"But Moooooom, the other guys are doing it". "So, if they were jumping off a bridge, would you follow them?" "Uh, ... Which bridge?"now I feel silly thinking twice about the $50+ pieces.
I'm sticking with the "Cheap" glass, thank you very much.

I got one of these for a combustion friend. The only difference is his also has a turbine above the 3 waffle percs. It is probably a decent vape tube but for combusting it is a huge harsh hit. All the bubble stacking doesn't seem to cool things down that much but it sure does steal a lot of flavor. Personally I feel like there are a lot of better choices than this tubeJust ordered this guy from yingman5, shipped out next day with tracking. Does anyone own this or come across this piece before? Got good reviews but was hoping for a hands on review of this guy. Thanks!

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Noticed that a reti perc is available in singles...not as clean looking as the ones @Erwin linked earlier in the thread, but the mouthpiece is attached a bit higher.

The ball lifts when you hit it. Allowing some water to come into the bottom of the perc. I believe it acts like a Venturi effect. The vapor rushing past the hole creates a suction that lifts the ball and circulates the water.

As always, nice find @Dangus , you keep this thread moving in the right direction,
I like the other piece they have too. Looks like a D-020 (maybe bigger) but with a simple UFO type showerhead:
EDIT: Couldn't help myself. Reti perc ordered, thanks again @Dangus . I always wanted to try one and miss my D-020

Looks like a good one - but am a little concerned about how high the showerhead looks from the floor - especially on a piece so small. If it doesn't splash to the lips, I wouldn't mind having one. Nice find!!
On a different note - has anyone had any luck getting StevenImz79 to combine shipping? Think it may be time to pull the trigger on the FC-87 V2 and really wanting a 710 also. Many thanks!!!
Found another great thing about Chinese glass..... cleaned up and took one of my D020-W's to Denver with me. Was planning to clean it and bring it back, but after many, many dabs and some combusting with it (yeah, I know - but was great for my trip!) it was much too cruddy to clean quickly/easily in a hotel room. So just gave it, my cheap torch I got out there and remaining butane to a homeless guy on the street late the night before we left. He was excited to have it and I was happy to not have a bubbler in my bags on the way home. He figured he could easily get $50 for all of it, even being cruddy. Wouldn't doubt that for a second! Think I paid like $28 for it when I got it. Was well worth having "disposable" glass and MUCH cheaper than even the crappiest of bubblers I saw in Denver headshops, and as nice as anything I saw for up to $100. Just a thought for anyone traveling - especially to CO or WA. When I go again (soon I hope), I'll be picking up a cheapo to do the same with - or pulling another from the home inventory for later replacement with something different.
Also, the homeless situation in Downtown Denver looks pretty rough. Many folks having a hard time. I usually throw a buck or a cig at the first of the day who asks, but this dude was VERY HAPPY to have something he could get some decent cash for and excited he had something easy to sell and get that kind of money (I'm guessing it takes quite a bit of begging to get $50). He was so happy I finally relented after his continued persistence and let him give me a hug. Definitely a win/win in my book, except the hug was kind of scary and not the most pleasant smelling one I've had. But, certainly nothing a trench of some Denver kind in the MFLB couldn't fix!

Yeah... it does suck. I try not to judge, tho I assume for at least some they end up in a bad situation because of their own poor decisions. But, who knows? I could be in the same boat if not for luck and the help of friends and family at some key points in life. What bothers me is there were plenty of people bitching about the homeless problem there who were wearing suits that probably cost close to a month's pay for me, while others who didn't appear to be nearly as well off would throw some change or a buck in a cup. Nothing unusual there I know, but still pisses me off.
There was something that really struck me as weird though.... A few times my traveling partner and I ended up with leftovers from a meal. One time it was some really awesome food I kept and ate late night. But, the other times we gave our leftovers to people on the street. We even had a snafu at a restaurant where they really screwed up someones order and we ended up with a killer sushi roll to go we hadn't planned on. In all but one case where we gave people the food (about 8 or 9 times total), they were really surprised. I've done the same when staying in cities on East and West coasts for years, but never saw surprise like this from the recipients before. So.... seems like this doesn't happen much in Denver - in spite of the large number of conventions there and thousands who have been heading there recently for legal smokeout vacations. A crying shame IMO!
So hey.. if you're in Denver or anywhere else, throw a bone to someone if you can. How much are you really going to enjoy the last 2 pieces of your personal pizza, or that last few bites of burger and cold fries? Pass it on instead of throwing it in the trash and having someone dig there for it a day or two later! Same is even more true in Denver if you over-purchased in your excitement for legal weed, or have other things you don't want to take on the plane. Don't throw that shit away - pass it on to someone who will appreciate it!
Sorry for being off topic!!
But, sometimes I get a little 
at how people are and am thinking there are many out here who just never think of such things or don't give a shit because it isn't someone they know. For me or you or someone else a buck or a half eaten meal doesn't mean shit and has a better chance of being thrown out than eaten. But, for some people it could be their best meal of the week, and they don't even have to dumpster dive for it.

I'm trying to get some clarification on what all I'll need for my arizer air. I have the 14mm gong from PV and I'm looking at the dhgate d20 bubbler. What adapter/reducer do I need for all this to work?
I saw this one but not sure if it'll work. It sounds like I need an 18-14mm reducer. If I'm not mistaken the 14mm end would be female and the 18 would be male to fit into the 18mm female bowl on the d20. Is this right and where would I find the perfect adapter/reducer?

This one would be a better choice IMO. Local head shops probably carry these, as well as several other places online besides ebay.
If you have a 14mm gong why not just get a stellar piece that doesnt need an.adapter like the 711? Just my opinion that the extra 13$ would be better spent that way.

I'm open to any recommendations I'm just new to all these accessories and glass pieces. If I could find a 14mm bubbler that doesn't require any adapters or reducers to get it to work I'm all for it.
When I search dhgate all I seem to find are bubblers that have 14mm male ends. My gong has a male end from PV so I need a bubbler that has 14mm female so that I don't have to purchase and reducers.
How many 14mm female bubblers exists?

From what I've seen most pieces with a male end are usually geared toward concentrate rigs. I use my FC-711 (14mm female) with my log vapes and it's incredible! I will second the suggestion to pick that up. But if your looking at a 18mm piece a 18/14 reducer is not a big deal imo, it barely adds extra height.

The wait is killing me for my D020 to arrive. Ordered on the 5th, it left Beijing on the 12th and now I'm stuck in limbo. The tracking number doesn't work with Australia Post so I have no clue where it is. If it isn't here next week I will bite the bullet and probably order again lol.

@Gramin who did you order from? Down here in SA my SSS orders arrive in around 2 weeks and my Kathy orders arrive in about 3 weeks.
I thought I might chime in about 18/14 reducers too. I found that with my D020 the dewar joint was too deep for a low profile reducer and a had to use one of the longer ones.

Dude... don't sweat it so much. It will get there when it gets there. Not sure about how things work down there in the land of Oz, but give it at least a month before even giving it a second thought. Whatever you do, don't order another D020! Maybe something else if you like, but wait it out. If your luck is anything like mine, the first one will hit your doorstep within 24 hours of ordering the second one!

I searched fc711 on dhgate but it found no search results. Got a link by chance?

The ball in my 710 oscillates while I draw. I was guessing that produced the breaks in the upward vapor path? Perhaps without it, there'd be just an unbroken stream of vapor?

You have to use the hyphen in between "Fc" and "###": "fc-711"
Here's the link tho: http://www.dhgate.com/product/advan...quality-glass/218125920.html#s1-0-1|713763435
