I had bought a FC188 that arrived with all the guts lopsided a while ago from Steven. It functioned fine but was an eyesore for the 2 years I used it. I was a offered $5 refund or I can break it and they would send a replacement. Looking back I should have opted for the replacement because eventually I ordered a second one.How picky is reasonable for china glass? I ordered a "stereo matrix" from steven and the can is not straight (not too bad but still noticeable lean), also the base doesnt sit flat it rocks back and forth.
The FC Mod (2nd link) is great for everyday use, I like the Matrix perc for dabs and the tyre perx for buds.
One of it's best features is that it can be easily disassembled and cleaned in the dishwasher.
I would also add my favourite most used bong is a Rattle Can, not the one you linked, this one,

That and the rattle can you linked can have hit or miss quality-wise (like most on DHGate) but it matters more with these pieces due to how rattle cans work.
Any idea how this stacks up against the yingming piece?
I asked CCG to make a version, they said they were too busy keeping up with their current range.Really wish CCG or anyone with good quality control would make a version of this.
The FC186 is the one I use often for the reason you mention!I would take the UFO off your list. From what I understand its supposed to have alot of volume and give big hits. You are looking for smooth hits as using it dry irritates your throat, a big lung busting hit will probably make you cough as well.
Rattle can is a newer design so if people confirm that its a smooth hitter that would be a good piece to try.
I finally got my CCG Fabsphere rig in:
The shipping from SmokeRolla took forever but it finally arrived. Going to be able to try it out for the first time tomorrow when I'm able to re-up.
Edit: Awful fuckin quality but here's a short function video:
I had similar problems recently. The piece was barely usable and DH rep offered me just a 15$ discount. Worst part was sending them visual proof of the issue and letting them understand. Finally they did, and offered such a discount on the original price, that was 55/60$. I asked full refund or better, to get a non faulty percolator to solve the problem. The seller (glassbong iirc) was fine with sending the percolator but didn’t send the tracking notice to DH as soon as they wanted it (this is what DH rep told me), so they got pissed off and gave me full refund. After this bad experience, turned out good for me, I will never impulse buy anything else on DH or not recommended by users or from reputable sellers. I don’t want to spend my time on disputes.How picky is reasonable for china glass?
