Are you talking about the "infamous $40 vapor bubbler" on pipesdaddy?
In which case...It's not really $40.
It's $40 + ~$10 shipped to USA.
However, the perc design works great on the V2.

So, then what are we talking about here?
Not sure what you mean, but if you want to keep this back and forth going feel free to pm me. Let's go ahead keep this thread about cheap quality glass and not Big Macs or random vague questions.
Speaking of cheap quality glass the alt sale is starting in less than a week that should make for some cheaper if not cheap quality glass.

I will say the pipesdaddy "infamous $40" bubbler is a nice little piece for the price. It is pretty small but the two I have both look about the same, one is a little nicer made than the other, but otherwise identical. I find it to be an excellent "pocket" piece for travel. If you are looking to support a large vaporizer, this may not be the best option. It works well with solo and similar sized vapes (logs are a good fit) I wouldn't put anything with much weight/size on it. The slits are at an angle and mine gives me a nice evenly diffused stack. I will give it a thumbs up if you are searching for small glass.

Sounds like a great lil piece for the money. At 50$ shipped seems hard to beat.

I have 6 pieces from him and love each one ! I couldn't say it enough (there are some of them visible on my youtube) It's just one blower so it may not be the fastest plan but his pieces are very great for the price and exceeds in functionality. It's made in Portland Mane if you like to know.

OK, I've picked up my shipment from Max Quality Glass (http://www.ioffer.com/selling/maxqualityglass)
I got;
- Honeycomb to Honeycomb to Turbine tube
- Fritter to Fritter DI Bubbler
- Honeycomb to Fritter Bubbler
I've been wanting a few things in a piece recently that this tube brings to the table,
Honeycomb perc [check]
Turbine [check]
Large volume [check]
This thing is a beast, it's stupid heavy/thick (good stupid
It hits amazingly, the heft stops the feeling of the bubbles bouncing around, so the draw feels really, really smooth (so long as you avoid the natural perc effect in the stemless)
[EDIT: the draw is that smooth, I've actually half thought I forgot to put water in it while I'm hitting it, then when I clear it the turbine kicks in and I can let that thought go. I can only put that down to the thing being so solid
Close-ups of the tube:
I asked if it was possible to get the Double fritter with a female joint, but because I was haggling on price I made it clear that I'd rather get it DI if that would allow them to make it cheaper for me.
They didn't mention it in the rest of our dealings, so I figured I'd just let it be a surprise.
Then I open the package and they included a female to female adapter, which I found to be a very nice touch. It also came with a glass nail and dome.
I was a bit worried that the frit would be too fine and add lots of drag, especially with 2 of them, but from some water tests and 1 run with my Solo it performs great
God I love fritters
I have a buddy who's thinking about nabbing a bub soon, so I grabbed this one so he can choose between this or the double fritter if he wants to skip the hassle of importing, essentially the exact same form factor as the double fritter, but with a honeycomb for the bottom disc, and female inlet instead of DI.
The water test felt very similar to the double fritter, with the honeycomb adding a bit more violence to the diffusion compared to the frit (while the frit diffuses more, its a smoother formation of bubbles)
The build quality on them is nice.
A few minor bits here and there, but for the price I paid, I'm an extremely happy camper.
Everything feels super thick and solid, the heft behind them is impressive.
There are a few minor bubbles in some of the joins, but given these were all in the $100 price range, it's totally acceptable IMO.
If they were proper high quality $300 pieces I'd be a bit unhappy [EDIT: not even unhappy really, just slightly less satisfied] (purely with minor things, Functionally they are 100% Great)
The stem on the DI bub leans a bit toward the can, but doesn't seem to stop it from being able to mate with any vapes, and didn't stick the solo in my face, so it's all good.
This is pretty much how I feel:
Question: What is a DI? Seemed you were speaking about the 'stem'?
How would I describe the one piece, it is a honeycomb perc with a frit? What exactly is a frit? I saw you talking with someone from another thread about 'glass residue' or something, what is that exactly? Sounds scary.

(I had to do it Sorry)So I have to say for $29.99 I am very impressed with this piece.
No bubbles anywhere in the glass. Perk is straight as an arrow. All the slits on the donuts are perfectly cut. Joints pretty well put together, just a little off but not noticeable unless really looking at it. Base is solid and it fits perfectly in my hand (just feels right
). Drag can be controlled by the amount of water over the top donut slits. Fits my T-Vape, Pinnacle and MFLB WPA without adapters.Now, all that being said I think this thing would be a perfect vapor water tool for me if they eliminated the top 2 donuts so I sent an email to the seller to see if they would think about changing the design (doubt it but we'll see). As is though, it is definitely my new go to piece.
Now off to In and Out!

DI is direct inject, meaning it's got a male joint at the end instead of female. A frit is the same as a fritter, which is just crushed glass melted together so that there are gaps where the air can go through. That's how it tumbles the water. Glass residue I'm not 100% on but I'm fairly certain if you don't make a frit properly bits of glass can break/flake off.

ahh, OK. Would you mind telling me why someone would care if it is DI or...FI (Female inject?)?
Is it just preference, or does the draw get affected...wait, I can imagine that perhaps with a Male connector on the glass piece putting a female joint may lose some air? Is that why people care?
Thanks again!
EDIT: Was really loving Mobius matrixes, but now perhaps for my first piece I should look for something on this guys' page...

DI pieces are typically for oil so you can use a dome and nail without needing an adapter. As long as the joints are all at least decent quality, adapters shouldn't let any air in at all. It's mainly just a matter of personal preference and how you intend to use the piece.

I just got mine yesterday too, and this thing is incredible! I only have an UnderDog attachment though, haven't tried it with the Solo. Amazing glass piece for under $30. (I offered 26.99)

Just ordered myself the AliEx showerhead + 7? arm tree bubbler, left a message with the order asking if the pieces could have their percs as close to the bottom as possible, hopefully she knows english well and considers it.
Her reply:
"Hi,We make the new very good products now.
I can show you the pictures late"
Not sure if she fully understood me, oh well. Hope I get a decently placed perc.

i received my my honeycomb with arm perk mentioned i would rather have a bowl than a oil rig i had a nice little present packed in with my bubbler my bowl that of course fell right off the counter and on to the floor luckily it was fine being wrapped like 5 times with bubble wrap. everything looks great perk isn't perfectly straight but i could care less i will maybe put pics up after a bit and to my surprise i receive another package today and it was the oil rig stuff there was a little chip in the dome piece but i will never use it i am sure so i could care less i will definitely be getting more glass from them at some point maybe a bong with some diffusion and ice catchers if i ever see one pop up at a later point for cheap

Ordered this: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...rig-glass-bubbler-Free/705605_1386272476.html
Got a Bowl instead of the Oil Rig. A little bummed out because I bought a 14mm female to 14mm female in case I wanted to use this as a traditional pipe.
I wanted this as...an oil rig (I know crazy to think I'd get what was described ) This is my third purchase from the vendor and not sure if I should file a dispute since the item is wrong. She wrote this to me "Hi,About the 10 Arm Perc i lose the Oil rig 3 parts i will send you tomrrow.Very sorry." I thought she lost my order and was going to send me it tomorrow. 
But, here is a look for anyone interested:
