Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[Dreamerr]

I have no issue with getting water in my mouth and as the day goes on the level gets higher cause I will grab a piece of ice from my water glass for colder water. Also be aware, now that I learned a smidge, not all the slits fire as someone else mentioned. If I remember correctly from the other day my back three fire and not the front ones. I did it with no herb just water in the mirror like the other person did. No matter how hard or soft or angle change some just don't bubble. This tiny thing is cute and won't break easily.

I still want to know if you can just boil it to clean it or even chuck it in the dishwasher. I would think the glass is thick enough. I want to do it with my solo stems as well. I know you can boil them so I would assume a bubbler would be able to as well.

Why wouldnt they all fire???? Faux Holes?!?!?

I wonder if you could boil it as well. At first I thought that it would be no big deal it's made to get that hot. Then again I'm not sure about the glass of that piece while undergoing a 140 degree temp change.
I'm going to use a kind of boil cleaning for my glass 2oz of ISO in the microwave for 30 sec's then dump no salt no shake. I have put a lot of glass pipes in boiling water to clean them it's a cheep and nasty, easy way to clean. But now with the net I would use Simple Green for combustion or hot ISO for vapor reclaim.

Be careful with the ISO in the microwave, ISO fumes are extremely flammable.

potentially explosive.

I think the concensus is that boiling your GLASS will weaken it. The vaporizers designed to be boil-safe have had more of a ceramic construction.
Sure it won't break the first time just from boiling, but it will make a slight *bump* have a higher chance of causing a crack/break.

As for the slits firing, that should depend on each individual bubbler. With $50, you can't really expect too much consistency in production. My slits mostly all fire equally. If not, you should be able to make adjustments by leaning it back or forward.

Made a "bubble" video last night and will try to upload a lil later today to show how the perc can fire.

I think someone else said that all there slits didn't fire either. Personally I don't really care I like the cute thing and it works for what my intended use is. It cools enough and gives moisture.

So with the boiling issue if you put it in water and let it heat with the water I don't see why it would be an issue but I would love someone to chime in more. I know the solo people put there stems in hot chocolate which I planed on doing but my guess is it is from the start. It is never wise to put glass in water that is already boiling. If you are sticking glass in boiling water I am surprised it doesn't shatter.

i have had cheap glass shatter after taking it out of hot water. i guess it cooled too fast.

The thermal SHOCK is definitely the problem so heating up the water should be safer, but I can't say definitively. It also might be better to let the water cool a bit before taking it out, reduce the shock on both ends of the procedure.

On one hand, a $50 bubbler might not be made as solid and more vulnerable to weakening. On the other hand, if something bad WERE to happen, it's only $50. Very likely you could use the bubbler for a long time, doing hot water cleanings, and then it breaks so far down the road that you will have felt you got your money's worth (and valuable learning experience)


Here's the water test/bubble video

At around 0:15 you can see the splashback up the mouthpiece.
I would say this is a medium-high water level for the piece.

 

[FrogBoy138]

Looks like it stacks way better and fires more even then I thought it was going too.

 

[BigDaddyVapor]

OMG!!! NO MICROWAVE/HEAT AND ISO!!!!

(we now return you to our regular program)

Sweet up-close view of the water test. I like it. Though... as previously mentioned... I would prefer the taller dimensions. @#$% that thing is tiny. Where's bOObs? He would love that bubbler. It looks almost the same exact size as the Mini Hydrator.

 

[FrogBoy138]

Yeah yeah Has anyone ever put ISO in microwave?

 

[BigDaddyVapor]

Well, coming from work in the Petroleum industry and the nature of extremely flammable/explosive fumes... its not a good idea. You're welcome to try, but might want to tell anyone else in the household to leave. It doesn't take flame. It just takes the flash point (temp) to set it off.

if the glass is borosilicate, AND the glass has been properly annealed. Boiling the glass will not weaken it.
Borosilicate glass unless its cheaper cousin sodalime can withstand thermal shock and is oven/dishwasher safe

thats why mom's everywhere love pyrex glass bowls/tubs because they can take the abuse.

that being said i know allot of shops go cheap on annealing and don't properly anneal their glass so it comes already stressed when you buy it. these pcs you don't want to apply anymore stress or thermal shock as the glass can crack under the stress

Yar the proper anneal is the clincher. I routinely hit my heavy-duty hydratube with scalding hot water with not much fear, but the welds on this $40 bub don't look nearly as perfect.

All this talk about everyone's slits firing is getting me all hot and bothered.

Wow.

Way to make me feel like I'm becoming like my mom, next up I'll be be baking cookies for our guests. Oh wait... No.

You telling me, I'm watching a video of the infamous, I have the infamous and I'm waiting on tubing. Talk about tease.

Did you get any water in your mouth *pause* like one of the guests hypothesized?

Corning no longer manufactures Pyrex-branded glass. World Kitchen, LLC, which was spun off from Corning in 1998, licensed the Pyrex brand for their own line of kitchenware products—differentiated by their use of clear tempered soda-lime glass instead of borosilicate.

So how are your slits? Do they all fire?

I have the Infamous as well, been using it with my Buddha recently. I need to check out myself in the mirror to see which of my slits are firing.

None in my mouth but the glass mouthpiece would get wet.



This is actually the setup i've used a few times, and did in the video.
It's a 14mm whip adapter connected to a whip connected to a non-diffused 18mm downstem.

Because all the openings in this weird mouthpiece are wider than the hole of the glass one it comes with, there is less drag. It is also very ergonomic for me as I'm still waiting for my bent-neck tube to be made.

 

[Dreamerr]

Yep us woman love pyrex...ok off topic but are you saying that the new company the glass isn't as good cause i have bought from them. I like corningwear as well. I will read the two links.

I will take a vid of my bubbler firing wed if I can figure out how to. I might get no water in my mouth because all my slits aren't firing I dunno. I still think it is cute and wouldn't want it any bigger. I suppose if all the slits were firing and I got back splash I wouldn't like that either.

Now were is boobs...he hasn't been around in a while and his input is fun.

 

[FrogBoy138]

I would guess the bubbler you guys and gal are talking about is made in India. I do love the size and looks of it and with the free vape elbow it's going to be hard to beat. But I would go easy on it and not take it into the mosh pit or boil it. I wish I had the money I would buy it!

 

[JSteez4205]

All my Sluts FIre or they get Fired...oh wait we're talkin' Slits, yeah they all Fire on mine... But I have an older model where the slits are a lower on the fixed stem.

I'm still at work so I will check it out when I get home. I will have to do the mirror test as well.
