Cheap High Quality Bubbler

X2 the 187 is a great bubbler and an amazing deal. Its not available right now but hopefully yingming will get them done soon. I will say though that the piece my friend has with ice seemed noticeably smoother. Would need to do more tests to give a better answer but I remember using it and thinking this thing is smooth. Even tried using cloud+ at max temp with fresh herb and it was tolerable.

So I am cancer free and I need a really good bubbler with a lot of percolation. I have asked this question before. I know the möbius is the best but I just can't blow the $400. So who has my miracle solution out here. What does it mean about slits. I don't want to have to turn the evo upside down. Just want a good piece that is reliable that I can fill with water and that hits smooth
Outstanding about no cancer. :clap:

This being the cheap glass thread we are mostly talking about the knockoffs rather than the name brands. So, for the $400 you might have to spend on the real Mobius, you might be able to get as many as 10 knockoffs. Most of us <g> don't need 10, so we save $$ instead, at least for a while. :rolleyes: But at the lower price points you can try a couple designs without breaking the bank.

To me, huge amounts of diffusion is really more for combustion than vaping. The more cooling the better with smoke and the diffusion cools the smoke. I'm still relatively new at this but it seems to me that vapor doesn't need THAT much cooling. However the diffusion also humidifies the hit which may make it easier on the throat. So, it has been finding the right mixture of cooling and conditioning, without taking out all the flavor. That ideal tradeoff seems to be different for nearly everyone. ;) At this moment for me that seems to be the D022. The D022 also gives me a good look at the glass which helps me adjust my Lotus hits as necessary. You won't necessarily need that feature.

I have never used the EVO, but it seems to have been designed to use with glass resting atop it like the Hydrotube. They have several of their own pieces, tho they look kinda pricey. Others more familiar can help you with that. I'm not sure why you don't want to invert the evo into standing glass pieces but that is how many of us do our vaping. It gives you many more options.

Oh, and you asked about slits. They are cuts in percs or downstems under the waterline that allows vapor (or smoke) filled air to escape. That is what moisturizes and cools it. You then draw it through your mouthpiece or tube.

Just get the Mobius knockoff from Yingmin, it's fantastic

i got a bogus tracking number from CCG on 10-04, still have yet to get a working number.

They did that to me before too, I think mine had to do with the fact that I used Jillion Logistics as the shipment method. It ended up being delivered to me via FedEx but it took a while for the tracking to show up.

Hey y'all, what is your all opinion on this pipe

it looks way better than tag, and also i come to the realization that kathy, and steve, all produce for tag, i wonder who else's does?
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/18-inch-glass-bong-with-triple-honey-comb/210455705.html

I would not get that piece. I have a triple honeycomb, and for me its too much. They produce so much diffusion with a single honeycomb that a double is the most I'd do. Pieces of herb get stuck between the chambers and become near impossible to get out, and I swear for some reason despite the massive amount of bubbles it still feels like I'm hitting a dry pipe without any water filtration.

The one I posted a page back seems like it would have ultimate diffusion (why its a great combustion piece). Now im not buying it for medical reasons but really just to get strong effects and very smooth hits.

High diffusion generally means=/=flavor.....in your case I think worrying about flavor would be a much lower priority than getting more diffusion. With the cloud evo at low temps paired with a high diffusion piece and small hits seems like that would work well for you. Also having ice pinches allows you to try with and without ice to see what you prefer.

If you dont want to invert it you have two options either use silicone tubing (meh IMO) or buy a hydrotube ($$$). Why dont you want to invert?



For me personally not a fan of that angled downstem. Looks good other than that (although your putting some trust into that matrix perc, complex looking). I know TAG is getting their glass overseas but it seems like their glass is thicker as well as having some quality control and customer service and being US based. I looked at DHgate and found most reputable sellers are about ~$20 cheaper than TAG which is no biggie to me. Other sellers seem to have great deals but if the piece comes crappy then what? $ down the drain. A user just posted his review of the CCG and it was pretty negative.

EDIT: After looking on ioffer, dhgate I kept coming to the same piece. The can looks bigger than many other pieces. I love the colors (blue looks great, not a fan of green lol). And it seems like it is a great diffusion piece. That quality and features for 105 shipped seemed like a good deal to me :D. Will keep you guys posted on my experiments :science:

I have been looking for you and your wisdom!! Fuck the flavor; I need to have it be smooth (like the Santana song). I did look back a few pages ago. Ioffer made me an offer of one of their tubes with the adapter thrown in but I too keep going back to DH. I remember someone said something about the bird cage bubbler. So what do you think. I have inverted the evo into my bong but it's so heavy I'm afraid the whole thing will topple over. The side circ is just not enough for me. It has no slits. I'm so new at this; I really have no clue but I will look at the DH site again. If it has to be big and bad so be it. The further the vapor travels p. the cooler it gets correct. I can't do the möbius but I will spend 150 on this if I need to.

Does anyone think a solo vape would better suit my purposes. I love my exhale and I know that I was putting om too high a heat but I'm an old cloud chaser. You know when I started bongs were a big deal. I'm so happy!!! The kids are as well. :). I don't know how everyone puts those funny icons in their posts but I would if I only knew how

First, arizer solo is a fine vape but I dont think it will better serve your purpose because it has alot of draw restriction which could potentially irritate your throat. How many cloud evo bowls do you have? How much do you use to get medicated? My first thought would be to load each bowl with a very small amount of herb. Then run the cloud very low in temp and slowly increase when you get no vapor. I would also keep a beverage nearby and take swigs every so often. Have you tried this technique? By keeping heat low and using low amount of herb you reduce vapor and it is alot less irritating

Here is the piece I just ordered:

http://www.thickassglass.com/collec...b-water-pipe-7mm-thick-w-spinning-splashguard

It has alot of diffusion so people who smoke are the usual customers.

I recently used this one:
http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/cheap-high-quality-bubbler.5255/page-450#post-673799

And thought it was very smooth even compared to my GB-187 (mobius clone).

I say order something like what I posted and then when the GB-187 comes back in stock order that as well. You will have two great pieces for ~$150

EDIT: Oh yeah and I was worried about it toppling over as well but using the above water tube it was surprisingly stable (weight of glass+water). Now my technique is to always take the cloud off between hits so basically when im ready to put it down I will clear and then not put the cloud back on the bubbler/bong

Ok I'm looking at these now. Take a look at my latest evo post. You have been so good at this; I can't thank you enuf. Let me look and I will get back to you. I'm still weeks away from doing anything. Ready to start a new thread vote on LIMOMs next glass piece. It could be so rocking and so timely. You are very good to me. I love this site so much.

Glad you find it helpful.

Another benefit I thought of is you can also use ice with the above water pipe (see those pinches on the tube those are called ice pinches). Now ice may or may not be better for you. Alot of this will be trial and error, we can recommend pieces that should theoretically be better for you but until you try its hard to tell. I can only guess that the above method that I described would help someone with throat problems but you should try it and pay close attention to your throat and how it feels (once Dr's clear you).

As far as the ioffer piece. I dont remember what it was exactly, have a link?

No I would not recommend that one (tons of draw restriction I would guess).

http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/hot-sell-the-newest-glass-oil-bong-glass/187586219.html

Thats the GB-187 its kind of famous in this thread. It was on DHGate for $47 w/shipping to US. Right now they do not have single orders (second link is how it should look but with 1 piece, that one is wholesale @ 12 pieces/lot).


EDIT:

I know you were worried that the 16" bong being too big and that is something you will have to determine. This video below shows it in usage and thats how I hit my friends bong as well. Wasnt uncomfortable for me.



Regarding toppling over, @Frederick McGuire explained it alot better than I did above:

I basically have the same piece .
The solid wide base won't allow the EVO to tip over .
Unless you knock it over by accident .
The majority of the weight is Centered .

Use the KIS method ,
Keep it Simple .
The more can/chambers , diffusion/percs = Pathways
Which may require more throat muscles to chug it thru .
Honeycombs are just basically holes in a disc , but does
provide nice percolation , especially with 2 .

Hot sell the newest glass bong glass smoking pipe with 2 percs 12 inches high just for American customers(GB-186-1).

Who wants to way in on this one, I gotta pull the trigger soon meeting BFF (1 from hometown Nola been with her for over 50 yrs; the other college BFF been with her for 35 yrs in DC for mom's getaway in nov. They want me to CAREFULLY wake and Bake. And they aren't joking with the carefully). So I want at least one really good piece with me. College friend is working on really good stuff and has requested the beast if I am extremely careful. So I gotta get going on this.

Have I told any of you that my daughter is an ASsist district attorney in one of the counties of NYC and is not suppose to be with anyone that has product. I told her it was a good thing she moved out of the house lol she's the best. Don't want to reveal county to protect her innocence. Would she vote lol

In such a better mood. I like the DH above. Will olivanewtownjohn, poonman and everyone else weigh in

Very similar you are right. How does it work? Closest I have come to a honeycomb is that funky looking bong my friend brought over but it was kind of like a ratchet perc and honeycomb perc had a baby.

EDIT: @LongIslandmom I am not sure how that piece is, best to wait for someone who owns it or search this thread for GB-186. If my memory is correct reviews were mostly favorable with some people not as happy with it.

@LongIslandmom if you have $150 to spend I highly recommend you looking into distilled glass or doughboy glass for a recycler. They offer optimal cooling while retaining the flavor and they are very good quality yet surprisingly affordable

Ok so confused. Don't get triple honeycomb right?
They did that to me before too, I think mine had to do with the fact that I used Jillion Logistics as the shipment method. It ended up being delivered to me via FedEx but it took a while for the tracking to show up.

It works real smooth , my daily piece for now .
Not a lot of drag going thru 2 honeycombs .
Great for my Solo and for ' milking ' the vapors from the EVO .
Just have to slow down the inhale for the EVO compared to the Solo .

I just thought of this ,
I'm currently looking for a bent/curved mouthpiece bubbler .
So I don't have to Crane my neck forwards to inhale .
Kinda restricting my vocal cord , you may want to think
about doing the same .

My head is spinning from all of this. I have seen many with curves.

Don't worry , you have several weeks to shop .
It doesn't have to be an impulse purchase tonight .
Wait til you hear from a few others too .
For $ 150 , you should be able to get a decent bubbler .

btw , I meant a curved ' neck ' for the mouthpiece .
like the one posted above by ONJ

As you mentioned, I think a side mouthpiece makes any piece much more user friendly, as opposed to a straight tube / bong-like piece.

You mentioned getting a Solo. No need, they are nice but your unit is superior.

No need to go "big" with a water piece. For combusting, yes. For vaping, no need and it just gets cumbersome to use.

But she already has a hydrotube and is asking for a piece with more diffusion for her throat.......

I won't buy tonight; I gotta see the dr first
Think doughboy will have pity on my poor soul. I don't want anything fancy

Min bobber good to see you join the discussion
A collective decision on a single piece will be made soon

I am not forgetting about temp, small bowls water temp and keeping something on hand to drink

I'm gonna reach out to everyone when I do this

ONJ you are good person; I sought you out first because of your post last week. Ok we will stay on this. My spirits are much better. Can someone arrange a lottery win then I will buy them all

I never did a site like this; it's so badass
