How bout FC-420? Also, do you think the preorder is bc of the upcoming holiday season shutdown? That's my guess at least.
Possibly. That, and to gauge interest before making a bunch of every piece. Not really sure exactly what his plan is...
Copy the designs that they copied from the original artist. Funniest things I've read all morning.
He won't let the perspective buyers know in the chance that someone can copy a piece that is already quite popular and could easily be obtained from elsewhere, seams odd to me.
The CCG pyrology knockoff vid didn't help me, but @GSH sure did! The Taurus knockoff won't help either. Even if they fudge the water level on a properly made piece that wouldn't help it sell, just the opposite IMO. Though I do agree a proper piece with correct levels a vid can increase sales ten fold.
What is the name of the original piece in the first picture?Would anyone be interested in a piece like this?
No name I know of. It came from Kathy
No idea on the FC-187 mouthpiece, but I could check.
It's about 4cm or 1.5" edge to edge on the v.1
What do you guys think of something like this?
I used to be big fan of beaker bottom pieces way back, but haven't had one in a while. Got the itch last night to look around for one with a fixed stem and came across this one. Really like the dewar style joint, but hate the price and the mega zob clown label.
There a few nice beakers on Jhanpixels Ioffer. Here.http://www.ioffer.com/selling/jhanpixel?page=1What do you guys think of something like this?

Post got me thinking, and I think a lot of why my US bubbler gets such little splashback is also due to the top of the can being rounded, in addition to a really good perc placement and choice. That being said, my bubbler has the MP hole significantly higher than the gb-187 sidecar (bubbler is pretty much a circ-turbine with a slightly slim and rounded top and removeable MP) which may play a factor in my results. (US glass is generally more QC and tested). Another thing of note on my piece is that the downstem flares out about halfway down the can, which I think adds to the stacking (might be of use for future pieces) and really helps control the pull of the piece, a feature I actually haven't seen on other bubblers aside from my own. (this section/flare is also worked, which might be why it isn't commonly seen)Need more pixels,
Do my eyes deceive me or does it look like a rounded top? That would be glorious!!!!!
So, do you have the new prototype to show us?

I already asked for a better picture. It was like 1" tall before I enlarged it, and it was just as blurry looking lolstill waiting on Stevens response. Having to wait till they started preparing for Chinese New Year to fix the bad neck on the last prototype, is making the process much slower. He told me he was sending a sample picture to me the day I posted that I should have one. He still hasn't.
See the green in the quote (explanation). We should get to see the prototype before CNY.... Hopefully it is perfect, and it can go into mass production from there. We'll see.
