Hey all! BigDaddyVape, thanks for the response. I was all set to get that same bubbler, but the site requires your billing address to be the same as your shipping—fixable by sending in a photo I.D. to them, which I don't really want to deal with (I go to college in a different state than my card is registered to).
I ended up getting this guy: http://www.grasscity.com/us_en/black-leaf-sunny-afternoon-inline-perc-scientific-glass-bubbler.html
which I think belongs in this thread! It's $88 but I was able to find a 20% off coupon with a quick google search—shipping was obscene, of course (E.U. glass), but it came out to be the same as the normal price w/ free shipping after the coupon. Neatly fits under the $100 mark.
Black Leaf isn't the best, but is at the upper end of china glass, from what I've heard. Seems like good glass for less than the price of most others—it's even inline like the headford bubbler, which I've heard is great for water diffused vaping.
Also got the 14mm whip adaptor off of ALT, and the tubing BigDaddyVape linked. From the earlier discussion, it seems like they'll fit together. It was this or get the MFLB water pipe adaptor, but one thing I don't like about the MFLB adaptor is that to use it the box must be at a certain angle, and stationary—and that angle won't be horizontal with the bubbler I ordered. I like the idea of the whip because I can keep the box completely horizontal, and even shake it around while heating (which I sometimes do to keep temps relatively low and even while building good vapor).
Haha sorry for the essay—really excited!! I've spent way too much money on vapor equipment recently, but if it lets me toke with no to minimal irritation so that I an be at 100% for my sports, that's all that matters.

Ah sorry—I haven't received it yet, just finally placed the order. I'm a little worried because it's not guaranteed to be well-made, but I think the gamble's worth it considering it's so cheap for an inline.
Was tempted by a few other things as well. Speaking of which, I tried to order the bubbler BigDaddyVape got from gogopies.com, and was blocked because of differing shipping/billing addresses. BUT, I found out this morning that they charged my debit card anyway! Bad business practice—they seem willing to make up for mistakes, though, so I'll keep you all posted on the resolution. Just be careful, all.
Longbones, I'm the (partially shameful) owner of a Blackleaf Nautlius which I bought when they were like 55 bucks. I have to say that for cheap import glass, the workmanship is excellent. The inline is well cut, flame polished and set straight. All the welds are well done and there isn't one real imperfection on the piece. It actually has a goddamn closed end on its diffuser so it fires properly, unlike alot of cheap Chinese inlines I see in headshops, which boggles my mind. The bowl was also a great addition to the arsenal, although I thought it useless at the time; it ended up working great with a number of vaporizers like the Vriptech and VM2.
So for me at least, Blackleaf seems to be reasonable quality, a cut above other cheap imports.
Lordy, look at this kooky mini Nautilus with 3 arm in place of an in-line?? Only 70$
You called?A removeable arm inline downstem ? wat
The mini is just ABSURD though
A removeable arm inline downstem ? wat
The two $40 and $120 are the same... just the difference in glass. Mine isn't 5mm glass.
Pics when you get it. I really want to see that diffuser.
I got mine here: http://www.420armory.com/index.php?...roduct_id=96&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=287On grasscity.com, all three nautilus pieces are listed as having 5 mm glass. Are they really that thick? The only other thing stopping me from buying is the 18 mm joint. Any place to get an 18-14 reducer besides ALT?
Here's that pic:
Yeah they look exactly the same, and it sounds identical to your video.
