Ok so finally my FC-710 has shipped:bowdown:
I originally ordered one on the 10th but Steven never shipped mine out after 15 days so it was automatically cancelled. He messaged me the day of the cancellation saying there was a mishap with postage and he has mine ready (sent two additional photos to show it was actually mine). I had to reorder but it shipped now.

Shipping should have been worked out way before this since I ordered it all the way back on the 10th. I am pleased with Steven's communication though. Very quick responses, very polite, and very easy to work with.

Just some initial thoughts with Steven so far

Is your FC-187 v.1 or v.2? I think most of the perc issues were resolved in v.2. I'm not crazy about my v.1 either...

v.1. The new perc on v.2 would have the same problem, maybe a bit less if the percs aren't as high as the one I received, but the problem would still exist. It's in the design.

Everyone, your attention please. I have two words to inspire you: TRIPLE INCYCLER. That is all :rockon:

That's awesome but I'm a little sketched out about that site because the pics are stolen from Thickassglass.com, but I guess this isn't uncommon for a foreign seller. I would like to see some pics of the actual piece taken by 52glassware.

@Erwin do you mind contacting 52glassware and asking if they supply thickassglass.com and ask if they have pictures they took of the product? If they tell you the pictures are theirs don't believe them because I know for a fact that thickassglass takes their own pics and videos at their office once they have the product in their hands. I have bought quite a bit of stuff from TAG over the past 3 years so that's how I know this.

I think it was $200 from thickassglass when it was in stock though so maybe 52glassware is one of TAGs sources? If this is true the quality should be good. Almost every piece I have received from TAG has been good quality (I didn't think they were China made until now lol).

@EVlL 55 has one from Thickassglass and said he loves it!

Has anyone ordered from 52glassware before? or is anyone willing to try lol? I might after next payday if no one else wants to ;)

And $130 seems a little high for a China made piece but I guess it's not too bad. DHgate has just spoiled us lol. Before DHgate if I would have seen a triple incycler for $130 I would have bought it that second. Shipping is only $5 too. Not bad at all, but I'd definitely buy one if Steven made it for $80 :D

Has anyone else noticed 52glassware has stuff for $0?
Tempted to add one to cart and try to checkout lol.

EDIT:

Well I couldn't resist any longer. Damn GAS. I bought the triple incycler, and added a few of the $0 rigs and $0 glass hookahs to my order. Shipping was $5 per item. So I got 6 items including the triple incycler for $160.

I have a feeling I will be getting an email from them about the $0 items but hey maybe I will get a bunch of free items. Ya never know haha :D

I'll report back soon about everything.

What a guy!
I like @Frederick McGuire's idea especially the female joint. I'm wishing more glass these days would have a F joint. I don't know why almost everything has a male joint.
I also am for a flared mouthpiece like that. The current one is a deal killer.
And my .02? How about some color work one the bottom of the can? Also how about a puck shaped perc?

:rofl:@BoogerMan I love how little it takes to kick your GAS into gear. I'll be anxious to hear what you think of it when you get it! I'd actually posted about the $0 pieces on there in (I think) the cheap high quality bubbler thread, and ended up getting a $0 gb-187 and a $5 j-hook, also with the full expectation of an email coming soon and a price adjustment. That was four days ago and I haven't heard a peep yet. I'm not stressing so I'll give em a few more days, but then I'll email them and ask about my order. I'll be interested in how your order with them goes in general. I will likewise update as to what happens with mine.

I honestly had thrown this piece up not to suggest it as-is (it's a bit pricey any way), but more to explore the concept. Thank you for the function video, as it confirmed what I suspected which is that it doesn't vortex. Looking at the angle at which the three drain tubes come together I completely understand why. I really love the concept though and don't see why it couldn't be pretty easily re-engineered to vortex properly. I, for one, think three vortexes draining simultaneously in an incycler would be about the most badass piece I can think of :rockon: Anyone else??

Yea I'm jealous of @grdwaste who got his so early, although when i get mine I'll post up what height it is to make sure that you got the taller one. Currently left beijing and is en route, should be pretty quick considering I live in the city that it will go to from the airport. Also, @grdwaste , what are your initial impressions?
Edit: also thoughts on the height of the smaller pillar? personally I thought it would be a bit shorter, others?

That's peanuts guys, go buy an epicvape product and you can get two free stickers and a fucking jet! Plus they are only one reward point. Heck, get two while they are in stock...

Puck shaped perc could be cool, I tried to use percs from models Steven already makes to keep it simpler.

I wouldn't mind some color work, but I'm not too sure how we could come up with something everyone would like...

I love the little virus balls on the beer knockoff I picked up a while back, but there was a few people that hated it.

I'm not the biggest fan of rasta themed pieces, some love 'em.

Unless it's just a small accent like a lip or base wrap, I'd think most work would limit the number of people interested?

Also super jealous... I've never waited longer or been more anxious for a china piece to arrive than the damn FC-710.
