I would also like to see some hydratubes. Has anyone contacted him about these/know anything?

Vapexhale's are TAXED to the max .. i smh every time i see one for sale
I was planning on contacting steven about some hydratubes once the devastator is out :)

I figure hydratubes are still kinda niche category of water pipe (then again, nectar collectors are getting popular, and a Hydratube is essentially the same thing...)

Almost useless for combusters, and even vapers need a vape that can hold bud upside down.

Once the devastator is out hydratubes can essentially be a complementary accessory for it :)

If anyone is interested in getting a devastator clone, could you please stop by either the

Open Source Glass Thread

Or

Custom Glass Ideas/Designs Thread

And chime in on how you think the design is going.

Cheers :cheers:

Oops, my bad, didn't mean to double post :(

I've had the FC-Donut for about a week now. I'm still waiting for a banger to come in the mail but I've had a few dabs through it with a drop down. A bit awkward with the drop down seeing as it already has the joint pretty far from the mouth piece. It does give good flavour but not as good as the FC-710.

The glass is thin and the mouth piece is a little out of line from the joint and perc. The joint also leans back towards the piece a few degrees. No marks or scratches and no bubbles in the welds.

It came well packaged. Box inside a box with styrofoam between them. The piece was bubble wrapped and had newspaper to fill in the gaps. There was a fragile sticker on the box too.

I tried it with the solo but wasn't a fan. Not enough volume to milk it really well.

Where this piece excels for me is with the lotus. I had to carve a little dent in the bottom of the lotus cap to clear the stem. It wouldn't be an issue if the joint was flat/level. The mouth piece is in the perfect position to see the pan when heating.

I think it's overpriced but I'm still happy with it. I will probably use it as a travel piece as its a good all arounder and smallish. It will fit in a medium size safe case with my HI, battery powered VK, Lotus and accessories, and a banger and dab supplies for an awesome off grid weekend.

Thank you so much for that review! And it seems to fit the Lotus just perfect. Might have to buy that thing now :\

Popular pieces: fc710, fc711, Fc 187 v2, d-cycler, Fc UFO, cmmen egg (my favorite egg: I have the ccg egg and kathys egg too), Fc 186, gb 194. I think these are the reliable pieces that have been around awhile, and I have them all. I will be selling most of my glass on the classifieds soon. Too many pieces in my closet.
What do you like better about the cmmen egg vs the ccg? I actually just sold my CCG egg off because of a few crooked parts. I was gonna re order and hope this next one came out a tad straighter at the joint. But if cmmen has better construction maybe I'll try that store.

Also anyone got n opinion on hymenquartz 4mm bangers? I'm thinking 3mm is plenty thick, and 4mm might take to long to heat and cool off. Hell 3mm maybe too much, no? yes?

I have the cmeng egg in the lavender color. It is solidly constructed, and the function is on point, but it is far from perfect. The perc is a little high off the bottom, the top half is misshapen/misaligned with the bottom in one area near the joint, and the section of downstem inside the egg is super bent. That said, it's still my preferred piece for dabbing, ahead of both the kathy egg and d-cycler .

The major issue with the hydratubes is that VapeXhale owns the patent on it and the founder is a long time member of the forum. I remember awhile back @stickstones said he was going to try to ask Sheibo about it, not sure if he got a chance to or not.

I like my cmmen egg a lot more than my ccg. It's constructed better, especially placement of perc.

Damn thats a real bummer. If its too complicated dont worry about explaining, but how can some glass companies be copied (toro, mobius, hitman, etc) and some can not (vapexhale)

i would have figured mobius and toro would do a similar patent like vapexhale
 
Thanks guys, just pulled the trigger on the fc 710 and a glass female to female adapter... Altogether cost £28 shipped to the UK, which is ridiculously cheap (I guess that's how they get us hooked with chronic GAS).

The reviews of the fc 710 sound like exactly what I'm after, and I saw an awesome slo mo vid of it in action, so thanks @Frederick McGuire for pointing me in the right direction.

Now I wonder what's going to turn up first, my glass from China, or my Grasshopper from never never land .
Peace, il let u know what I think!
Oh man, if you don't love the FC-710 you'll probably be the first who didn't!
 
speaking of Hitman There's a big controversy of Hitman being called. Out by Steve of SOV for using china for the prodo glass
I heard that as well, you never know really until the smoke clears but that would not surprise me one bit. Silikka does the same thing with some of their pieces. That's why they actually have a black logo on some and a gold on others. Well hopefully this is not new to you if you own one with a gold/yellow label it's made in China. This info is straight out of one of there reps mouth at a cannabis event. But I am interested to see how it plays out for Hitman. Someone does have sundae blueprints imo. It's funny how fast those came out and how well most seem to function. Really Hitmans's is probably the most knocked off on Dhgate overall not that I have counted.

Man I really can't wait to try it out!! I havnt tried any vapes through water without a darn silicone whip involved. I noticed it made the flavour a bit funky the first time I used it, and accidental combustions havnt helped.

I've taken to hitting the orbiter dry, but find taking big milky hits is too harsh without water... I know the flvour is great, but how's the FC 710 at cooling? Please say it's awesome!!!
Peace

AGREED! His pieces are definitely the most cloned/functional pieces on DH Gate.

A lot of sellers already have the new straight stack and sundae stack rigs and like you mentioned, they all look awesome! If this turns out to be true it will more than likely ruin Hitman for good

cybrguy,
So my buddy ordered me 2 pieces as a gift from Steven. FC-710 came in 3 (2'x2') sheets of bubble wrap, with a 3'x3' piece all around it. It was VERY well cushioned. Great work on this glass, like my last one. He also ordered me an FC-mini that kicks ass! Cake bong was a great wedding gift, lol! Good workmanship (I hear some of Steven's stuff has crappy workmanship on the slits... Mine were all good, the perc is fused to the floor, the joint support was solid). Honestly, a killer little bubbler. Couldn't be more happy with it. The bottom of the box was all styrofoam (like 2" deep) and the top had a nice helping of shipping/butcher paper. Bomb proof. No clue if he has different help on different days or seething, cause Ive gotten 2 absolutely perfect shipments twice in a row. Maybe it's the sample size, maybe it's that it barely has to change hands to get to me.

Look what just popped up on Steven's YouTube, the Devastator clone:


Looks pretty good

OK, so I don't read in here much anymore as it is too hard on my credit card. But....

Has there been any action on the Devastator? That will likely get to the cc when released...


Oops. Just saw this so I'm headed over there...

heres a vid that was posted on it
