    so my bf had this gorgeous, perfect illadelph bubbler. think i mentioned it on here a while back. but. here's the deal.
    his mom threw it out.
    he found out that it was in the trash... an hour after the trash was picked up.
    it's gone.


    so i am trying desperately to find him another. i know it's a rare one, but it's damn near impossible, especially because i honestly don't know where to look. i'm trying, but i could reeeeeally use the help.

    this is what the bubbs looks like:

    i didn't end up finding a website for that store, and seeing as i'm in atlanta it'd be hard to visit. but thanks for your help :)

    Illapdelph is based in philly. If you took a drive there, they would definitely have one for you. Expect to pay some where in the $200-$300 dollar range. Their expensive peices, but high quality

    OH DAMN! His mom threw something like that away? That sucks so much. It happens to allot of people though. When I was younger my mom threw away a really nice, (and expensive) pipe. I forget the term, but it had two layers, sort of like a pipe inside a pipe. You can always look on the internet, theres a few legitimate online head shops, although they overprice. You can also check your local headshop. Allot of times, people who think there aren't many around them, just don't know where to look. If theres any big flea markets near you, then there will likely be at least one headshop there. And generally small headshops like that will be owned by one or two glass blowers who make all their stuff and therefore don't have to charge allot (as long as their not ass holes).

    yeah, it really sucks.. that thing was perfect.
    i've searched (hours and hours) online, and honestly the best i've been able to do is find people who post pictures of the same one on other forums and send them messages asking if they're willing to sell... so far, most of them (out of only a few i've found, really) have broken theirs or had them stolen. ughhh.
    i've been to all the shops i know of in the area (and even not in the area) and had no such luck. i actually even emailed illadelph trying to get someone to talk to me about maybe having a custom of the same thing made (that's how bad i want to get him another!) and they haven't replied.

    for his birthday though (the 23rd) i took him to the best shop in atlanta and bought him a heady dry piece, it's gorrrrrgeous (not a gorgeous price, but it was reasonable for how nice a piece it is). but alas, it's still not the bubbs.
