All right. So, I ordered this
bubbler, right? It’s a beautiful hydratube bubbler by TAG, unlike any other I’ve ever seen, made exclusively for newvape’s tsunami vaporizer. I feel it will sit atop my MiniVAP quite nicely, and go completely with the aesthetic cylinder of the vape, adding a near unbroken cylinder of epictude. Imagine, if you will, particularly those who have either the SonG from
@Delta3DStudios, or the delrin material variant (from a vendor I’m unable to find), adding to the minimizing gap between MiniVAP and glass. Alas, it was not meant to be this time. As they were pulling the last piece off of the inventory shelves (*my piece) it fell and was irreparably damaged by shattering on the concrete floor. They wrote me this outstandingly contrite apology email and refunded the full purchase price immediately.
Now. I was planning on filling that beautiful piece of glass with some
4mm borosilicate glass beads, laboratory grade, & made to withstand temperatures up to 400-500°C (or 752-933°F, for those of us keeping count). I was inspired recently by discovering these
Vapor Tamers over on Elev8 and wanted to see how a rig like that would perform, but in a bubbler as a cooling unit, but Elev8 don’t offer you the opportunity to purchase those lovely colored glass beads just on their own, only available with their glass device. You can get some 3mm beads over at VGoodies though.
So, I already have this
hydratube from Huni Badger that I’ve been using since my Arizer Air & Solo II days. It’s not as spacious on the water chamber, but it’s always performed nicely, and I especially liked it because it holds more water than the hydratubes over on Sneaky Pete. My MiniVAP is over 16 inches in height with the MV glass WPA and that bubbler on top. The glass beads arrived from Amazon today, and with the news that I wouldn’t be receiving my TAG bubbler (devastating, I know), I decided to load my Huni Bottle with them and toss it straight in the freezer.
If you like chilled vapor, like you put ice cubes in your bong kind of guy (or gal, who am I to discriminate?), then you really need to try the combination of these frozen glass beads in a bubbler, hydratube, bong, whatever. I ripped a fresh bowl on blurple just now (well...a while ago now, since I’ve been typing this novel). The vapor was the temperature of a crisp winter morning (I live in Utah, so our metric we’ll be using today, folks, is somewhere between 5-15°F). And I created serious bellowing clouds from my draws (on Blurple!). Holy fucking shit! It was hands down the most pleasant experience I’ve ever had, and reaffirms the correct choice of vape by which to savor a connoisseur experience like this. I fucking love discovering new experiences that take my game to the next level, and this took me beyond the clouds and into the stars. Flavors sampled in today’s tasting are Chemodo Dragon (27%) and a sandwiched dab of Bruce Banner (87%).
Happy vaping, sirs. There is no tl;dr, sorry chums.
