Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Hi all. Love the forum, I come from /r/vaporents. Quick question, which is better?

1: G18 from Sunshinestore - $45.59 shipped

2: GB-187-1 from Yingmin5 - $46.60 shipped

I plan to use with Da Buddha and WPA for hose... flowers mostly, but also going to get the flavor kit for some dabs occasionally. Thinking the GB-187 is a no-brainer since it's $46 with free shipping, whereas the G18 has a huge $20 shipping fee.

I could be wrong, but I don't think anyone here has tried the G18. Did you rule out the GB-186-1?

Wow, double the perc.... looks nice. Does it make a good difference over the 187? Hm. It would live on a desk, so smaller is preferable but if the hit quality is better it could be worth. I want the setup as I find hitting the DBV dry really too harsh with the amount I vape (suffering major coughing spells lately).

Yowza. Hm, yeah I think I'm back on the 187, then, at least as a nice starter piece. My only glass right now is just a regular hand pipe :X
I don't have experience with much glass, but I ordered the 187 and I love it. It is extremely functional for me which is all I care about. I didn't notice any cosmetic flaws until the more seasoned glass owners had pointed out the flaws in theirs. I have noticed only one real flaw, which is a sloppy Dewar joint, but it functions just fine. The base is a bit uneven, but it is nice and sturdy and level. If it isn't level it's close enough for my $46. :2c:

Interesting. Maybe. I don't think we have seen that one before?

How about this one?

They are in lots but you never know.

@Mister G I'm pretty sure this is a Lava glass hookah. Interesting, I thought they were supposedly manufactured in the United States;

FWIW, my 186 arrived perfectly. Don't regret it for a second. Best 60 bucks I'll ever spend on glass I'm guessing.

Hopefully the two cracked 186's were just a blip in the radar and yingmin rectified the supposed "employee" problems that caused it.
I totally agree. I'm expecting my replacement to be awesome. I should get it tomorrow with any luck :)

so far there have been 2 people who have received cracked 186 that won't hold water. I got the 187 and love it...
I hate to inform that I received the first non-functional GB-187-1, I was away from the country for a week, and upon arrival I found the package, I opened it, and before I even put a male adapter or slide, I knew it was not right, not only the female joint is recessed, it is oval too, there is a huge air leak in there and the slide has too much play to function. I'll contact Yingmin tomorrow and go from there.
I feel that it should not have even been sent in the first place, it is so obvious.

I would look through the D020 series - pick whichever fits your needs/desire. Here's a list of all the pieces http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/cheap-high-quality-bubbler.5255/page-270#post-601076

For the price, you can't go wrong with any of these. Haven't had one negative experience with sunshinestore

Has anyone had their status stick at "Processed through USPS Sort Facility" for multiple days? My status was last updated monday evening when it arrived in NY and was processed through (2 updates, 1 hour apart). It should be in my city by now. But I'm not seeing any new scans, it really should already be out for delivery, but sadly the status hasn't updated. Mail should be here within the hour, guess we'll find out

after a day of use, i'm back to report that my D020-D sadly does not milk well at all with my stock EQ elbow packed. it functioned flawlessly with my 15" tube but i guess there's too much diffusion with too little vapor density. it still gets me very medicated, and i just ordered an SSV wand a Ddave adapter so hopefully when that gets here it will milk better. i tried it out with my boyfriend's DBV and it works great. super smooth, super thick, i love this piece. you guys rock. would anybody be interested in a detailed video review on it?

Glad you are liking it. My D020-D and D020-W have been getting a bunch of use from me too, IMO they are the perfect size bubblers for vapor.

Would always like to see more videos, :D. I've been meaning to make one myself comparing the D020-D vs the GB-187 and the Mobius Matrix, but it takes a lot of energy, preparation, and time.

FINALLY received my D020 from Aliexpress (ordered early April) and everything is flawless! The quality is very good, and not a scratch. Unfortunately, I find the piece way to small! I'm babysitting @lazylathe's WP-010 and prefer its size much more. I do have big lungs and can take huge hits, but regardless find the d020 too small for my needs. I found the same thing with the little Pinnacle micro hydro tubes. I also find that the smaller bubbler won't milk as well as the bigger one.

I think something between the d020 and wp-010 in size would be perfect. Suggestions?

Been having some weird problems with USPS lately. A current shipment coming from Sunsine store showed out for delivery yesterday and never arrived. Today it showed it went back to a different post office. I called USPS CS and they looked at the tracking and said it shows out for delivery from my local post office. Good, but odd that my tyracking shows something else.
Anyway, I'm just sayin that USPS has been flaky for me lately too. :)

Don't know about your location, but for europeans Blaze pieces can be pretty cheap.
I own their knock off version of the Möbius Clear Matrix, around 85 euros (yeah, not as cheap as Ali, but you get propper QC). It's a rather large can, but they also offer smaller ones like their 9-arm perc and the showerhead. Those are cheaper as well. Except for the worked showerhead of course ;)

For larger can size, the D020-D is slightly larger, but you sound like you want volume that is maybe better served by the GB-186, GB-187, or GB-188 or GB-189. See the links in my sig for more info on those. There are size comparison pics scattered over the last several pages of this thread for many of these.

Do what you like!
I build my little bubblers up if I want more volume. ASH COLLECTORS, CAISENS help to this. Some times I like the bubbler by itself. I like low powered vaporizers and I'm more of a sipper. Were all different.
@Mister G and @Herr_Dampf have nice collections of glass. I will copy them at some point. I love the D020 however I add more volume to it.
It's small however very inexpensive.
I have many different tools.

One to do everything?

I also like adding an ashcatcher to my D bubs but along with extra volume comes extra diffusion which might put some folks off. Doesn't particularly bother me though.

I'm a high diffusion guy myself, we're the only two members of the club as far as I know lol. (Woops of course @ataxian too!) I run sunshinestores honeycomb ashcatcher through my 186.

For me though, the diffusion is usually a requirement rather than preference. My throat gets extra dry and sensitive on hotter days.
