Glass diffuser or...

Right now I have a very small submerged power filter (like 10gph or something) in my ten gallon as a CO2 diffuser. It has been working pretty well, solidly raising the amount of CO2 dissoved in the tank compared to other methods I have tried. However I think CO2 bubbles going into it constantly for about a month or two has impacted how well it is performing and the CO2 fills is and de-primes the filter (which means no more bubbles of CO2 getting chopped up and pH fluctuations like crazy).

Will a glass diffuser give me the same kind of results? Because essentially all the filter was doing was misting the big bubbles and it worked great. So will a glass diffuser mist the bubbles in the same manner? I can pick up two of them for like $8 on ebay so they're definitely cheap enough.
