That is piss poor service, especially as you went to the trouble of a video of the poor piece, open a dispute for sure. It seems that the QC is getting even worse with Popularglass.

Has anyone got this sidecar knockoff from Yingmin5? I just ordered one for $27.33 with free shipping. I want a center down stem water piece; I have a Terp Torch coming from EntExchange and feel like it’ll balance better than my other pieces. And I’ve wanted a matrix sidecar style piece for a while. How’s it compare to the other DHGate clones? I’ll update when it arrives. Thanks.

Edit: Link fixed and photo included.

My piece arrived yesterday, but it’s the wrong piece. I contacted Yingmin5 with the photos to see what they say. I don’t really like the mouthpiece; it’s really thin and flimsy. It also made a weird seal that sent a puff of air into the bowl a couple times, ejecting some flower, when I was done clearing it. I do like the amount of water, size, and function of the perc though.

Whats some of your guys favorite mouthpiece designs? I want biao to make me a mouthpiece/neck with a 18mm joint for my rbr which has the mouthpiece cut off right above the funnel and replaced with a 18mm female joint. I Also want to get a hydratube.

I'm looking for something like this to make use of the hydratubes I have acquired over time. Thinking of an upcoming Flowerpot VROD setup and with the recent bad orders from PopularGlass I would rather try someone new. It doesn't seem to be a very popular design, I haven't found it anywhere else so far.

Does anyone know of any other alternatives within reason that would be better for a flowerpot setup?

They make this in a larger size also.
Not cheap but not over the top expensive either.
The quality of the half dozen other pieces they make I have is excellent.

At that price, I'd spend $50-80 more and get the Sheldon Black... one of the best percs/pieces I have.

The Sheldon Black you mean is the one that looks like the D022, right? That is the other piece I have wanted and never bought, but $80 more is out of my price range. Yeah, yeah, I know, but I am buying function over artistry and I can live with a few flaws as long as it works. When a knock off doesn't work well it doesn't matter how cheap it is.
I have been using my D022 as my daily lately...

Wow that SB Basic Bubbler looks very comfortable to handle! I have a few Sheldon Black adapters and downstems and they are the most solid pieces in my inventory, an army of cheap downstems have been broken right next to the SB :)

don't think I would describe it as a D022....
yeah, that one. I just meant the tall and thin profile, no offense. ;)

If it were knocked off effectively I would buy it in a second. I particularly like the MP on a joint. I have several I could use with it in case I didn't want it that tall...

I got this design years ago and got refunded totally. The piece came with the diffuser that was longer than it should have been, it touched the bottom of the ash catcher flask. The other half of the piece was useable. Unfortunately all my purchase history got cancelled; apparently only recent orders appear and I’m unable to verify if it is the same seller.
I think it’s pretty hard to have dhgate CS to understand buyers reasons, especially with vape related stuff, but seller’s communication was so poor that even if half of the bong was useable, and CS initially suggested a partial refund, I got full refund in the end.

You nailed it, this is just downright comfy! has been a personal favorite in my house for many years.

No offense taken, just was not sure if we were referencing the same piece. :rockon:

FWIW, I only use it in this stock tallboy configuration RARELY.

99% of the time, I am paired with Sheldon Black's "L" shaped mouthpiece. The bend is just above the joint, provides great viewing of the chamber as bubbles stack and smoke develops, and it lowers the height enough to fit on nearly any shelf.

They are on Dhgate but with a different downstem that I broke and replaced with,
https://www.dhgate.com/product/d022-attachment-glass-down-stem-18-8mm-out/386188024.html I also use it with shorter downstems from my other 29mm modular bong,
Yeah, that Six Shooter stem never did anything for me. I don't really like hard to clean or fragile stuff. And if I have to buy an additional D022 stem (or other) and pay shipping (now) it is getting above its value to me. I thought hard about it last time you pointed me to it. :wave:

I would say to check out the jayhook thread here, it has some other mouthpieces, particularly I would recommend something from Oregon glass blower like this:
Just tell him you want it 18 mm

Also the Phineas vigreux cooling stem from vgoodiez is on sale now, really great option though you may want to get an angled adapter for it since it is straight...

Then I think some sort of sipper hubble bubble hydro tube would be nice too!

I don't know, this RBR thing sounds pretty sweet, to be able to get it with a male or female joint on the top, maybe not super cheap but reasonable?? Uses a lot of water?

I have the old FC mod, devastator knock off, that you posted here, bought from Steven way back when, I only got the main piece with circ perc and mouthpiece (which I don't use because it's so big and thin) to use with my evolver hydratree and hydracirc tubes, it is... fine lol Probably posted in here then?

Honestly I think I would prefer one of the hydrobase designs instead, still was thinking I would get one someday, and sell the FC mod base, but maybe I will get this RBR thing... Not ready to go there yet though.

However I actually came here to post about the smaller recyclers, I saw this one on Reddit from biao t (on the left) but I also found this one when I was looking up other purple rigs (on the right) that is a little cheaper though the designs are similar, curious how their performance differs??

Not exactly sure which mouthpiece I prefer, I was thinking the one on the right could be good but it sure looks like a dick doesn't it?! The hourglass shape of the one on the left is a bit more refined... Both under 7 inches.

Well it's too late to edit, but I decided on the left, local so shipping was super fast and it arrived today!
Does that mean you found a locally based warehouse to purchase from, or is it made locally? I've been looking at larger bubblers and recyclers of late, as my options don't really have the cooling necessary for larger dabs and a DiTanium I use on the daily.

Yeah I was on ent exchange, user milesxdeep on reddit, I believe he buys wholesale orders from China and just sells them there? That's what I meant when I was saying I recommend them, because I also didn't feel like buying through dhgate or anything... Yeah this thing is great, I prefer small dabs anyway, but the cooling is so effective It works with larger size too!

Has anyone tried the wedge shaped bubblers fron Grav Labs? They are attractive looking, I just wonder how well they perform for vaping. They have a 25% off 420 sale going on with free shipping, and they are pretty reasonable. I think I like the look of the Rain Bubbler the most...

i just found this bubbler, specifically made for Vapes. Exclusive at verdampftnochmal.com, not excactly cheap but absolutely affordable and quality german made glass :science:
I like it a lot...

I am quoting an old post, but I received this bubbler on Monday, ordered to be used with TinyMight. Basically I chose it as it was the smaller high quality available with 18 upper grind. I am impressed with the quality and usability, it takes the TinyMight to the next level. Included was a diffuser that I used couple of times. Compared to my previous cheap bong it cuts the extraction time almost in half and the vaped weed is very dark. It is not cheap but its my first high quality glass and looks so nice with the long mouthpiece.

I put my eyes on it as soon as it came out but:
What does the "clutch" dropdown menu mean?
If I choose "open" instead of "diffuser" they send it to me without the actual diffuser, at the same price? This puts me off big time.
Using it with no diffuser means (imho) that vapor will take the shortest path, going straight to the mouthpiece. That way it's like having a 130€ j-hook. I already have an Herborizer Sherlock doing that for half the price. If this is the case it would also be harder to clean that it should, with resin building up around the necks and not inside the diffuser.
I already have an Herbo bubbler which serves the same purpose but if I had to choose having a removable diffuser would be better for cleaning.
IIRC the page doesn't even specify if it's 18 or 14mm (edit: it does :D). I'd prefer 18mm but it seems 18 without the diffuser and 14mm with it, otherwise the concept is neat nad simple and I like it.

TBH I wasn't expecting a diffuser as I ordered Ehle AKW 2 Body & a mouthpiece. The Ehle AKW System V2 on the other hand lets you choose open or diffuser under "Clutch" but the Ehle AKW 2 Body doesn't have any option to choose from. I received an Ehle Grind-in-grind diffusor NS 14, which I didn't know that was included in the Body version that I bought and is listed separately @ 29 euro
