Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[Shit Snacks]

The TAG 9 reverse shower cools even better than I had hoped. Dabs are incredibly smooth, even without the double perc attached. I think I like it just as much if not better without the percs.

I think this means I can leave cold wet handling of ice behind.

Anyone care to recommend a J-Hook for this so I can see it/use it as a sort of Sherlock?

I guess it needs something with a decent angle to compensate for the down facing orientation of the 14mm connector.

I still think that they belong here (and in the scientific glass thread) because it would seem to me that they are significantly lower priced than many of their competitors for that quality of glass (if it is as good as you say).

Of course a $40 glass piece is cheap...but a $600 glass piece can also be cheap if it could be worth $2000 on the market.

That reminds me of a subreddit called frugalmalefashion

New people go there all the time and ask how a $600 pair of pants is frugal. Well, it could be $600 and a good value. Money means different things to different people. I can only afford $50 glass. But I can see how $600 glass can be cheap to some, especially if it normally sells for 2k

Classy, clean, high quality; ordered. $21 after shipping.

Many thanks, Pam - - I mean @Shit Snacks - - I had a feeling you might chime in with your voluminous glass knowledge. Much appreciated.

My pleasure as always, I have never used them yet myself, but you may want to get a plastic or metal keck clip so the hook stays attached to the ashcatch

I just called Goo Roo. They still haven't shipped that fucking stem...

I see a rig at TAG that really has my name--Multi-perc lots of cooling filtering*--on it, the mid-sized double honey comb plus turbo rig. It would be the most expensive piece I've yet purchased so I've been looking at the second-quality option. But would be really disappointed if second-quality meant tilted percs or other functional problem. I'm fine with cosmetic issues, having many myself! Anyone with experience with TAG seconds that could encourage or discourage me? You folks just know so much about this stuff. Thanks.

*I'm also finding that along with multiple percs, shear mass seems to help my aged lungs and old smoker's throat. Last year I got a big DHgate Mobius knock-off matrix sidecar that only has that one perc, and it cools nearly as well as my double and triple perc rigs. Making me think that mass alone can have a major impact on cooling.

TAG's "second quality" discounted pieces have a good reputation around here. I've never heard any complaints about their seconds. I have one (the first TAG piece I ever bought a few years ago) that was sold as a second, and I can't find a noticeable defect. In fact, I think it's the same one you are looking at (16" double honeycomb to spinning splashguard).

This one:

Thanks for digging that out and the positive comments. Very close. They show three different sizes, bent or straight neck. Your's looks like the large 16" straight neck. I'm looking at the 12" bent neck. There also seems to be a 30% off sale on everything.

PS: An hour later. I pulled the trigger.

Hey guys, got a piece with the most hairline of hairline fractures in it. Not all the way through, probably not photographable, right at the joint to the body and the mouthpiece. About 50% of the way around. I cleaned it out with alcohol and it seems to smoke fine. No leaking from the joint when filled with liquid and turned upside down. Is it still safe until I can get it to a glass maker and have them throw it in a kiln? All I know is I should not stress the joint anymore.

Yeah I would just be extremely careful, if you do still need to use it! But I'm not sure about throwing it into a kiln as a way to save it...

To my knowledge, with small enough of a fracture, that should mend the glass together so long as a glassblower takes a look at it and OKs it.

I have tracking...

Curse you lot with your sexy images and constant stream of lovely glass.

So a good few pages back this was talked about:

ROOR VAPOR BODY - ROOR

Ersatz-Pfeifenkörper für den ROOR VAPOR. Mit integriertem Diffusor.

roor.de

Tickled my fancy did that but e300 and the fixed down stem forced me away.

Im really enjoying my

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 :)

verdampftnochmal.de

And as I have several mp's for this already then this seemed like the natural progression:

The power tower:

Ehle Power Tower Body

The body of our Power Tower water filter from Ehle as a replacement or in combination with mouthpiece of your choice. Additionally you can choose a diffusor.

verdampftnochmal.de

Photos are not as slick but I'm hopeful it will be (almost?) as good as the roor for a lot less money.

DHL are taking an eternity to deliver (a week from Germany to France!) so should have it Wednesday.

I will obv report back here on arrival. Quite excited!

Keep up the good work guys and gals!

You folks now have me deep into GAS. Oy. $$$$$ even "cheap". The good news is that after four years of buying glass, experimenting with different sizes, percs, styles, I'm finally figuring out what works best for me. I'm having noticeably less lung or throat irritation, which is a huge victory for an old dude. Soon I'll be like Mr/Ms Snacks, needing a whole new house just for my "cheap" glass collection.

That firewithinglass bubbler is freaking awesome. Anything like that available in Europe?

Yeah man, I'm actually surprised I think I like the bigger one better functionally, they are both awesome! You should hit him up, he is very quick to respond on Instagram, you can probably call or email too, see if he can hook you up with shipping to Europe, could be pretty pricey however, so maybe he can work with you since I believe his stuff is pretty unique! Showed him what I'm working with, so I think he's going to buy some top-tier vapes or one at least, he wants to make glass that is more designed to work best with them instead of smoking now...

Can't wait to see what develops...

 

[madhockeydad]

No matter what we call the syndrome, it’s dangerous. There is aLways new designs, new makers, and it’s so damn fun. I can’t come to this thread everyday otherwise I’d buy more glass.

Ya'll ready for this

The bowl part is very loose in my arizer from being stretched by my turbo stem.

I'm thinking maybe an o-ring or similar might fix this.

I found 2 of those 45 degree quartz cup things I see on some of your lab equipment rigs but I don't think I have use for those? I still might grab them Monday if they're still there.

I love the final part of this - totally reflects acquisition syndrome - don't know what it is, don't know if I need it but I'm going to get it. VapeEscapist - I loved that post. Forgive me for laughing.

 

[coolbreeze]

Took a detour into these when they came up here recently and I got one off ebay with a hammerhead perc in it, just cuz I wanted to check out its action. I primarily use it with a j-hook and an on-glass vape and it works like a charm. I say go for it!

Unfortunately TRWW J-Hook is too heavy to allow the bubbler to stand.

Looks sweet with a metal kek though and still works well.

Edit:

Apparently I got that hook for this guy I got today. It stands ok half full with a Waterwand in it.

https://imgur.com/a/WjYO395

I'll get a new smaller one for the double perc. Half size should be good.

Then there's this shenanigans. I call it, the Kenny G.

Hah! Me too--I lean mine on a little wooden 18mm vape stand. Works well enough.
