Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Frederick McGuire

Aggressively Loungey
Yeah @ChippyMalone that is exactly how it works. It was created before the recycler I believe. Either way mixing the two designs is possible but not ideal. With a normal recycler all the water is forced to through the uptake into the vortex chamber. The whole point of the pillar is so the water can fall back down instead of being sucked up. Similar concept to a recycler but kind of the opposite so it would constantly be fighting itself on how the water would be displaced. If you get what I'm saying...

This is a case where you pick one design or the other. If this was a good design you would see a popular big name company making them.

I do get the appeal though. Who doesn't like a miniature tornado in their Bong :shrug:
I've kinda gotta disagree with your conclusions.

With a high enough water level, you can get the water to stack all the way up the uptube and perc out the top.
It almost make the top of the tubes effectively a 6 hole disk perc.

Once the water is up the tubes, throwing a vortex chamber and return tube in there shouldn't really change the function of the pillar itself I'd think...

Also, Itza have been doing pillar-cyclers for a year or 2 now...

Personally I'd love to see something similar to the sg pillar (natty splash/sidecar/removable/bubbler style mouthpiece, at least 12, but preferably closer to 14-15 inches tall. There's also the options of straight tube base with a foot, or beaker style base. Maybe a tiny splash of color in the base, on the top, or in the bridge? I know that's pushing it...) I'd love to see a matrix perc in there replacing the peyote, makes it less of a direct clone...

Once the traditional pillar is up and running, I'd love to see him try to do a pillar-cycler :brow:

Hey I've been stalking this thread for awhile now until I saw this. I just bough the legit american version of this. Its the JM Flow sci mini can inline to crystal ball. Personally that knock off ball is awful, there's no up stem on the original. I just thought I'd add my two cents, I'll add a picture of mine very soon. I love this thread, I'm making a Christmas list of what I want lol. I realized how many shops push China glass as local made, because it is a decent quality as long as it isn't that fucking garbage colored glass with branch percs.

I'm looking forward to my FC-187, but I wouldn't have minded if it was a little taller. As I intend to use it with flowers rather than concentrates, a little more volume might have been nice. That has been my complaint (such as it is) about much of the china glass we see, that it could be a little bigger. That is probably also part of why I tend to favor the D022, which is a little taller (but narrower).

I don't expect this to keep me from enjoying the FC-287, however... ;)

Edit: Hmmm... A little too many littles I think...

If a canvas pouch would work you could try messaging some Etsy sellers to see if they'll sew a custom size for you. These are just a couple i found real quick.

This was so nice of you. I only need a couple but I will check them out for sure. I'm very excited to see the adapters and bubblers as well.

FC-187 too short? I thought it's more than tall enough! I kinda wish it was smaller! :lol: (flowers only, no concentrates)

Anyone get their shipping notices for the FC-187? I haven't gotten any updates since this morning!

@LongIslandmom - I'm ordering a custom padded bag for the YQ-42 I bought for my friend from this vendor:

You are always " Ratchett on the spot". I will check him out when I get the bubbler and see how big it is. My planetvape adapter has been shipped. Of course the email came w a set of instructions that I didnt understand but isn't that always the case.

Well, I won't know until I actually have the piece, of course. But coming from combustion only several months ago I was used to larger pieces. My first vape was the HA, and while it was possible to turn it over into my D020 and my D020-T, it left the HA right in my face which was kinda awkward. I ended up connecting the pieces to the HA with a length of silicone and a 90° adapter which worked fine albeit putting silicone in the path. Later I got the Lotus and that satisfied me.

I'm hoping with the sidecar I may be able to more comfortably turn my HA over into the FC-187, but I am guessing a little more size couldn't hurt. I'll soon see if it is at all necessary (for me).

Nothing since the 2 emails I received immediately at purchase.

Was in contact with Kathy about the double vortex, they only have blue and black trimmed, none that are all clear. I am supposed to be getting blue. I knew it was likely going to be that way, and don't mind in any case. I just told her if it was in good condtion and worked well I'd be happy. Hopefully I am not dissapointed. Eager to have this one in my hands, looks like she is just getting it shipped out. Let the waiting begin. :D Sorry to those who were hopeful for no color.

Was bringing home my newly acquired 186 home in my duffel. I was po'd over a ticket I'd just got and mindlessly tossed my bag down in defeat. Concrete floor, meet glass..one solid crack in the base.. Still functional. Sorta cool gift for a friend, but wish Yingmin would sel more singles. Or lots of 6 so I could use my $50 coupon

I used a 10$ coupon for the alina recycler and a 5$ for the FC 187 to quell the pain

hmm maybe not in like bong format, then I cant even see that shit lol

-"hey friends! does my pillar look cool when I hit it?"
-"eeh.. sure man.."
:lol: That's kinda how I feel about vortexing recyclers - only enjoyable for friends to watch, you can't see shit without a mirror!

^Ditto
44 pcs sold in 24hrs......not bad
I count 47 pieces sold as of this morning! Lol, that's awesome! Let's hope the build quality is up to par!

Looks functional enough to me. Can't tell if it will vortex propperly but imho it should recycle. Really tempting piece.

@Cannabis Connoisseur I just decided to get one. I had one $10 off coupon left that expired 12/15 so I figured why not. Don't want my coupons to go to waste ;)

I am so happy DHGate did that Turkey Spin game. I have ordered 10 pieces this past month, and each purchase I was able to use a coupon. I saved almost $100 on top of the already ridiculously low prices :tup:
