My new Klein incycler pairs awesome with the volcano :tup: and tell me it doesn't look like it cost me some real $$$$ thank you DHgate :rockon:

EDIT: damn damn damn! the klein has a tiny pinhole on the underside of the return tube. I can seal it with some silicon but I'm going to contact Kathy for a replacement because all the water leaks out in about an hour.

Woke up with some really sharp lower back pain, ground up some sweet kush (nice indica), filled a thick bag, no more back pain :)

The mouthpiece on this thing is really interesting too. Nothing like I've seen. It's rounded like the standard bong or bent neck, but it was flattened where you put your lips (with a lathe I'd assume) so it doesn't feel like the standard rounded mp. Tommy likey :rofl:

@ChiefKeefe I am happy to hear that at least one person on here has hit the real thing. I personally have not but I have hit a real SG peyote pillar. I think it is important that at least one of us has used a design if we are going to get a copy of it. To make sure that it is made right and to get an accurate comparison, like how @Monsoon helped with the diffusion pump. It would not be near as good without him and we would be unable to verify how closely it functions to the real one.

I totally understand that the recycling chamber was not intended to vortex, just recycle the water. It is supposed to recycle similar to the SG recycler. I think that vortex is more of a fun visual thing more than it effects function so the lack of vortex doesn't really matter. It is just the finicky water levels and getting water in the mouth which seem to be the main faults of this design. I agree that if they had not made such a large indent in the recycle chamber it would not have as much issues

That looks like terribly good and unproductive fun. Those damn bubbles sound so relaxing you want to hear more when you are already completely spent. One more..

Does anyone know if it's possible for me to be ripped off by them sending me a broken item or not sending it at all? Just wanted to know if anyone knows hahaha but here's a link

If it is from the site that I posted then from what I have read on another board they are legit, but probably best not to use the nail they provide, and get a proper US made titanium one perhaps

From the DHgate policy. The seller does not get paid until you approve the completion of the transaction. If they sent you something that was not what you ordered. Or it came broken, I think DHgate would mediate if needed (Kind of like Ebay or paypal)

Hope this helps

What do you expect when someone posts something like: " I would pay $100 for An Egg from Steven". They are watching. For me $50 is the top. They aren't doing the innovation. Search for "glass bong" on DHGate then sort by "price highest to lowest". There are eggs there for well over $400. If they think we will pay, the prices will stay high.

I want to agree with this but Steven discloses certain private things to me some times and one of them is that it cost him about $80 per egg so considering the minimal markup I think the price is more than fair. Obviously other sellers have figured out how to make it easier or for less since Kathy is able to sell them for $50 but I don't think Steven price is set by greed or following this forum

The egg and price were just an example. My post has more to do with dhgate sellers watching these threads and seeing overzealous members posting " I'm willing to pay $xxx" , or " They could charge so much more".
That the prices will increase, is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Well I can for sure agree with that. The people trying to sell $400 dollar eggs are quite ambitious. We should see how true this is and start posting a bunch that we won't spend over $60 for anything and see if prices fluctuate

Thanks. I actually ordered the 29cm clear egg from CCG about 2 days ago so I should be getting it soon.

I honestly think Steven is lying about that. I really doubt it would cost them $80 per egg when CCG sells them for $50/$60 each. The only difference I've seen from Steven's original egg model was the perc. Matrix style perc (steven) vs Bird cage (ccg).

I think Steven may be the person supplying these American shops with the Quantum Faberge Eggs. They seem pretty close to the original sample that he made a few months back.

China is stepping their game up! Too bad it's $113...

Steven, CCG, and Kathy are all different shops with different workers. They have different skill levels and possibly different pay rates for their workers. The price for Steven egg comes from the fact that they are only able to make a handful a day. It is obvious that Kathy and CCG have some decently skilled lathe slaves and a large facility if they are able to produce eggs so cheap and in such large numbers. It is kind of obvious that Steven blowers are not as good at complex designs because they can't make a single vortexing recycler and have you seen all the failed Torus attempts? I talked to Steven about fab eggs WAY before Kathy released hers. If he was able to mass produce them at an affordable rate it would have happened a long time ago. He does a great job with more simple designs and offers them at a fair price.

Either Steven is selling some of his unused products or they share workers.

Here is his first gen FC-187, complete with the extra high perc and the ripples in the downstem.

Unless this store bought one and is using the one the bought to copy and use for stock photos. Which I wouldn't put it pass them, :lol:, a copy of a copy.

A copy of a copy is a good guess. Look at how many D020 copy popped up after the popularity of the original. They definitely copy each other regularly. Steven contacted me a couple weeks ago wanting to copy a popular ash catcher from Kathy lol. I told him to go for it because it was a good design and his store doesn't have any ash catchers available

Someone mentioned that the showerhead should be higher up - mine has maybe 5mm of space between the top of the showerhead and the bottom of the pillars.
I can't see much room for it to move, or if it would help all that much...

(Only thing I could think of for scale :lol: - the gap is approx 1/2 of the height of a small oil slick ball lid :lol:)

I'd rather use the pillar cycler than the mini pillar :2c:

I said it because in this pic it seems closer, but never had the real one on my hands :shrug:
