@Mister G Nice review dude and I'm glad you like it. How high are you filling the water? I find it needs to be around about level with the turbine. Also, while I think of it the turbine action is much better on the TDS-209 even though it is just a small bubbler. There is definitely no real tornado like action on the GB-189 but did you notice that when you clear the piece it absolutely roars?

Even though I am not loving this piece so far I totally agree with you about the quality of Yingmin's glass. To me it looks to be of very good quality. The glass is thick and I could not find any imperfections.

I am going to order one more. Now to decide between the 186 or 187. Hmmmm or maybe I will pick something totally different :)

EDIT: ALERT ALERT - looks like Yingmin has some new stuff :) GAS sufferers beware.

@slvelocity, I've never had any interest in sidecars, but after reading your post I feel like I NEED one right now

I had the exact same thought when a previous poster reviewed the d020-w! $30?! Just eat at home with the lady friend for a night and I can buy TWO!!

The visual appeal of watching a perc function makes me like a fat kid in a candy shop.

So I warn you. If you're like me and you have GAS and you're a cloud chaser.... actually hell who am I kidding it's $30 bucks bro! It's worth it just to satisfy the curiosity!

Or like others have mentioned, be a superhero to your friends and gift it away if it's just not for you :D

Random note: just took a dab and stood up too fast and got the light headed feeling with the dab hitting me at once. Zomg..

Yingmin has this. The GB-048, single unit $61.79 - $67.05;
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/glass-bong-glass-smoking-pipe-with-ice-pinch/191508012.html

Also the GB-20, tiple Honeycomb perc, Roor logo, looks very tall, single unit $63.67-$69.10;
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/new-glass-bong-glass-smoking-pipe-with-3/191777030.html

They both look very interesting but I am wondering if perhaps these pieces may be best suited for combustion purposes. I've been looking at pictures of pieces similar to the GB-048 for a while but this is the first time I have seen them offered for sale as single pieces. Any thoughts?

Alot of the rigs we see here are definitely for combustion.In my experience I noticed the rigs that are bigger with multi percs really smooth out the SMOKE (I say smoke and not vapor in this sense) I only have a Solo and I notice that those rigs that achieve mass amount diffusion due to multi percs kill the flavor. IMO when vaping I like smaller rigs which I think preserve flavor more, I gravitate towards the smaller oil rigs, which are easier to milk and clear. Most of what I own are bubbs. I occasionally burn, but in bigger rigs w/ a charcoal filter attached and its a blast to see the rigs deliver massive clouds and some of the road filtered out:tup:

I want to thank ALL for carrying the torch to discover more vendors and their rigs. This thread runs strong constantly and is a blast to see what members find.:nod:

Got mine yesterday. :D

What is weird is that even though the GB-187 is a few inches taller than my D020-D, the difference in weight is minimal. My GB-187 weighs 456 G, while my D020-D weighs in at 440 G. Don't know why, either the D020-D is thicker or the wider can on the D020-D makes up for the taller can on the GB-187.

Cosmetically I'm kinda disappointed. After all the glowing reviews I thought the quality would be better. The top of my can isn't straight, has a angle as it goes toward the mouthpiece, very noticable. And there looks like a crack/defect right next to the dewaar joint. The perc is straight though, so that's awesome. I'm not seeing the quality difference vs SunshineStore's glass, :shrug:.

But in terms of performance, this thing fucking rocks, :rockon:. So easy to stack the bubbles and doesn't feel like it takes much to keep the bubbles in the air, kind of hard to explain. Each session I tried I liked the GB-187 even more. My only gripe is that because of the height of the bubbler, it doesn't feel as sturdy of the D020-D. With the tiny e-nano on top I could feel it being top heavy. A small price to pay for more volume I guess.

Ahh! So hard to not pull the trigger on the D020-W - my wife already laughs at me for the phallic shape of the mouthpiece on my Molino bubbler (old combusting piece). What will she say if I pull out the D020-W???

But it's so tempting - the perc I want, and the sidecar shape I want. Please someone make something similar with a normal mouthpiece!

The W's mouthpiece isn't THAT phallic...its more of a snake head shape. I have always been a big fan of sidecars and once I saw the W I knew I had to have it. Finally tried out one of my D's a few nights ago for some dabs and I didn't like it nearly as much as the W. The viewing angle was fruatrating for me.

I'm filling the 189 same as where you are, just about level with the perc, maybe a tiny bit above it. When you inhale, the water separates and there's water, air pocket, perc, water, then bubbles on top. Mine does roar when you clear, very throaty, much moreso than my D020-D.

@Ratchett maybe pick up the 188 or 189, they are not the birdcage perc, but quality affordable sidecars nonetheless.

Thanks, I have a turbine AC similar to the 189, not too impressed with it - I want something with a bit more diffusion. The 188 is nice, but then I'd have to buy a female to female adapter. And the D020-W is cheaper.

Plus I'm a lefty, so the mouthpiece is on the proper side for me..... Ah hell, I need some more glass, I'm buying the D020-W for now. Until something nice perks my interest. I feel more comfortable swinging $34 than $48 plus an adapter. Especially since I know if I order now, I'll have it by thursday/friday of next week (I love sunshinestore's fast shipping speeds!). And since I'm looking at buying a Nano vape next week, I'd rather save some money so I can grab a nice exotic wood version!
