Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[Delta3DStudios]

Argh! So tough to hold back from buying that tornado - How thick is the glass? It looks rounded on the base, right? I don't really like that

I need to hold off for a bit, Gah! So hard to wait! Damn GAS lol. This thread really is dangerous - I think the mods should add a disclaimer to this thread (big bold red text at the top). This thread is DANGEROUS for your wallet!

I know, I have unwatched this thread a couple of times now, trying to quit... just can't seem to stop. I like having the variety of percs. I do have a couple of repeat pieces (showerhead and matrix style percs) but I have been trying to gather more of a variety, either a different shape can or perc style than what I already have if I am going to add more. Still haven't seen a sidecar that really grabs me yet...but I do love that style, and being able to see the can better. I am hoping that cyclone is on the larger size compared to the D020 line, I have been trying to find a suitable heavier piece for using the sublimator on. I just don't want it tipping over, and the other pieces I have put it pretty close to the face which isn't ideal either, even though I have successfully used it with many of them.

You can't get away even if you don't read this thread. I tried. Over in the Lotus thread Pigfoot showed that really nice onion bulb ashcatcher as a great combo for the Lotus and a j-hook that gives a perfect view of the glass AND the Lotus. I though "Hey, that ashcatcher is as much as my D020 and 20-T so I won't be buying it", but when I came over here and found this delivered for $18.55 I couldn't resist.

Here you go http://www.dhgate.com/product/new-come-mini-globe-glass-bong-glass-water/194444223.html

It doesn't seem to have any kind of perc but I'm going to use it for oil so it's all good. I really digged the form factor, it was a total impulse buy The base seems really thick !

Edit : You found it before ! Yeah she really have some great new stuff, it even goes heady :

Wow, thanks for posting that, wish she had new stuff on a front page or somethin'. Here's another one:

sure wish she could post some esoteric info like, I dunno, height? Join size?

Very nice vid, thanks for posting!!

also about my favorite china piece... it's really hard to pick, but I would say at this point the 187 seems to be at the top of my go to, for size and function. I would suggest the D022 as a next pick, but it seems out of stock. Between all the smaller pieces, I think the 14mm kathy recycler is my current favorite, but I would say the D020-D would be next in line. I guess I favor that style bubbler for low drag and lots of stacking.

The super mini-rigs are cute and do function, but are a bit of a novelty for me, and I think I wanted them more for having a milestone in the glass movement, part of the glass evolution seeing them shrink down so tiny. Also I hope one of the last side effects of the death rattle of prohibition, we shouldn't have to be so sneaky... but I digress... back to glass goodness.

Great observations. Any interest in the Hitman double barrel? I'm tempted just by the great reviews. Let's hear it for the end of Prohibition II!

I actually just learned two days ago on reddit that cremation is vaporization!
How cool is that.

Well, they may know better than I, but putting human or animal remains in a chamber, exposing them to flame @ 1400 to 1800F and having them reduced to ash seems like combustion to me........

Here's @PhotoRider's collection. Daaaamn
http://www.amazing-scenery.com/habits/PhotoRider_Glass_Collection/index.htm

I've also bought from Btoc_jewelry twice. I'm in Canada and it would always get to me in less than two weeks via EMS, no complaints here. No need to wait for Kathy, in fact she's the one that's been getting the most complaints here isn't she? My knock-off toro single macro took two months to get here from order date.

My recent order was placed on Mon. (holiday there) and became trackable this morning, it's moved "from the despatch center", so no shenanigans as far as only printing the label. Most recent reports have suggested this type of speed - no complaints on my end. Let's not repeat info that may no longer be true.

Lets Keep this thought alive

I actually made the stickers myself. I own a vinyl printer

You (or one of our arty types) could do 2 or 3 "FC related" designs, charge a few bucks each, and come out ahead on the deal, I'm sure there would be abundant interest.

Big day,I just bought yingman5 rig #187 and the tornado .Whats to say other than man, this place is like crack...........yu cant stop!! 2 in a day for me is nuts along with a new vape. Im gonna be check'n in to glass rehab nxt week ....after I break the 2 rigs in.......................

The funny thing is, we (some of us) agonize over the decision, it's not even about the money, just picking the one right for us. It's funny how the non-believers just hate China glass, but it gives us "financially challenged" (or just careful) folks an opportunity to get 95% of the function of pieces costing 10X as much....why fight it?

 

[budha707]

Ahh I need this one too! Stop making so many awesome pieces China! I will have a glass museum at this rate

@budha707 do you know if it is 14mm or 18mm? Looks like 14mm...

idk man , but if the joint is 14mm , damn thats a small piece. hopefully 18mm

 

[jambandphan03]

Great observations. Any interest in the Hitman double barrel? I'm tempted just by the great reviews.

I like the look of it, but watching the vid, it seems a little chuggy to me, or maybe the water level just wasn't at it's peak performance level. I don't like a lot of drag, and a little concerned that the cyclone will take a bit of a pull to get started, but we'll see. Would like some info on size for the cyclone D20-Q. There isn't much info listed about the size of that one in the Aliex store

 

[olivianewtonjohn]

Also would like to know if the cyclone is straight neck or curved (we have seen two different versions)

@Mr. Gweilo 420

 

[budha707]

The D022 is my favorite piece.

The D020 is still the best value.

I know there is a lot of excitement around tornado action.
Believe me I'm guilty of all the hype.
We only want to diffuse the vapor anyway.
I will buy some tornado pieces however most of my ash catchers are filling this void.

Pretty fun anyway!

LINK?

havent gotten it yet . stiil waiting

the double barrel actually has no cyclone, but it does recycle. it doesnt chug but it does toss the watter around a little before going into the recycler

 

[Jahrastafari]

That's opposite of how I'm feeling. I want that cyclone piece, but I don't want another god damn bent neck.




I hope this isn't a kid

where can i buy

 

[Ano]

where can i buy

Here.


Also, first post in this thread but probably not my last, I have placed a few orders from a few different vendors at dhgate and aliexpress, and will probably make little reviews as they arrive.

Interesting, didn't know they upped their game. I just got my order 2 days ago, so I felt it was recent for me aha, but I know what you mean.

Yea, I was thinking of doing this, instead of taking custom orders like previously mentioned. I have too much on my plate right now to get committed to it though


Also, has anyone pointed this out yet?

Not really my thing, but this thing is just dope. I would buy it just for that mouthpiece really.

Ataxian probably has 457 different setups with this or something similar.

I'd love to see a dhgate version of the toro microverter but 18mm version XD

 

[GrilledGoat]

I think I'm about to pull the trigger on this http://thick-quality-glass.myshopif...ucts/9-inline-bubbler-slide-not-included-18mm

any thoughts?

While eagerly awaiting @Mr. Gweilo 420 pics and video, new product pics of the D20-Q from the product page :

And the actual tornado (taken from the video previously posted) :

 

[cybrguy]

I'm interested to know how much "suckage" <g> this piece takes but I don't now how to adequately describe it in an objective way. I suppose in comparison to something, but to what?

How much water it holds may help a little.

How much pull it takes for the perc to fire? I think comparing to the D020 would probably be a safe bet since thats probably the most popular

I just received the GB-187 replacement from Yingmin5, I'm very happy with it, although not flawless like a piece 10x its price, it is very nice nonetheless.
Thank you Yingmin.

if you dont mind me asking what exactly is wrong with that particular piece or what would have been more ideal or realistic compared to the advertising picture? not that im worried but based of most the replies I have read, I ordered mine a couple days ago as well.. Made a bit of an effort to try and sweet talk promising a great review if the piece I got was up to par with how it was advertised. I merely got a "dont worry my friend, order now i find a good one for u" I read a few spots on this forum that one of the issues was that the joint that holds the bowl, or the dwarr joint, whatever its called can be a bit lower then expected as far as suction. Hoping it all turns out okay tho, should post pictures on your free time.

Still havent seen any tracking info although it does say shipped, really excited and I would be lying if I said I wasnt expecting a superb quality piece for the price, I am real good at taking care of my things so I'd like to think I'll have this for many years to come. If it is as advertised and not like a big mac with the photoshop edit; ill definitely recommend and buy again.

Anyone know where the cheapest places to guy glass adapters are? Haha cheap bastards I know, some are on a way smaller budget then most so dont judge assholes ^^

 

[Mr. Gweilo 420]

Ok here is a video of the DO-Q. I have broken my no video rule by doing this. I hope it is helpful. Also, in regards to a few questions being asked it is taller than the DO-20 but much smaller than something like a GB-186. The glass is thick enough. It looks strong. It does not take much to get it going. There is a small delay while the tornado forms but it only requires a smooth pull similar to the other D0-20 series. Actually, the neck and can look the same as the Do-20-T

Some images;

think we see why you broke your rule, that pull is sweet

I think I just orderd pretty much everything in Mikes AliEx inventory except for the gold and silver foil.
Oh and that new HC...allready got one.

Yes, that's exactly right, the Dewar joint was recessed, but that was not the problem, the joint itself was oval due to (my guess) too much heat when doing the weld.
Pictures won't really show much, but I shot a video and sent it to Yingmin, on the video I was blowing into the mouthpiece while holding the bowl in the joint and dish soap around it, and you could see bubbles all around, every time I blew on it. It was a bad seal, and as far as I'm concerned I'm the only person who has received one with this particular problem, so I shouldn't be worried about it if I were you, my replacement was really well made and I can't believe the small amount of money I paid for such a great piece of glass.
