Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Frederick McGuire

Aggressively Loungey
I have a piece that had a pinhole leak in it from GBD.
It was small enough that I couldn't see it with the naked eye, and it didn't seem to affect the hit, but if I left the piece with water in it, and came back 20+ mins later, it would have dumped all its water out...

I went to my local hardware store and got some glass epoxy. It sealed up the hole nicely and hasn't given me any issues since.
The epoxy was for repairing drinking glasses etc. so I'm fairly sure it is food safe...
It has minimal contact with the water/vapor, so I'm happy with the safety of it for this application.

Got my GB-186. First impressions, are it is cleaner than my Do20 was. At first glance it looks very nice. But it has flaws. A scratch here, a little glass booger there, imperfect welds, slightly crooked perc. I don't think @ataxian will like this one because the mouthpiece is kind of bongish in its large diameter. Overall I like it. 2 ROOR Logos:shrug:.one black and one white.
Here is a video of the un-boxing. Warning it is upside down, and kind of long but you can fast forward. I couldn't figure out how to flip it over...

Here are some pics.

Here's a SloMo water test.
Finally the
MILKSHOT. @THC SCIENTIFIC might be interested in this part. Persei with 7.4v KISS cart doing the milking! This thing has almost zero drag! Even to overcome the stemless it still just purrs. The perc seems to fire everywhere despite the top matrix being crooked.

Nice post. Thanks.
Where can I find the adapters you used to connect your Persei to the bubbler? I've been looking for a way to use my pen just like that.

I got them from Oregonglassblower on Ioffer.
http://www.ioffer.com/selling/oregonglassblower
They were not specifically listed so I put the male version in my cart and asked in the comments section if he could make it with a female joint. He replied quickly and the price was the same as the listed male fitting. I also asked him to make the "ball" part a little bigger so I can watch the vapor. The first set that I ordered were much smaller. Also he gives a 10%FC discount. Put items in cart then "make offer" based on 10% off of his listed prices. Shipping is included in the prices. Mike usually makes them the next day and his shipping is usually quick also.

Looking back through the thread, trying to determine who found this beauty.

Looks like it was @Vaporgin. who first found the D020

This thread is 2 years old but has nearly tippled in size since finding the D020, while my glass collection has quadrupled in size, :lol:.

Thanks Vaporgin, :tup:

I got the JH010 in today from Btoc_jewelry.

It is the same as the toro micro knock off I reviewed earlier, but the percs are showerheads. It is a lot smoother compared to the double vertical inline percs. $45

Pairs nice with the cano bag ;)

BoogerMan, I've been looking for a convenient way to hookup my volcano bag to glass, and it looks like you have a great method here! What are the specs on that 90degree adapter? What size is the female joint? and what size is the male joint? Do you have a link for that adapter?

I think it started a little further back on page 80 when the Aliexpress was discovered. http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/cheap-high-quality-bubbler.5255/page-80#post-440471 too bad the links don't work anymore... I still have and sometimes use the aliex- honeycomb and single showerhead bubbler... this is where I noticed the beginning of the china GAS :rofl:

I was tempted by that piece but it wasn't until the D020 where I stopped looking for my next high end bubbler. :clap:

I used aquarium silicone to repair my GBD Frit. Works Great!! Local Glass Blower wanted $150 to repair. Thats original cost

May I ask how it broke?

I'm pretty sure that Aquarium silicone is no different than Pure Silicone (food grade) for anybody interested in doing repairs.
 
The detachable mouthpiece dropped and kissed the tube at an angle on the top of the tube.
Funny because the mouthpiece is made of thinner glass than the tube. But now working flawlessly

I am sure there are better deals out there, but I can have this at my door in 2 days... for sealing the pin hole in the recycler... http://www.amazon.com/All-Glass-Aquariums-15905650038-Silicone/dp/B0002ASD2K/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1400872391&sr=8-4&keywords=aquarium silicone

I'm sure it won't take much, so I don't really need a lot. Hope it works.

I have been using the 187/claisen/sublimator combo and really liking it.

Sorry to see the 186 had a bad joint... hope you get that worked out. How tall is that piece? looks bigger than the others, but it really is hard to tell for sure.

Thanks @loggerknees. The female size can be whatever fits your rig. Then the male size is 18mm. Or you can get a male to male adapter if using a waterpipe. So to connect the bag to the 18mm male joint I used non toxic vinyl tubing. I believe I got it at Home Depot. I don't remember the exact size tubing. I can measure when I get home. I just brought the adapter with me and found tubing that fit snug on the 18mm male side :)

Damn you, party liquor
^^ amen, brother

I've been waiting patiently for this to be offered as a single. I've messaged the seller twice but no response, so that might be a sign anyway. If anyone sees it as a single let us know.

Dang you dhgate and your constantly shifting mobile/regular site. Half the time I can post the pic and half the time it's the link. :doh:

thoroughly vaped
I used to hang a bag on a bubbler all the time when I was using the EQ more. Once you take the initial pressure off the bag, the water keeps any vapor from leaking out. Very nice to carry around the house and take a hit here and there as you please. Makes doing the dishes or folding laundry much more pleasant!

You may want to be careful with silicon tubing from Home Depot, though. Guess it would be OK in a pinch, but you can buy medical grade all over the web by the foot for pretty cheap. You only need an inch to 1 1/2 between the bag and vape-hose GonG. IME it has much less taste. Taste already suffers with the bag, adding that plasticy flavor of cheap silicon would kill it for me.

To inhale vapor out of a bag seems gross?

I wouldn't really say gross. You want to get rid of them when they start getting residue inside, and you would want to finish a bag in less than 15 minutes. Fresh vapor taste doesn't last long, either. But, surprisingly not too bad for a change of pace or to easily get some vapor into combusting friends. They have their place. But, always makes me feel a little bad for Volcano owners.

Ill take a side by side for you and post it tonight. Yamin is sending me another 186.. quick turnaround on messaging him. Im not sure if he actually has any more.. I think the language barrier may be in play there but he said he would replace it at no charge. Cant beat that.. Ill be buying one of his other pieces probably in a week or so... Ive got to retire some stuff and Im not sure what. The 187 has become my "go to".. maybe my D020 will get regifted to someone.. I just dont have a lot of expendable glass at this point.
