Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Yeah, I'm going though some goofy stuff with Sunshine and tracking as well. My order never left China according to tracking. They are claiming it's already at JFK sorting in NY. But the fact is it's been 20 days since my order, and it hasn't tracked since day 2. Even USPS tracking never shows it hitting the U.S.

So I dunno what the heck is up. Thankfully I'm only talking about a $35. order. But it's definitely a bit annoying when you can't get accurate info, or verify where the package is at.

Hopefully your box just shows up. At least that's what I'm hoping for. Heh.

They fixed it and now it shows being in LA for the past few days. I managed to destroy my DO20 by getting my Ed's wong stuck in it so I'm looking forward to another water device. I have to throw out both the wong and the DO20.

Wow, how did that happen?? Worst thing I would have done is broken the bubbler around the joint and then used a hammer and paper to stuff the ends of the wong and broken the joint around it.

I feel like an old man always saying this lol but this is why I have a lot of adapters! 18mm extenders, 18 to 14s, 14s to 18s, an adapter for my nails, etc. There's an adapter for every situation and in case anything does get stuck, it's stuck on an adapter. That plus joint grease helps. Sorry to hear about the situation :(
 
A couple of pieces I received recently. On the left is the dabbachino rig from stevenlmz79. The order was a nightmare and imo the piece is nothing much. Just a novelty piece.
I do like the nail on top of it though which I just received from Sunshine Store. On the right is an old classic, the DO20-d from Sunshine Store. I should have picked one up a long time ago. I love it and can't find any imperfections.

I pushed the wong in so I far can't get it out. It's totally stuck. And my joints are greaseless. Next time I use BAB first so it will slide out.

Yay the D020-D came today!!!... my first DHGate piece. Not perfect by any means, e.g bubbling in the pic below, and the dewar joint although airtight, seems a bit uneven/unstable (gong wobbles a bit in it.. and for some reason gets stuck easier than it should as well). Anyone else have these issues? Not gonna complain too much though, bargain price and at least it showed up right? :)


Ordering experience was great though, sort-of-tracked shipping was a bit under 2 weeks, acceptable; and packaging was fantastic! No way anything would break under all that bubblewrap lol


Here it is next to my Black Leaf double HC... Hmm I have this urge already to order some more glass, adapters etc. Not just for function but so pretty to look at! Is this what they call GAS?? Hehe.


Did a quick water test, seems to fire decently, love how it sounds, and hardly any water in my mouth even ripping it hard. Mouthpiece seems a bit on the small and fragile side though.

But overall, very happy with my first order from DHGate, good work sunshinestore. Made even better because it my Valentine's gift from the gf. She got Sex and the City seasons 1-6 on DVD so we're all happy

Even curious little Biscuit approves :)


Can't wait to try it with the solo tonight :D I have a feeling it'll replace the Black Leaf as my daily.

Also any suggestions for my next purchase? Maybe something similar but with a slightly larger thicker mouthpiece

Don't do it.
There are a variety of techniques that will work.
One method:
Try screwing an ice cold frozen drill bit or large bolt/screw into the wong... and let it sit for a few seconds....
Fill the waterpipe with very hot water and wrap a very hot washcloth around the top.
Hold the frozen drill bit/screw firmly and jiggle lightly and lift.


Lubricants can save the day also.

How about if I send it to you with the other stuff I'm preparing. Maybe someone can use the DO20 after it's reclaimed. My hands shake too much to try what you suggest.

try heating it with a hair drier, I got one of ed's wongs stuck in glass before, panicked for a bit, tore up the wong, then realized it was resin holding it in place, used a hair drier and it came out. Felt stupid for tearing up the wood with pliers trying to twist it with out breaking the glass... hope that helps. I stopped using wood wongs after that happened, the wood grain absorbed the oil residue from my vapor, and glued itself to the glass...

D-Cycler has landed.

Vids and pics will have to wait until I have a second set of hands.
That piece is awesome, besides the really thin mouthpiece flare, I absolutely love this piece! Polished up slits in the perc, return tube goes all way through bottom of the perc, Texas sized cyclone, slow drain, decent thickness except for mp flare. My nano, hammer and LSV work fantastic with this beauty. A good size for a dual use piece (flower and oil). This piece is now being offered for under $45, I would still be happy with this piece if it cost me $150 from China! Yup, I just said that... It is definetly giving my GB-187 a run for the title in my "fine" China collection! I will understand if your media takes a bit and if your stash takes a hit bc this piece is just so darn fun.

No ceramic accessories with mine so be ready for that.

CCG has two listings for the D-Cycler. One with Ceramic Nail and one with a glass slide. I picked the Ceramic Nail specifically for the added bonus. Lord knows we don't need slides.

If it comes without...my heart won't be broken. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm not going to say this is in any way safe and I probably got the 1/1000 chance of it working; but, I took a hammer after trying all of the aforementioned tips (hot strats, cold strats, mixed, you name it) and made one of my own strategies I would not recommend unless you've tried all your options. Got the hammer, laid my (msrp~$700) piece next to a metal bench chair, and just kept hitting the slide with the hammer kinda gently while resting the slide on the hard metal surface of the chair- this worked immaculately surprisingly and there was no damage to my gong or my Toro- the slide just slid out(there I said it, getting a hammer and going outside with a toro in hand is fucking nerve racking) which just left me in awe and seriously debating maybe a church visit haha. That child is still with me today and to keep on the topic of cheap bubblers, it rivals my fc710 for attention; right now I find myself using the 710 more, although I really gotta get around to cleaning my toro to get the same flavor.

Edit: just thinking back, oh the wooden spoon tapping I did before I tried it after trying hot/cold methods, the tapping must have gone on for at least 3 hours of tapping the piece day after day until I just ran out of time and had to pack/move

Interesting. I've seen those Percs on diamond glass pieces. I wonder if they are the "mothership" he has referred to?

I have seen those percs popping up on "recently listed" pieces from some different sellers.
