Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[SugoiBoy]

Mate if you talk with Yingmin he should be able to do you a deal privately. Dhgate seems to put some shipping restriction on him for some reason. The same thing happened to me and we just did a deal privately and I paid through Paypal. Hope that helps

Will definitely do! By any chance anyone know the private channel where I can contract the yingming5 since he has disappeared from FC and doesn't appear to answer his Dhgate inbox? (Sorry I'm a big noob )

For now message him on dhgate or his skype: lamin.qiu

@suugoiboy - sorry I just got in touch with him through his Dhgate inbox. He does not seem to have the chat option available.

edit: Yes those Chinese vendors are big fans of Skype!

 

[equatorgringo]

Yeah not a lot of options in China!

The 187 is the only one FC users have in hand afaik.

These videos are what pushed me to order. Wish I would have asked for no label though, .

Awesome, Tweak, my HI and Fake Cloud can't wait to meet their new cheap Chinese mate.

Yesterday I sent him a message through DHgate but still no answer... Usually how much he takes to answer?

I think he's over this site?

 

[flotntoke]

I think he's over this site?

Eh, maybe. But, could be he was just blocked from using the site. Don't think internet is as free and open in China. Or, could be as simple as his connection is down. Can't imagine a good businessman would turn away from the sales potential here.

 

[Herr_Dampf]

@flotntoke are you talking about yingmin5? I just checked his profile and it's still marked "unapproved commercial account".

I used to have a similar piece, inline, to 6-arm, to 6-arm.
Exact same shape, there was just 2 trees instead of the 1 there.

I liked it while I had it, but the inline was open ended and down facing, so it didn't really fire.

I ended up selling it to another member, who managed to break it within a few months, so I'm not so sure how good the durability is on them...

I liked it at the time, but wouldn't buy one again

So a mate of mine just made some oil for the first time, an he knew I had some oil gear etc, so he asked me to show him how dabbing worked.

I took round one of the adapter sets that comes with the D-020 line, and told him he could just have them (male male adapter, dome & glass nail) since I already had better gear for my own use.

He didn't want it for free though and have me an actual RooR carbon filter (worth about $60 or something)
I told him the adapters were worth all of $5 an he could just have em, but he insisted on trading

________________

After playing with my D-020 &-W, I've decided I'm never really gonna use them (I kinda knew that when I ordered them) so they have now been placed on indefinite loan to a few buddies for combustion purposes.

Seeing the excitement on their faces that there's finally a piece in my collection they can smoke through was more than worth the price of them

One thing is for sure you are the number one glass expert in the world!

I'm a beginner.

I love the D022 and it works great for my medical needs.

Today I'll break out the D020 and re-visit it's function.

I bought a cheap $300 glass piece just to have it break 1st session.

This cheaper stuff is great for me as I learn about this method of medication.

Hey guys! Just got my very first cheap quality bubbler!!! Its a D-020-W!!

It looks great and is air tight, plus the DBV whip adapter I got is almost snug!! It wiggles a tad but its still air tight.
Just wanted to make sure though.... should I just accept the flaws?? I figure I should but there is a chip on the side of one of the slits on the perc, also there is what appears to be a scratch, or a hairline crack, on the side of the can. its about 1.5 inches long. not really worried or anything but should I complain and get another or enjoy my cheap glass???!!

Good luck getting them to ship a replacement. They'll probably ask you to ship it back to them before they send you a replacement. I'd say just accept the cheap price, and use it until it becomes a problem

 

[jambandphan03]

I'd just enjoy it, all my glass has those kinds of flaws so far, nothing has show up in "perfect" condition. It would cost more than the glass cost to try to send it back and hope they send you something better or get refunded... if its working right, just think of those minor flaws are just part of the trade off for such a low price. Now, if it were costing hundreds of $, I would feel differently.

 

[Tweak]

My D020-W had a hairline scratch on it's can too. I'm thinking next time I order something from SSS (Sunshinestore) that I'll request no slides, I already have enough I don't use. I mentioned it to SSS, and he wanted a photo. For me, it wasn't worth the effort.

It bothered me at first but I got over it. It still functions the same and I'm not looking to resale it anyway.

If you are happy with it and it functions like it should, I see no reason to worry.

 

[MuushuPork]

Thanks guys nerves calmed!!

 

[equatorgringo]

Was talking to Lamin last night telling him not to worry about his account here, it is getting resolved. He then gave me some info regarding kathy's stuff:

If it bothers you.
Go to aqua labs web site and buy a $400 piece without flaws.
For less than $40 it's more than 1/2 the price of the local smoke shop.
Only buy cheap if it's not an issue?
Of the 5 units I received no defects.

I also noticed some small scratches and cracks on my d020-d but I don't think they affect performance at all and I agree that for what I paid, I didn't really expect pristine glass. The packaging seemed really nice though, like 3 layers of bubble wrap around the bubbler and each glass attachment was individually wrapped also inside that huge mess.

 

[Errl]

I actually had my first piece from Sunshine store that I wasn't extremely happy with, the D020-D.

I don't care about scratches and cosmetic stuff at all, but this piece has a chip in one of the slits that's large enough to cause only that perc to fire. I thought about it for a bit and decided it wasn't worth it to contact sunshine about it or file a claim, and I am a little disappointed but as ataxian pointed out we're buying cheap glass from China.

I'd suggest you make them aware of it and see what they do to rectify it. Maybe if you're able to take a picture of it for them they'll send you another one if you destroy your bad bubbler, the way you would with MFLB, for example

 

[jambandphan03]

I left feedback describing a crack in my frit AC and got a reply saying to let them know with a picture and they will refund. Might be worth contacting them if it affects performance.

 

[equatorgringo]

Always worth saying something if you feel unhappy. This is a product that you paid for, does not matter that it is "lesser quality" than the US glass or whatever. It may be easier to live with, but a big chip in the slit or similar that affects performance and aesthetics drastically is worth saying something.

It may be inexpensive and or cheap glass from China, but remember you are a customer and you paid for a product. Sure it is easier and less painful because it was a few bucks but shit you go about it like that a few times and you're looking at an accumulation of lost money and all that time wasted waiting.

I think DH realizes it's got a good thing going with us FC customers and should bend over backwards to keep our members happy. Customer service can tell you a lot about a company, and whether you want to do business with them

Hey if I got a defected piece I would give them hell!

I recieved 5 pieces so far and they all work amazing.

2 are on the way.
I hope my luck hasn't run out?

I believe if you took a picture of the defect they would send you the same one in perfect order.

I feel you brother!
