Cheap High Quality Bubbler

OK, so I've read page after page about cheap bubblers and there are too many choices.
I have a miniVAP (MV), only vape buds, and want to try a bubbler.
I just want to cool / humidify? the vapor slightly.
I want to keep all the original taste that's possible and all the THC that's possible.

I'm going to buy the MFLB water whip (14 mm) to connect piece to my miniVAP.
So, probably no need to invert MV/ have it sit in the piece.
What piece will work best for me, D020 or one of the other models?
What vendor is best for ordering?

I'm guessing a piece with minimal size and minimal diffusers/percs/ etc is best.
Thanks for suggestions, anxious to try !!

I finally settled on the BTOC double barrel. I ordered a 14mm female to 18mm female so i can use the enano with its adjust a bowl gong. Does anyone else have experience with this type of setup yet? Am i doing it wrong? Also i ordered the adapter on ioffer and it says await further payment instructions. Ive never gone throug ioffer before is it just up to the seller to send me an email through the site with a paypal address or something? Thanks for everyones help hopefully i will have my new (and first ever :D) recycler in a week!

Yes the payment system on iOffer is a bit weird with some sellers. Others it s a breeze. The good thing is that you can usually make an offer for less than the "Buy Now" price. Example: https://www.ioffer.com/i/569102963. This Quave Banger KO shows $25.99. My offer for that item was $21.00. It took a couple of days but it was accepted. I also bought 10 Keck clips. Total offer including shipping was $35. Shipping was very fast. I have used 3 different sellers on iOffer: Oregonglassblower , GreenBuddahShop, and BakeBros. All were smooth transactions and great items.

If you intend to use tubing, than there is really nothing that limits you in terms of size and shape. We are having the most success with Sunshine store still, though Yingmin5 is widely liked and Kathy Hu, who had a bad couple months, seems to be recovering in quality and shipping.
I would suggest anything in the D line. Make your choice on what features you like, like mouthpiece or can size or kind of diffusion. The 3 most popular pieces are likely the d020, the D020-W (with the sidecar), and the GB-187 from Yingmin5.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of those, and the good news is, at these prices if you don't like your choice you can always try another. And keep in mind, if you were a combuster, that these pieces are smaller in size than what you might be used to for combusting. It just isn't necessary to have as much filtering or cooling when vaping. And most feel that too much diffusion reduces taste.

Edit: Just wanted to add that most of these pieces connect with an 18mm joint, so you may need a reducer for that MFLB whip.

Have you considered a female gong in the correct size? You could eliminate the need for an adapter and female gong is so easy to pull off for clearing

Im willing to try it but I dont know of a female gong that is made to work with the e-nano. Do you have any links you could share?

Does anyone that has a GB-186, the yingmin stereo matrix, know if there is enough space around the 18mm female joint to fit an evo? Im looking for more volume and diffusion for my incoming vape.

Agreed. As a glassblower, I still realize the need for lower end glass, and an affordable 19mm hydratube is definitely something the market is hurting for. Give Kathy a month and maybe we'll see one. The presence of the 14mm hydratube means they have a factory with knowledgeable workers, and there's zero reason why the couldn't do the same thing in a 19mm setup. Some American or European glassworker probably got paid in lobster and hookers to divulge all these techniques, but that's another story.

That being said, I hardly use my Hydratubes and much prefer a tabletop bubbler. :2c:

Seperate question for you guys, from someone who hasn't looked at this thread in about 1/4 of a year: how many points of diffusion does the D020-D offer? It's hard to tell from the photographs.

Lobster and hookers? Sounds like a weekend to me

First time poster, long time lurker. Thanks so much for the wealth of knowledge and the simply awesome vids.

Just thought I'd throw this in the mix. My LHS has lots of DHgate pieces. Last night I stopped by to find knockoff Hamm Exo-diffys for 89.99. That is typically what they charge for dhgate's 20.00-30.00 pieces.
Keep your eyes peeled!

I feel you on that, I used to buy on impulse every now and then, most likely wont anymore again which is sad for the fair ones. Challenge anyone jokingly making fun of your piece if they can find more then 5 things not made in china in their house, then enjoy the last laugh

I just sold my D020 to a friend (he has the solo). D020 works great with the solo but I have been using my cloud more and want something that pairs well with the cloud.

Any recommendations? Lots of options in here

I have the 186 but no evo. There is 7/8" between the can and inside of the Gong. With an ash catcher in the 186, I measure 1" between the can and the stem of the AC.

Edit: I'm sure that may vary from piece to piece given the QC of these import pieces.

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 ^^

You could take a break off the internet if you feel that butt hurt buddy, I wasn't directing it at not one person on this forum, merely having conversation the way I know how. Like I said, if you feel so inclined to state your crappy opinion my direction; when I've done nothing but have intellectual conversation here , you could throw your computer off your roof and pick up a book where you could rip out the pages you see fit. Unless someone is actually breaking the rules or you have a child on here, kick rocks square

Edit; also if that rattles your bones that much you feel the need to ban me, know I wont lose one bit of sleep, just goes to show how over controlling you are and how you feel the need to try to put yourself in some sort of superior position where you dictate how someone communicates. This is the internet, and for most the biggest tool of free communication. censor yourself or go get knocked up if you feel the need to control someone so much, its quite sad for people who want an open place for discussion without people trolling while in a shit mood, or taking something comletely out of context. Take a look in the mirror, you are whats wrong with society

mod note: Our rule is "Be nice." We do not allow flaming. Warning point issued.

I have to say that I am loving this little J Hook. It is so versatile. It is great with my HC/AC and with my Persei and KISS Whip. I especially have been loving it with the K/O Quave Club Banger. It hits like a champ and the flavor is still great. With the right amount of water it is a nice compact natural perc. Maybe a new travel piece?!!?
