Cheap High Quality Bubbler

hey guys, I'm in need of advice. In the 20+ years of smoking weed I have only ever used a bong once in my life. But since the beginning of this year when I changed to vaping I have started looking into getting a bubbler.

My problem is I have no idea what I am looking for. I would like one that I could connect to an Arizer Extreme Q and something I could use when I have some ISO hash oil. What should I be looking at?
You'll need to find what works for you!

If you get GAS like I have try all kines!

I didn't start CANNABIS until 1970.

I never liked a BONG because of the largemouth piece.

The water pipes and bubblers I love because of the smaller mouthpieces.

I'm the wrong person to advise you due to my particular likes.

Some hate what I use and some like?

It's really a matter of individual preference!

Thats all well and good ... but I have no idea what my preference is. I don't know what I need when I want something just for oils and vaping. I would prefer smallish .... but what am I looking for. I go to dhgate and see lots

Start small (cheap) and work your way up lol
A popular and cheap first bubbler is a D020 or one of the variants.
D020 from Sunshinestore on DHGate

I bought a D020-D for my first purchase:

OK!

This is my option only!

D020 to start off with dhgate.com (sunshine store) good all around unit.

D022 I use with a Desktop

FC UFO i put my BENDER mouthpiece from DELTA 9.

I have so many I just rotate from time to time.

Jhooks (sherlocks) with a ASH Collector is nice for customizing!

I need some hands on advice from the GAS community. What are the difference between the d020-d and the fc-187 v2? When I look at the percolator, it seems like the fc-187 has two horizontal layers of glass compared to the d020-d.

I already have the d020-d, but Im looking for more diffusion without drag. I will get the gb-194-1, but I need a logical reasonning to buy fc-187 v2 :) Any input will be appreciated:wave:

There are two versions of the D020-D. The version with only one horizontal band existed about 14 months ago. Then Sunshinestore updated the D020-D perc to use the same style found in the FC-187v2

Honestly I don't think you'll really notice a difference in diffusion between your older style D020-D and the FC-187v2.

The Rattle Can batch was nearly finished when the holdup began, so it should be one of the first pieces to go up when things start moving again. I'm glad others are as excited for it as I am. There will be 50 pieces in the first batch, hopefully that's enough for everyone!

Thats the old one I have; its been over a year I had bought it. Im not complaining, im happy about it. But your answer is an argument for me to buy it, a difference is a difference :science: I have to try the fc 187v2 just in the name of gas.

Thanks for the update! I think I bought something like 20 pieces off of DHGate and the FC-710 is still my most used piece of them all so I'm looking forward to owning it in a different style.

Well at LEAST consider the GB-187-S which in my opinion is far superior to the FC-187 (they are very similar, but different vendors/manufacturers).... For GAS reasons, natch :science:

Tx for the tip. I will see if steven can cancel it; I already pulled the trigger on the fc-187v2, and the GB-194-1. Since I didnt receive a tracking number yet, that should go through well.

The FC187 I Have and it works for me.
Maybe @rachett has a point?
I like my FC 187, 186, UFO.
However I use a small mouthpiece on everything.

I have every D series piece I use for portables.

The only piece I'm missing is the D020-D,
I have over 30 pieces or I would get one.

If it's too late to stop your order don't worry it works!

are there any reviews/reports/videos out on stevenmlz's hydratube from any of the users on this forum?

I ordered within hours of it being up on 10/31 and I received my tracking notice on 11/9. I'm hoping I get it by Thanksgiving. I haven't seen anyone post about receiving theirs yet, but when I do, I'll post some pics.

Glassartist really is putting efforts into his stuff, it looks so nice but the price is incredible. I guess because of its size...

OK, I am about to pull the trigger on a new Chinese bong for a new log vape and smoking occasionally.

Right now I have a barrel shaped swiss perc bong I bought from Ioffer a while back. It's been my oil rig for my enail for a while now and works great. Eventually I would like to replace this with a new oil rig from DH gate as well.
https://www.ioffer.com/i/1x-honeycom-recycler-oil-rogs-glass-water-pipe-no-bong-599698764

Which would you guys go with between these, or do you have a different "Must have" DH Gate favorite for vaping and smoking flower?
FC-187 v2
Fc 710
Fc-mod

Also, Which model do you guys prefer for your oil rig?

Many will disagree with my assessment however I like the FC UFO due to the fact I can use my favorite mouthpiece the BENDER from W9 Tech.

However you can't go wrong with any you have listed.

I use D type bubblers for portables.
FC, GB and large volume cans I prefer for a desk top.

Good luck in your search!

What do you like better about it? The perc?

To be fair, I had the FC-187v1, however in my opinion, Yingmin5's quality on the GB-187 (and GB-187-S) seems to be better than the FC-187.

I like my GB-187-S more than my FC-187v1 simply because it's a much better build quality - welds look good, everything straight, and the perc fires equally around the entire circumference. Unlike my FC-187 which seemed to favor only several slits out of the entire perc.

The FC-187v2 is thicker glass, but aside from that, the GB-187-S performs better and looks better.

Just my :2c:

(Personally, StevenLMZ79 low quality was the final straw. I'm really done with most Chinese glass - fun to play with and experiment, but time to move on to real quality glass made by artists, not factories).

Well, that's kinda not fair because the FC-187 v.2 is a much better piece. My v.1 is pretty sucky with a bad perc that is WAY high in the can. I had shelved it before getting the Zion as nothing I had had enough airflow to get a decent hit with it. The Zion does so I can use it, but only with the Zion.
My V.1 was a replacement for one that came broken so I didn't have the heart to demand another, but I should have. I considered getting a v.2 and just paying for it, but after getting the UFO I don't really need it. I'll get something else next time. Probably the FC-Mod. I agree that Steven's quality is hit and miss but I want to support him for his willingness to make changes for us...

I honestly don't think I can afford most American glass. If there was no China glass I would have a lot less glass. I DO give business to OGB, however, and hope to get a JoDa piece some time soon. But otherwise it is pretty much China or nothing.
