I have a question for those of you who have the Glass mouthpiece and/or the Fury bubbler . The fit of the glass MP and the bubbler are both nice, and fit decently snug when the fury isn't on, but when it heats up, I find that it becomes loose, to the point where they can start moving around when using it, I'm just wondering if this is the case for most people or if its just me?
Also I just got both in recently and am doing testing, these are my first impressions, feel free to skip the wall of text at the bottom should you not have the time or not want to.
Heres a TL;DR of my first impressions.
Bubbler - Its nice. good for sippy sessions through water, no splashback, more portability than WPA + Bong, Cool but less tasty vapor than dry, wiggles and moves a bit if unit is on (might just be my unit), more testing to come.
Glass MP - Would buy again if it broke. vapor comes out tastier and smoother/cooler than stock MP for me, simple and easy to clean design (stem milk!), wiggles and moves a bit if unit is on (might just be my unit), versatile in usage, more testing to come.
Here are my notes
Bubbler
Aesthetically nice imo, bowl size looks to be about the same as the glass mouthpiece. Both glass MP and the bubbler bowl are slightly larger than the wpa bowl, but not by much.
Slightly awkward to load if theres water in it, even with the technique in the video, this is not a huge complaint tbh, it may take a tiny bit longer to load and its just not as braindead as the WPA or Glass MP. I've had some success with the straw method of sucking the herbs into the chamber, but I notice you get small particulates through the holes in the bubbler chamber if you pull hard and its hard to get them out without having to take the water out and just clean the bubbler, especially since you can't just blow them back out with water in there. Its easier to load this way, but I imagine i'll have to clean the bubbler a lot more.
The function is nice, very hard to get splashback with the right water level. The air flow is slightly restrictive when compared to the other mouthpieces , but not at all hard to pull, I like the chug the bubbler provides. might just be me but it seems a harder to get clouds like I can thru the Glass MP or WPA, totally could be user error on my end.
Getting water in there is kind of finnicky. I can just fill it over a sink or something, but it is hard to fill it without getting some water spillage on the sides because the opening of the mouthpiece is real small. Kind of a non-issue, but something to note. Also it doesn't take much water to get it at the right level anyway.
For performance, the bubbler does a good job of cooling the vapor and making it extremely easy on the throat, really feels like i'm hitting through a water piece, albeit more directly and without as much of a "milking" aspect. you can clear the bubbler by just lifting it out which is nice. The vapor may not be as flavorful, but you can take much larger rips as well as make use of much higher temps without any throat irritation like you would get with a shorter airpath and no water.
All in all, I like the bubbler, I can see it becoming really handy when I want to use the fury through water, but am on the road and don't want to carry around a small bong all the time, it can also make high temp sessions much less rough on the throat, allowing you to take advantage of higher temps without sacrificing feel of the vapor. For longer, drawn out sipping sessions that I want some water filtration, this will definitely be my go to. I'll whip out the WPA when I want to get full extraction or a microdose in one or two hits. I like the overall design and look, and the little black accents are nice imo. Maybe the mouthpiece could be a tiny bit more open, to allow easier filling of water, especially on the go or in your car or something, Its hard to complain though it feels nice on the lips. Haven't had to clean it yet so no experience there. If anyone has tips on how to use it please let me know
Glass mouthpiece
The design is super clean, not super fond of how it looks sticking out of the fury, but simple glass that does its job always gets high ratings for me, and honestly its not that bad, just not super pleasing to look at. Simple cleaning here, which is nice, glass MP is perfect for stem milk.
Flavor from the glass mouthpiece has been the best of the options for me. Flavor and vapor seem comparable to using the wpa dry, but better because the vapor feels cooler. I assume this is because the glass MP is bent, not a direct flow, and a longer airpath. The irritation on the throat is far less noticeable with this mouthpiece, and since its smoother, I'm able to pull larger rips, which might be a reason i'm getting a nice taste off of it (besides the fact that its all glass)
It moves around when the unit is on. Honestly might just be my fury, no clue, and I have similar problems with the bubbler. Just trying to think of a way I could macgyver a thing to keep it solidly in place. if you have one lmk. I thought maybe a thin layer of screen around the end of glass attachment that goes into the fury? definitely not a deal breaker, I will use the shit out of it and would buy again if it broke, just kind of annoying.
Since it is an attachment, the bowl will be slightly smaller. I actually kind of like this because its now the perfect size where I'm able to cash most of the bowl in just one session as opposed to two, increasing temps up from 350-410 as it goes. Bowl is slightly larger than WPA, and same as bubbler, I dont have a XL WPA to compare, I want to go purchase one eventually.
Rather than just sipping the glass MP during a session like the traditional snap on MP, I've been enjoying just taking out the Glass MP in between pulls and doing long, slow, giant rips. Similar to how I use it through a water pipe and the WPA, just dry. I just cruise my fury at a decently high temp 390~ and get maybe 3-6 huge rips followed by some whispies during the timer. I just hold the MP kind of upside down like a pipe and use the fury upside down like I would on the WPA.
Glass MP is very versatile, may not be the best for sharing because of the decrease in bowl size, but honestly performance is great, and I can see myself buying a few more for load and go if they ever have a sale or coupon or something. Would be cool to see HR look at making more attachments like this, that provide smooth vapor through things like longer and different airpaths. Vapor from the glass MP has been great, and I'm able to pull decent sized clouds when I want to. Again, if theres any tips let me know!
I still have a lot of extensive testing to do, I blew through so much green today testing these and I've been enjoying it, always nice to get in new toys for your vape.
Also I should mention that shipping was super fast to Hawaii, ordered on the 5th midday and got it before the weekend, HR got my order shipped out fast, so props to them and thanks. Sorry for rambling on, I dont know where the energy to write all this out came from tbh.
