Cheap High Quality Bubbler

My D020-D got broken but for the short time I had it, I loved it (paired with Solo). Now have a replacement D020-D coming, along with yingmin's GB-187.

Haven't tried the GB-187 yet, but if it's anything like the D020-D just bigger, I think I'll also love it... (D020-D while amazing felt a little on the small side sometimes)

These are dry pipes but I had to post them. I cannot help but think they are the Chinese version of an Elbo Dino and Joe Peters/Scott Tribble dragon lol.

I loved my d020-D too, for a long time. Once I got my hands on the gb-187 though, I gave the d020-D away. As far as just the quality of the matrix percs, it seems to me like yingmin's got it down the best. Steven's aren't bad, but yingmin tends to make more even percs with finer detail and a bit more diffusion.

For me, more diffusion is the last thing I would want. As it is, as compared to my SC Tube that had less diffusion than the D020-D, I've lost about 70% of the taste as compared to my SC Tube but what I like MUCH better than my SC Tube is that the D-220-D has virtually no chug. Just like the way it hits better but I do miss that taste and is the reason that I took my SC Tube out of the classifieds.
 
Nice :D

The construction is a little weird, it's got a shower head type perc at the bottom there, but it's reverse flow...
As you can see I barely submerge the perc with water. During a hit it percs nicely up that middle clear chamber.

The handle is not open to the main can - no water or vapor can enter.

It can stand up (on the umm, butt? The base of the handle... No idea what that part is called on a pistol...) pretty nicely:) I was expecting it'd have to be a lay down piece :)

14mm male :(


I have a keyboard shortcut on my phone - if I type in "gac", it corrects it to "Goddamn autocorrect..."

It has saved me a lot of time :lol:
I love that little monster! It's a flavor BEAST!!

Just got my Dcycler! So far I'm loving it. Real smooth draw with just the right amount of chug and diffusion IMO. It doesn't vortex quite as smoothly as my other CCG recycler (http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/new-popular-design-recycled-water-glass-water/210841650.html) but is much nicer to use (the angle of the mp on my old one is really, really terrible). It looks like the two pieces that will live on my table rather than my shelf are now my FC-710 with a banger nail and the Dcycler with a honey bucket (Chinese for now, JoDa's coming soon). Once I get dropdowns for both, my setup will officially be complete. :rockon:

Almost more impressive than the piece itself, however, was the shipping. My last order from CCG (which was a while ago) took almost a month. This, on the other hand, was by far the fastest I've every gotten anything from China. I ordered on the 2nd, the package shipped out that day, it left China by the 4th and got to LA on the 6th (two days!). The longest time in transit was traveling up the coast from LA, and it was at my door this morning. Damn CCG, you're seriously stepping up your game.:clap:
 
:wave:Hi, maybe it's already been said but I'll probably have been careless, and also I didn't read all the 600 pages;
I wanted to ask you if you know of shops in Europe selling bubbler/scrubbers/bongs?. Unfortunately I have only visited us websites that have excellent quality, but from America is too far away to send an object in glass ...
:peace::leaf:

:peace::leaf:

I could be wrong but I think @Herr_Dampf has the most experience with European glass sellers? This thread is almost entirely about sourcing from China, which you may want to consider and ask other EU FC members about.
 
hanks for the reply ; I'll try to look for one , hoping to be lucky .
however there are really beautiful glass objects

worth the risk of getting an object so fragile to ship from China or America ?

@Robert Nesta Marley the people in China are pros at packaging and shipping glass. Most of us here get glass shipped to us from China on a regular basis, and although there is occasional breakage, most pieces arrive in one piece. I, for one, have placed ~20 orders to the US, and have never had something show up broken from a DHgate seller.


On a different note I seem to remember that, a while back, people around here were searching for a proper reti perc. If I recall correctly this exact piece was brought up, but was pricey and not available on DHgate at the time:

Neither of those things are the case any longer. I'd go for it myself for 36 bucks if only the mouthpiece connected to the can at the top. I've had real reti percs in the past, and I'd imagine you'd end up drinking a good bit of water with the location of that connection. Still, for those of you wanting a reti perc, this is by far the best I've seen from China.

Except for those minis last month, right?

marley mate, i have ordered a couple of pieces so far from dhgate and found it to be great. I am in uk but had no issues with shipping (as in receiving) incredibly well packaged as in death by bubblewrap and at the costs i say go for it

:tup:ragnorak great , thank you, I is useful your testimony .
Personally I do not understand why in my country ( and part Eu . ) Of objects of glass so if they are not , or if there are cost three times more.
Glass is durable , lab ?
I was just looking at the site recommended by Erwin:leaf::peace:
I saw this

So, I have mentioned before (often :o) how much I like the D022. It is a tall thin can with a detachable downstem with a slitted showerhead perc on a 24mm joint that has a "tumor" with a small double slit perc inside that leads to the mouthpiece tube. The tumor sets off the MP tube so you have a decent look at the can and I like that for hitting the Lotus.

I have said before I could do without the perc in the tumor as I think it reduces flavor.

I happened to drop by the Lotus page and noticed that they are now selling an "ash catcher" from Grav Labs to go with their J-Hook, that when paired together look a lot like the D022 without the tumor and perc. It also appears to have a detachable downstem (easy cleaning) on a 24mm joint (it might be 18mm) with a smaller showerhead perc, reducing even further the diffusion. The can looks to be about 2 inches shorter, which is fine with me. http://www.lotusvaporizer.com/node/337

For those out there who love the D022, we know who you are:brow:, this may even be better...

Or not.

Ordered. I'll let ya know.

I'll be looking for that. I planned on replacing my d022 with the ufo piece stevenlmz will be coming out with. I'd like to know how this functions.

Has anyone tried this odd fellow? I am curious how it looks close up and how it works...

@cybrguy Sorry for the super late post (I had to take a tolerance break for a while and all the posts on here are just nothing but temptation) but I just saw that CCG posted this..


Doesn't really show a water test but he moves it around a lot so hopefully you can get the angle / close up you wanted

I'm not doing a good job of ordering. I got the mini pillar today and it's a lot like the last glass I bought with slight deviations. I thought it had a female connector but it has a male.
What I want is something like the DO20 but with a 14.4mm connector instead of the 18mm. Any suggestions?

18>14 reducers can be pretty low profile and could make a lot of water tools work for you.
