Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[Delta3DStudios]

Just curious if anyone has this particular bubbler or similar d20 and use it was an ash catcher? I'm considering purchasing this one below and want to get an ash catcher to keep it cleaner but with it being smaller I'm not sure if it would tip over or not.

It's a male fitting, I hate male fittings so I gave mine away. But it actually worked very well with my Lotus vaporizer (I used a female to female and lifted that to carb the piece).

It is small, you'd want a small AC if anything, but with a Female to Female and an AC, it might get a bit awkward.

Not a bad piece, just no longer in my personal collection (no 14mm male bubblers for me, I hate em)

Does anyone know if the d020 will work well with my minivap and lsv (both similar in shape), without it right next to my face? The price point def interests me.

Lol, probably way too small for either of those vapes. I haven't tried my LSV with the D020, but it probably wouldn't work with the m2m, you'd probably need the official WPA so you could twist the LSV away from your face while your take a hit (I'll have to test later lol)

I am just about to buy one of StevenLMZ69 's pieces and am unsure whether to choose the FC 707 or the FC 1000. They seem to be the same apart from the mouthpiece being either side mounted or top mounted. My thought is that the side mounted pieces are probably more delicate and easier to break. They both look quite beautiful and I am hoping that he has now got the quality control issues sorted out. Any thoughts to help me decide between the 2?

I don't own either but The pillar brings water all the way up the can so I'd say the bent mouth peice is a lot less likely to have water get in your mouth.

People seem to like the CCG egg-- I believe the consensus is that this is one of the better larger eggs.

If you're dabbing this thing should be just fine-- maybe get a drop down. Otherwise if you're planning on combusting or vaping I'd recommend the stereo matrix from Steven or Yingman.

Any reason you don't recommend it for dry flower? I like the more compact bubblers if they're functional.

The CCG egg is amazing for combusting flowers. I own many american flower tubes and china ones. CCG is super smooth. I recomend a better airflow slide then it comes with.. It is really smooth. But for the size rips I take i wouldnt say it takes the cake over the fc-186 with an SG 4 hole slide.

Not to flaunt and say trust my opinion over others.. But ive owned LOTS of american glass over the past 5 years, and a lot of china in the last year. The CCG is great for combusting flowers..

But fuck that, this is indeed fuck combustion afterall..

The only person I know of who has ended up with the tube style FC-707 is @Cannabis Connoisseur (side note - to anyone who was pushing for the tube style neck, as I know there was a lot of back and forth about it, where are the reviews?
It's kinda frustrating that people were pushing for a design and then just noped out of purchasing it...).

As he said, He didn't order the 707 tube version, he was sent it in error.

Basically, it seems like the tube version has a slight splashback issue, which I have not experienced with the bubbler style FC-1000.

The bubbler style gives a nice view of the top of the can so you can see vapor forming, I have no idea what the view is like for the 707.

Did you try out the piece? I am sure that you could sell your piece for a profit! It looks so good and is much cheaper than other matrix pillars.

There are other matrix pillars?

Yes, I did use the D020 as my combustion/ dab rig a while back

The other pillar types that I have seen are the Mobius Matrix and the Sovereignty Peyote Pillar both much more expensive than Steven's pieces but also look pretty awesome.

Thanks for the feedback. It would be good to get a review of the FC707. My thought on the FC707 is that if splashback is a problem why not put a slitted dome in bottom of the neck of the mouthpiece? That would keep the vapour in while stopping any splashback. Maybe a suggestion for Steven to incorporate into the design? Putting a dome could also make the neck function as an ice bong adding further cooling.

In case you are really itching to throw a lot of money away...here's a regular old bong. I have one like it I'll let go for 1/3 the price.

Advanced warning:
I am about to be pedantic about model names/terminology - IMO there are enough issues with identifying glass designs that being mushy with set terminology is just going to confuse things...

The other pillar types that I have seen are the Mobius Matrix and the Sovereignty Peyote Pillar both much more expensive than Steven's pieces but also look pretty awesome.

Well "mobius matrix" doesn't describe any pillar piece I've ever seen...
"Mobius" refers to an American brand.
AFAIK, they have never produced any pillar items.
"Matrix" refers to a perc type - A "Birdcage", "Tyre" or whatever else it may also be referred to, it is essentially a form of gridded showerhead in function.

"Mobius Matrix" essentially just means any Mobius produced item that has a matrix perc

I have 2 Mobius Matrices (and used to own 2 others), but they don't really fit into this thread...

"Sovereignty Peyote Pillar" also Does not describe a Matrix Pillar
"Sovereignty" is the American Brand.
"Peyote" Refers to the initial Perc, which is also essentially a form of gridded showerhead, though fairly different in design.
"Pillar" then refers to the pillar section in the piece.

So "Sovereignty Peyote Pillar" refers to a pillar piece with a peyote perc...

Here are the only pillar pieces I know of on DHGate:

The Sovereignty Mini Pillar Knockoffby Steven (FC-711?).
It has a peyote-ish Showerhead Perc - No matrix = not a matrix pillar

The Vertigo Pillar-Cycler Knockoff by CCG
Showerhead Perc - No matrix = not a matrix pillar

FC-1000 (bubbler/side neck) & FC-707 (tube/top neck) By steven
Matrix Perc = Matrix Pillar

An unknown janky looking straight tube pillar with either a showerhead or matrix perc...

With the possible exception of that last one I listed, There are no other matrix pillars on dhgate to compare to in order to say that Stevens ones are good value.

You can certainly use the Pricing of similar US made items to gauge the relative value of the FC-707/1000, but that's different to another chinese matrix pillar...

I also just want to throw out there that the stereo matrix is not a pillar piece if that's what you meant when you said "Mobius Matrix"

Thanks for the feedback. It would be good to get a review of the FC707. My thought on the FC707 is that if splashback is a problem why not put a slitted dome in bottom of the neck of the mouthpiece? That would keep the vapour in while stopping any splashback. Maybe a suggestion for Steven to incorporate into the design? Putting a dome could also make the neck function as an ice bong adding further cooling.

That could definitely help, I'd guess it'll add another couple of $$$ to the price...
IMO the bubbler design is better for this piece anyway...

Apologies for my incorrect use of the terminology and thanks for the wealth of information.

I am on the fence as well between the FC-707 and FC-1000. The FC-1000 is now listing as $73.87 and the FC-707 is $68.19. I have a $5 coupon so in reality they are the same price. I am leaning towards the FC-1000 due to splash back concerns from what was posted about the FC-707 but someone posted there is a V2 of the FC-1000 coming. I am not sure if I should wait or not. Sometimes the V2 is not better. Does any one know more about this?

 

[hweezi]

Was wondering if you guys could tell me which piece from Steven is going to have the least drag. I'm going to be using a E-nano in it for reference.

The few that I'm really interested in are the FC-186, the straight fab, and the FC-1000.

I'm not sure if it would be a good choice for the E-nano but the new Torus clone looks really nice too.

 

[ChiefKeefe]

I want steven to make a smaller torus and str8 fab.. Am i being greedy lol. Think it would be possible @blankrider

 

[Dr200]

Yingmin, without a doubt. The key difference is that Yingmin's percs are welded to the bottom of the can, which means they're closed off and the vapor is going to be channeled entirely through the slits. With Stevens, the bottoms of the arms on the percs are wide open, which means that the slits will fire less and the whole piece will have a much chuggier feel, which is much less like an actual Toro.


Yeah, that's becoming an increasingly widespread problem for me with DHgate glass... That spot seems to get overlooked a lot. There was a huge leak right there in the recycler I just posted about, so big that nothing made it through to the perc.

I also had that problem with a micro I bought a while back, which come to think of it I totally forgot to mention on here. It was this guy, from seller Wintergirl:

http://www.dhgate.com/product/hot-i...r/214756798.html#myaccount_orderdetail-1-null

Same problem. Huge round hole where the perc is welded to the can, and all the vapor goes through there instead of the perc. I got a replacement from them which has the exact same problem too, and I'm currently waiting to hear back from them about getting a third...

Anyone else had this problem before or is it just me? I feel like I haven't heard too many other people mention it...

I have ordered this same piece from Wintergirl. It was on sale for $11.xx a couple months ago
http://www.dhgate.com/product/hot-i...r/214756798.html#myaccount_orderdetail-1-null

The piece was ok but the perc was up just a bit to high in the can for me. I broke it a couple weeks ago so decided to try a different seller. Chenfeng11 http://www.dhgate.com/product/5-5-q...e/214891972.html#myaccount_orderdetail-1-null had this style but looked like the perc was slanted down in the pic on DHgate so I ordered it ($11.59). I just opened it up and there is a hole at the top of the perc where its welded. About a 5+mm hole. Same as @Erwin . I have emailed them with pics and waiting for a reply. The piece is better as the mouth piece is slanted away more then Wintergirls and the perc is lower in the can but still a bit to high imo.

Also I have 2 coupons for DHgate expire on the 30th. $5 off $30 and $5 off $50. Pm me if you want the code. Cheers

A new fab design:
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/new-fab-egg-glass-water-pipes-dab-rigs-oil/244527637.html

I went through logjam glass instagram and found this model, it's called the triple mutant egg. This far more complex than most of their designs so it is kind of weird that they would start with that one...but looks pretty cool

 

[EverythingsHazy]

Yea, after all the shit I got for pushing for the bubbler style neck, I expected a few more people who spoke up, to pick up a 707 instead of a 1000 and review it.

It is very weird.

I'm impressed by these Chinese blowers. There is some skill over there apparently. I like the mutant eggs more than the fab eggs. If they make the mutant eggs without the top section i'd grab one. And the doughnut klein with it if it's ever back.

hey guys dont worry, they said their paint is safe. lol

"longerglassbong 2015-06-29 05:56

You understand wrong, our paints are safe, you can buy one to try!"

edit.

i also ordered a cheap tablet, i wonder what kind of crazy chinese spyware is built into those

No need to apologize
It's just better to keep things clear
Percs and such can get confusing to keep track of...

I am on the fence as well between the FC-707 and FC-1000. The FC-1000 is now listing as $73.87 and the FC-707 is $68.19. I have a $5 coupon so in reality they are the same price.

Sometimes the V2 is not better. Does any one know more about this?

Someone (sorry can't remember who) mentioned Steven had mentioned a V2 to them...
I personally didn't like the sound of the changes, but no-one has really discussed them further as far as I know... There may be design reasons for certain changes that I'm not aware of, but ATM they sound like a step backwards
I'm going to contact Steven later today to ask about it

Was wondering if you guys could tell me which piece from Steven is going to have the least drag. I'm going to be using a E-nano in it for reference.

The few that I'm really interested in are the FC-186, the straight fab, and the FC-1000.

I'm not sure if it would be a good choice for the E-nano but the new Torus clone looks really nice too.

I have all 3 of those pieces.
I'll do a quick comparison post of them for you soon
My first thought is that of the 3 the straight fab might be a bit of a better fit because its the smallest of them.
Can the nano really keep up milking a bigger piece? I only got to try a friends nano a few times and wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be based on its rep around here...

I went through logjam glass instagram and found this model, it's called the triple mutant egg. This far more complex than most of their designs so it is kind of weird that they would start with that one...but looks pretty cool

It could just be because they've been doing those techniques on recent pieces?
I know for sure I've seen a coin rig (or whatever that mid section is called) from one or two sellers recently, and the fab eggs have been exploding all over dhgate...

Yea, after all the shit I got for pushing for the bubbler style neck, I expected a few more people who spoke up, to pick up a 707 instead of a 1000 and review it.

IKR...
At least the 1000 is nice

EDIT:
I just counted the slits on a few of my matrices:
FC-1000 Matrix Perc - 21 Slits, 2 bands
FC-186 Stereo Matrix - 18 Slits, 2 bands for both percs
Yingmin Stereo Marix - 25 Slits, 2 bands for both percs

I'm trying to sale the 707 Steve sent me instead of the 1000 I ordered! I'm going to reorder the 1000 if I can sale the707
