yes there is the slightest chug but it doesn't really bother me at all. I think it's because the perc is set a little higher than it really should be, but for $28 I have no complaints. I think it preserves flavor and cools better than my infamous. Full disclosure though I have only had the chance to take 2 dabs out of it so far as I am preparing for a potential drug test (I took the dabs after finding out my interview has been pushed back at least 3 weeks).

Yeah, I wouldn't want the frits to be any finer, would definitely add too much drag.
As it stands now, this bub has a lil more drag than my DGs, I think the frit is a pretty similar size, I'll have to get them all next to each other and compare them.

I've also got a GBD fritter hydratube on the way, so I'll have 5 fritter pieces once I receive it :D

Dang... the thing must have a lot more drag than the Goldstein SubMicro I water tested recently- according to NVS glassworks in portland, it has a coarser frit than normal goldsteins (and the disk is smaller in diameter). Eh, that's ok- honestly, I think my Thermovape Cera (Loose Leaf) actually likes drag- given that the slower air moves through it, the bigger the rip. IDK- how does it compare to the goldstein with your solo?

The double doesn't have much more drag than the DG Frits, but I haven't done a side by side comparison.

Just due to its design a frit perc is gonna be relatively high drag.

I've had a few dabs, 1 solo load, and a few LSV loads through the double fritter so far.
I wouldn't go to it as my only piece for pairing with the solo, but they pair well (my favorite piece of glass for solo use is my hydratube).
Keep in mind I have yet to use a piece of glass that I thought didn't pair well with vapes (just vapes that don't pair well with glass :lol:)

I don't know if this helps, but I was pleasantly surprised how close the drag was to my DG Frits.
I was thinking that 2 discs could be very draggy, but I as I said above, there really isn't that much more drag.

If you've tried a DG and found it too draggy, I'd avoid this piece, but if you like the draw on a DG, this is very similar.

My glass from aliexpress just got here! Over all I am more than pleased with this purchase. Both pieces are pretty well made upon first inpection, and I feel I got really lucky with the showerhead, it's well centered and much lower than some of the others that went out (sorry y'all). The dewar is really deep on it though, I had to find my longest reducer to get a good solid connection for my 14mm gong. I also see what may be a crack in the downstem portion of the honeycomb, you can see it in the vid, it's close to the sand blasted part of the female joint, not sure yet if it's a crack or just a flaw from welding it to the can. I am not too worried, just won't be putting anything with much weight on it, and hopefully it will hold up a while. I wrote the company about it, and offered to send them photos of the crack, so maybe they will respond, but if not, I'm still pretty happy with it. Fits right in with my motley crew of a glass collection anyway, just about all my glass has some kind of character flaw. As long as it still works! Luckily the lotus JUST barely has enough clearance to fit on the honeycomb, so they make a nice pair, good distance from the face, and good line of sight from the top. I will likely use the showerhead for my HI as they also look nice, and work well together. I still need to fine tune water levels a bit. Hopefully this will satisfy my GAS for a little while at least... :brow:

Here's a quick vid after a quick rinse and just adding some water...

We're here to fuck shit up.
Nice! I definitely think you caught a peach with that Showerhead piece. It appears to be exceptional in the perc area compared to the other AliEx Bubs posted. I can't tell if that's an actual crack on the stem of the honeycomb. At one angle it appears to be a wave or bulge in the glass, at another it looks like a crack. Hopefully, it's just a wave.

Glad to hear you finally received your Bubs, Jam.

I am in need of some direction for my first ever glass piece i will also be combusting with it for a while until money comes for one of the vapes (extreme q/herbalaire) i have my eye on.

i have fallen in love with scientific bubblers more specific ones with honeycomb in it. there was a double honeycomb at a local shop but at almost $400 for it and keeps me very far away from it.


i am noticing there are some larger bodied bubblers in here but also some very small ones is there a good middle ground that would do well with how i am gonna use it.

this will be a weekend rig for me
my wife has set my limit at around $75 or she might kill me lol

I definitely couldn't say one way or another.
Perhaps imported sections that are assembled in USA. That can bring down the costs.

If I recall, I've only seen one FC member purchase a tube off there @Bob Loblaw
He said they took longer than expected to ship but that it certainly functions.

also @Tamataz .

build quality is low on mine, intake isn't 7mm, hell it's thinner than the joint. bubbles galore around the disks. that said, my subs been in it constantly since purchase and it's still doing fine. if i was in the market i might get this last one from a similar retailer

http://www.ioffer.com/i/13-single-fritted-disc-perc-w-cyclone-perc-water-pipe-556188488

last one left from a great find, @Frederick McGuire!
tempted as hell to take it myself!

otherwise, for the price, thickquality does decent enough work. don't expect speedy delivery, tho!

Yeah the intake is definitely less in thicknes , but the body is 7mm. Its pretty common for bongs to have skinny intakes. I have very few bubbles in my disks.
