Hey if anybody is interested in a soveiregnty peyote pillar jfriendly.com has a few of them in stock. Looking online they seem to be the only place left with any in stock because nobody really knows about that site. They are amazing they ship same day, i just got the last new stereo matrix available anywhere from them!

And NO Im not advertising for them. I was just so pleased with their customer service and shocked they still have a few pillars left so figured someone who can afford one and has been looking will be very happy :-)

Forgot to mention that the downdrop and female-to-female adapters I got from Kathy are pretty decent. The lower joint on the dd is a little slanted. The banger however was broken at the weld as it was packaged poorly and on the outside of the rest of the bubble blob. It is also super-thin. Not really interested in contacting Kathy based on the experiences others have had. I value my time more than the $8 I spent on the banger. I'm forever trying to make lemonade from lemons and I was able to use the broken banger as a diy whip adapter. Since it broke right at the bucket I can slip some hi-temp silicone 1/4 ID hose over perfectly. Slapped a drip tip on the other end and now I can water filter from DNA 40 mod. Pretty good use for the ski mask/puckcycler that I don't think I'll use otherwise.

Maybe it can be used as a nectar collector

I know Yingmin is interested in our suggestions for new/popular pieces.

He keeps a close eye on things around here. I have a feeling he has seen the success Steve has had with fc designs and thus started producing a side car gb-187.

He is a real nice guy and super easy to chat to so don't hesitate to contact him with your ideas.

Hey everyone,

Kaite2012 (her IG is kaite_wang) - aka the Fab egg lady that never ended up shipping mine because a large buyer bought all of them.
http://www.dhgate.com/store/products/19923165.html

She asked me what pieces are popular. I said:
Any product made by Mothership Glass, Gordo Scientific Glass, Sovereignty Glass, or Hamm's Waterworks Glass.

I also gave her a link to this thread.

Anyways, it sounds like she may want to produce some pieces for us as well.

Any must haves that you guys want me to send her (besides what Steven is already producing for us)?
I figured the egg was off since I implied I was willing to wait but she basically said just get the refund. I have 2 other eggs on order so not a huge loss. I also politely brought up the fake tracking number issue and I don't it will be an issue in the future.

The Swiss Klein piece would be a good starting piece.

Someone should draw up a sketch and talk to yingmin
Basically, just take a pic of the VXL devastator...

Devastator, but worth a matrix instead of shower head...

Hell, if they made a devastator clone (base piece, and A/C) I'd buy multiple sets of downstems (assuming it would come with matrices for example, I'd def buy a set of showerhead, and a set of tree downstems too)

The thing I like about the devastator, it's modular (removable mouthpiece with an 18mm male joint - originally for hydratubes, but would be easily adapted for use with a whip like the FC ufo. AND easily swappable percs), and offers a lot of versatility both for users and sellers.

(I realize this may not be ideal for sellers to have multiple SKUs, but bear with me...)
They can sell just the ash catcher component (I'm sure many people would love a relatively simple a/c like the devastators), just the base component (it'd be a nice rig in its own), a combo of both (true devastator package), and it gives them the space to make differing types of percs to slap on the end of a downstem, assuming they'd fit inside the 40mm joint.

Straight off the bat a showerhead, or a tree perc could be made relatively simply, and further down the line matrix downstems, diffusion pump downstems, and other percs I'm not thinking of could be made :)

It could also be a handy jumping off point for getting China made hydratubes...

From a users point of view, it allows many differing levels of diffusion (just the base, base + A/C, base + A/C + hydratube, base + hydratube, base + multiple A/Cs, just the A/C with a J-hook), and could be a really great beginners piece, or a great addition to a collection...

Yeah, I really want them to make a devastator :lol:

special like everyone else
Dropdown adapters I got from dkglobe are janky and crooked. Of the 4 pieces, the ONE that isn't obviously crooked has a lame female joint that rockers on my FC-710 male joint. Of the 3 crooked pieces, one's 14mm female joint is bored too wide to fit any male joint with a collar. Price and shipping were great though.

For $20 I got one OK adapter that doesn't even "drop"... the joint is raised 20mm. Cannot recommend dkglobe.

Yeah their drop downs are very hit or miss. I had the same experience but that is why they are so cheap. They are far from perfect.

I have found GreenBuddhaShop has some decent quality ones. I have the 14mm male to 14mm female and the 18mm male to 18mm female. I use these the most out of any of my drop downs. The GBS ones are still made in China from my understanding but they are better quality than dhgate and only take a few days to arrive at your home if you're in the U.S. $25 each or 2 for $40. More than dhgate but less than American made.

Hey guys just wanted everyone to know that the FC-MINI is now available for sale. There is even an option for extra quartz swing if you feel like you want a backup

Edit: I would also like to mention that our fellow FC member @Erwin will be offering these style rigs for a similar price so if you don't want to wait on the slow boat from China or worry about the black hole you should hit him up for a mini. He is also offering honey buckets and bangers shipped quick at fair prices

I'm just curious for everyone interested in this mini:

Is there any reason you'd want a dedicated piece like this, vs the exact same perc/can setup with a GG joint, and a honeybucket on top?

The only thing I can think of is that this version would be a little more compact.
Just seems like a waste of potential to me...

You Must Unlearn, What You Have Learned...
Here is the new sample of the drop down donut beaker. Besides the joint sticking out a bit far from the can I really like it. What do you guys think?

That Egg looks sweet but that joint should be named after one of the three rice krispie elves.
^ I still have the same feeling as I did about those fabs. ^

Wow my 711 was mailed on March 31st and its cleared customs and is in my city now. Of course the post office around here is literally the worst so I still expect it to take several more days to actually arrive and I'm unexpectedly going out of town for a while in a couple of days. Hope I can catch it before I leave.

Got my UFO in today. Really nice piece, nice sized can and retains flavour well. A little bit of water pools in the bottom of the mouthpiece joint but no worries there really.

Very happy with the purchase and would recommend for flavour for flowers :)
