Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[Tweak]

That MP scares me.

Did they really need that much glass there? Looks like it would be an easy break, especially with all the weight of two percs + stem.

...or before if I decide I need to take the afternoon off...

Please do, we need pics ASAP,

 

[Dangus]

crossing my fingers you get what you are hoping for Dangus... I know a lot of folks are eager to see what they shipped out.

Thanks @jambandphan03 - me too. Always interesting being one of the first to jump in...but fun!

EDIT: @Tweak I'm pretty tempted...guess I should be productive here for a bit so I can...

If it scares you just think of what it would do to ataxian!

The only thing about it that looks particularly sketchy to me is the little horizontal bit connecting it to the main can... Aside from that, it looks pretty much like a knockoff of the mobius 60/65b mouthpiece...

When I go to order a 186 it says MOQ 12 pieces @ $511 ??

there are a few different choices on there. 12, 2 & 1, so easy to get confused.

EDIT @Frederick McGuire : agreed, that is what mainly concerned me as well.

Seriously? Did you see the pic @Tweak posted? Doesn't look like these IMO...

Edit- ok FMac I re-read your comment and get it now we are talking about the same thing lol My apologies. I should of known better questioning you to begin with. Ha, my first thought was how ripped is he?!?

 

[HugieLewis]

Thanks for the replies on shipping guys. I was offered $13 off my total with 11 items....I was definitely hoping for more of a break but so it goes. Still pretty damn cheap. Looking forward to playing with the in line ash catcher.

Also that mouthpiece on the 186......UGH! Too each their own but I couldn't live with it personally.

The most immediate thing I notice is how much thinner those horizontal connector pieces are to the main tube, as mentioned. It's very apparent here.

Thanks Dangus! Qas on my phone Using the dhgate app doesn't let me choose.

My main concern is the quality of the matrices...

So long at they offer similar drag and diffusion levels as a mobius matrix, I'll be OK with a slightly janky mouthpiece (I'd rather the mouthpiece be perfect too, but if I can send positive vibes to any part of the piece, it'll be the percs)...
I'm already expecting it to be not the strongest of pieces, so I'll be babying it anyways, and at something like 1/6 of the price of the real thing, I'm not too picky

I was hitting the cloud pretty hard earlier tonight
Now for a solo stem and

 

[Tweak]

My attempt at Gimp.

Looking closer, the bottom joint on the Mobius is much bigger and thicker too, wonder if this effects drag any?

My 187 just arrived. I can't test it out until I get home, but here are a few pics:

Seems like decent quality from my first impressions. The only issue I see so far is that the dewaar joint is recessed about .5cm so it may not mate with the Cloud/Evo without a cloudbuddy or adapter. We shall find out for sure when I get home.

She looks lovely!

Gotta stop watching this thread or find a part time job! GAS is killing me in here.

It's $46 shipped. That's the kind of GAS that won't break the bank! C'mon, flotntoke.... you know you want one...All the cool kids are doing it, y'know.

 

[ryan8]

Looks really well made. A shame about the roor logo though! I'm sure there are a bunch of people waiting for you to get home lol. Drive safe!

 

[snackmaster]

A shame about the roor logo though!

I'm anticipating at least a couple posts on how to remove that label

Edit: also, look on the bright, at least it's ROOR - they could have those heinous zob labels instead!

 

[jambandphan03]

GAS never ends!!! That looks like a good one there @Stu... can't wait to see the perc in action.

Just tossed this together... a quick perc comparison.
Green background is the 187 and grey is Mobius
Not expecting miracles, obviously the Mobius perc is better, but the 187 looks closer than the D020-D.

 

[Dangus]

Nice pics @Stu !...my internet was being a bit wonky and I'm running short on time at the moment....but I stopped home and checked it out.

short answer: Very impressed

here's a link to it paired with the LSV:

G'damned peer pressure!!! Just what I needed! Thanks, Stu . Think I can hold out until my D020-W's get here (soon I hope), and I give one a good run. But, if these are starting to land in the states, I know the videos will be coming. DAMNED gorgeous videos!!! Just like f'n visual kryptonite. ARGH!! I'm toast. Hopefully I'll be able to hold off till payday so I can still pay the internet bill.

Wonder if I can get someone to pay me to put up some new shelves in my own house. 2 birds with one stone.... money for GAS and someplace to put all the objects of this crazy obsession. Any patrons out there?

EDIT: See what I mean? I couldn't even get my post up fast enough. Damn you too, @Dangus!! Couldn't you make it look at least a little bad on the vid?

 

[equatorgringo]

Bought the 186. Stoked on this one. Deep down I am hoping the bottom joint's narrow and kind of high placement does not affect the performance too much. Other than that, I gotta go grab my D and give that a go some day!

Hey all,

Got my 187 today as well. Initial impressions are positive. It does in fact have the ROOR logo and it appears etched (I'll take a closer look in a minute). Packaging and shipping time were both great.

Cons:
The mouth stem is slightly canted, probably less than 2 degrees.. most wouldn't notice it.
The down stem is also canted, probably 5 degrees. Does not look like this will impede functionality, but I will know after running it through its paces.

Random observation: There seems to be a "nub" or "wart" tacking the perch to the base. It is centered and on the bottom of the perk, so it shouldn't affect functionality.

I have some pictures with it next to a D-020 if anyone is interested and I can also do special requests. I'll have to email them to someone to host and post though..

Back in 20.. heating up the enano and am going to try this guy out.

the thing attaching the perc to the bottom of the can is a weld, they're for stability. shouldn't affect it unless it somehow goes over to the percs and messes with the air/vapor diffusing through.

Nice!

Mine hasnt moved since showing up in New York 4 days ago. Hopefully its enroute and Ill have it tomorrow. With my Mobius breaking, this could be a great replacement until I find somone to fix it.
