Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Can someone tell me the difference between the D020 and the D020--D?

D020 has 10 slits around a showerhead. The D020-D is slightly larger and has a matrix perc which provides more diffusion than the original D020.

If you're looking at the D020-D, I suggest you consider the GB-187 or the GB-187-S from Yingmin5 - it's a similar piece, but better build quality in my opinion. (Although Sunshinestore and Yingmin5 are both two of my favorite vendors on DHgate currently)

This one? http://m.dhgate.com/product/nectar-collector-kit-glass-bong-bubbler-glass/255410695.html#s2-15-1

If so, I just ordered one and it's shipped but still awhile out. I will gladly give a review and video if it's worth it. I ordered three different kinds on Sunday, and posted the links recently if you look at my history.

thank you , i did mean the one being made by Steven. I actually sent them a message regarding the hydro tube but a lady named Jane answered and was kind of clueless to what i was talking about.

Ah, I see. I am interested in that too, but from the previous posts I was thinking it might be a bit before those are available. If you get any new info keep us updated.

This made me realize, Stonemonkey55 said the hydratube design was only for the cloud, but what about nectar collectors :/ aren't they essentially hydratubes?

I'm also excited for the hydratube release, if that wasn't painfully obvious by now XD

The recycler concept is cool but it has the same issue that the original vapexhale hydratube recycler had, the perc is waaayy too low for it to properly recycle without having to fill way too much water into it causing massive chuggyness.

I am pretty torn about this issue. I think SM55 has some good points, but I also hate our patent system...which is not the fault of sm55 who is just playing by the existing rules. I see both sides of the coin on this one. I'm pretty much with you though, they all seem like hydrotubes to me.

The recycler style doesn't really do it for me (if you meant the one I linked) but I liked the extra height that one offered. If it simply works as a hydrotube without the recycling effect, I'll be happy. I haven't bought anything new in awhile, and I have the Zion coming at some point, so I'm on a bit of a buying/trying spree.

I think he was possibly saying this to try and protect his company. The hydro tubes can be used for a # of things .

Just realized I never paid for my FC-MOD :\
So I've paid for it now, should have it in a couple of days :lol:

I got a spare showerhead, I'm thinking I'll mostly use it with dual showerheads.

I've never had an issue with my CC on dhgate, but I get an SMS with a code to approve every purchase through DHGate, so I guess that's keeping me safe...
Do you mind me asking what you paid ?I just clicked on the two showerhead option and it bumped the price from 11 to 56. Is that right?and if I do the 1 showerhead option does that mean it will only come with one downstem aka the showerhead ?Thanks

Yeah, I think that joint is 22mm??? I've seen that on a few, and like the idea, but not a very universal joint.

@MichaelCompton mine did the same thing when I added it to the cart. $56.82 with matrix and showerhead. I didn't try it with one head only but assumed, yes, you would only get one. I don't mind the $56 but I'm concerned about qc and waiting.

(Sorry mods, can you combine these) Modnote: Apology accepted, posts merged.

Same here. I would jump all over it if It stayed at 11. Don't get why the steep increase because of one downstem. ..I may buy it as one and then buy another downstem at a heads hop if it only comes with one.

So I was just looking at Kathy0577's store and saw a couple new pieces, including this new (to me at least) mini straight fab:

http://m.dhgate.com/product/10inches-glass-bong-circulating-water-glass/249740038.html#pd-019

It looks pretty nice with the perc very close to the fab section, but I don't know about the three slit stemline... I like a smooth, low drag pull. Would this fit the bill?
I'd recommend the GB-194-1 instead, it's exactly what you want in that it is extremely smooth but without drag. The fab you linked to may be a bit chuggy due to the downward perc.

Now I'm confused, and just a little baked so bear with me. I was assuming just the stem was $11. Are you saying the whole thing is $11 if you don't get the matrix stem?

If you choose 1 matrix stem or 1 showerhead that is all they will send you (not the main body and ashcatcher of the fc-mod). This is in case you wanted a replacement or an extra.

Alright, that's what I was thinking. If that whole thing was $11, minus one stem I was ordering this second. Thank you

So i realized its not my matrix downstem in the fc mod that is too long..the inside bottom of the can has a almost raised nipple right in the middle,which doesnt allow the downstem to sit right...its like there is supposed to be a dip in it but its more of a raised hunk of glass..it totally affects function..

The $11 is for Just the downstem - no base, no ac.

I got the $56 regular (matrix/showerhead) setup, and the $11 individual showerhead.
It was like $2 cheaper than getting the 2 showerhead combo and a separate matrix :lol:

Edit: @MichaelCompton
No, the $11 stem is for a showerhead downstem on its own.
The $15 stem is for the matrix on its own.

The $5x options are for the actual piece and includes 2 downstems, 1 for each can.
