Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[Sinclue]

I used that link and I made an account and its still asking for a VAT with a required "*".

I'd check my DHGate account details to make sure your address is correct. If you accidentally stop in the wrong place in the Country drop down menu the system won't notice the difference. Billing info is probably set up by country....just a thought. Don't know if that is the problem, but I've made that mistake elsewhere. Even though my address gave a city and state I had mistakenly stopped at something like Switzerland and it wanted VAT info. Some things you apparently can't do if you are too vaped!

Damn, that 189 is way bigger than I was expecting...

Based on the share pics, I thought the can was close to as tall as the d020, but slightly wider.
It's about twice as big as I thought it was...

Thanks for the pics

 

[Radio]

Here are some pics to go with my review of the GB-189.



You can see how much wider and thicker is the base of the 189. The larger can volume is nice too. It's great to have options!

GB-189 ; D020-D ; D020

Overhead View (pardon my dirty claisen):

These are nice. Loving the middle one

I received my fb-186 from Yingmin yesterday. Bad news. It was D. O.A. It looked awesome but once I added water I found it leaked like crazy. I then found a good size crack on the bottom joint. Fuck it. I am having a bad run with Yingmin. First order was wrong product and my second order broken. He made it right last time but I did keep the wrong one and pay him another $20. This time I am going to need a complete replacement. Fingers crossed it goes smoothly. I didn't realize the 186 was so big too. I love the form of it. Just need one that will function

Sorry to hear about that. You'd think these things would be tested before being shipped. Like at least after it's made the manufacturer would fill it up with water at the very least.

 

[Frederick McGuire]

At the prices we're paying, direct from china, I'm personally not expecting any testing at all.

Id expect that they are making them, (hopefully) annealing it in the kiln, then just packing them up once they've cooled down.

Hell, if you've seen some of the designs they've tried to come up with on their own, it's pretty clear that a lot of the guys over there don't understand what the intended function is, or if they do understand the intended function, they don't understand how the piece will actually work once completed...

 

[Mr. Gweilo 420]

Well I just sent Yingmin a message and explained what had happened. I asked him to send a replacement. Will update once I make some progress.

 

[PoopMachine]

Sounds like yours is broken in the same place mine is. Whoever was doing those welds must have been having a bad week.

 

[Delta3DStudios]

Yeah, not so impressed with the quality coming from yingming5 so far. His prices are higher than Sunshinestore, but I'm hearing way more complaints about wrong shipments, and quality issues.

I've ordered 3 pieces from Sunshine store so far, and all 3 have no problems. My 4th piece (D020-W) might be the fastest shipped piece. Ordered Thursday, should have it Wednesday!

Good luck to all, I'm interested in that recycler from Yingming, but at this rate, no way! I'll wait until things improve before I order

 

[Mister G]

Wow, @Mr. Gweilo 420 you have the worst luck it seems

I am 1 for 1 with Yingmin5 - I got the 189 just as ordered, it has no real problems, works as advertised, arrived pretty quick. I would order again and just hope I don't get a lemon, but yeah, his hit rate here is slipping a little, Sunshine Store does seem more reliable.

 

[rosetta]

Sorry for the wait everyone!

Pics of the kathy hu recycler I bought together with a micro rig I got sent for free. "

I will post a video of the recycler eventually. It does recycle nicely but does not cyclone.
The micro piece I really like. It stacks bubbles in the tiny beaker base and delivers tasty hits, I even bought a ti 10mm female domeless nail for it. Honestly this is even more of an amazing deal because most micro pieces are 5x more expensive than what kathy hu has them for. http://www.thedablab.com/k-nine-swo...elly-button-pendant-rig-w-2-hole-diffy-clear/

I saw the exact recycler at a local smoke shop for 109.99...

 

[rosetta]

Just an after thought, will the Chinese ever be good enough to make slime pieces? Where do you see Chinese glass in another year?

 

[Radio]

I would be happy to receive this in the mail. It's a very creative design!

 

[PoopMachine]

Im getting a 189 with my replacement 186. I asked him to inspect the quality of both before he sends them.. hopefully he does.

 

[BoogerMan]

I really hope my 187 and 194 from Yingmin5 are not cracked and are the right items... Knock on wood. Im not having a good feeling seeing the past couple reviews about this seller. But Yimgmin seems like a honest seller so hopefully they make it right for everyone that had a problem with their order.

My order is preparing to dispatch china so it should be in the US next week and possibly in my hands by next weekend

I just used the D020 with a CASIEN and it was so nice.

 

[jambandphan03]

I am going to count myself lucky then, my 187 only has a very minor flaw (sloppy dewar joint) that doesn't really effect function so far. I am sorry for those being sent cracked and nonfunctional pieces, that's never a good experience. I am also very happy I got the specific recycler I ordered, though the "newer" one looks nice enough, it's just not the same, and has a shorter profile. I have one more on the way, it's the inline A/C ( http://www.dhgate.com/store/product...-circle-water-glass-percolator/183012721.html ) to round out my perc variety, though I think this might be a good stopping point for me for a little while. I've pushed my luck pretty far ordering so many and having most them turn out pretty good. Also running out of room in my cabinet... I hope those with damaged pieces get resolved quickly.

 

[pigfoot]

Thank you for the link!

I will find the largest glass Ash Collector or just have one made?

The base is perfect.
A male joint instead of a female?
They have a really good JHOOK for the mouth piece?

This will medicate!
Very cheap!
This piece x2 as big!
EASY!
Add a base plate.
Those other tornado piece I would break first use.
This ash collector has the action with out the fragile factor!

Do you know where you got the J hook in the bottom picture?
Looks like it would put the Lotus at a great viewing angle.

That looks like the J-hook from MT (Lotus j-hook kit). Mine says GRAV on it - which is the brand I believe

I love mine, going to try connecting it to my Davinci Ascent 14mm GONG adapter today for some slow-sipping movie time (The Lego movie, on my 90" theater in the basement, wife's at work, no kids.... Ah life is grand)

 

[cybrguy]

Yep, I have the same one as well. I was a little surprised when it came that it wasn't a little bigger, but I like it.

http://www.dhgate.com/product/glass-bong-glass-smoking-pipe-with-2-percs/191510305.html

I'm basically just trying to find a nice recycle bubbler and 8-14" barrel rig (still haven't quite decided on which size..) I currently have a foot long bong with a roor down stem, and dome nail attachment which drags enough when not filled with water and ice. Now I just want a nice balanced amount of priming and clearing without too much drag (I don't foresee any of them having any drag I can't handle though). In case anyone's wondering why I have so many thick tubed picks for the rigs with (both legit and possible or potential) ice catchers, it's because I really love having the option of having a smooth cool hit some days; either way, I'm trying to find out which ones may look like they have too much splash/diffusion/percolation/flavor loss. And of course which ones may appear to be just pure junk. Any help or other recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!

Do you know where you got the J hook in the bottom picture?
Looks like it would put the Lotus at a great viewing angle.

I have 3 different jhooks I use for the LOTUS.
I think the one your referring to is the 14 mm from agua labs?

From my understanding, USGLOBALIMPORTS.com is a wholesaler and will only sale to business owners that have a resell license. I tried ordering from them about a year ago and it would not let me finish checking out without contacting them. I tried contacting them and they needed my reselling license/tax id (or something like that) and they said if I am just a normal customer I can visit http://www.ezvapure.com to purchase items at retail price

6" RECYCLER OIL RIG GLASS BUBBLER WATER PIPE NO BONG ($49.00)
http://www.ioffer.com/i/6-recycler-oil-rig-glass-bubbler-water-pipe-no-bong-562743644

My experience with smaller recyclers like this have not been very good. It recycles okay but if you pull just a little too hard the water will creep up the mouthpiece and end up in your mouth. I bought 2 or 3 of these a few months back and used each one a few times and then decided there are much better options out there and they have since been sold to others. I honestly think there are better recyclers out there for not much more that function a lot better (like some of the ones on DHgate).

NEW BLACK SMALL BONG MINI WATER PIPE ($19.32)
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/new-black-small-bong-mini-water-pipe-pocket/190895046.html

I have this one as well. I don't like it and I do not recommend buying it. I am trying to sell it to get something different. The water level is extremely sensitive. If you want it to recycle you have to set it a little above the perc, but then you get water in your mouth about 90% of the time. If you don't want water in your mouth you have to put the water just right above the perc and then it doesn't recycler The layer cake found at the link below is much better. I only get water in my mouth like 5% of the time if that.

Grab this nail for it if you are into concentrates. The titanium is as pure as medical grade, they ship a material certificate with each nail.

TWO FUNCTION 9 ARM PERC AND HONEYCOMB ($37.50)
http://www.dhgate.com/product/two-function-9-arm-percolator-and-honey-comb/186419724.html

I haven't used this exact piece but it does look like it would function well. It looks a little big for a rig (about 12 inches tall, 30 cm), but if you want a big rig this will be a good one. I would still recommend this one over the others above (besides the layer cake, that little guy is awesome). I posted some links of larger rigs like this one at the bottom of the post.

http://www.dhgate.com/product/glass-bong-glass-smoking-pipe-with-2-percs/191510305.html

I have a double honeycomb to turbine 16" that I really like. It has a lot of diffusion, just like this single honeycomb to turbine will, so it will take away some of the flavor. It will stack nicely though and if you pull hard enough you should get a tornado action from the turbine.

Actually that would be the one in the TOP picture by itself. The one in the bottom picture connected to the other pieces looks to be the Grav Labs one that Lotus sells. It doesn't have that wide mouthpiece that the Chinese one has.

Here is a pic of the one that arrived Friday from Lotus.

You're right it was the one in the bottom picture. Sorry about that! I updated my post with the correct links (looks pretty cheap on ioffer).
