Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[PoopMachine]

Please someone receive the 187 and tell me it's awesome so I can order it! (any shop sending it to Europe?)

I should have mine tomorrow or Thursday Id guess. It passed through New York 2 days ago.

Question for you. I ordered mine on the 27th and I am still seeing "2014-04-29" "SHENZHEN" "Arrival at Sorting Center" on their tracking system. It looks like you ordered the day before me. I was wondering what day yours passed through Shenzen?

Also, I'll post back my initial feedback once I've looked it over and tried it out. I'm running an E-Nano and have a D-020 to compare it to.

How long does it take the package to clear customs? My D has been sitting in Chicago for 3 days

Hopefully this Yingmin5 seller turns out good with the 187's cause I just got this email from him about the 186's:

Hi {equatorgringo},

thanks and best regards
lamin

I hear you. At this point I'm just acquiring out of addiction haha. I haven't even picked up my D and I'm already on these 186's...priorities...

 

[cybrguy]

I was quite certain my next purchase was going to be more glass, probably the 187. But I have had my hand on the "complete order" button on a Lotus all day.

What did you guys do to me?

My D arrived in Chicago, and then I received it with no additional tracking updates. So you may even receive it tomorrow, like in my experience.

How many days between the last update in Chicago to the delivery? not surprised that USPS tracking wouldn't be supported, heard that from a couple other sources.

If it shows sitting at ELK GROVE VILLAGE, good luck with that, my sublimator sat there for two weeks until Planetvape got involved. If you google it, that place has some of the most negative comments I have seen.

Well, I just heard back from Lamin (I had no idea that he was Yingmin store, or was on DHGate ), all is a go for my sample order (a 186 & a 187).
Just gotta arrange my payment tonight and wait for the glass.

Edit:
After currency conversion, and payment processing fees, the $usd128 tuned into $aud165, so I'm gonna just call it $85 a piece cost to me - fingers crossed they are quality matrices.

Just got my order from sunshine store

Took 4 days (Including a weekend, so 2 business days) to get from china to aussie customs, and 6 business days from aussie customs to my door.

First impressions:

D020:
- A little bit smaller than I expected, but not too small.
- All slits are fairly evenly cut and spaced. Not fire polished but oh well .
- I noticed an ever so slight nub on the bottom of the showerhead - it looks like where you would brace it to the bottom of the can. There's no brace, but maybe whoever is blowing the showerheads (I'm assuming sunshine store is just a reseller, not the actual blower?) intends for it to be braced? (I wasn't expecting it to be braced)
- Workmanship on it seems good, no bubbles or anything major noticed, but I haven't inspected it too thoroughly.
- I forgot it had the little brace from the neck to the top of the can - I'm not sure how useful that will be, but I like it.
- The diffusion seems to be "rough". I put my water level a smidge above the top of the slits (1/2cm max) and almost got water into the neck on a test pull. Not a negative thing, but something I'll have to remember.
- The dewaar joint is a little bit recessed - I'm pretty sure I'll have to use my cloudbuddy if I want to use my cloud with it.

D020-W
- A bit bigger than the D020 - I prefer this size.
- The sidecar mouthpiece is attached to the right hand side of the piece - technically that makes it a "left handed" design, but it's not a major hassle to work around it.
- The diffusion seems a bit smoother than the D020 - I put my water level to a bit above the top of the matrix (1/2-1cm) and there didn't seem to be any risk of bubbles entering the neck.
- Workmanship on it seems good, no bubbles or anything major noticed, but I haven't inspected it too thoroughly. the mouthpiece might be rotated counter clockwise by 10 degrees or so, or it might just be the design...
- The dewaar joint is a little bit recessed - I'm pretty sure I'll have to use my cloudbuddy if I want to use my cloud with it.

Fritted ash catcher
- Color looks cool
- it could handle being a bit taller, but it seems to be their generic ash catcher size, so can't blame them.
- Workmanship overall seems good, but mine came with 2 small cracks in it
I'm gonna have to contact sunshine store to get it replaced or something.
The cracks are very small, less than 1cm each, and they don't seem to go all the way through the glass (can't feel them on te outside) but I'm not gonna be using it

Just got my order from sunshine store

So how is the size of the D020-W compared to the Ion Matrix? I'm guessing the Mobius is slightly larger?

The D020-W is my new favorite piece.

 

[jambandphan03]

my fritted AC also has a small crack in the can, where the frit is placed. It doesn't seem to effect anything, at this point its just a visual flaw. I don't know how long it will hold up, but so far no issues using it as is.

OK, some new stuff showed up from Kathy, let me know if any of these are repeats and I'll edit.

The line perc to hc isn't new. Own that one for quite a while, very nice piece in combination with the Solo imho.

Edit: It doesn't look like it in the pic, but at least the one I got has a reinforcement between the end of the line perc and the wall.

 

[Vitolo]

I have a 5 arm perc like the 10 arm one shown in post 5845 above.
I really do like it.
I got it from Thick Ass Glass for 24 dollars and it was here in 48 hours.

 

[FlyingLow]

The link for the 10-arm is a bit odd. They show two different pieces in the description pictures. One with the female joint recessed in the piece, and another with the female joint above the chamber. And all different sizes (12, 16, or 17cm). I wonder which one is correct?

@Herr_Dampf

Nice hunting, but for that tree perc model, they have the following picture as well as the one you posted, so which model do you get? The pic below shows one with a can more like the D020-D, but no base. Looks like different mouthpieces too. What's up with that?

 

[Dangus]

Yea, that's a bit strange. Guess it's all part of the game in this...not nearly as attractive without the base IMO

 

[Raskin666]

How many days between the last update in Chicago to the delivery? not surprised that USPS tracking wouldn't be supported, heard that from a couple other sources.

Maybe 4 to 5 days after it first said it was in Chicago.

Looking forward to your update on the 187!

 

[tepictoton]

yingmin 5 just let me know he will start shipping to europe and will add the option within 48hours

Edit: stupid GAS

 

[Mister G]

Hopefully this Yingmin5 seller turns out good with the 187's cause I just got this email from him about the 186's:

Damn, the 186 looks tempting...but I really wish the 189 would be put up for singles. Yingmin told me they didn't have enough lots to break one up like that, but maybe I just need to NAG them some more.

 

[equatorgringo]

The key is to nag NAG NAG!!! It's like winning a game when they give in.

 

[cybrguy]

I was kinda hoping that @PoopMachine or @Dangus might get their GB-187 today. But maybe not...

Wasn't there a really cheap j-hook from sunshine store? I can't seem to find it.
