Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[mrbonsai420]

MMMM, First hit off of the Mega Mai Tai Klein. So fucking smooth. And so pretty!

@mrbonsai,

can you explain a bit this about OGB? what is that, a glass blower in the states maybe?
I'm in EU so buying from US is problematic because of shipping fees and also there is a potential problem with customs.

I can't believe that there are all kind of shapes and dimensions of glass pieces from eBay and DHGate, but this particular is nowhere to be found :-(.

I have another option that I'll try:
http://www.dhgate.com/product/whole...rop-down-adapter/388282422.html#mfavit-2-null
,but I was hopping for those 90 degree elbow connections so I can use original bridge adapter.

Yes, That will work for you as well, I almost linked you that. The heights may be a little off but if you put the cap or reclaim catcher on the other (top) side that will do the trick. And yes, OGB is a US glass blower that will make any adapter you can think of. Just tell him what you want and he can make it if he doesn't already have it.

I need a piece like that...it calls to me.

Whats the thickest chinese glass you guys know of? I'm looking to buy a smallish beaker/tube or a sidecar bubbler or something. Glass has to be as thick as chinese glass gets. Budget is ideally under $50. To be used with arizer solo/air.

Also, is there any point getting a recycler for the arizer vapes? Does the recycling actually happen or is the draw restriction too much?

Any recommandations for cheap illuminati rigs, espescially from China?
Dont like the simple coloured ones so much but I'm interested in payable illuminati stuff.

@abby don't have a lot of glass but I asked a similar question when I got my first piece and I have been very happy with it. I got the D020-D from SUnshine Store on Dhgate. I use it with a Haze and it's perfect. No pronlems with the thickness and size is perfect. I use flower.

I just saw these: http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/newest-oil-rigs-glass-bongs-thick-glass-smoking/388481617.html

They look odd. Not for me, but figured someone here might like them.

Click and see for yourself. Early cellphone pipe. lol.

I'm old enough to remember when cellphones ACTUALLY looked like that!

Ooh my goodness that's hilarious. That's what they used to look like, too. Who would want this lol

I have to agree, it works. Almost too good.

Still a fav and in the regular rotation here, too. Tough to do better IMO.

These are the hemping Kleins right? It was mentioned he made some for tag.

I would guess they're not, there are small differences between his kleins and those TAG ones (can restriction style, mouthpiece, perc slits). Though it's possible, we don't actually know if Zhang is blowing for TAG or not, it is fair to assume there's a similarly sized US vendor he's supplying, but who knows which one.

There are some differences although I also see similarities, I don't know if those were made by an artist in his glass shop or not? I don't know exactly who all he deals with in the states. I just knew something made him pull those Kleins off of DH gate very fast so I asked him about it. He said it was a conflict of interest and his largest US re-seller, they felt he was undercutting their sales with a similar design for much less. I asked if the company in question was "Tag" and he said yes but it could have been lost in translation because he also buys Tag glass rods! lol (Trautman art glass). Who knows? I can post you plenty of pics of the Hemping though! They are all bad ass rigs and pretty much my favorites right now as you can see lol.

Hey FCers. I'm back.

Wish I could jump on the Joda fanboy train now that I've received the gong. The coloring on the gong looks nice and overall it seems nicely made, but unfortunately the thing has a pretty undeniable flaw in its function.

The stem designed to hold the enano has a ring around the lip that isn't present on standard enano screens. The ring causes the vape to not seat properly. Here you can see a comparison of standard stems vs. Joda's. Joda's looks more like a mouthpiece than a gong to me.

If I leave the piece on a table and hold the power cord in my lap to offset the weight of it I can get the enano to balance upright on the gong. However, if I try to move the piece at all or pass it to a friend the vape ends up getting off balance and smacking people in the bridge of the nose when they go to hit the piece.

This is what happens any time I move or pass the piece:

Not only does this make the thing a pain to hit and a pain to pass, but I also worry about it slowly loosening and potentially breaking the center tube in the enano. Since it causes the enano to wobble around a lot each time it is passed, I worry that it is causing unnecessary stress where the inner tube meets the outer tube in the vape. Luckily the enano is pretty sturdy, but I'm still concerned.

The entire reason I wanted a carbed gong was to simplify the process of passing the enano in a circle of people who aren't familiar with clearing it. Unfortunately the wobbliness of the gong just makes it more confusing for people, so we're back to warning our guests how not to burn themselves while pulling the standard gongs.

Hopefully this is just a bad gong and not all of Joda's gongs will behave this way.
Either way, I can't recommend him for this type of custom work.

If you still want to place a custom order with him I say go for it, just be patient and hopefully you'll be luckier than me.

Beautiful collection there Mr. Bonsai! I think I might have the one mega mai tai recycler that you didn't snatch up. I managed to pull the trigger on it right before he switched the minimum order quantity to 5 pieces. It's really too bad that he isn't able to sell more designs through DHG. I've been asking him about his TAG pieces and some other designs for quite some time now.

Back on track!
CHEAP GLASS can relax you!
GonG's are lame and break!
This GonG is broke however still I make it work!
I broke all my JODA GonG's so I just get stock ones!
One GonG a week? (stupid I know it's only me?)
I have the best work from www.oregonglassblower.com (misspelled most likely?)
They make some carbed pieces.

I love a good gong, it just has to fit right. I'll just be sticking with the originals.
I'm probably going to get a small carbed 14mm to 14mm from OGB.
He's got reasonable prices and was very helpful when I needed a replacement mouthpiece.

Just out of curiosity ataxian, did your Joda gongs have that same lip on them that made the piece wobble or was that just mine?

Just move on! (Q.A.) QUALITY ASSURANCE is needed!
Just keep it functional.

I like cheap low income glass because I break it so much!

Just pass the water pipe with the gong in it, then pass the nano and they can place it on themselves. It's really not hard.
I have a nano stem from him and it's a little crooked too, but it hasn't stopped from using it with my log vapes. I just don't balance the log on top of any of my gongs, especially since it could easily fall over. Just my two cents.

I have tested many vaporizers and played with glass.
The FLAVOR achieved is very = CIVILIZED

 

[abby]

Is any of the glass on dhgate actually 7mm thick throughout most of the body? (Especially on some of the smaller pieces)

 

[FlyingLow]

i just got my conversion rig... quality is more than acceptable but there is definitely room for improvement, just slightly crooked, a few marks from what might have been a lathe, and a few bubbles.

BUT seller did not honor the buy one get one free and only sent one piece. i sent the seller a polite note hoping to resolve without filling a dispute. we will see how it plays out.

Do you mind posting a pic?

I'm going to backtrack the thread and see if I can find it!

Instagram is a great place to buy glass. I just paid 110 for this little american made banger hanger I fell in love with because of the colors! The purple raindrop and green marble really do it for me. I'll share more info once I actually get it and test it.

Well, I got it. It's definitely flawed. But it's functional and it is nice looking.

Here's a milky vapor shot. And embarrassing clutter hahaha Man, that looks straight up like smoke! It was smooth as hell though.
