Wanted to write the definitive guide to Divine Tribe bubbler options. If anyone has more information to add then just let me know and I can expand the list.
Large Bubblers
A good full size option is the HydraTube. The HydraTube is a great piece to have in any bubbler collection. The HydraTube comes in 14mm for $39 and 18mm for $58. You will need an 18mm to 14mm Reducer to use the 18mm HydraTube if using the INH $8 14mm Glass Tip. INH also sells an $8 18mm Glass Tip that can be used directly with the HydraTube sans reducer/adapter.
I have heard the 18mm HydraTube from INH is thicker, heavier, and larger than the 14mm version but I can't say its DEFINITELY true.
The HydraTube, and its DHGate cousins are probably the largest bubblers on this list.
Some other options for "HydraTube" clones would be the $59 VapeXhale Hydratube 9.8" or this $52.80 VapeXhale Hydratube 7".

Regular Bubblers
First we will start with the OG V4 bubbler which is the [$27 Hubble Bubble](https://ineedhemp.com/product/hubble-bubble-14mm-glass-hy

BLF thread with nice video: https://budgetlightforum.com/node/46443
The videos do a better job explaining it than i ever could in text. And i'm far too impatient to set up a recording, but luckily others aren't.
Buy the basic tools you'll need:
$19 Amazon soldering kit: this comes with just about everything you need to get started: basic soldering iron with temp control, a stand, wire cutter, desoldering pump, tweezers, solder paste, wire, and some other misc stuff.
$13 Amazon soldering plate: you plop your mcpcb on this thing, and then use the tweezers to pluck off the LED once the solder melts.
a 10 pack of your favorite LEDs from Convoy Store on AE. $15 for 219b, $19 for lh351d. Add $4 for them to be flowed onto mcpcb in 16mm or 20mm. You can get fewer, but it's much more expensive. And why wouldn't you want to try to shove a/3 219b sw45k into every light you see?
Mindset:
If you have a relatively stable hand, soldering is pretty simple. The videos above should give you plenty to get started, and approach it as something you're practicing and learning, and it can be lots of fun. Most importantly, don't be afraid to screw something up! It's part of the fun.
I've only been doing this for a few months, and I've already screwed up a few lights (this is not an exhaustive list!).
- Acebeam TK18: long story short, i screwed up the mcpcb and driver. got replacements, and it's up and running again.
- Noctigon KR4: first attempt at a Hank light, and it felt like it was a lost cause. reflashed firmware fixed weird UI behavior, and someone here pointed out a way to sal

(If you’re neither, but still interested, maybe something can be worked out.) My group specializes in software for real, physical quantum computers using superconducting and quantum dot qubit modalities.
Unfortunately, internships are only available to US citizens who are also US residents.
Internships are project-based. You’ll have some say in the project prior to accepting an offer. The project will be in Common Lisp and could pertain to:
- an optimizing quantum compiler
- porting Lisp code to other ANSI implementations
- performance benchmarking and optimization
- C-to-Lisp interfacing
- Coalton, a DSL in Lisp for statically typed functional programming
- open-source software
mostly depending on your interests and qualifications. We also have projects in C++ and Python pertaining to experimental physics and low-level run-time code.
No quantum experience needed, but any of the following make for a stronger application:
- excellent programming skills in Common Lisp (or alternatively, a statically typed functional programming language),
- good foundation of theoretical computer science, especially in advanced data structures and algorithms,
- knowledge of operating systems, compilers, runtimes,
- excellent pure mathematics knowledge.
We typically prefer internships to be on-site and in Malibu, California, but we can accommodate a remote internship depending on the application and project details.
If you’re interested and fit the above criteria, feel free to DM me about your interest.
Here are my favourites from my world:
Halcyon Research Laboratories
Beginning as a Brazilian think tank in 2029, HRL rapidly expanded, becoming world leaders in genetics, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals research. Halcyon is now one of the largest corporations, and holds several defense contracts from various governments. Their latest contract was a confidential supersoldier project for the Imperial Dominions of the Commonwealth.
Synthetic Electrics Corporation
Synthetic Electrics is the biggest robotics and artificial intelligence company in the Known Human Territories, and among their portfolio, they include such illustrious products such as the RA230 automated mining system, and the HiQ-19 Autonomous Combat Drone. There are rumours that they've been working on a generalised combat AI in violation of the Asimov Treaty, but with a near-monopoly on the development of robotic systems, few can afford to challenge them.
Stellar Industrial
A Taiwanese company founded in 2022, Stellar Industrial is the Orion Arm's foremost infrastructure and development corporation. Responsible for the invention of the ShiftGate, SI maintains an air of practiced neutrality in any and all conflicts. Their positions as the sole company with the knowledge to operate and maintain ShiftGates makes them irreplaceable to the economy, and though this grants Stellar Industrial untold political and economic power, the company holds itself above the petty disputes and underhanded tactics other megacorporations resort to. Despite this, whispers abound that some nations are beginning to develop their own ShiftGate technology, and Stellar Industrial may be on its way out.
Do your worst!
It really does, I swear!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
I won't be doing that today!
You take away their little brooms
This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!
