Cheap High Quality Bubbler

FlyingLow

Team NO SLEEP!
Did anyone receive yingmin's 2 way conversion rig?




I see a lot of inline percs but have never tried one myself. For those that love this style perc, please enlighten me- what are its attributes? What do you like about them?

Do you have to pull fairly hard to get the far perc slits firing evenly with the front ones?

My hydrabomb knockoff from Lumin88 arrived the other day. It's just like shown on the pictures. Works amazing for the price but the joint is quite recessed so uses the silicon seal on the EVO to make it airtight. I preferred my now broken Evolver hydratube but with the risk of breaking glass I think this is much better value.

Will add a hydrabase once they come out with a revised version.

So basically I can use the new mouthpiece yingmin has or get something custom blown from oregonglassblower if I need a longer mouthpiece or w hatever?

I would buy this right now if an evo and a HT would fit on this but it looks a little tight as others have mentioned. Has anyone told Yingmin about it? I will take one for the team and order one if we can determine it works with the Evo and HT combo as intended.

any 18mm female mouthpiece would work or any mouthpiece with an adapter of course. The one from the Evo would do it, or any 18mm Hydrotube works for staking percs. That's what's it's designed to do. We love removable mouthpieces and stacking percs around here!

I just got a couple of Steven's FC-Mouthpieces. For $33 it's a great deal, but the female joint is recessed really far and one of the two won't even mate with my Evo. :( I know I can make it work with an adapter, but who wants to fuck around with that?

So many of these Chinese pieces seem to have the recessed joint problem, and I know a number of us have tried to explain to them to NOT do that, but it seems they either don't care, or can't. I'm not sure which.:hmm:

Those hydrabases are a great idea! I will have to get an inline on eventually and compare it to my original one. It's good that people who don't wanna spend the money can get some thing that at least has the same functionality. And God forbid mine ever breaks I'm not just screwed now :) still happy to have the original as I know getting one of those shower heads with equally firing percs could be a challenge and require me to buy 2-3 of them lol. Gotta love China glass.

@Stu i had drawn up two intakes showing how theirs are, and how it should be, but I've yet to see any changes to these joints being recessed. I believe @gaseous_clay has done the same without results also. I'm starting to think it's a limitation in the ground glass parts they are using.

Thanks for doing that. I think one of the only ways to correct this issue is as a group to file for a partial refund. If they are loosing money due to these 'design flaws' there are much more likely to take some action. If they keep selling the way they are they have no incentive to make changes.

Have you ever heard of PLUMBER TAPE? (TEFLON TAPE)

I have all of the HYDROTUBES from dhagate and they all don't fit. (LOOSE JOINT'S)

SHIM them their cheap!

UFO is a nice BASE. (FYI)

Almost everything i have is 18mm female. The GH works best with 14mm. Any suggestions for rad 14mm female pieces in the small to medium category you all would recommend via dhgate? I

I have GAS big time!
Water-pipes, ASH COLLECTORS, SHERLOCK'S (JHOOK'S), BUBBLER'S, GonG's, Mouth-pieces,
HYDRO-TUBES, Adapter's like crazy!

One adapter I would not be without: 18mm to 14mm reducer bushing. (I have 5)

Part's or fitting's like a plumber.

Think like a PIPE-FITTER.

GIANT TINKER TOY'S or LEGO'S


dhgate I buy 5 of everything I need because I break glass like a GREEK wedding!

I'm not even GREEK?

sunshine store on dhgate has stuff! (1st place to look)

I have both 14mm and 18mm to reduce my need for parts.
However part's I always need!

I do have a couple of reducers, and a 18mm to 14mm slide or two also. I could probably use another if they are cheap on dhgate. And a good slide for my Pur2Go.

But i am also looking for an excuse to burn 20 bucks. I will check out sunshine for sure. Thanks for advice.
