@MasonJar you mouthpiece is attached low on the body too and I would add a bit more water, at least half way or a bit further up the 45 degree cut on the end of the stem.:tup:

Yes I know... however based on my research with diffusion pumps, that is where the water level should be... just below the slanted 45 degree cut in the perc. The diffuser works well at that water level but only if there is a vapcap on the intake joint (or herb in the bowl).

On my FC-710 i could use less water compared to th RC and the diffuser / perc would still work.

I was able to test it last night with a vapcap and it works well. I find it less convenient to use compared to my FC-710 because the mouthpiece sits lower. Overall I would rank this slightly lower to my FC-710 all things considered.

I like a bit of extra filtering\cooling the splashing above the perc in the small void gives and it also keeps the glass looking cleaner longer. I do not like using a vapcap with the rattle can (or any bong unless I use 2 or more at a time) as the restrictive draw really impedes the action.
I also like the low mouthpiece as I hang on to my bongs while sitting in a recliner. the 710 looks like it would be better on a table.:tup:
Sounds like horses for courses

I think this is really a matter of taste, but I personally like to use a smaller can piece on vapes with lower flow rates and bowl sizes and bigger glass with higher flow vapes. That leaves me, for example, using a D020 or an ash catcher with my VapCaps, and a FC-187 or a FC-UFO with my SplinterZ or Lotus.
Part of that is more flow or vapor needs more water to cool or condition the vapor, and part is just preference.

@Ramahs make sense, like that. @cybrguy or anyone who have experience and want to share, would be using a high flow rate vapes with a smaller can produce a thicker and fuller vapor or it doesn't matter.

I'd say it doesn't matter to some point, when I used to have a 43cm tall honecomb to tree perc combustion piece, I found that never suited vaping as it was just too big and airy.

I never got the chance to attach the Sublimator, which would produce clouds suited to it visually, but for sure it would have massively killed the flavour and taken some potency with it too. The EQ and the GH can cloud up quite well and it was mostly tasteless using that big piece. It takes a lot to clear the air before you get to the clouds too.

Compared to a double lace disc Seed of Life piece, at 34cm with a narrow neck - that's about as big a volume as I'd like to go, even with massive vapour clouds. Any bigger and it's super smooth, but lacking otherwise.

I prefer to use small pieces, mainly recyclers, as there's minimal to clear in order to get to the clouds, the cooling is sufficient and the flavour is mostly retained. They also have a satisfying water action which helps the medicine go down, and they're especially good for open airflow vapes

It is the vape that produces the vapor so it is the vape that is most critical in determining the volume of vapor. But bigger glass pieces with more action and more water can definitely steal flavor and diminish the amount of vapor that makes it out the mouthpiece. Big glass and or large amounts of action are really meant as combustion pieces it seems to me, where the cooling and "filtering" of particles are more desirable and even necessary.
The FC-187 and the UFO are the largest pieces I would use vaping, and those only with high flow vapes. But an ash catcher or even the D020 won't really have enough water to effectively cool or condition the volume of vapor from RBT vapes or the like. They can be used, but they don't seem to work as well. IMHO, of course.

I've been wanting the cone and globe shaped. Let me know your favorite, so I can figure out where to start. Do you know what else Grav does that fits the VapCap? Congratulations on your fine collection, @Ramahs .

In my humble opinion, the spherical one feels best in the hand, but seems the easiest to catch splashback in the mouth with too hard a pull. The conical one is the least hand-friendly, but is middle-ground on pull, and requires the least water...but I wish the mouthpiece was angled upwards, like the other two. The upright definitely allows for the strongest pull without splashback. It's the one I'll most likely use with a banger for concentrates.

**edit** - Although, with a little practice, you can pull on that sphere plenty hard. I suspect that it may be my most used for flower/vapcap...and the upright my most used for concentrate

Thank you, @Ramahs. I love the look of the conical, but think I'll start with the spherical. I adore GRAV glass, and good advice from good people.

Team NO SLEEP!
A few weeks ago, I knocked my rig off my table... I found an inexpensive Klein at my local shop and was stoked! As much as I love the aesthetics, there is really too much restriction for me to get the incycler action when paired with my Dnail.

I am back in the market and looking for a single chamber, 8-14" (not too big), with minimal to medium diffusion, and a wide base for a stable foundation. A plus if it provides good separation between my face and the nail.


Suggestions???


I am strangely attracted to this bent-neck showered rig from August-haus. I think it fits the bill.
Have any of you all done business with them?

My Rattle Can is...not right. Look how low the mouthpiece stem is mounted to the body, it's nearly an inch too low. I have to hold it at an angle to keep water out of my mouth. And they're hassling me about it, saying it's 'handmade' and this is an acceptable variation. Now they're asking for a video. Very disappointing piece and service from stevenlmz79.

@Moses Baca it does appear your RC is defective, the mouthpiece does appear to be mounted low on the body. I just got mine today and am posting the pics below.

Here is my brief review of the RC... I have just tried it with an empty vapcap to see if the diffusion works well and also to get an idea how it compares with the FC-710 which is one of two most favored china glass bubblers... The other being the 8" CCG Straight Fab.

ePacket box... This is the best packaging I have gotten from DHGate so far... Carton box outer shell, a styrofoam inner shell, and finally two layers of bubble packs protecting the piece.

The Rattle Can compared to the 8" CCG Straight Fab and FC-710...

RC01.jpg


The build quality is pretty good... not perfect by all means. There are bubbles on the joints but those are also present in my other pieces. The glass is relatively thick although I would have preferred a thicker support for the 18mm intake joint... The support is not uniform in thickness and thins out as it attaches to the body. Overall however, construction is pretty good for the price. I will give a more detailed review of its performance in comparison to my other bubblers once I use it with herb.

In my preliminary test of the mechanics (especially how the ball behaves), I just filled the RC with water as in the pic. At this level, the ball/valve action works well, just like my FC-710. It does appear to need more water than the FC-710 to perform as designed. The FC-710 can handle less water with the rattler still working fine.

I know its already been stated but just to concur, both these FC Rattle Cans have mouthpieces mounted strangely much lower than I'm used to.

A link to the one I purchased is in my sig.

I got Yinmin5 to produce a version of the Rattle Can as I was sick of the Stevenimz Monopoly and poor QC.
The VA-Rattle Can;
https://www.dhgate.com/product/amaz...lass-water-pipe/474981921.html#mfavit-14-null

This is the lowest any of their mouthpieces will be mounted (too much higher and you can suck water up like a straw while diffusing)
Cheaper, thicker base, longer diffusion tube (from ball up to 45 cut), slightly higher (more room to grip the body for people with larger hands) nicer mouthpiece and is now my daily driver, my other 2x RC from Stevenimz are now backup spares. :tup:
