Looks like a blowout sale or something. I just picked up one of those beakers for $25 shipped. I'll let y'all know if it shows up or not.


:peace:

I'm trying to choose between

http://www.dhgate.com/product/roor-...-smoking-pipe/184028960.html#cart_view-1-null

and

http://www.dhgate.com/product/manuf...-smoking-bong/199630822.html#cart_view-2-null

And then I saw that. I just like how the fake(?) roor's beaker is shaped and don't like how the other two have a bit too much of a slant

For some reason I kind of feel like a bubbler would be better for vapor(mostly taste?), but I like the classic beaker bottom too...

Ladies and gentlemen I would like to introduce the cheap bubbler champ. The yingmin GB-228 honeycomb to turbine sidecar. I purchased it when it was accidently priced at $22.50 but it actually sells for $29.55 and I believe that it has the potential to dethrone the original D020 as best cheap vape bubbler.

It has the much sought after sidecar mouthpiece. It has 18mm female joint. It has good flavor and ample diffusion. The turbine disc is a wonderful splash guard. It is very well made and can support my nano without tipping over. All this for under $30 shipped.

I paid $34 shipped for this piece from sunshinestore. They sell it as the D020--2-w.

This looks exactly like the D020-2-W i rave so much about.
It truly is one of my favorite pieces, right below the D022 IMO.
I use it every day.
The D020-2-W however is a male joint like the right one on your picture.

I don't know about you but I feel it needs a lot of water to work ideally. With the amount I usually fill it up, the water goes almost all the way up to the ground glass joint so I actually like using the D020-2-W with a 18mm female to female adapter for some extra clearance. I am not sure I would be comfortable using it with the same water lever.

I don't have strong lung power, some of my friends can fill the piece to a low water level and make water go thru both percs. I can't and have mine filled up a lot. I also enjoy the high level of diffusion.

The GB-228 from yingmin is the D020-W-2 with a female joint. If you look back I raved about the D020-W-2 when it first came out. My friend broke mine and I replaced it with blue base version. It is really one of the best cheap vape bubbles but the male joint made it a no go for some members. Now that yingmin is offering a female joint version and for less money it is a must buy.

I keep my water level a hair above the honeycomb disc.

There should hopefully be enough clearance for the solo when you have a gong on there. Give me a little bit and I will post a picture

Edit: GB-228 with E-nano on top to show clearance. Next to D020 for comparison

I prefer this guy, the Do20K.

Same design (perch/splashguard), better mouthpiece (for me). I have the D020-w-2 and can't seem to adjust to the angle of the sidecar mouthpiece. I like to vape at a desk, and the sidecar makes me lean and twist my neck too much. If I hold it instead, then I have to concentrate on keeping it steady, as the perch is not as forgiving as a D020W (tire perch).

I like the GB-189 style sidecar.. the mouthpiece is angled more steeply to the vertical, so it can rest on my desk and is also comfortable to use.

Regardless, the new yingmang one and the sss ones would be required purchases if you own more than 4 or 5 of the China pieces. I'd put these guys just slightly behind my GB-187.

Also, whoever recommended putting oil on the GonG to Glass connection, thank you.. it works awesomely.

Edited to add: @blankrider - how's that carbed GonG working out? I'm tempted to get one.

I have over 20 setups.
they all serve their purpose.
I like a Ash Collector/Jhook set up more than anything else. You and a few others like the side car.

I like the D022 better than the D020 however I like the D020 with a SOLO.

Simple Low Budget Wonderful!

:peace:
I got an email from "Read The Label" saying that the price of the item I ordered was incorrect. They apparently had a "glitch" in their system that changed the price of all items to $18. :doh:

I already got a paypal refund confirmation, so that's cool. They did give me a 20% coupon code that I won't be using. If anyone wants it, feel free to PM me.

Some things in life are just too good to be true. :disgust:

@nihil and anyone else who is interested, the carbed gong is working out amazing. I fucking love it. Makes life so much easier and no need for a claisen. Really cannot explain how awesome it is not having to pull out a potentially hot gong or watch my friends fumble with the nano and gong. I just pass it to them and tell them it is like a rush hole and no issues. I suggest you order one now

Thank you so much @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd

Lingo, not getting it. Is "rush hole" = "carb?" As in, block hole, inhale, unblock hole, clear? That's my newb understanding of it, and if so, I'm interested. When I combusted I used a water pipe with a carb.

@FUnhouse - Wish I could agree. I have a hard time keeping the water level when holding it. No worries though, just spend $30 and try another piece. Again, it's about the honeycomb/vortex (splashguard) combo.. this is a great design.

Did I miss the review or mention of this? The arm into the vortex chamber looks like it has a decent angle!

I don't think anyone has bought that one yet IIRC.

IMO the perc looks like it is below the return tube which can cause bubbles to go up the return tube and disrupt the recycling feature.

You will also have to use a high water level in order to get the bubbles to stack up high enough to enter the uptake tube. This will cause chug when pulling especially because the perc doesn't look like it has very many holes.

They will make a good large size recycler one day. They have a few smaller ones that seem to work well.

Kinda frustrating how it'd take so little effort/change to redesign that perc and make it a decent recycler :ugh:

@nihil sorry to confuse you with my terminology.

Yes by "rush hole" I meant the carb. It was what we called it back in the day. You cover it with your finger until you want to clear it. Always seemed like a good name for it to me. I love to experience the rush

Thank you. Yeah, I may have to get one of those soon.

Does it also solve the blowback problem? In other words, no need to remove the GonG when clearing and no blowback?

It should, that's the design idea I believe. The blowback takes the path of least resistance, so the carb hole would let it out.

Was wondering last night if it would be a good idea to make a cloud buddy type GonG, so you don't have to hold your finger there. It could even be made with a smaller tubing + a 14mm or even 10mm glass fitting, male or female. I'm not sure if I like the idea of needing to hold your finger there vs using a stopper.

Thanks @Tweak.

I was thinking about getting a cloud buddy style claisen a month or so back. Kind of liking your idea also..

Yawn, I've spent hours pouring over every piece of glass listed on Dhgate (boy was that fun to see the difference in prices on stuff like the D020!). I've got $23 in my skrill account after a refund on some broken glass that I need to spend on dhgate.

I have yet to find anything as small or smaller than the D020 which looks like it would pair with the eNano (I have big rigs, but I want a small can.

I've been thinking about this piece, but the lack of extra support has me worried:
best-quality-two-function-clear-mini-bubbler.jpg


Plus it's less than $23. I'm almost tempted, but I'm sure that's not a real picture of the actual bubbler, that's probably something listed on ALT I bet

Or I might just wait for something better to come out, since it seems like we see new stuff every 3-4 weeks!
