Cheap High Quality Bubbler

You Must Unlearn, What You Have Learned...
Got my FC (3 digits here?) :hmm: I'm a fan, and it matches great with a log! Combined with my UFO it's very entertaining. I can use it two ways with the UFO, since these two pieces offer so many possibilities. I used my LSV and UD w/ separate perc setup and it was like an instant blastoff! :freak: I've used it like a normal ash catcher attached to UFO but by far my favorite is attached to the mouthpiece of the UFO to use separate vapes with separate percs. Though the latter is top heavy and requires support. Here are a few pics to help explain. :rockon:

The FC-278. Already have my eye on that one. Perhaps two of them. :brow:
Already have some creative ideas in mind. :science: Can you tell me anything about the cap pieces? Or how well the bottom one stays on? I do like the reinforced posts that keep the duel adapters from breaking off from it's own weight.

Do it, do it! Can't wait to see that setup!:drool:
The caps joint has girth so finding a proper clip might be a hassle. It most definitely will pop off with a bump or the occasional drop gong freak out. I haven't had any problems with it when I've used it by myself. However with multiple people it fell off quite a few times. Damn clumsy friends! I just put it on and give it a slight turn and it stays good for me. Same way I use my 14mm stopper with my 4way Claisen inverted.

So I think I was the first person to buy Kathy's newest Fab Beaker, and I'm pretty ok with what showed up at my door today.

The perc looks kind of shitty but works fine. Some of the slits are unevenly spaced(see above) and some of the slits are chipped/scratched, but that's China glass for you. I have a Straight fab from Steven coming in tomorrow or the next day so looking forward to that also. Overall pretty satisfied.

@SSVUN~YAH. DHgate is on vacation and I'm on a rigid budget at the moment. But I will get things in motion at some point.
A 1/4 turn works in many cases, if you don't wiggle the connection too much. I use silicone tube strips for some grippage with unconventional setups. Understood what you ment by the 1/4 turn and your Claisen. But also another random point. That Claisen with that bend would minimize restriction.

I have come up with ways to connect my portables to an 18mm adapter with some silicone magic. Any of those could be fashioned to work well on the bottom adapter. If I say get tired of playing with the cap joints. Might place something inside the cap joints to make the inside volume a little smaller. a more direct vapor path, etc.

I really like that the perc is actually part of the base. that being the problem that caused my last one to break down.:rip: The top is female, so no awkward things to break off during all that inserting. Perfect for portable vapes that can be used upside down. 18mm pathway to the base. :nod: I even noticed the fitting is recessed a little.
Love at first sight. I tell ya.:drool: Please tell me more thoughts on this model, since DHgate is on vacation anyway. Would buying two of these allow all the combinations that I am imagining?:science: Any others that might fit my criteria?

I can try to get a vid up tomorrow, it looks a lot like the action on the video posted by Yang Lan on Youtube, just with a smaller piece. Draw is fairly smooth, I wish the perc in mine was a bit lower(it's a few mm higher than shown in the display photos)but it's not too bad at all. I use an enail with it so I'm never hitting it hard enough to get water in my mouth but if you really slam it you'll get a drink for sure. One negative I have just from handling it for a few dabs is that the base of the beaker feels absolutely paper thin. I've never broken any of my glass but this thing just feels very fragile around the bottom. My straight fab should be here tomorrow or the day after so I can see which one I like more for dabbing.

You've hit on most points, I will have to try the silicone strips. I also pondered a plug of sorts to reduce the longer vapor path. The base is very thick, about as thick as the UFO base. The recessed fitting is perfect with my reducer as well as my 18mm attachments.
@SSVUN~YAH i hear ya, but the idea of starting a pm conversation with every person I would like a link from isn't really appealing. If that's the policy, I'm not going to complain anymore, but it's important they know what users think also.

The dual vape setup rocks btw.
I see your point and thanks! :rockon:

14mm Straight Fab from Steven came in today. The one I got is pretty good, the slits on the perc are fairly evenly spaced and sized and the glass feels very solid and thick. Definitely a bit smaller than I expected which is good since I'll be using it for dabs primarily. The Fab holes are a little wonky and the center Fab section isn't perfectly cylindrical but it doesn't affect function which is all that really matters. Here's a pic next to Kathy's Fab beaker.

Also put up a couple vids of the function on Kathy's Fab beaker.
