DHgate would be your cheapest option but for more local (USA) glass dealers are Thick Ass Glass.com, Smokecartel.com, and Retroactivesmokeshop.com are some of the dealers I've bought from.
Great, thanks for the info. Another quick question - do you recommend getting a bubbler/bong that has a 18mm or a 14mm joint? I have an adaptor for both sizes, but I'm wondering if there is a benefit to getting a glass piece that has 18mm as opposed to 14mm for use with a vaporizer.
Thanks
Thanks

In my opinion, I prefer 18mm for greater airflow. However depending on the size and function of your rig, you may not need 18mm. If it's a decent size rig that you need to clear in one hard pull, 18mm will benefit you more. If it's a small oil rig you'll be fine with 14mm.
Not like it makes a huge difference though, but since I've bought 18mm for years I don't really need to buy adapters so that's another reason for me sticking to 18.

i have searched a good amount but still can not find a cheap 12"-14" Straight Shooter Tube very similar to the YQ by sunshinestore. Its just that the YQ is only 10" tall. Ice pinch is acceptable but no splash guards please. if anyone could provide me a link it would be much appreciated as i have had no luck with finding. any circ/tree downstem sellers too?
also this looks very nice. do you have any other pieces you could compare the drag to?

Just bought the FC-UFO. Long over due haha
What size whip/tubing (ID) should i get to replace the one that comes with it?
Or should i get another whip/elbow/mouthpiece combo e.g like the one below ?

I am looking for a cheap setup to pair with my cloud Evo and was hoping some of you folks could help me out, give some suggestions or point me in the right direction.
Initially I would like something simple that will team up well with my Cloud Evo, would also like to have something that would work decent for dabs or even burning flower if it comes to that (probably wouldn't).
Travel friendly is a plus too. What I am Really looking for is a setup that will be able to catch the oil or 'reclaim' so that I can retrieve it with ease without the use of any solvents. That would be really awesome and is one of the main reasons I want another piece to use with the cloud as I only have one glass piece to use as of now and that's the OG shower-cap hydratube.
Dh Gate as a LOT of new and interesting pieces of glass since I've last checked them out, but I am still intrigued by the D020 series.
Ok, so I've picked these two out
The d020-d Bubbler : I know there are various versions of this, I would love if someone could compare and give me suggestions on the pro's and cons of each one, or what would work best in my situation.
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/d020-d-bubbler-glass-water-percolator-smoking/187214099.html
I also found this, Would this work to catch a good amount of reclaim : http://www.dhgate.com/store/product...371024985.html?recinfo=1,5,1#cpspd-1-5|null:5
I don't know if this adapter will be able to clear the ridge of the d020 but I know something out there will work. I know using the evo on this setup I'll have to hold and support the weight of the Evo and not have it just suspended on its own; I don't think that would be an issue. My main concern is collecting most of the 'reclaim' with ease to dab with.
Any suggestions or comments would be much appreciated as I don't know a whole lot about glass.
I really like this one too- http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/sovereignty-glass-gline-to-imperial-18mm/270254463.html

Yes, I love it ! That's what I wanted for a long time : an easily cleanable glass set up ! I thought I would not use the ash catcher part, but I liked the fact I could see the vapor forming in it if put on the side. So for that matter I would have prefer a different mouthpiece.
Then I found out I really like the "barrel" perc in that small volume of water (ash catcher), so now I need to buy some 18MM jhook for that and get a new piece with a free barrel perc (it was cracked and broke on a simple light hit).
I'm looking at the rachet diffusion pump for that new piece, but I'm not sure yet ...

I would say the *drag* mostly resembles my David Goldstein Rooster Apparatus. It feels like a lot of filtration is going on but it maintains a high flow of air regardless. Little drag at all with lots of filtration, just like my Rooster.
I don't own a d020 but I do have a small oil rig with similar design and I can confirm those dropdowns with steep angle will not work, even with an 18mm extender. It barely doesn't clear the bottom of the dropdown due to the wide top of the rig. You will need this one instead + an 18mm male to 18mm female adapter to bring it away from that wide base.

Also, I made this video recently for that last rig you shared. It is the same exact one from the same dealer.

Here's an example of what I was talking about. Both pictures with the adapter. As you can see in the first picture it will not fit past half way because it hits the top of the rig. Without the adapter it wouldn't even go in. The second photo shows the only way it works. Unless the d020 has a smaller top (doesn't seem like it to me) I don't think it will fit either.
Also here is a video of another water test. I ordered all three in the same order but they arrived at different times. I have here 3 rigs all from HFY Glass. A faberge egg, straight fab and the G-line to Imperial I already showed. I did the same thing using the dropdown and nail to show function under a lot of restriction and then without it.

Dabs are vapor too!
I don't get all the interest in drop downs. For an enail, I could see it adding stability, as the heaver parts can sit lower, so the rig doesn't tip over. Or if you have expensive glass, and don't want to risk a nail getting stuck. But to "collect reclaim"? Basically you are just adding a condensing coil. Will it collect reclaim? Sure, at the expense of you getting to inhale it.

As you said, it protects the rig from excess heat but it just makes it easier to collect reclaim. Also helps keep your rig cleaner for longer periods of time. After one session, my rig looks clean while the dropdown looks like it's been through a lot.

A dropdown can also get your nail away from your face so you can see it when dabbing and don't burn your nose.

Yeah, but if you just get a smaller rig, with no drop down, you get to inhale all that vapor.
True. Never understood why so many rigs put the nail so close. I think something like this, or this, are just better designs. Better aesthetically too. I swear, kids are being introduced to dabbing, who think they need a dropdown, like a necessity, even when they don't have an enail.

If you plan on smoking the reclaim anyway, like myself, I don't mind it. I don't think the reclaim gets hot enough to vaporize and enter your rig. After numerous hits back to back at high temp the reclaim liquefies but it doesn't vaporize. I would suggest new smokers they only need a dropdown if they intend to keep their rigs clean or if they intend to collect reclaim. Other than that you won't need it unless you have a really small oil rig and a big nail in your face when hitting it.Yeah, but if you just get a smaller rig, with no drop down, you get to inhale all that vapor.

Okay, not wanting to start an argument here, but......reclaim starts out as vapor....that you want to inhale. That's the point. Getting the concentrate into your system. When vapor condenses, it becomes a solid again.
The longer and cooler the path the vapor takes, the more it condenses. Condensing your vapor before it enters your rig is fine, if that floats your boat. That's why rigs were originally quite small, with golf ball sized chambers.

Unless you collect reclaim out of your rig each and every time, you are wasting oil anyway. Even small sized rigs collect reclaim inside the chamber/water, that is inevitable. Most people don't collect the reclaim in their small rigs because they don't know the process of drying it out, they would rather just clean the rig and waste it.
You will have reclaim no matter the size of your dabs or rigs. Dropdowns just make it easier to collect it and keep rigs cleaner. It's not necessary but it's also not counterintuitive as you may think.

I think we're getting off course here. The concentrates for noobs thread seems like a good place, if anyone wants to continue.

It's ok, I don't think this is an issue that needs resolve. Just preference, isn't it?

Yes, just mentioned the other thread in case anyone wants to discuss it further. This thread is for glass

I bought a 710 whip, but was rarely able to get a good dab. Low temps are nice, but it felt like I was just taking whispy mixes of my wax mixed with whatever the last wax I smoked. And then I tied the coil too tight to make it hotter and it cracked the dish
With the Gimido stuff getting so cheap I'll probably just grab one of those. I personally find my D020D to be a pretty low-reclaim device compared to some other stuff I've had, but it's not really a concern for most people that smoke enough wax to get a lot of claim.
I wonder if steven would ever consider making the FC-UFO in an even larger size. At that point it would resemble a hookah

Did your 710 whip have the 'dab cap' top on it? I think that is the key to getting serious dabs on it. I have been lusting over the liger banger for a while now, but cant talk myself into moving on from the 710 whip as of yet.
On another note, my faux FTK from Seller2020 just processed through chicago and is on its way to me now. Hopefully I will have a full report on it sometime next week.

Yeah, it has the ceramic cap with the hole on top if I understand correctly. I pulled one or 2 awesome dabs on it but honestly, the nail experience isn't for me. It's harder for me to concentrate on real life when I'm primarily using wax, it has significantly higher addictive properties IMHO
