Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[alltoreup]

$18 ha! Must be paying for that Swiss quality. Im sure the$2 ones from my local smoke shop are straight from China but I bet they work just as well. Another reason I only look at pictures on Aqualab.

I've never had any issues with my plastic k clips breaking anything, but I have read of people that have. Unless you take them on and off a bunch it probably won't make any difference especially in that setup I made. The metal ones were the same price as the plastic ones locally so I tried them out.

 

[Mister G]

I don't think I would use metal clips at any price, the plastic ones work fine and don't make me worried it will scratch my glass.

 

[cybrguy]

$1.80 is standard price at local smoke shop.

For metal? I'd buy those. Maybe aqualabs misplaced a decimal point? Probably not...

I don't think I would use metal clips at any price, the plastic ones work fine and don't make me worried it will scratch my glass.

I DO struggle with the plastic ones sometimes, but not enough to get them at that price. I would get some at $1.80 tho...

Not for metal (stainless).

Holy Mackerel. $18 each for the metal keck clips? Use a couple and it equals the cost of the piece...

Ouch...

There's a thread or two here somewhere with a few sources for better prices... found one - Inexpensive Keck Clip suppliers. I like the simple wire clips, they're great if you don't need a very tight hold.

These clips are made for this purpose, they do not scratch the glass.

Today was one of those days!

My FC-711 / Mini-Pillar has arrived! Looks perfect aside from some bubbles in the joint support. I'm using mine for dabbing only and I think it's going to serve that purpose well.

After only using the FC-710 and D-Cycler for the last few weeks, hitting the mini-pillar feels a lot more airy which is a nice change. When you pull on it, the water is sucked up the tubes and diffuses as large bubbles in the top part, I can pull as hard as possible and get no splashback in the mouthpiece. Flavor seems good from the 2 hits I've taken so far, will have to do more testing after work. I can feel a bit of chug but it's more like a light rumble which I actually kind of like.

Herborizer sells them for €3.90 but it ships from france.

...just noticed they are a slightly different style. ALT are flat metal and the one from herbo are bent wire.

Can anyone recommend me a decent oil piece that uses an 18mm female joint?

I've already got a D020 but I feel like that's already too much percolation and want something like a <4 hole.

hmmm, i was gonna say the DO20, bc thats one i use out of my 3 dab rigs... and it was my 1st dab rig, all the beginner dabbers like to use it, even over my 300$ Hitman fastech, jus bc its easier! haha but it DOES hit nice too! but obv. u kno that if you already have one, hmmm, besides that, id saaaay a DO22, but thats MORE diffusion i guess... EVEN though A LOT of ppl like it as their DD for dabs.. im tryin to think of less diffusion... ill get back to you when i remember some...

Have you checked out the FC-710?

 

[snamuh]

So, I'm thinking of getting a new set up. I have some questions, mainly about accessories for oils or whatever..
I want this...

and I was thinking of getting a nail or whatever else is used for oils while im at it...
does this one look good? I have little knowledge of nails... I want something healthy... I'm open to other device like bangers(?) also anyone have recommendations? I dont want to spend more than 10-15$

a nectar collector would be dope too... If anyone has insight into this type or set up let me know! as far as I know there are a few options for oils I guess cheap is what i'm looking for though.

on the other hand it would be amazing to see a solid solution for the e-nano and oils....no pads cotton or ss...

edit:
I totally forgot that the wp comes with that glass nail thing... how are those? I want something that isnt messy...

edit 2:
also... I was kind of thinking of a smaller version of that wp if one exists.

You didn't link to a nail, just the bong you want again.

That design doesn't interest me at all, so I can't really help ya with recommendations for similar rigs, but I'd def suggest you check out the FC-710 (diffusion pump knockoff) or the Kathy egg (though that has seen some issues with build quality so far)

Once you've decided what rig you want exactly, you can start to decide your nail setup.

There's nothing wrong with using the included glass nail a couple of times, but glass is not happy with such intense heating and cooling cycles that dabbing will expose it to, and they break really quickly.

A lot of people seem sketched out by Chinese titanium, citing the possibility of chinese Ti not being grade 2.
That has never really bothered me, so I've got a couple of Chinese Ti domeless nails.

They're cool, but I haven't used anything but my Quartz bangers since I got them.

My recommendation would be to grab yourself a Quartz banger.
I'm pretty sure Kathy has just about every joint setup for Quartz bangers now.

Ah whoops... It was Kathy's ti 4 in one nail... 14 and 18 male and female. Grade 2 ti supposedly.

I think I want that glass... I'm not too diehard about this stuff, so I think it will suit me fine.

I saw my first nail in action the other day... My buddy had a wp similar to the one I want but it was smaller... He had a ceramic nail and ti carb cover...

I also have a fc187v1

Kathys 2nd double recycler - the shower head to honeycomb.

I prefer the other double recycler.
This one has a weird hit to it...
When you first hit it, bubbles go back up the return funnels for a second, then the diffusion levels out and that stops.
It gives the hit a strange feel as the feel of the airflow changes about a second in...

14mm male (as always ), and the joint is almost at a 45 degree angle

It's fun, but there's better options out there for this one Imo.

 

[Frederick McGuire]

Aaand, Kathys 1st double recycler

Bonus mini dab:

I much prefer this one to the shower head to honeycomb one.
14mm male
The joint is still at an angle, but not as much as the other one.
It's got a little inline perc in there.

It seems to smooth out the hit just as much as the larger and more diffused one...

 

[budz and bhombs]

hey, sorry, but i kinda have a newby ? whats the Mobious copy called do i can order one if wanted, but would i like this piece for combustion?! im just asking for the ppl who DO combust here and there and maybe have used this piece, i just feel like the matrix percs would full of crap, and i wouldnt want that! but thats what id be getting it for, combustion... if anyone has any pointers, anything to help me, PLEASE let me know. BASICALLY im asking is the copy mobious stereo piece worth having for combustion use?? bc i still combust, i only use my DBV as my only vape right now... WHICH I LOOOVE! But i ALSO LOVE my glass!

 

[Oglop]

Just picked up this Upline knockoff after waiting 3 months. This thing has to be made by a very experienced worker, especially when compared to all all my other China glass. I think this is the best looking piece I've ever gotten from DHgate as of yet.

http://www.dhgate.com/product/-wing-glass-bongs-pro-sloe/213047591.html#myaccount_orderdetail-1-null

I don't know if i can recommend it at the price they are asking now, but for $82 this thing is a fucking steal!

The Mobius Stereo Matrix knockoff is the gb-186 from Yingmin5. It's an amazing piece, and he's a great seller. Ships fast, thick glass, well cut percs, ton of bubble wrap.

He has other pieces that look very well made, and this incycler in particular is 70% off, too bad the video doesn't show a water test.
Great find @Oglop.

All i use the nano for is concentrates with ss wool. Its amazing. Just my experience.

Well... If you're gonna combust, and don't want the percs getting gross, you'll be cleaning A LOT.

Use NACE, or rezblock.
Frequent hot water flushes (I'd say at least every day you smoke through it), and
A thorough PBW or ISO wash relatively regularly.

If you follow those steps you shouldn't have any issues with the percs etc getting nasty.

So, I just received my first ever order from DHGate. I ordered 1 of the D-Cyclers back on 2/14. Showed up today, 12 days, not bad. Imagine my surprise when I went to pickup my package from the desk at my condo, and was handed two boxes!?!? but, I only ordered 1!

Anyone have this happen to them before? Looks like they just duplicated my order, both packages have the same tracking.

Happy Chinese new year to me? My account on DHGate only shows 1 ordered, and I was for sure only charged for 1.
2 D-Cyclers and 2 ceramic nails/caps for $44. Happy Chinese New Year to all!

Now it's time to go break one of them in.

 

[PoopMachine]

Coming up on almost a month since my 710 updated tracking.. this is getting frustrating.

My Dcycler should be here tomorrow. I ordered it 2 weeks after the 710.

 

[ragnorak71]

well hello all, got a d020 and loving it but looking for a recommendation for something a little bigger.

anyone got any ideas for a good match for my solo (14mm) at around 35-40cm?

tia

 

[little maggie]

Not too happy with stevenlmz79. I placed one order at the end of January and one the first week of February and neither have shipped yet. I know the Chinese holiday slowed things down but this is absurd. I'm sticking with Sunshine store. I'm going to try canceling these orders. Can someone recommend a water device that will work with my new haze from this store or someone more reliable?? I had the DO-20 and another DO-20-2-W. Need a female and prefer 14mm.
