Placed an order on the GB187 on the 7th of this month, supposedly since the 9th it hasn't moved outta Shenzhen as far as tracking goes, but idk im in california so hopefully something happens, been messaging yingmin but he just keeps saying it'll get here, just don't wanna be one of those lost package cases especially this being the first time ordering out of country, patience :rolleyes:
I received mine, and was still showing in China, lol.
Have patience, it may already be in the States.
BTW, I'm in California, and it only took 7 days from the day I order it.

My GB-194 replacement from Yingmin5 has been in San Francisco since June 8th :( definitely thought I would be getting it this week but it seems like USPS got overloaded this week and they put the epackets on the back burner while they take care of the priority mail first...

On a brighter note my Nano Planet rigs from Kathy shipped this week and tracking is showing it is in Wenzhou China :D should be here next week if USPS gets their shit together

yea, i am picky
i like an effortless pull, almost no drag pipe
i want the drag to be as light as possible, think about breathing thru your nose
that's how much drag i like
and the g186-1 is not an effortless pull, almost no drag pipe

i got the g186-1 to replace my HiSi hex, which is an effortless pull, almost no drag pipe

Yea and i dont get how you can complain about it. You paid $65 for a bet you paid 200+ on that HiSi.

I don't know what it is about this thread that gets you guys so worked up......

@budha707 , you are getting a bit snarky here... a review of the "Be Nice" rules is in order. You can access them here.

That's typical I'd say, it won't show another update till it hits US shore.

I also ordered a piece on the 7th, but from SunshineStore. It is also sitting in HANGZHOU sorting center. This is significantly slower than my last order from SS, but likely of no concern. Patience IS the word...

Ordered from Kathy on the 6th, it's out for delivery today. Remember they had a holiday last week.

the double barrel is 14mm right?

Yep.

Hopefully some of this stuff will help with your decision.
Heres a pic of the bottom joint. And the hole inside the stemless (3/8", 9mm).

How I use it most!:nod:

Nice vid, really milked it up!

Ewwww... ;)

Having never used concentrates or even oil I guess I am behind the times. It seems more like combusting than vaping, but I really have no idea. I just like the difference in my lungs from not combusting.

I was thinking yummm. Dabbing is vaping, as long as the nail isn't too hot. And a mighty fine way to vape as well.

My order went right thru this week, maybe they needed to fire yours up to reduce the stress on the postal workers? :cool: Kathy seems pretty consistent lately.

I'm about 99% sure that piece is the same body as my 189 but with a honeycomb perc instead of the turbine. If so, I think you'll be very happy with the body, it's nice, thick and very solid feeling. Both are great choices for a mid-cheap sidecar.

@BoogerMan I am in great anticipation of detailed reviews of both the 194 and the ball rig. I have never hit a ball and at that price I wouldn't mind owning one. Not a huge fan of that big ass label though

I think a lot of us are waiting for first hand accounts on those. Personally, I most look forward to seeing the 194, with the predator alien dreadlock perc :borg: (that's what I'm calling it :cool:).

I dunno Mr G, Just my :2c: but rigs like these are the answer to the combustion crowd in deed. With that much diffusion it will surely smooth out any herb, but I have a few 12 arm bubs, nice but IMO they are flava killers for vapes and with this bad boy (got admit its got me swooning over it) will surely do that. Im trying to stay away from combustion pieces for the obvious, but sometimes ya just gots to be bad:evil: and commit pulmonary suicide and burn it up:spliff: I know shame on me but I'm just being honest:p

As we all admit, that little badboy DO20 is a fav for daily drive'n, no drag and flava coming on big time with it. Wait'n for my tornado rig and the 2nd most bought new rig on FC- The YINGMAN5 #187, hopefully they will arrive sometime nxt week and in working order..........:clap:

I'm guessing I'll see the cyclone bub by monday, since my tracking shows it landed in LA yesterday. I have been eyeballing that larger sidecar from Yamin5, I still don't have a true sidecar piece yet, but wonder if I should hold off and see if a new perc design pops up soon, I don't really need more showerheads or honeycombs. The "ratchet" perc looks interesting, but I haven't seen a lot of feedback on that one.

Man I bet they did. I hope they at least get to enjoy one without a crack lol. I think I might be calling USPS on Monday. The last update says:
Your item has been processed through our sort facility in ISC SAN FRANCISCO (USPS) at 10:55 pm on June 8, 2014.

So either they lost my package or it is just sitting in a sort facility somewhere.

Either way I just want my non broken 194 so I can do a darn review for you all!

Mine are doing the old version way, sitting in pre shipment status and ordered on the 8th of this month.I live in south FL and I guess we're the red headed step child to the USPS.I have nvr rec'd anything from China in less than 20 days,its all good, have plenty of rigs to keep me going.Been making butta and oil for cooking with ABV .
whole nutha world those medibles ........learning, mine have been real strong and over indulgence will put you in ZOMBIE-WOLF MODE!!:freak: and I keep vape'n before hand then get munched and what does my dumbass do, grab a space cake and go flying until it peaks and them I'm wish'n I didnt eat that damn thing:ugh: and I'm looking for a crash site (my bed) to land my OUT OF CONTOL ASS DOWN :uhoh:

Definitely not combusting. I am using an UpTech Persei Oil Vape with a KISS cart.
I get it. It's just that were I to see that kind of density while vaping flowers it would mean I combusted. I'm coming to understand that concentrates and oil are very different. Neither are available to me.

Edit: So, the concentrates are basically the active ingredients of the MJ completely separated out from the plant material. And when heated on a nail they are NOT combusting, but just evaporating at high speed much like they would with a vape but faster and without the interference of the plant material potentially igniting or providing edges or surfaces that might get in the way. Is that basically it?

I haven't combusted on purpose in about 9 months and the few times I did by accident tasted horrific, so it's in my rear view mirror, but I never say never. But I understand for many vaping is part time, for those I recommend finding a good high temp signature vape like an Evo, enano or Infinity, finding the right vape helps a lot in leaving smoke entirely (assuming its even something you want to do).

@ataxian is this the ash catch youre using with the D020-T http://www.dhgate.com/product/18-8m...and-whirlpool/184088672.html#cppd-23-5|null:5. ?

I was thinking maybe this one would be my safest bet http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/18-8mm-honeycomb-smoking-water-glass-percolator/175901652.html

But I kinda feel like a tree perc could be a cool compliment to the 20-T's ratchet perc over another (albeit honeycombed) disk. Does that sound true at all, or am i better off with the honey comb?
This one is also $25 shipped though vs the other one's $20 and I don't know about pipesdaddy?
https://www.pipesdaddy.com/mobile/product.aspx?ProductCode=AC-0036-0002

It would be great if @sunshinestore offered straight/90° angle tree percs like that, but they only have 45° ones like this
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/hand-blown-glass-vase-water-perc-percolator/160900314.html
which would definitely be much better than the pipesdaddy piece if it were a 90° joint...

It would also be awesome if they could start offering more 90° ash catchers with other perc designs for $20 as well
like this
http://www.just4smokers.com/liquid-shower-head-perc-90-degree-ash-catcher/
or this
http://www.just4smokers.com/syn-circ-perc-90-degree-ash-catcher-18mm/

And side note I'm also kind of curious how this one works exactly? Could be interesting with the LSV

Naw G-man, I just do it out of impatience for the most part,its wanting instant gratification !! But I have been good for the last 15 days or so.I have been waiting for the Solo to warm up and as you mentioned, burning after you vaped consecutively for a while the best nug in the world literally taste like ass and to me that blows big time.

Just mentioning that a lot of the stuff thats large and has mad diffusion is for the road warriors who enjoy their tar and poison gasses served up righteously in a kick in your ass bong such as we see with the 194.

Of course I in no way mean disrespect for your choice in glass,I love the piece and have seen it here at the shyster in town for 150$. I have found out the big rigs I have with the mad diffusion killed that sweet taste after the 1st good rip, but the little bad boys like the DO20 just keep making tasty rip after rip just about. I dont dab due to not knowing where to get product so I am clueless what effect on flavor an intricate rig like the 194 has on that sort of medication, but for myself ,rigs like it are a flava destroyer and from time to time I have to justify my spending a few 100 bucks on a few big monsters and light em up and destroy what I have left in the lung dept.:cheers:

What a great thread guys!
I have been getting oil lately and as opposed to vaping it I wanted to find a nice small cheap oil rig, to give it a try, see how I like it and go from there. I figured, get a decent cheap one and use it until I find a nicer "more expensive" quality unit.
After googling, I found this site and ordered a 5 finger percolator with a glass nail (I opted for the 5 piece Ti nail $10 extra but you still get the glass one) male to male joint, and globe.

I wanted to post this for anyone in my situation because I love it, it was super cheap, shipped fast, and hits great! I talked to Larry the owner, who is a great guy and wants to get a glass thread on FC @vtac.

Larry was so cool, he put on his site if you put vape dr in as a discount code you get 10% off!

Anyway I got a 5 finger percolator with Ti nail shipped to my house in like 2 days for $51! I couldn't believe it!

Now these pieces are no where near as nice as the ones shown, granted, they are works of art!

But if theres anyone in my position that is looking for a cheap oil rig, or any kind of glass, or fittings, at very, very competitive prices, you may want to check out this site.
I hope it's ok, I'm going to post the link to the oil rig I got.

Looks like Bake Bros have added a fair few more pieces since I last looked...some nice cheapish options for concentrates on there!

Here's a couple of fun looking pieces...





I just checked out bake bros on ioffer and on their website. They have a lot of cool stuff for under $100. I really like the two you listed above along with these ones :) looks like I may be buying a few new ones soon! Have to get rid of some of the old ones that are piling up first :rolleyes:

That's pretty much strictly for combustion, and to be used dry. Bowl goes on top, ashes burn through the hole in the slide, get caught in that chamber. The smoke is drawn through the bottom tube and into a water pipe (or whatever you've got it attached to). No water filtration in that piece. I guess it might be possible to use a little bit but you'd have to be really careful about the water level and draw speed because those tubes don't have much difference in height. Just end up sucking extra water into your piece and dry hitting it anyway :2c:.

So I can't find many dhgate stores other than Kathy that ship cheap to the UK - as in they double the price of a $30 bubbler. Is Kathy legit??
