Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[Delta3DStudios]

Ah dang, glad I waited for reports first!

We'll see if everyone else has the same issue...

And now FC-MOD risks... Hmm need to decide if it's worth the risk. $53 still isn't so cheap (plus the long shipping wait), more than I've spent on any china glass to date at least

I too was waiting for the first reports before I jumped on the FC-MOD design. Maybe we can convince a different DHgate vendor like Yingmin5 / Sunshinestore / CleanClearGlass to reproduce the same piece with better quality.

I hate to say it, but I'm really glad I'm avoiding Steven - seems like you've got a 50/50 chance these days on getting something functional and usable.

Fingers crossed that my HT is usable. So far I've gotten lucky.

I didn't know you had an EVO??!! What do you think?

Well, I think worse case scenario is that it won't work for the EVO.

Ok, just tried it properly and the problem is there but it isn't as bad as I thought. Actually I'm able to use it, the bad seal is not as bad.

If I try to draw with my finger in the end of the bamboo there is a tinny bit of air entering between the conection of the HT and EVO, really tiny and you can see just a few small bubbles inside the HT. But it's so small that you can use it without problem. You can milk the HT with no problem, but it's a bit anoying that the piece is not perfect. I will write Steven to tell him about it and how to improve the design.

I think that almost everyone that has had a Cloud and used it in different glass has found this problem with some bubblers. As another user said an adapter is enough to help with this, but no one to uses an adapter with an HT.

Can you post a few pics ?

I just contacted sunshinestore and cleanclearglass to see if they'd be interested in producing pieces for us. If they are interested, I will send them the designs for the Rattle Can (formerly dp-mini), Coil Can (formerly dp-twist), and the DP-UFO.

I imagine the FC-MOD could be reproduced using only the listing as reference, so it should be easy to do. I will make that request if I hear back and things move forward.

So is Yingman5 reputable? I've only ordered from sunshine before, and had a great experience. Right now I'm looking at picking up a GB-187 to smoke and vape out of.

 

[DrSteez]

is the fc-710 still the bees knees?

im thinking of picking this up soon, but am kind of iffy. mostly will buy it, just need reassurance i suppose.


also, I'll be pairing it with a drop down and a quartz banger...can't' invest into enails at this time.

^^^ 710 whip is only $150.

Haven't used it myself, but it seems to get good PR.
Full ceramic air path.


FC-710 gets nothing but positive response here.
There may be a couple of new diffusion pump designs coming out soon though.
Any additional update on those @shark sandwich?

 

[Shit Snacks]

Alright who wants to briefly explain to me how a recycler, specifically the diffusion pump, works exactly?

Double filtration? What's the benefit? Is it only a concentrate thing which I can pretty much ignore, or good for herbs at all? Just thinking the Grasshopper could mate to a male joint easily at least...

That's full price, if you stalk his Instagram you can get it for $100 when there's a sale (Black Friday is coming).

A recycler is different from a diffusion pump.

A recycler works by constantly circulating water throughout the piece - the idea is cool (and fresher) water is making contact with the diffusion. I find my recyclers with similar perc designs provide more diffusion than the non-recycling counterparts. So far I really haven't found a recycler which retains maximum flavor - but if you're looking for a smooth hit, recyclers certainly deliver.

Diffusion pumps are a bit of the other side of the spectrum. The DP provides very minimal diffusion while still moisturizing the vapor.

I was pleasantly surprised when I paired my FC-710 with the E-Nano with dry herbs. There was a noticeable improvement in flavor when using identical conditions between the 710 and my GB-187-S (which is my favorite).

The only tradeoffs I hate about the FC-710 is the loud rattling ball clinking around (roommates will know every time you're ripping the 710), and it has a damn 14mm MALE fitting instead of a female fitting

Beautiful, thanks bud

Anyone see or try this one?

http://www.dhgate.com/product/2015-...recinfo=8,0,4#vhpd-4-5|null:0#dt1501-viewed-4

Looks like alot of diffusion, but that removable, chilleable return coil looks interesting.
I can't tell how one removes it from the main body?


And now they're attempting to knock off Liquid Glass Arts:

http://www.dhgate.com/product/two-f...11742326.html?recinfo=8,45,4#cppd-4-5|null:45

If someone picks this up I would be interested in hearing their opinion (and seeing a function video).

Steven has been busy with a large order, and work on the new pump designs has been at a stand-still as a result. I'm now sending those designs to other manufacturers. If all goes well, we should have higher quality pieces made available to us sooner.

 

[LazyIdol]

Shelf that I keep all my vaping stuff on fell today while I was studying at a friend's house. Luckily my DO20 and enano 18mm adaptor are still alive so I am still in busines.

Water all over my new keyboard (hoping it still works)

Broken claisen (already ordered a new one)

Broken Gb-187
Is yingmin the place to go for these still? How has quality been?


Sorry if this post is annoying, mods feel free to delete. Just figured I might get an answer before I get a chance to comb through this thread more thoroughly. Any help is appreciated

so should I wait? I recently dropped my old piece and now have a makeshift mod tornado coil to take dabs with until i get my small bubbler with nail from my buddy.

I was thinking of getting that fc-710, but if you think I should wait for a better product (hopefully soon) I'll do that. There's also this concentrates expo thing in LA december where maybe I can get deals on glass.


either way, let me know, buy or no buy?

what exactly did you link me to? how does that work? do you just attach that to your glass?

 

[Treeburner]

Received my first DHgate order yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised to find the craftsmanship is flawless and the function perfect. I was concerned that the low price might equate to low quality, but that's certainly not the case with this bubbler.

Still have three more pieces on the way - hoping the triple honeycomb bong and blue D020 I picked up turn out as good as this bubbler!

[CrazyCannuck]

Here is something old but new from Steven. Looks like he made a new batch of the Binary Matrix knockoffs but this time it is 18mm. Looks pretty good, need to stop checking DHGate

http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/2015-new-26cm-height-glass-bongs-2-crossed/248263683.html

BTW, I also received FC-MP. My MP is exactly like what is being described, 18mm joint is to deep. Mighty with Muzzmod does not fit unless I use an adapter. It does work quite well though.

Cheers

So... how is the new stevenlmz79 hydratube?http://www.dhgate.com/store/14770203#st-navigation-storehome

Did anyone receive his yet?

So is Yingman5 reputable? I've only ordered from sunshine before, and had a great experience. Right now I'm looking at picking up a GB-187 to smoke and vape out of.

It was a few months ago, but the piece I bought from Yingmin was packaged pretty nicely and IMO was better quality glass than the piece I bought from Kathy. YMMV but I was happy with it. Got a sidecar fritted disc from Yingmin for like $30-$35, I rarely used it, and it was blown to such quality that a friend of a friend was happy to buy it from me for $60 lol.

 

[Likes2vape]

I think he thought you were asking about the 710whip which is what is linked. It is an enail deceive for concentrates. You would still need a water piece to use it through.

I haven't used the FC-710 but a lot of people like it.

Two reports so far, the 18mm female is too deep for use with all vapes. See previous page. Hopefully it gets fixed up soon, I want one for my Evo (and others eventually)

 

[cmdcwww5]

Do you think the deep 18mm joint would be a problem with the HA Elite? (TonG mouthpiece)

 

[steven22]

Im looking for a nice bubbler under $50. I just recently discovered dhgate because of this thread but there are so many options. I want to use it mostly for combusting flowers. I am replacing a broken weedstar double bubbler which I really liked. very smooth hits while combusting and pretty good for dabs as well.

So far I see everyone talking about sunshine store, mobius and FC. the FC stuff is mainly for vaping right?

I would like something with 18.8mm and nothing too small where it would lead to water getting in your mouth.

I could get another weedstar double bubbler 3.0 for about $45 shipped because of some grasscity gift cards, but are there better options on dhgate? Only Gripe i have with the weedstar is it has stable base and could be knocked over easily.

thanks in advance
