Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[MinnBobber]

L Isl Mom, you are looking at smoothest vapor for your throat. One element just as important as best water piece, is the best "technique" for your individual needs. For technique in a water piece, the best water temp varies by what is needed by person, is it vapor or smoke, etc.

I just dug deep and did my water temp comparison, back to back I sometimes do room temp water in my Mobius and sometimes hot water.
As I thought. back to back, the hot water bubbler makes for much much much "easier on the throat and lungs" vapor.

Why is that? Hot water moisturizes the air/vapor much more than room temp water does. Air/vapor that is too hot and/or too dry irritates the throat. FOR VAPOR , heat is not the main issue, it is the DRY DRY vapor. Hot water moisturizes it much better. For COMBUSTED herbs, HEAT is the main issue to so big arse bongs with huge volume , cool water, and even ice are great, but not needed for vaping.

I just did back to back. With room temp water, it's like a neutral/zero rating that vapor does not irritate the throat at all. With hot water, I'd rate a plus + 2. that it actually feels good/ like it is helping any dry throat issues. Just take a hit thru the water piece with microwaved hot water (with no herb). It's like a moisture bath for your throat / feels good. Not boiling but very hot.

Flame suit on, but try it before you input......

LI Mom, get a nice inexpensive bubbler and fine tune your technique (VapeXHale temp, water temp, bowl packed correctly, etc) and your BFF's will be waked and baked to perfection...... gair ant teed.......

u

I'm mainly using it for vaping.

I don't dab too often, I find my oil goes further using my minicron (would that count as dabbing or vaping in this discussion?), and I can rig up a Frankenstein's monster of adapters to connect it just about any of my pieces.
I also hit my minicron dry most of the time, but I always use water for herb vapor.

I've gotta rate it pretty high on my dhgate list, it functions great (no vortex though, but the double barrel has no chance of a vortex either), and its enjoyable to use. As @MGG said, it functions better than the barrel to barrel (pretty sure I'm gonna sell my barrel to barrel - I can't see myself ever using it now I've got the barrel to funnel).

It's a little awkward to pair with a vape - but I find that with any small bong.

keep saying no vortex but mine does vortex like crazy.i think we have same barrel to funnel from steven right?

 

[Frederick McGuire]

Yup from Steven. I'd love to see a vid of it vortexing if you can.

This is just a quick vid from my ipad, no post processing or anything.

I just placed an order on the barrel to funnel rig.
Just a heads up for people who are thinking about getting it, they just put it on sale for 20% off. Now would probably be a good time to buy. $39.37 total after shipping to the US.

So Steven has dabuccino rigs too.

The pic on his listing is a bit confusing, as it has 3 sizes:

I asked him about the sizing, and what the label situation was.

...SL052,Here enclsoed a picture that you can check.
Now here only one size(M)...

I had out off buying one of these for 2 weeks and finally bought one last night. Of course when I wake up today i see it's like $10 less.

I have a more reasonable request. I'd actually really like to get a nice quartz banger for cheap.. Everything I seem to find appears to be over $50 shipped to Australia. Anyone know any DHGATE Quartz hookups ?

I had a very hard time finding one that shipped to Aus for a reasonable price. Gave in and got a titanium from ebay

Where abouts in Aus you from dude?

 

[Delta3DStudios]

Lol, so I found a new vendor who has some interesting pieces. And then they have this piece.....

Not bad right? What if I told you it was $738?
http://www.dhgate.com/product/quot-wl-quot-hookahs-zero-x4/211468261.html#s1-12-1c|1095288098

This one is a bit more reasonable at $45

Still can't figure out wtf those percs in the middle are.....

Interesting... I looked at everything that guy is selling and personally think it's pretty much all overpriced.

True, but I haven't seen anyone else selling those items on DHgate (I'm bored of the current selection, been watching daily for new listings)

Hop on over to the cheap nails thread. Blank and I have discussed the bangers over there a few times. He recently posted one up for $30 or $35 and I was too cheap/stubborn since I missed out on the ones for $18 shipped. :X

Hyman Quartz is where most of the cheaper quartz nails come from.
Most of their AliEx items are wholesale only but this listing seems to be for a single nail.
I've never purchased from them, however.

edit: its only cheap shipped to Australia... shipping to US makes it highway robbery... one of the very few times it works to our benefit down here.

My Beehive from CCG came in today. Not at all as described. Blue glass, 18mm joint size and a regular downstem instead of a showerhead. Dispute started.

 

[oldiebutgoodie]

Hi it's LIMOM here and the biopsy is benign. ITS NOT CANCER

So tell me again what is the piece that will give the smoothest hit. Oldiebutgoodie are you out there.

I need many slits. I too would prefer not to turn the evo upside down. I may try again in 3 weeks. I need to drink a lot of water when I do this; I gotta be really careful. C'mon and help me out. I hope the doctor says I can start working out; I need to run so badly.

I am looking at the DH site. I am so happy. Now I just gotta get my voice back

@LongIslandmom, so very glad to hear that you are clear. I know how terrifying an experience this can be, and the stress of it all can leave one in shambles. But now you are healing, let time and patience be your friends.

And I think you'll do better with your questions in this thread, a lot more glass specific info. Just keep in mind the very wide variety of vapes/users represented here - while some generalities apply to many vapes, there are also characteristics that may work fine with some vapes but less so with others. Not to speak of just plain personal preference one user to the next.

Revisiting a few previous posts . . . the "Atomic" piece posted yesterday by @PoopMachine on the EVO thread might be representative of a good candidate for you. The price is right, the circ looks sufficient for moisturizing, the volume is modest, and apparently the action is very smooth. It's actually somewhat similar to VXL's HydraFoot 2.0 (not currently offered) which I have, and it does a good job (but costs $100 more). Pieces like this sometimes have just a little bit of drag at the beginning of the hit when the water is initially displaced, but IME that is negligible.

How well the piece moisturizes is only going to get you so far; the other characteristics are factors, too. A medium-to-large volume piece requires more work from the muscles at the back of your pharynx and your larynx. Smooth action will feel more relaxed as you inhale. And of course your technique needs to match up with the piece, too.

About the water temp . . . I don't suppose you could ask your doctor? Hot water could be irritating to delicate tissues. And while warm water holds more moisture, it also opens the pores more in your throat and bronchi. A member here who had pulmonary issues asked his specialist about this and IIRC was told that it could increase the chance/severity of infection (due to increased tissue absorption). IMO it comes down to what your particular condition dictates, and only you (and your doc) can evaluate that.

EDIT: I see on the EVO thread that @JAM has found a DHgate duplicate (or so it appears) for less than $40. Might be the Chinese version? Anyway, here's that post:

$18.99 Shipped!!! I rarely do this but I auto-jumped on this offer.
Thanks so much man, been missing having a quartz domeless.

Damn I have read so many bad reviews for clean and clear glass lately. They have been sending people defective pipes left and right. They also seem to be stubborn about making things right. I was very displeased to hear how they handled things with @Frederick McGuire. It really bothers me because they have some interesting stuff that comes up sometimes but I can't order from them in good faith knowing that they might send me some bullshit and then tell me that everything is fine and I'm the one with a problem

[turdhole]

CCG contacted me today and said my order has been sent out and that the tracking number is not false. tracking number still doesnt work. *fingers crossed*


EDIT. what's going on with this piece?
