Cheap High Quality Bubbler

He needs to add some bracing on his stemless pieces. I'd take a chance on that reverse showerhead tube. Not the way it sticks out there, however. I'd also be interested in how thick and quality of glass. He's proud of the fact, its all hand blown... but no mention of materials.

Reverse Showerhead

Some good prices, if he's putting out good work. Look forward to delivery report/pictures.

Over the falls, in a barrel
Here's a friendly reminder to fellow "infamous" owners… Don't forget to take out the whip adapter when you're done! I had been trying to get myself to always remember to do this; I had already knocked it over a couple times, spilling a little water. It didn't help at all that my whip is 3 feet long, lots more length and weight to cause trouble.

Last night the whip pulled it over again, this time off the table and into the air, where it of course made contact with the leg of a chair, right against the 18mm GonG joint. Snapped it right off the bubbler. I'm no stranger to breaking glass so I'm not surprised, just a little disappointed in myself… I had been looking into getting a real VB hydrator, or a nice SSFG tube, or even a Lev piece, but I have to admit that the post-breakage mourning period has me thinking about saving up for a Steele Concept… Peace of mind and all. At least this was only $40, and the 18mm whip adapter and 14mm mouthpiece are still intact.

Any Ideas on how this would team up with the cloud. This is kind of what I am looking for though I am not familiar with the diffusion- Direct inject bubbler with dual perc cups - is it similar to a chugger ?

that perc looks like my friend's "inverted showerhead". his hits great, purrs, once we figured out the best water level.

how tall is that piece? i like the look of it

Nice piece, but there are a few things to consider when using it with the Cloud.

1. That piece has a DI connection, you will need a female to female adapter for use with the cloud. Either 14/18 or 18/18 depending on the size of the male DI joint on the piece.

2. The downstem is not 'braced' to the can. The cloud is a heavier vape and I would recommend finding a downstem that is connected to the can by a secondary brace. The joint from the downstem to the can may, or may not, be strong enough to support the Cloud on it's own. Should be fine for a while, but may break eventually due to stress.

Hope that helps!

I am not sure. I wrote a inquiry on the piece, I hope to hear back soon. Would less than 100$ be a good price ? If I had to guess, 10 - 12 ".


Thanks Hoops, that was quite helpful. Really I am just looking, probably won't be buying anything soon until I really know what I want.

Emphatically, YES, that's a really good deal. BUT you get what you pay for when it comes to many things...including glass. You may go through (4) $100 pieces before realizing you could have saved a lot of time just buying one $400 piece, however glass may break regardless of the price, to each his own.

I have a GBD piece and Sam at GBD is actually a pleasure to do business with. I expect he will reply very quickly. I asked him to secure a showerhead and extend the length of the downstem on my GBD FC bubbler, he did it at no charge and without a problem. If you see a piece on his site that you want, but just need to change something on it to meet your needs....ask Sam about it after he reply's.

My GBD bubbler is 5mm Chinese artistic glass I believe. I can't see how anyone could offer this piece at $100 using anything but Chinese glass. Which is not necessarily a negative to many.

What a guy!
I also can give a thumbs up to OGB. I had him make a custom mouthpiece for my FC bubbler. He was very helpful and got back to me right away, and I've had no complaints what so ever. About the use of Chinese glass, I know that a few of the blowers here on FC source their Boro glass from China. There's been some discussion herer as to whether Chinese sourced glass is quality or not. So every piece that I've gotten that the glass has been from China but the blower was here in the US has been excellent.

I finally received My glass piece from PipedDaddy (better said: from the customs) it's their "vapor glass bubbler". It's SO tiny!
Perfect for my use at the moment since it has to mate with an MFLB. MiniVAP is also present, got it today too and I cant wait to try it!
I'll use the bubbler with a Ti Nail (between the bub and the MFLB). I used the nail first some days go on a bong.
When I heated it it became red (ok), but after the use I noticed it has some blue residue/color on it. I think it's normal at least for the first uses mostly because that blue color is also present on www.doyoudab.com website. Does it mean I overheated it? How much do you have to Heat a nail? I made it to become red, than While I put the dome over it everything ready it cooled down so I re-heated a little bit and then I dabbed.

Not ghetto - That term has a bad rep, not that its a good thing to begin with.

Its just aluminum which throws me off and personally something someone young a naive would waste money on. I felt spot on in thinking that at the time.

But now that you mention it... That's a really good idea- Making a piece like that is all glass with 14/18 mm joint. Maybe a little diffusion in the downstem, it would then screw onto a typical glass bottle; for minimal luggage and if for a good price that is a real idea . Good job dudenextdoor


could even do the dome and nail thing, what I want one.
