Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[Ramahs]

I'm using this at the moment

Water filter for vaporizer - Ehle AKW System V2

The water filter humidifies the vapor and additionally cools it. This gives you a better feeling. Especially recommended when you need to cough :)

I really wanted a removable stem and mouthpiece for cleaning ease. Decided if I can't clean it easily then I'm less interested.

This one ticks that box. Bit of a chugger but I can fill and clear in one lungful.
The mouthpiece puts your face far away from the burn zone and you can see the chamber fill clearly. Have recently ordered a whip attachment.
I'm very pleased and currently my dhgate pieces are boxed for the time being....

Wow. By the look of the percs on those, I would have never expected them to be chuggers.
I would have thought the function to be on the smoother side of things.

That's interesting.

I've had one of these for some time. Though, it doesn't get much use these days.

Not that there is anything wrong with it, but I'm not a huge fan of hitting my piece while staring straight down at the table most of the time. Most of the time this is fine with a piece like this with a 45 degree downstem because I tilt the whole thing back and hit it like that. However, the way that the perc is designed in this piece only hits best when the whole piece is sitting straight-up.

It is a bit of a "chugger", and it's a great piece. But I don't use it very often for the above reasons. Not that there is anything wrong with it. Lots of people like using straight up pieces like that. It's a beautiful piece after all, and it looks beautiful while in action!

Thanks for the details. It does look COOL, different then most and drew me in......
I don’t own any straight tubes or rigs, for the same reasons. Watched a YouTube video, the designer talking about how he put the diffusion holes on the backside, so when you hold it on a tilt, there is still water, but I’m not sure I’d be hand holding it.

I only have the open downstem. Have some perc downstems on the way from China.

I did say 'bit of a chugger' and our definitions of 'chugging' may differ. Perhaps I should have said it is more of a chugger' than my other rigs, which all have percs.

"Chugger" rigs tend to have long simple one or two hole percs, so that they have a long slow chugging sound pattern when operating normally. A single hole downstem is still a perc, it's just one of the simplest of percs.

Ok, thanks. My confusion.
The downstem I have is open, hence chugging, and quite noisy, chug chug.... I am buying a multi slit downstem which I'm assuming will reduce the chugging effect.

Let us know how you like it. Depending on my mood, I sometimes prefer a "chuggy" piece.

 

[Chicken No Name]

Will do.
As with most of us, now that I'm happy with my vas (TM, m22 for portable, vrod and dcup for desk) I'm now searching for the 'one' piece of glass.

I'm hoping the ehle is it as I can't keep buying more pieces every time someone posts something nice on this thread.... Arghhhhh....

With the option to change the downstem and mouthpiece hopefully I can play with the options mood depending....

Hi guys, does anyone use a D020-D with a drop down? The ones I found on DHGate look they they won't clear the edge.

 

[LesPlenty]

These do not fit the D0202-d I own,

But this might if you are lucky and the planets line up just right,

I actually never used my Do20d with a dropdown but I just checked and a 14mm to 18mm Z adapter I have for my recycler fits my Do2od with a 18 to 14 mm adapter in the D020d as it is 18mm so that might be raising thje adapter for clearance.
One of these,

Looks neat but someone else may have a better solution, probably not a custom from Oregonglassblower as that would cost more than the bong...but it will be well made and outlast the bong if ever dropped.

 

[Therapy]

Thanks, those were the ones I found.
OGB is out of the question unfortunately as I live in Europe, we definitely need some quality, budget friendly glass over here asap.

EDIT: Do you by any chance have an idea how to add a whip to the D020D?
EDIT2: Looks like this one might work.

Are there any cheap budget China glass companies that can match to the standards you'd see from most US made glass brands? Or are most things still thin, unpolished, and poorly blown?

 

[mixchu69]

What ever happened to CCG? I always thought they were one of the better China glass blowers

I'm not 100% on this, but I'm to understand that CCG only wholesales now and Calibear is their main retailer. I've personally never purchased from either company:

Calibear-Glass Bongs, Dab Rigs, Hand Pipes, Quartz Bangers

Calibear offers an extensive best selection of smoking glass bongs, water pipes, hand pipes, dab rigs, quartz bangers, wax vaporizers, etc with free shipping. Calibear provides high quality dope stuffs and reliable after-sale services to ensure our clients the best buying experiences.

Dabbing Warehouse Glass Bubbler Portable Kit ($45)
View attachment 7791

Has anyone seen a good alternative to this?

It seems to tick a few boxes, except that I dislike logos and colour. Appearances aside, it's unfortunately not an option because Dabbing Warehouse also can't/won't ship to me.

 

[LesPlenty]

EDIT2: Looks like this one might work.

I tried that one as well, the ends were the wrong way around to fit(see pic)

 

[El Rawn Hubbard]

On my FC-UFO (and a similar ash catcher) I use a M2M adapter to add height.

Then I just use a F2M or F2F dropdown depending on what I'm attaching.

I'm with you on logos and scraped the color off with an exacto, per usual... now there's only a faintly visible "witness" logo

I can live with it for $15, mostly cuz it's really more of utilitarian workhorse and realistically has a pretty limited lifespan... Shame they won't ship to you, it actually does a pretty good job.

Don't think I'm going to do that to the Goo Roo.

 

[LesPlenty]

Don't think I'm going to do that to the Goo Roo.

A Simple Green soak may get that RooGoo paint off, but be careful as I have been told Simple Green can etch some glass (I have not had the problem myself)

That's a shame cause it looks like a good little rig. I like removable stems/mouthpiece for ease of cleaning..... Logos not so keen on but can live with if the function is good....

Even if Simple Green does strip it, I'm worried there would still be a frosted, baked-in mark left in place of the paint... It isn't too obnoxious as far as labeling goes... we'll see... thanks!

Just to be clear, it's the multi piece bubbler that I linked to in #28,021 (not the micro).

Ha, sorry! (I'll blame the live diamonds...) I suppose the cheapo bubbler kit will eventually get the same treatment when I get around to it... maybe try the Simple Green method first... But yeah, I guess it really doesnt matter much to you either way though, huh...? Again, sorry about that...
