Cheap High Quality Bubbler

I don't really fault people, but it reminds me of how everyone used to badmouth Asian cars as being inferior then gradually they were acknowledged as equal/superior. Also most of the other products you use throughout your day probably won't be made in America unless you have really made a point of doing that.

I can see the point of buying American glass to get a unique piece of art, but a nail just seems like a tool to me.

I drive a '13 KIA Optima SXL and I love it lol.

But I hear u bud, that's y I edited and put in when I can. Clear glass I'll probably always get from China but I agree worked pieces should be from American blowers.

But my question still stands.

American or Chinese, is there a way to tell the difference between Quartz and boro or whatever?

Plenty of American heads shops probably lie their asses off too.

Quick question do most dropdowns fit on GB 187 / FC 187? I'm concerned it's too wide given the flat top
 
HyzerSoze,
@NickDlow yeah, I was going to bring up that point; it's not just headshops that might be feeding you a load of crap -- anyone in the distribution line could be falsifying statements. American companies still have to recall products due to safety issues. Just because someone told you "hey, this shit is Grade 2 Ti," doesn't mean that the product you're now selling to people is actually G2 Ti, it just means someone told you it is. I see websites claim that their product has been tested to ensure it is what it claims to be, but I rarely see anything to back it up. This includes whole product lines I use daily, at the suggestion of other FC members. (And basically every Ti coil pen on the market)

Yup n most head shops in my area have the shit written with a sharpie... seems legit lol. I'm definitely a skeptic in that department.

Ok, so that second video is no joke? Why is it the hugest ash catcher known to man? It would be less ridiculous if the piece were smaller, IMO. Of course, I'm not always down with big glass pieces, so maybe that's why it looks wonky to me. Or perhaps it's the pieces they chose to Frankenstein it to...

As for the high diffusion, I've known plenty of combusters who arent really trying to preserve flavor so much as slash n burn.

Edit: checked Pulse's page, and the piece they attach it to in their video is significantly larger than it, which makes it look waaaay less ridiculous (as far as size goes, anyway).

I'm still curious why they (Pulse) put a reclaim adapter after the perc, unless it's really meant as just a "plug" for when you haven't hooked it up to another piece.
:hmm:
It's not a reclaim catcher, it's an ash catcher outlet...
They show that in the vid.

Put a mouthpiece on the top - it's a bubbler.
Put the bottom joint into another piece, and it's an ash catcher...

Imo it's kinda silly to nitpic the size of the ash catcher relative to the piece they put it in in the video.

Who gives 2 shits what they put it into?
They showed you the design, and how it functions.
If you think it would only look sensible on a larger piece, then only use it on a larger piece...

I think they would have been smarter to find a torus/straight fab that was a little bit smaller, so that the ash catcher would have stayed level on the table while acting as an a/c - that would actually look pretty impressive if they could get their production tolerances that low (realistically no-one buying would end up with an exact fit like they could get for the video though...)

It's a little ugly but I'm surprised it's seen such an initial backlash...

I still really want the devastator Dammit :(

How come i can't find this piece of stevens store?

Also lol at the welding in the middle of the stem itself, so bad XD

also lol he's putting that bottom part on without a keck clip

honestly though ignoring the fact this thing doubles as an over-sized ash catcher i actually want it.

Is there a way to tell if something is REALLY Quartz?

I believe you are able to heat quartz red hot then toss it into a glass of ice water and it won't crack because quartz has a coe of 0. You can try that if you want, I'm not risking my perfectly good banger.

I've used the same jlhsmoking banger for 2 months with no issues. Boro would've for sure cracked by now... That my only test, I don't expect my quartz banger to crack from just heating/cooling cycles.

I think I have 3 or 4 bangers from hyman and when I'm home I'll do that test. But I'm not risking that test on my Errlectric quartz banger lol. But that came with certification anyway.

If that's a real way to test, I'm gonna go for it.

I wanted to find some further proof before you actually did it just in case I'm wrong. But I found this:

If you read the comments you'll see that's a 3000F glass blowing torch and this is their 10th repetition of this test, there was no failure prior to this.

Looks like you're good to go! Please let us know the results! Remember to be safe and protect your eyes

Will do. I'll make a video of it also.

Think I should use a propane torch or butane?

He has that high ass water level on that matrix ashcatcher/bub
Go hard or go home right?!?! Propane it is!

I'll be out of work in an hour an a half then I'll try this for science! :science:

Stole my words! Definitely do the test with propane. Looking forward to hearing from yu

Well here it is. I had six nails laid out 3 "Quartz" bangers from hyman I believe and 3 random glass nails that came with dhgate pieces. I didn't even up testing them. One cuz there was no point, you'll see. Two I was heating it then dropped it like a dumb ass. In my defense I had a long night at work and just vaped so I'm all thumbs. If u want to see me do them let me know.


I did 2 different bangers but figured one was enough for the video seeing I don't know shit about editing.

I appreciate it, but i honestly have no use for them. I've never dabbed off a nail period until yesterday and that was a friend's SmartDabb Electric nail. A torch just screams a fuck no for me, LOL. My friends SmartDabb was up high in my opinion and he tried to kill me with a huge dab. I took the dab but GOD it was harsh to my chest cavity. I dab daily with my EVO, but it's like vaping vs smoking when compared to hitting that "SmartDabb" What do you think it was?The temp perhaps? Or just to much crumble? Are You familiar with the SmartDabb? If so is it BS compared to MR EEERRL?

Well these bangers are for an enail, just not mine. I think their OD is 16mm so if ur buddy has a 16mm coil or if u get one u can use them. The little glass piece sticking out is a support for a coil.

But my Errlectric is my first and last enail. I don't have any experience with any other company nor do I have the desire lol.

But the harshness could be temp or quality of the material. I'd probably say temp. I use 480f-550f on my Ti I add 100f for the banger to compensate for the heat transfer.

The harshness probably has to do with the higher temperature and a bit of the dab size too. Ask him to lower the temp to around 680-710 to stay in the low temp range, might be more of your liking but more smoke to clear.

I've never used a Smart Dab but have used many others e nails. They all do the same thing (given you have a digital PID of some sort instead of analog). They all turn on draw electricity to heat up the coil to desired temp. I personally use a High 5 vape e nail and love it. I don't see myself ever paying more than $150 for a full e nail set up. So I guess to answer your question it depends on who you ask but I'd say no it's not BS since it most likely does the same thing. The only thing that I'd say might BS is the price of either unit.

Not sure what to make of this, guess it's what happens when non-cannabis consumers design glass pieces. The only possible use I can see for it would be a dual hose for 2 people to hit but that's it.


Its the Pulse glass rig/ashcatcher knockoff. Pretty cool, way too big.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Noticed this on my morning peruse...A bit different take vs the Yingmin version
