Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Dabs are vapor too!
Just got my 8" Torus from Steven. Looks good, not perfect, but not really uneven like the mini straight fab I got from him. Just cleaned it out, and tested the perc, it vortexes nicely. One thing I didn't realize, you can't get that last bit of water out. The way the perc and recycler are, no matter which way you turn and shake, there's a little bit of water that won't come out, just have to let it dry up I guess. Anyone else notice this?

The FTK is similar (makes sense since it's also a torus) but luckily I can use the incycler "arm" to drain it out.

Can't suggest anything for you though.

I find blowing into the joint while holding a Torus upside down helps get more water out, but generally still a bit left.

Didn't work on mine, but thanks for the suggestion! Does this happen on the originals too, or just the china ones?

If you look at images of an authentic Mother ship Torus the incycler holes are pretty high up on the "chamber" (idk the term) so it looks like it should drain properly.

Again no help to you. Have you tried shaking the piece to get the water out the holes? Sometimes I have to do that with my FTK.

Make sure you've got a gorilla grip on it and shake it till it's dry.

I have one piece that wants to do that too. It's not a Torus but it takes a special technique.
Turn and shake, alone won't clear it. I have to turn it just the right direction and blow, turn to the next exact spot and blow, repeat until the journey is complete. Shaking doesn't get it past bad spots.

I had to know/ follow the exact path and help some trouble areas where it would just pool----With blowing while in the optimum holding spot, it helped get those last holding spots cleared.

Can you trace the exact flow and give a little air boost at the trouble spots?
I not talking anything fancy, just mouth to glass for a boost...

Yeah, I tried different ways, there's just too much distance to the inlet holes in the incycler.

So these are pretty reasonably priced ($120). Made in USA. And I think they will tick several boxes for many out there. It is a no-spill travel rig. With nectar collector tip, banger, mouthpiece and come-up. And he is giving one away on instagram Now.

Oven at a low/medium heat for 30min's?
I've never tried this, but I can't think why it wouldn't work.
I guess a fan oven circulating air might be a little quicker too.

Is it even worth getting that last bit of water out though?
Once you've cleaned and rinsed your glass the remaining water would be clean anyway right?

Look at their instagram and see how there is no pix of anyone blowing any glass. Then look at the perc and see how it is pretty much the same as the one on those mai-tai rigs that have been floating around. Not to mention that the color on the amber purple looks basically the same as some of those mai-tai rigs. Please get off it with the "China can't make high quality rigs", they can and do. The Chinese use plenty of imported glass like lemon drop and slyme so obviously they can get illuminati no sweat.

Edit: also the first pic on their instagram of a "prototype" is straight up China glass.

even if not imported they have neat looking yellow.... well at least in the picture it looks pretty snazzy.

That would work, but too much trouble. Our water is pretty hard, so it will leave a little mineral deposit. Not a huge issue, it just bugs me. Broke it in last night, it's pretty nice. I like the small degree of resistance it has. Might sell it on and order the mini Klein, which apparently doesn't have this problem.

First scientific piece I have really wanted in a little while. I hope I win it! ?My GF just got mad at me for having my PWTA in the car though. I am NOT in a legal state and I really should act like it I suppose. But dammit I love travel bubblers!! haha :doh:

I have a really good job and my family is here. Plus I get top notch medical grade of everything for the same price or less than if I was in a medical state, so I'm not missing out on anything. Legality has never been my #1 concern in life anyway although it would be nice lol.
If every cannabis user just moved to the already legal states those few states would be VERY over populated. We need to just keep the trend going and make it happen in EVERY state!

Ain't nothing better than the West Coast, I feel. I've travelled to Oregon, Washington and Arizona to visit. It was all nice with exception to Arizona's heat. But I live near the deserts in CA, so depending on where you land in Cali it could be similarly bad. I didn't see the marijuana culture first hand, I was still too young. But the climate!

I went as far as Texas to visit. All I could find was brick weed. And this was with my contractor boss smoking and showing me the lay of the land in that small town.

I definitely want to hit up Washington and Oregon again. This time as an adult and with weed!

Consider moving @mrbonsai420. I don't know how bad your state is, but if you are in get you locked up nowheresville, consider moving. The best voting you can do is with your feet and state. Some states will be the last to legalize or produce an MMJ program. No reason to lose your job and owe the state money for being jailed and released into a program. John Oliver did a segment on that.

Edit: I see. I wrote this up then took a break. Well good luck not getting fucked. o7

Edit2: You guys seen any glow in the dark pieces from china? Every time I've looked up glow glass almost nothing comes up. Some little lego look a like drip tips but that's about it. If you know of anywhere where I could get a medium to large piece of glow let me know. I see etsy sellers have glow pipes, but almost never anything bigger. I'm of course talking sub 150.

Yeah the shaping on this is super wonky, I wouldn't touch it for $170, looks like the work of a glassblower who took on a project beyond his talent level. I'm glad to see the Chinese pipe-makers expanding their horizons, for sure. I for one would love some nice & clean line work on DHgate rigs.
