Zob Bubbler w/ Showercap downstem

My new primary piece. This has to be, in my opinion, the best bubbler a person can make. The thought that it is so simple and hits so clean just makes me love the thing. I replaced the bowl with a little bit nicer one to match the label colors and the total came out to around $300. Yes yes, that is a hefty price for a bubbler, but if you have the cash its a great piece to have. As for me, I got this as a birthday present from an ex-gf

300 is a little steep, but not too steep for that thing.

Looks awesome man, I own a ZOB as well and I love it.

Stay baaaaaaaked!

Very nice but i prefer the showerhead bubblers with a smaller bore like toro and Itza circ bubs. i had a syn showerhead like this but my ITZA blows it out of the water.

Itza sucks zob rules. Nice zob. Don't mind all the haters who try to one up in a backhanded way.

ummmm itza does not suck.
and im pretty sure no one has hated.

@OP: showerhead, not showercap sweet bubbler though, i like the bong style mouthpiece, much more comfortable for me than those small ones like what smoky prefers. good place for the beeline too as you figured out

tell me how does ITZA suck. because they are better quality then ZOB. Zobs are great but not that great.

you can get the Toro circ with a bong mouthpiece and Itza does customs also. i just perfer the smaller bore on the main chamber for bubble stackage. but i do miss my SYN bub like this one it was great but he died in a terrible accident.

Now kids. This thread isnt about you and your opinion of itza, This is about OP's bubbler.

Try not to make comments that have no relevance.

If you really care. Why not just PM each other.

This is about his Zob bubbler, not your argument about brands.

Love how you hang your rope OP. very smart idea. +rep to you

Awesome piece, similar to what my dream bubbler/piece is...but I can't believe your EX spent $300 on you lol. Must have one hell of a penis OP.

How do u like that mouth piece??

The piece itself looks like it would hit like a dream...no drag, good perc, etc...

But I like smaller mouthpieces...

Do u have to put yer lips inside the mouthpiece or is it small enough to wrap around...?

showerhead bubs are some of the best routes to take IMHO. i've got a dubbler 8 slit each showerhead bubbler with the slits on the very bottom of the stem. it's pretty nice, but then i picked up a very similar single chamber bub with a gridded showerhead (holes on side) and that thing stacks bubbles for days

i request a bubble show/ milk vid from you ASAP. also, in the vid, show off varying levels of water.

oh yeah, weird little tip regarding water levels that has been working for me lately. i blow the water back out the mouthpiece when filling it up, JUST enough so that when air starts to be pushed into the downstem back that way, it won't reach the tip-top anymore, but below. this is like THE PERFECT water level for all the pieces i've done this to so far. all my phire pieces (bong, 2 bubs, 2 ACs), my black leaf nautilus and inline AC with it, all my other ACs, my buddy's bongs (tried it on 3/4 of his). i'll post a vid soon. now i understand this may not be perfect for EVERY piece as some could have stupid tall downstems but airways that lead to your mouth lower than that, and the volume could be all F'd up, but it works for me. no splash back, perfect drag on each, and smooth as fuck still with nice bubbles

gimme your dubbler if you like your gridded one so much
which i cant blame you for liking it more, gridded stuff wins so fucking hard.

and yes, milks please OP

nice bubbler bro havent seend one with a shower head yet until this one.

Your ex-gf, or whoever bought that, paid about $100 too much for it, possibly more if you know how to haggle.

The past is the past though, chief up, that's for sure a smooth hitter.

I have no fucking idea how to haggle. Is there a thread that gives tips on shopping at LHS's lol

My dude is cool and always gives me at least 10% off. but thats without me asking.

Any ideas or threads I could go to?

walk look around pick out something you like and ask the price they will say what ever they say then just say i only have this much. in my experience this works almost 100% of the time

yeah, auctioning/bargaining forums

Haggling isnt for everyone...

Its a skill that u have to practice to get good at. I have been in sales for over a decade and I still learn new ways of bargaining on a regular basis.


Basically just stick to your guns as long as u can, and see how far u can push the person to lower their price...in the end they are gonna make money off u either way. Haggling with someone just makes it so they dont make SOO much money off u.


No matter what, asking them for a cheaper price wont hurt anything...the worst thing they can say is NO.

I'll give you an abridged version of some good pointers.

1. Set a price that you will go NO higher than. If this price isn't at least met, let alone beat, be prepared to walk away instantly. I generally will settle for anywhere from 20%-30% off depending how rare the glass is. If im buying a straight shot thats locally blown I wont settle for at LEAST 30% off sticker price in my LHS. On the other hand, if you're attempting to pick up an SG Pillar, you might need to settle for only 20% off or less, as they are fairly rare.

2. Always ask what the piece is listed at, LISTED AT, first. If they say "Oh we'll do this much for you" then ask again, whats the STICKER price? Additionally, always let the LHS offer their price first, they may surprise you with a scorching hot deal.

Beyond those two rules its all instincts. You should have a good eye for glass appraisal, and should be on the lookout for minor imperfections ect. as these can significantly lower the price. Oh and the whole, "I've only got ect ect" works sometimes, I like to say "My budget is (whatever amount)" and go from there, don't be afraid to ask to see stuff outside your price range.

Long story short, the most important thing I've learned about haggling, from my mom non the less, is that if you're not happy then walk away. There will always be something to tickle your fancy, you don't need to be rushed to purchase anything.

How do u like that mouth piece??

The mouthpiece really isn't bong-styled(dont remember who said so), considering that the hole on the end is about the size of a nice-sized joint. Its perfect to just perch your lips and press against, rather than looking homosexual putting your lips around it.

As for the milk shots, I will get around to those soon. Bout to spark up a bowl now as a matter of fact. please dont bitch about quality.

Sounds good... lets see some vids.
