^Sure Skeena. Fair enough. I've read plenty of informative posts here, I'll kick in every now and then..
^I like that site link nighteys.

Anyone ever have luck w.that "make offer" option? on ebay I always get denied or just pay the extra few bucks and get the order going. Of course some of my lowball offers rubbed some sellers the wrong way.

i've had luck with the make offer option on both ioffer and ebay. only saved a few bucks but better than nothing. i lowball on a lot stuff i dont really want but would buy if it was cheap enough lol, probably annoying to sellers but oh well.

Turdhole is ur username? That's funny as hell for some reason. I'm 42 going on 13.

Yeah, Oh well, that was kinda my opinion with the gruffy sellers.
I'm sure all those "few bucks" add up to a new piece/bag in the long run. Bidding on stuff you don't really want? Lol, that took me a second to see the wisdom in that.

UPDATE:My wifey just sweet talked an ebay seller way down!! WTF? Obviously I need more honey to catch those flys .

my nickname was turtle and somehow i started using turdhole as a version of that and it's just kind of stuck as my online name lol. I am 30 year old child haha.

as far as bidding on things i dont want, it's kind of an impulse thing, not my smartest moves for sure

Awesome stuff guys. I'm looking at those bingo deals...

In general, Honeycomb vs. Showerhead vs. Tree perk? Honeycomb may be a bit much for vapes? What about tree vs. shower.

I personally find most trees to be chuggy, with exception of the Black Leaf Saxo micro tree perc, but then it really does depend on the piece, but so far my experience has been that showerheads just seem to draw smoother, and work well with vaporizers as far as diffusion goes. Also there maybe more issues with breakage with the tree perc?? not sure how much of an issue that really is, guess it goes back to quality and design. I haven't used a honeycomb yet so I don't have the point of reference. I have used a fritted disk and that seemed to offer serious diffusion, made for a really smooth hit, but might sacrifice flavor a bit.

We're here to fuck shit up.
Okay, my AliEx Bubblers arrived today. All three were packaged well. No breaks or cracks in anything. All three have a much better build quality than I thought they would. A few bubbles here and there, but nothing serious. One was sent with a 14mm bowl instead of 19mm, but I'll never use it anyway. The percs are all insanely high in the can, but it doesn't make these useless, you just need a lot of water.

Please forgive my amateur review. I've never done one before. I've never even spoken in any of my videos, so here it goes.

Not aware at all! I'll be giving that one to an oilhead buddy of mine. I know he won't give a damn.

The Bingo Double Showerhead showed up today from Pipesdaddy. First things first. The case it comes in is sturdy as fuck (pic) and the cutouts in the foam are perfect. More cutouts can be added by the user for more accessories (pic).

The storage jar is just that. There is a closed weld that does not offer access to the lower 19mm joint from the can itself (pic). It's more of a novelty than a useful joint.

The build quality is solid! I'm not 100% sure, but I think the can and base are 5mm and the mouthpiece section is made with 3mm. Please don't hold me to this because I am honestly not sure. The welds are clean, the braces are sturdy, the joints are solid and chamfered. I'm not seeing any bubbles. The 2x Showerhead and the cuts in them are fucking perfect! It's reinforced to the bottom. The only problem is that only the top one fires (vid 1) unless you are pulling like a maniac (vid 2). The upside is that the pull on this thing is smooooth. Almost no drag and no perceivable chug that I can feel. Stacking action is excellent. I like the mouthpiece on this bubbler. It is solid and a great length for this piece.

The 19mm joint up top is countersunk. I see this as a downside because it will not work with certain adapters that may have a large flange between joints. For instance, I can not use my inline AC with this piece without a 19mm male to 19mm female adapter, but the only one I own has a flange between the two joints and that flange comes into contact with the top of the can before it seats all the way within the 19mm joint.

I hate the logo and will be removing it.

Any questions, just ask. Pictures and video time!











The closed weld at the mouthpiece.

I pulled the trigger on this too, just getting into glass and the price was hard to resist, cheaper than a seafood lunch for the family. Bent removable mouthpiece was a key selling point.

yeah, I didn't order any of those 3 in the vids, but expect the single showerhead to be similar. For the price, I'm not expecting anything more than what you showed us in your vids. Knock around pieces for clumsy or inexperienced guests and travel, depending on the situation. Thanks for posting your review!

I went with the double Showerhead because it seemed the most sturdy. Good sized base, reinforced perc, double braced at the mouthpiece, and Keck clips to use to attach the jar and female mouthpiece. It purrs like a kitten when you hit it, even though the lower Showerhead only fires when clearing. It is an exceptional package for the paltry sum. I think you will enjoy it very much.

Good score on the AliEx bubblers. Bad news for me and anyone else that was waiting looks like the seller has been removed.

LOL well crossing my fingers they get here soon It's been 14 days since I placed the order. Maybe errrly next week. ;) Glad to see so many positive reports yet again.

Good thread, good info. Helped me out.

I settled on this.

http://www.gogopipes.com/Glass_Bubbler-honey_comb_bubblers.html

Cheap, clean, honeycomb, oilrig. $10 shipping. Will run it to a MFLB, Iolite, and PD @least.

First time @that site. Hope they don't suck.

Follow up.
  1. Great site, easy 2nav, wonderful zoom option on everything. A little more professional layout than other wholesalers' template sites. I found some hokey ones.
  2. Easy order. Solid tracking. Showed up on the 3rd day. LIGHTNING fast ship! I think it came from Wa?
  3. Insured. No sig. Complete bubble wrap was ok. White USPS box. gogo on addy.
  4. Piece is as described dimensions
  5. Works as expected. Soft bubble, easy draw, nice ergonomics actually, has a pistol grip quality. I prefer full body honeycombs over downstems or perc arms. "Chuggy" like the man said. Improved PD experience by 50% but any waterpipe would imo.
  6. Haven't used Nail/dome yet. Waiting on things to ship.
  7. MAJOR MALFUNCTION. Plz note the bottom of the intake in the catalogue pics. The foot appears to rest on the tabletop and help stabilize things. Mine doesn't there's a 3/8" air gap under it. It can easily tip fwd.
  8. I used a PD and a approx. 1/2"surgical tube. Sticks in the bubb nice w.no adapters, give it a lick and it'll go. But how to clear this thing? Pull the stem out of the PD? Fine, but I can't blowback the ABV. Trying to get the tube in the bubb every hit is annoying, same for the stem end. So what's that take? A WonG ?
  9. The weight of the tube will tipp it. The tube tension between pieces can tipp it
  10. I pay shipping (& optional insurance) Approx$10.
Gap under intake doesn't touch surface. Wrecks this piece.

If you push these any closer together the bubbler will shoot off the edge.

Going to fire them a mssg and see what's up. Is it Russian roulette or did I get a Holiday weekender?

Can't rate it proper until I get a company answer but so far...........FAIL. Sorry bout my luck

^$28 is high end. I don't blame em for trying I guess. Sometimes shops can reduce or match prices (touchy but can happen) We vote with our money imo.

I've got some great resources from FC already.
