictive mouthpiece reported on some examples, and seemingly slightly larger air volume?

Edit: Oh yeah, and I plan to get a Claisen Adapter, and one of those Pinnacle water tool knockoffs, to see how that works for me.

I invite your comments and suggestions, thank you all for a great site, and wish you luck and joy!

Hey Hey Hey!

I'm trying this Quote thing--hope it's useful and not obnoxious.

I just placed a D020, D022, Vaporblunt Water Tool, and dual 18mm female adapters in my cart at Sunshinestore, and messaged asking if I can get a shipping discount on multiple items. I can't remember if SS store does this, or how to do it. Any tips/experiences?

Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!!

Thanks again to all for the great info!

See this post.
This way the seller can adjust the price of your order immediately as it is already showing up on his side.

Not sure why you want to order the 18mm female to female adapters, if I remember correctly all the pieces you are ordering already have a female joint.
Female to female adapters are used to convert a male joint into a female one.

Maybe an 18mm male to 14mm female reducer would be more useful if you have a 14mm male GonG.

 

[ou812?]

Yo Mr White...................... Breaking Bad still stuck in my head...LOVE that show any how...............

Plug for Sunshine Store once again.Good ole Mike made good on D022,cracked joint to where repair was needed, mucho leakage.Sent him a picture of it and that day he had replacement packaged and shipped out!!! He sent a pic of the parcel w/my address on it.He apologized, I never went into a dispute I just sent him a message and he said he appreciated I didnt go there 1st.. The guy is a good business man and respects his bread and butter even if we arent a big accumulating account,he still goes the extra mile. Really cant say anything but good things about Mike and Sunshine site

FWIW Kathy has made the adjustment on this piece below. Hmmmm makes me wonder who does her web page and dont they see if its squared away for biz? anyhow its now 22 bucks instead of 62 bucks

Threw my 10 $$ discount coupon into my deal with this and the ratchet recyler bubb . Trifecta this week including that cool LiL bubb with the new type of perc @Dangus posted and its only WEDNESDAY D022 last week, now I really will have to slow the fug down and save up for recyclers ......doesnt it ever end?????. The only problem with this with me is I dont short change my dogs so I am the one who has to try to budget, but I smile at the same time I fret....the cost of this stuff is so fug'n reasonable (y'all know the skinny by looking at your LHS's to smile too) that as long as I have meds, doggie supplements, and glass, were golden, i can always manage low bud meals that are still healthy,so for a few weeks I'll have to squeeze all other facets of my simple lifestyle, damn those GAS pains!!!

 

[Vapour Clown]

I received my D020 from Kathy on Monday

Quite frankly I was blown away by this little rig. It's really solid and pairs amazingly with my Solo for some real beastly hits.

The problem now is going to be resisting pulling the trigger on every piece I see

That being said, there's a lot worse problems a bloke can have
