Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[Quetzalcoatl]

This looks just like my black leaf http://www.planetvape.ca/black-leaf-smoke-shower-micro-circ.html I got from planetvape to use with solo. The site says it's made by toro glass? Who ever made mine did a fine job! It rips!

The Micro Circ (the perc) was first made by Toro, IIRC. I'm not sure if the site means to say they buy the finished percs from Toro directly, or if the design/concept is a Toro original. It wouldn't be that hard for a glassblower to do, but I'm confused as to why the mention is made... Anyways, if it functions well, who cares?

To anyone who has ordered from Pipes Daddy, can you please help me out with the following questions:
1) How discrete is their packaging and credit card statement?
2) Did you have to be present to sign for the package? I'm at work when USPS, UPS, etc delivers.
Thanks!

 

[al bundy]

^^^^^ I had to sign when I ordered the infamous
Came USPS.
Didn't get c/c statement yet,You could call them and ask I guess .
Plain box no markings .

 

[SSVUN~YAH]

It's discreet and incredible deals, packing is great and quick delivery!

 

[Shmoo]

Thanks guys. I contacted support at the same time as I posted it, but I wanted to hear from you guys as well. Support told me that the shipping and c/c statement are discrete, and that I can request to not have to sign for the package when it comes. Awesome! Now let's see how quick the delivery is!
EDIT: I ordered this bubbler to use with my Pinnacle, by the way.

 

[tiukauleh]

schmoo, that's a nice bubbler and a gorgeous price. i got a similar showerhead last year from another company, cost me $150.

Hey Shmoo, you know I ordered an equal piece.... It should take quite long (as usual) to arrive here, so if you get your hands on yours, will you please write some kind of simple review? I was to order the infamous, but as far as its connections are 18mm and not 14mm I decided to go for this one. It looks like a nice piece, at least from the advertised photos

Cheers!

Sure! I'll take some pictures and write a review once I get it and use it for a bit. I'm no glass expert, but I'll try my best. It definitely seems like a nice piece, and for $33.33 after shipping, it's a steal!

The bubbler: http://www.pipesdaddy.com/14mm-Snakster-Glass-Bubbler-Clear-p/bb-0101-0005.htm

Alright, so first off I just want to say I really had a good experience with Pipes Daddy. Their customer service was quick to respond and they shipped the next day (I ordered it late afternoon). The packaging and credit card statement are discrete, and the bubbler was packed well. It was wrapped in a ton of bubble wrap and placed in packing peanuts, so there's no way it was going to break.

So, onto the bubbler itself. I really like it! for $30, it's a steal. Everything looks fairly straight inside, which I was surprised by. The glass doesn't feel too thin either, which again impressed me. Also, the glass doesn't have a yellow tint to it like the picture on Pipes Daddy's site. That's just some shoddy photography.

It also says "TRUE GLASS" on the side, which is alright I guess. I would prefer it without it, but it doesn't bother me too much.
I tried it with my pinnacle and it was really nice. Chugs quite well and cools down the vapor really well, especially for its size.
This is $10 cheaper than the infamous, yet I almost think it may be better. Highly recommended!

Oh, the Snakster. Just been looking at it myself. Weird thing is I could've sworn it was $24.99 just a few days ago. I know another pipe I was watching quietly went up $5 a couple weeks back, so it might not just be me misremembering.

The Snakster lacks the more standard 18mm input on the infamous, and the mouthpiece isn't removable, so the versatility is missing, too. Can volume is very similar, possibly the Snakster's win. The six-slot circ on the infamous actually works pretty damn well for vapour, though. Tames it just enough while keeping a lot of taste, and has very low drag. If you're only buying one bubbler, I'd take the infamous for $10 more every time. Plus the Snakster has that ugly text logo on it (which Pipesdaddy's photos do a good job of hiding).

I'm considering grabbing a Lotus soon, though, and I think the Snakster would pair great with it to make a portable vaping kit. Doesn't hurt that's it's the only non-awful 14mm-input option Pipesdaddy has, too. I could just use another infamous and a 14-to-18 lo-pro reducer, but that'd be $20 difference, or 40% more than the Snakster. Hard to justify in a kit you are taking with you, and may be lost, stolen, or have to be discarded. Would pack into a hard case easier, though.

P.S. Shmoo, send your photos of the Snakster to Pipesdaddy and tell them use them instead of their shitty photos.

Just bought the Snakster! I really like the size (and price), can't wait to give it a shot!

I wanted something inexpensive with a 14mm connection for my GonG stems and Underdog

I also have my eyes on the Vapor Brothers Mini Hydrator, and might grab that on payday too!

I wanted a 14 mm connection for my Pinnacle, and I didn't plan on adding anything onto the piece, so versatility isn't an issue for me. I could see the infamous being better for some, but hey everyone has their preferences. The 15-slot circ on the snakster is really good, and I don't feel like there is a lot of drag either. Again there might be less with the infamous, but it still isn't an issue for me. And yeah the text is ugly as hell, and I tried removing it with Goo-Gone and a knife but had little success. Apparently I would need a very sharp razor blade to scrape it off, but I don't have time for that lol. The text is luckily where you see it the least, so it doesn't bother me much.

Haha maybe I will!

I'm sure you'll love it! If you could, post a milk shot video/picture. I would do a video but the Pinnacle doesn't exactly "milk" glass quite as well as a home vape does.

I did, however, take one "semi-milked shot" during my last session.

 

[Yoshimattsu]

I will gladly take milking pics/vid!

 

[ou812?]

My girl friend bought this little oil rig w/ an adapter double F/M which she uses w/her solo and the piece was built well and for 49 bucks and the free shipping (BTW thanks to all who turned us on to pipes daddy,item came as fast as light speed 3days from WA to south FL packaged well,good peeps @ pipesdaddy) The unit works great w/ the solo and milked up thick and the pull on it was easy,not a fancy rig, but suffice for her and I admit,I like it also!! I think she did well,she and her friends dab. (Im liking that style of getting medicated,new to me other than old school hash oil on joints) The piece was China boris. and 5mm on most of its build. We are becoming glass junkies, Is that GAS in other terms?? What a blast, Itching for another piece here soon. Most likely buying another piece from Jhan. He has some very nice side car bubbs, Im looking at this one. I say it could be worse, but coming down with GAS is so much sweeter than coming down with the FLU! with GAS it goes away when you buy another piece....but the fun thing is comes around again and again with no ill effects other than a little less $$ for flowers and a big smile while holding in the hit...........

I recognize that TRUE Glass logo. I had a little beaker bong with a perc like that a few years back. It was nice and cheap. I think I might grab one of these to accompany my Solo

What should I buy to plug a whip into this?

 

[Richy]

Colie Glass do whip to GonG adapters for $20 including postage. I'm not sure if the FC discount applies to such a small item but the price seems pretty low already. I suppose it won't hurt to ask. If it does then it would only be $16(20% FC discount) if you pay direct or $18(10% FC discount) if you pay through paypal. I'd double check that the inner diameter of the tubing you use matches the GonG adapter though before ordering.

I might also be worth browsing through the water pipes on there to see if there is anything that takes your fancy as they often give deals if you buy items together, remember to take the FC discount I mentioned above off the prices when looking at them. All of the stuff there is made with Schott or Simax glass so it's very good quality glass and it's made in the USA so you'll be supporting a local blower rather than a Chinese company who will be paying a sweatshop blower a pittance.

 

[treeman]

I've always thought whip adapters are waaay too expensive for what they are. I noticed pipes daddy stocks them in 18.8mm for just 6 dollars which is hands down the best price I've seen for them:

[Richy]

I wish I was out in the states sometimes so I could get all the cheap stuff. For me the postage kills all the deals.

 

[SSVUN~YAH]

Postage from pipesdaddy is hefty too IME. But Vapornation has the ssv wpa with free shipping. Theothersidevaporizer on eBay has them even cheaper. I like our family here and support them, however 20 bucks is criminal for a hose adapter! FYI, you can make your own using a firm tubing and overlapping with a softer tubing, or cork or plastics a variety of ways. Marisopas on eBay sells adapters for 9-10 bucks with free s/h typically. Just my two cents, don't go broke on adapters...

 

[Anonymouse]

My girl friend bought this little oil rig w/ an adapter double F/M which she uses w/her solo and the piece was built well and for 49 bucks and the free shipping (BTW thanks to all who turned us on to pipes daddy,item came as fast as light speed 3days from WA to south FL packaged well,good peeps @ pipesdaddy) The unit works great w/ the solo and milked up thick and the pull on it was easy,not a fancy rig, but suffice for her and I admit,I like it also!!

Horses for courses I guess, but I bought one of those a few months back and I hated it.

I think this would have been a much better buy, especially for portable use, but it wasn't available yet when I ordered my $50 oil rig. It has a six slot showerhead instead of open downstem, is more compact/palmable, also comes with dome and nail, and yet is only $20 instead of $50. There's places that'd charge $20 just for a dome and nail, so it's pretty-much a free bubbler.

I'm not sure how trustworthy I consider PipesDaddy anymore, though. It looks like they're still selling those fake titanium nails (talked about here and on FC here), for example. I informed them that these are stainless fakes from China like a month back, when they were a new product and the "Deal of the Day" special, but the only response I ever got was that they'd "look into it", and they finished out the sale and left 'em up, even now.

 

[Richy]

I just noticed that Colie glass have now put this bubbler on sale that I posted about a few weeks back in the Colie thread. At 14 inches tall it's a fair bit larger than the usual PipesDaddy bubblers that are normally discussed on this thread so if you want more volume then one of these may be a good choice.

They are USA made with Schott glass and have a wall thickness of 5mm so you'll be hard pressed to find a better deal for quality glass. They come with both male and female joints and are now at $80 with the 20% FC discount if you pay direct or $90 if you pay through PayPal, just use the contact seller button on the right hand side of the page to get the discount because I don't think they use codes.

If you ask me it's an insane deal, I wish I had some spare cash lying around to pick one up because I can imagine they'll sell pretty fast at that price.

I saw why you hated it and it was my concern as well and wondered why you didnt send it back,they also sent the rig free ship'n.. I told the other 1/2 if its defective send it back but fortunately its closed and bubbs up really nice and smooth,I would agree that it may not be a real clean piece, inline is a freelance design ,no doubt, but mine works well ,cheaper quality boris. but for us, it sits on a table she uses w/Solo,for which it works very well, its pretty thick and we are clumsy. 10 thumbs and butter fingers as we are coined, so it suits its purpose ,but we have some of artist here on FC, Jhan Pixels pieces which are really nice ,love em, thick and big built very well . The smallest little piece that I really like is the little PN WT I ride and throw it in the saddle bag and even though that thing is small,to me it delivers a great smooth rip (vape gets my throat now but not w/h2o tool)and is a breeze to carry.BTW friend bought 11" inline /honeycomb tube for 64 bucks from PD and built very thick, it hits very smooth and stacks like mad, yeah its cheapie but it was made decent the inline was straight/reinforced,honeycomb seem to be placed correctly in height from the inline and was level and the stemless was bridged to the can, it produced little bubbles galore when drawn ,I wont ever say that it would be a big name quality but for what it was made with and its craftsmanship it was decent and for the bucks he was happy and the Solo served up a few milk shake hits in it and all was good No complaints from PD yet but i dont think you should have passed on hav'n em send you a new one,from what I read they are good w/replacing defective shit, knowing its import I think they expect it and make the amends to hold sales and also to be good biz merchants.

 

[Yoshimattsu]

So I've recently purchased both the Snakster from PipesDaddy ($29) and the Mini Hydrator from VaporWarehouse ($89) and I wanted to post my thoughts and a pic to compare.

I really like the quality of the Hydrator, there are no imperfections in the glass, it stands up straight, has a perfectly designed perc for vapor, and one of my favorite mouthpieces to date!

Most of those things are also the negative points for the Snakster, the glass is riddled with imperfection, it stands crooked, and I'm not a huge fan of how it "chugs", but it works.

Lets also keep in mind that I could purchase 2 1/2 Snaksters for the price of one Hydrator, so, for the price, the Snakster really is unbeatable. But if you have the extra money I will recommend the Mini Hydrator every time! It's my new daily driver, paired with my Mulberry twig Underdog!

Thanks for the link. Grabbed one of these just now. That's a great price and I've been looking for something a bit bigger than my Ion. Cheers!
