Cheap High Quality Bubbler

flotntoke

thoroughly vaped
Ok Guys,

So I just ordered an E Nano and this will be my first vape other than a cheap digital box vape that I never really liked tbh...but it was ok. Recently its been hitting me that with as much as I smoke daily...its just disturbing my health. Im in good shape and go to the gym but I've been realizing that smoking has been holding me back in life. I don't want to cough daily...I don't want to have the weak feeling in my chest from the smoke. I just want the effect and to enjoy the flavor. I wanna be efficient and healthy

What I could use help with:

I want something under 50 and something that won't take forever to get here (New York). Out of what I have seen so far I like the GB-187-S...also im left handed so...but since I am assuming the guy is in China and it would take a long time to get here, what are my best options for something good that will ship quick. I am open to all kinds of ideas..What I am mainly looking for is big smooth hits...

Looking forward to having a proper vaping experience!!!

Thanks in advance

I think the GB-187-S would be a great pairing with the nano. Sidecar is nice because it keeps the nano from being right at the tip of your nose and allows you to peak down while pulling and monitor bubbling. nano is such a flavorful vape and lower diffusion (less bubbling) should keep more flavor in your hit. Has a simple matrix type perc that won't rob much flavor and can be easily controlled with draw (especially since you should be able to see it in use). Also a good sized chamber and since it is a dewar joint (top center) you can leave the nano on and it will remain stable.

If you get this one instead, FC-187 V2, you can choose which side you want the mouthpiece on. It is essentially the same piece from a different vendor/blower. Reports are it is a bit thicker, too. Pretty much same price (think actually a couple bucks cheaper today).

Not sure if you can find either of these in particular from a US reseller. But, there are others and as @Ratchett mentions above you pay a premium but get your piece quicker. If it were me, I'd go with one of the 187 sidecars and just deal with the couple - 3 week wait. These are both pretty popular with users here in this thread and either is less than $50 on DHGate.

^ Thank you, and thanks to everyone else for the quick replys.

The only remaining question I have is, is how does the matrix perc compare between the FC-187 v2 and the gb-187-s, does anyone know?

You pretty much sold me on the Gb-187-s...the only remaining question I have is, is how does the matrix perc compare between the FC-187 v2 and the gb-187-s?

Not sure if it was an older model but a few posts back I was reading that the matrix perc isn't as well made on the FC-187(v2?).

I just got my FC-187v2 a few days back and was pretty amazed by the quality for the price. The perc on mine is perfect all the slits have been flame treated, all fire and I cant fault it and the glass is THICK!! I measured the glass to the can at approx 6-7mm

FC-187v2 would be slightly thicker glass (maybe 1mm thicker) and has a slightly wider mouthpiece than the GB-187-S.

I had the FC-187v1 which had a crappy perc (mine was just a bad one from the bunch). My GB-187-S was perfect - I use it every day. If the FC-187v2 has a better perc (which it seems it does), it's be pretty much a tie between the two pieces (aside from glass thickness and mouthpiece).

I just gave my FC-187 away to a friend last night, she loves it.

Might be someone on here with both, but not sure. Would be kind of odd because they are both essentially the same - just from different sources. Will say I had an FC-187 V1 that the perc fired well on. Problem was that it sat too high in the can and was hard for me to use without getting splashed in the mouth. Friend who I gifted it to loves it though!

Can't believe I forgot this one above!! There is a similar version with a more rudimentary perc available from a US blower on iOffer. The jhanpixel circ UFO. I have one and it is a very nice piece. Biggest differences are that it is US made and the perc is more wide open and has less diffusion. Would be great if the slits were flame polished, but looks like from pics they still aren't. Mine hits not quite as purringly smooth as my GB-187 (straight neck), but is definitely not chuggy at all. It doesn't seem to knock flavor down quite as much either. It is listed at $150 (free ship), but you could probably get it for an offer of $135. jhan is a member on FC. So if you offer, be sure to mention you heard about his piece here. A good bit more expensive, but US blown and will probably get to you much quicker. Is is a solid, heavy piece. Thicker and heavier than anything I have from China.

They are very similar, but slightly different. Here's a picture of 2 FC-187s and 1 GB-187. I have a FC-187 southpaw, but haven't unboxed it yet for a pic. Maybe today (if I can find the box..... moving sucks).

Grenade perc has landed :)

Tracking says it shipped on 23/3, so 7 days to get to me :)
(I ordered my Kaite egg like 3 days before the grenade perc - that still hasn't shown up yet)

Seems like a pretty cool rig - as with goddamn everything on DHgate, I thought it'd be bigger :lol:, but it's nice :)

I opened up an after sale dispute with kathy today about my broken egg...
Approx 30 days ago she said she'd ship out my replacement egg in 6-10 days.
During that time I ordered some adapters, and told kathy I was happy for her to wait and ship my adapters along with the replacement egg.

My adapters arrived a few days ago but no egg with them.
I got some dorpdowns [sic] at the same time so figured the egg was with the dorpdowns...
Nope, no egg.
So I contacted kathy, and then no response for a few days...

Meh, I gave her ages to sort this, so dispute time (I'm asking for a full refund - but I really just want kathy to send out a replacement - assuming my dispute is successful I'm just gonna be re-buying the egg from kathy anyway :lol:)

My baby layer cake arrived. Ordered on the 2nd and got it on the 16th down here in sunny Australia. It was inside a foam box that was wrapped in bubble wrap. No chance of breaking.

The quality is pretty good. A few small bubbles in the welds but barely noticeable. Almost too small to use but gives great flavour.

For under $15AUD I'm extremely happy :D
How's it holding up? Do you have any pics of it?

Glad the grenade piece turned out okay, any comments on how it hits compared to other pieces? Hopefully mine will arrive this week with any luck.

I pair it with my 10mm quartz banger from kathy (same store)

It's more like a standard tube than the kathy egg, but It's nice :)

I've only had 1 dab with it so far so its a bit early to tell...

Couldn't help myself and ordered a pillarcycler (from growhighglass) and dcycler (from smokeshop420) :D

I see you guys have had a few pieces arrive broken. I just received my replacement for my FC-187.. the new design with the sidecar mouthpiece. The mouthpiece was broken off completely. Steven has offered to send me a replacement if I can get him a pic. Therein lies the problem.

For some reason, when I hit the 'browse' button to upload the pic into the reply, I can't get it to load. It opens up a new window to choose from, but when I hit 'open,' nothing happens. Have any of you had this problem? And if so, how did you get it resolved?
