Sorry buddy
I am sure you will be impressed when you get it in your hands
I actually really like the slitted perc, it's a bit like the CCG D-Cycler perc and is fairly effortless use!
A replacement is more than a reasonable request. Contact him about the second, and there should be no issues. Two broken pieces is definitely more than enough reason to get a single replacement. I'm surprised he only offered 5%.So on the topic of refunds I ordered 2 fc 187s seperately and the first came with a hole on the weld for the mouthpiece and the second had a crack going around half of the weld that can be felt from the outside of the glass. I contacted him about the first one with the hole and he offered a 5 percent off which I thought was a lititle low but I never responded since I wasn't sure if I would even want to order any more from him. But the second one I actually didon't notice the crack until after using and still haven't contacted steven because I've just been too lazy tbh. So my question to other members is do you think thsee two faulty welds should give me more than 5 or 10 percent to maybe 20 25 percent or perhaps if you think a replacement with my next order is a reasonable request? I'm looking at the FC 1000 for my next order

counting posts in this forum, bulk orders you made or whatSteven sends out a large volume of products that are not quite right. He quite a bit more than the likes of Sunshine Store. The guy seems to think he is doing you a favour by sending you a functional piece. His QC record is very low imo.
My initial thoughts were this is unacceptable. I honestly just don't care for the hassle because I'm battling a bug. Yesterday i had more fight over the issue. Today I'm just too weak^ Man, you didn't get what you ordered... Surely you have a strong case for a dispute?
I wouldn't accept anything other than him sending the right piece.
I'm bout to order the FC-1000 too, sure hope they get it right.
I was pissed at Steve. I ordered the
FC-1000 and got the FC-707
Although they are almost the same piece THEY ARE NOT THE SAME PIECE!!
I don't recall who bought which design forth, and honestly at this point don't care. I do recall much debate over the two pieces. I never EVER liked this design, no disrespect intended to the designer. It just wasn't for me. I made damn sure to be careful when ordering to not mix it up. And I'd like to say the one he sent with the mouthpiece off the top gets splashback when clearing. I'm sure the one I actually ordered doesn't do that. My Damn EVO is all in my face thanks to the mouthpiece hovering over the tube. I've done enough trial and error with glass to know what not to buy at this point, and I'd have never bought this piece because it doesn't fit the vape I bought it for. I could tell that looking at it in pics from China, I didn't need to get it all the way here to figure that out!! ON top of that I ordered 2pieces at the same time. I got a tracking number and assumed both had been mailed at the same time. So i get the package not only is it the wrong piece, it's an incomplete order!! NO STRAIGHT FAB!!! As i'm complaining to him in an email, I get a tracking number for the straight fab. How did I not get informed it would be two separate orders over a week apart? I'm beyond pissed! So after contacting Steve he offered a 30-40% refund, which he never specified which. I told him that's not reasonable because ITS NOT WHAT I ORDERED!! I don't want a partial refund i want what i ordered. He laughed it off literally with a "he he he",and recommended i keep the piece he sent since its in "high qualtity" and take a 30-40% refund. Then he informed me it was midnight in China and he had a very big customer coming to his shop tomorrow so he had to go. I'm honestly cool with his remedy since the piece i got does work, but to be honest I don't like this design its just ugly compared to the one i ordered. Overall at least Steve tried to somewhat remedy the problem. I would've sent it back but I'm afraid shipping would be more than i paid for the piece and shipping. Oh well
I've had great luck with the showered recycler ash catcher from kathy! Honestly the only one that looks even remotely worth it...I know for example smokecartel would give you 20% discount on a damaged rig. 5% is really low considering american vendors will give you 20%....but the 20% is probably = to 5% chinese cause of the low prices they have less margin of profit perhaps...I don't know...I bet he would give you more if he could...
I just got 2 pieces from steven today....
FC-Cake
SL15002
Both were in pristine condition and are providing me with the smoothest rips so far...These are my first 2 pieces from him though....really impressed with quality of the builds...I should also get the
SL15011
All seem really decent on price and can't beat the quality...I have rigs from other sellers and they aren't even close to this level....I will be saving my money for more of stevens for sure...Just need some good ash catchers...anyone have good luck with ash catchers off there?
I like where this idea is going and the simplicity of it. Perhaps steven could make a prototype to test the function. But why not make a vortex functioning recycler with the matrix or stereo matrix perc. I'm thinking a kliein or d cycler look
