So just out of curiosity, I bought a $20 or so little bubbler. I got it and it took me a full ten minutes before I realized the thing was uncleanable (one piece), and that it just has a little sphere on the top with a hole in its North Pole area where, apparently, you stick a doobie.

BZZZZT! What a waste of smoke!! You gotta stick a doobie in the top hole to draw the smoke through a tablespoon of water. I will never waste weed like that.

It looks like an analogue of this -- with these differences: It does NOT come apart. There are NO rubber stoppers like in this pic. It is ONE little piece (palm of hand) unlike the example shown which comprises three pieces.

Just squoosh in the wide bottom to a cylinder a thumb-width same as the upper area.

The bottom (water reservoir) is tiny, not like the Ehrlenmeyer flask style bottom shown. Clever glass blowing, I guess, but it reduced the thing to uselessness.

I decided to see the thing function (without wasting precious grass), so I held the angled mouth pipe under a faucet. HAH! Dumped out 90%. Found I could not draw the gentlest bit without getting a mouthful of water.

Kept on lowering the amount of water until I got to a tablespoon or so. Then, if I drew carefully on the angled pipe, it worked. It bubbled. Meh.

So I dumped the water out. No I didn't -- no matter how I jiggled, shook and tapped, some water stayed trapped in the thing. Jeez.

That may be for smoking crack or meth

hang in there Brother!…..consider this R & D ……keep looking at different cannabis delivery devices and you will eventually find something you like , in addition to the Volcano that you already use

have you tried any Vape Pens?

another toy is the PAX pipe

me personally , after trying about every device under the sun , yes we smoked hash in an empty toilet paper roll with a little pice of aluminum foil , but I always come back to rolling joints

everyone is different , thank Jah , and we just get in where we fit in

Long day. Normal walk and took the boat out for the first time. Talk about the crew with no clue. Boat didn't sink and I am alive so it was a good day.

Aye cap'n! Fast learners were you now?

That bowl is for concentrates or meth. I've never used meth to know if they ever use a bubbler, but the pipes I have seen didn't.

The one pictured is cleaned by removing the grommets and either boiling out or cleaning with a pipe cleaner or with alcohol. Without grommets it couldn't be cleaned effectively.

The bowl is heated with a torch, so it may be quartz in the one pictured, with the balance borosilicate, but if it is one piece, the whole thing would have to be quartz because the two don't weld together.

If it is a concentrates dab pipe, it won't provide a full flavor experience with that narrow mouthpiece. It should be wider to slow the flow and spread it over more of the taste buds in the tongue.
 
40F @ 83% RH, partially cloudy with 6 mph wind, and predicted to reach 51F.

Lots of rain yesterday with gusty winds to 42mph.

What an exercise replacing a couple dead or dying trees, one of which is in the parking strip. Not only did I have to wade through the city websites filling out the permit request but had to submit a drawing showing all existing trees and the removal and replacement plans, and pictures of the trees with tape measures to prove what I wrote down.

In addition, because one of them is in the parking strip, they will send out and inspector to verify what I put down as well, before the permit is approved. If it is approved, there will be an inspection afterwards as well and fines up to a $1000 per day per tree for noncompliance. A city that can't enforce the laws against property and violent crime, but can heavy handedly dictate and fine it's law abiding property owners over landscape minutia. I am replacing a dead Dogwood and a dying European weeping Birch with Dogwoods.

I failed to mention it to the city to avoid further red tape and complications, but there is a bee colony in one of the Birch's hollows, which I have arranged with a bee rescue organization to relocate that portion of the trunk and set it up as a hive. I am trying to get it completed while the bees are still dormant, to make it less stressful for them.
