Cheap High Quality Bubbler

  • Very helpfull.. D020 has been crossed off my list.
  • Now Im left wondering if the D020D is the best size for my smallest piece, or if the GB-187 should be the smallest size used and move up from there.
  • I am definitely considering other pieces, and once narrowed down will be posting here for advice.
  • I am very intrigued by these recyclers and incyclers, do they pair well with vapor?
  • GAS has hit very hard already and large amounts of money spent, its too late for me.
Just noticed my quotes didnt get uploaded, could this be because im using a tablet?

I don't own a Solo (yet), but from my understanding the enano is a heavy hitter compared to the Solo. I occasionally use the smaller D020 with my enano and it works, although it is right on the cusp of being to small. I was in a situation were all I had access to (for about a week) was an enano and a Do20-D and it worked out great.

My point? I think the Do20 or the D020-D would serve you fine. The GB/FC-187 will also serve you well from what I understand of the Solo. But I would most definitely not have a GB/FC-187 as your "smallest" piece. I have an original 187 as well as a 2nd batch one and I can notice the difference in total volume with my heavy hitting enano. That would be extrapolated in your situation.

If I had to pick one, I'd go with the D020-D. It's a great piece for the price.

GAS = Glass Acquisition Syndrome
VAS = Vaporizer Acquisition Syndrome

I first heard the term GAS from photography, which refers to collecting lenses.
Among my musician friends we've been loosely referring to Gear Aquisition Syndrome for guitarists who use too many effects and are usually the last to be done setting up...

There you go. Sunshine store is great. Ordered a frit to tornado than came in 7 days last month.

This.

The GB-187 is the knockoff from yingmang5 that you are looking for. I understand it is out of stock again.

A lot of us are excited about the FC-187 (sidecar version from a different vendor), but are unsure if s/he is "trusted" yet.

The D020-D from Sunshine Store is a great piece from a great vendor. I'd say 80% of what a GB/FC-187 is.

If you're looking for a nice piece with no worries, get the D020-D. If you don't mind waiting a few weeks, get a 187 variant.

Don't forget us electronic drummers. :rockon:That's were I learned it.

Thanks for that I should have mentioned 14mm joint do they do that size too? thanks

Not that I am aware of. Someone else know?

Negative on the 14mm, they are all 18mm. Someone else may have a suggestion, but I don't know of one.

D022 for the NANO is what I use!
D020 for the SOLO (smaller is bettèr)

FC - 187 for my NANO and LOTUS

Regarding the D 020 d
It has an 18 mm female joint. I have the Mobius Ion with 18 mm joint. I know you have a miniVAP so
I put my "wire basket module" into my Mobius 18 mm and cannot honestly determine if it seals. The 18 mm hole is slightly recessed so it appears the miniVAP doesn't quite seal---like short by 1/32" ???

One uses an inexpensive glass piece that slides into the 18 mm joint and reduces it to a 14 mm.
Here is the basket, resting in that adapter, which rests in the 18 mm joint.
I would guess dhGate carries these as it's simple/ basic/cheap/commonly needed piece...

hope link works

Kathy has a similar version of the 187 for $22 http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/christmas-glass-bong-water-pipe-barel-perk/213565100.html

I'm still waiting for the double vortex recycler (from Kathy) to land in the US, it showed up in China tracking on the 10th, so I am hoping to see something update soon. Really digging the honeystem nail :)

Thanks everyone Minnbopper do you think this one ok and where do I get a 18mm to 14 reducer? Thanks

I think this one might not handle the MV because the stem is on the side as opposed to minnbobbers stem in middle at top yes?

I edited my post ---added link to reducer.
Both of these are great options.
Slightly different look with stem vs sidecar mouthpiece but functionally very good
performance at 1/10 real Mobius price.

With one, it really smooths/moisturizes the hits. You can play with different water levels
and different water temps to fine tune the experience. I love warm or hot water to really humidify
the vapor.

These pieces here are super bargains---many shops carry these same pieces/ or clones thereof and charge $150 +.
It's a cheap way to try a well designed piece.

Messaged kathy asking for a function video saying that others are waiting on it too re: the klein (http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/2015-new-double-recycler-11-inches-glass/215177116.html)
Also to note this is probably the cheapest I've seen the d020 **especially for non-US people as there is free shipping intl. http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/2015-new-double-recycler-11-inches-glass/215177116.html , I have something very similar to the d020 and I'm even tempted for under 20 bucks. (no experience with that vendor though)

On another note: they seem to have learned and added glass bases for the honey straws.

Thoughts on this? I have concerns about the uptake tube/ splash guard filling with water, does anyone know if there are slits on it or if it is just open ended? Verry tempting, along with the recent vids FC members have posted.
Where did you find this one with the stand?

Anyone have a nectar collect at with thoughts or reviews? Know nothing about them or anything but want one for my reclaim.

I have the Pinnacle knockoff mouthpiece and a 14mm nail I paired to see if the anteater/nectar concept would work for me.

Turns out it's fun but too quirky to be a daily driver for me compared to a regular domeless nail (which also tastes better). The nail tip doesn't get all the oil like dropping it right onto a hot surface, and what's left is kind of like reclaim. As such, I found it to be more efficient to just dab right onto the nail, which was defeating the whole design purpose.

If you can find a slick stand that supports it vertically without contacting the hot nail, you may like it enough to use regularly - I never did. Once the nail is cool, I prop it up in the sunglasses box it travels in, so it doesn't spill.

The nail had a tendency to fall out (GET THE HANG OF THIS OVER A COUNTER OR SOMETHING ready to catch with oven mitt etc until you "know your rig") until I spread some light reclaim on the joint as glue. BE SURE it's all the way in before heating.

That rig is now packed away in my car to be ready for a party pleaser - it's still fun.

edit: The most efficient way I found is to use a cool domeless nail by itself (open bowl style) to "feed" the upright nail, and then use the low-temp-dab method to get the rest/cleanup: Cover the domeless nail with a carb-cap and torch the bottom-outside of the nail.

That's funny, my girlfriend used to say the same thing about this one

CUq2utF.jpg


I rightfully told her that she was crazy

(JK, I don't condone the use of penisphenalia)

HAHAHA!!!!! Looks like a Family Guy type of joke.

Got a quick question. I know about bongs when I used to combust. However, I have no idea about rigs and what are important characteristics. If someone can recommend something under $100. I will be using it with the old analog Dnail attached to a Hive ceramic. Please, someone help me with selection. I heard about the möbius??? Don't know the cost. Cheap and efficient, sturdy, and don't need name brand.

I like the bottom two. I don't know much about rigs but want to know what will work with a cheap Dnail setup with ceramic nail. I want to try both low and high temp dabs. Any suggestions?

After 5 (almost 6) days of my tracking for the FC-187 and Dabuccino not updating and also some worry from other members, I decided to contact Steven about it. He explained why it is taking so long and it is not a fake.

Here is a summary of what he said:

"first I should tell you the process of my sending.maybe you can understand it...

I am a factory and is located a remote town,so when finished production and I must send all boxes to the shipper warehouse in the city,there about need 3 days

Such as your order,I already packed and send to shipper before 5 days,yesterday parts of boxes arrive shipper warehouse,today,the boxes just be shipped out and the tracing No. start work...

In fact I should build a warehouse in city,so that I can ship fast in future,also I want build the warehouse in US,but I don't have any resource in your country,could you help me for this problem?or other member on FC.

Thnaks and best regards

Steven"

It looks like he also wants a warehouse in the US. If anyone can help him out or knows anyone that can help him out that would be awesome. 2-3 day priority mail for cheap high quality glass sounds damn good to me :D
