It probably is too late now to avoid CNY delays. I'm looking forward to the big Matrix pillar myself. I ordered the FC-710 and FC-187 at the same time from the guy that's making the pillars but they're not even stateside yet. Hoping the ones I get are as nice as some of the others here.
That one is interesting but too small for me. The 8-9" pieces are the smallest I can stand using. The Dcycler would be perfect if it was 15" or so. I don't think I would use another piece ever. (ok maybe not EVER
)
Here's a little action shot of the Dcycler with the e-nano for anyone that is on the fence...
I have gotten better with the vortex since this session. The key is a very hard initial pull. That gets the water swirling correctly and it usually makes the drain a little slower as well.
