Beside the custom Claisen idea, you might consider a GonG with a carburetor tube. @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd over on the JoDa Glass thread makes them for Nano and Solo, not sure if he can do the Cloud+. Oregon Glassblowers is another name I've heard for custom work. Good luck!




For what it's worth, I just got my shipping notice from SunshineStore in a day.

Welcome @KickstandKevin ! :wave:
Dude that is a great idea.

Another answer from yingmin about the 187 sidecar is below. The first part is about a Sheldon black knockoff piece I've been looking at that's only ever been offered as a lot of 6. Hope he can get it.

"Dear friend,of course,i can get this pipe,it is very easy,but maybe need to wait some time,and about the gb-187,we meet some problems of production,so we have to delay to produce.thanks that you like my product.thanks and best regards"

Edit- happy 10,000th post cheap bubbler thread!

Also just got shipping notification on the Kathy ratchet recycler. That took around a week.

Wait, @yingmin5 can make you a knockoff sheldon black piece?

How does that work?

Can he make a knockoff bates x worm diffusion pump too?

Good question about the knock off diffusion pump. I have never seen one of those and it is not a really complicated design. They sell for way too much, why is there no knock off of that design?

I don't know about making them, I just asked if he could get one that another seller offers. Here is a knockoff SB travel bubbler that I've been eyeing for months. But this seller only offers lots of six and has never answered a single message I've sent. This is the piece he said he can get supposedly.

Nice!!! can you give a heads up to the thread if you do get one from Yingman5, Ditto on the downstem and MP being removable ....roll it up in bubble wrap and hit the road, compact :tup:

@blankrider thanks,I have seen both of those, but I really like the removable downstem along with the removable mouthpiece. This is the only piece I've seen that has both.

Hey all! I've done a lot of reading on this thread and still have a question (likely due to my very limited experience with glass)...

Want to go through DH Gate, if possible, to get a piece. Have a custom Nano in the works and have ordered the 18 adjust a bowl. Can somebody please weigh in on an opinion? I'm thinking D020, D020-D, D020-W or something related. Also, as have never used DH Gate...do they do PayPal? Credit card only? Safe?

Thanks for any info/opinions. :peace:

(mods: not intended as a thread derail - just figured best advice would come from the folks in this thread and/or Nano thread)

Welcome Beach Bum! :wave:

I recently went through the same, long (:o) decision process--in my case water conditioning for an Arizer Solo vape. Here are my own preferences and insights, in hope that they might help. :D

Greetings and Salutations!

...my initial *excuse* for being here (the basic reason is :rofl:) 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.

I'd like your advice on my bubbler selection for my Solo.:science:

My preferences are:
  1. Bent neck rather than straight bong.
  2. Easy observation of internal vapor action. :p
  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. :lmao: Oh well, it's the journey, right? :rolleyes:

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 an @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd custom carbureted GonG 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! :peace::rockon:

That looks pretty cool @alltoreup. I would love to see a function video. Other sellers need to take a cue from sunshine store.

yes SS is a great vendor but this is the work of CCG. I'm sure that rig works well !! love that xtra glass on top of the can give it a bit more height. 18mm fm on it would be balls.


EDIT ,my bad @BLANK RIDER DUH :doh:had my head up my ass, I understand what you meant with function video.:D...:peace:

IKR?

Tiny little bates x worm pumps, sell for hundreds.

Plus its low volume. its basically ideal for the solo.

I'd be all over a chinese low priced version.

I actually just picked up a mini BxW diffusion pump from the Classifieds. It's the most expensive piece of glass I've ever purchased (even though I paid quite a bit less than retail). I never anticipated spending so much on a bubbler, having always leaned toward cheaper glass, but I'd heard so many great things about that particular design...

All I can say is that I have not even one shred of buyer's remorse. The hype is well deserved. In addition, the thing is built like a frickin' tank. "Tiny little", it's not. Similar in size to the D020, it's the thickest, heaviest, most shatter-resistant feeling piece of glass I've ever handled (here's hoping that assessment holds up). And it pulls like a dream. I have a crazy tolerance, but something about this style of bubbler knocks me on my butt. I find that I can take much bigger hits than normal due to the incredible cooling effect on the vapor--and not even realize it.

If there was a cheap knock-off of this design that closely mimicked the experience, I have no doubt that they'd sell a ton of them. The friend who tried my new toy on Friday night would be first in line.

Cheapest place to buy is Hempgarage I believe. I bought two (shipping did not increase when I added more than one to my cart!). Both were packaged well and were great quality for the price. It shipped very quickly to the States (I believe it ships from Canada IIRC).

http://hempgarage.com/products/sb7-starbud-frapp-bubbler

It is also on iOffer I believe:

Here is also a slightly smaller one with a male joint and a little slime:

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Was out fishing a few days...came home to the Alina inline. Mine also has the perc halfway up the can, but I have to say it's pretty decent quality, and you can dial it in so there isn't any splash back...so I am digging it. Pics and video(perhaps) when I feel a bit more up to it...

spotted a couple new ones:

another ball rig knock off...but cheaper?
