Sweet. Out of those three do you have a favorite? I like the G-line Imperials design and function and the placement of the female gong would work well for me, though it looks like a rather big piece.. I really like the small volume of the faberge egg and its design looks workable with my intended use.

Decided to order a Mothership mini copy from the vendor "hookahbong" for $25 as I have been wanting one for a while. Messaged them and after a bit of language barrier stuff I am pretty sure it doesn't come with a cap despite WITH CAPS being in the title of the ad. Still kinda been wanting to test my theory that Steven is just a reseller and doesn't manufacture anything so I went ahead and ordered anyways. I would link to it but the link will just be edited out so just search mothership mini on dhgate and it should come up.
Then I ordered a set of 3 caps http://www.dhgate.com/product/glass-carb-cap-fitting-for-the-quartz-honey/240301491.html as a review of the same item from a different vendor (sungange I think) said that they fit on the fc-mini. Went with these over the sungange ones as this ships epacket and the other one you had to order 5. If it doesn't work out I will prob message Steven to see if I can get just a cap. Stevens caps are a bit more like an OFZ but also look a bit jankier.
All told I saved ~$27USD ($37 CAD) compared to just buying from Steven and will have two extra caps (assuming they fit). This is a good lesson about communicating with vendors before ordering though as assuming an ad that says WITH CAPS would include a cap would be a normal one to make, but in this case is likely vendors not knowing English and just copying the title of another ad.

I would have to say the Fab Egg. I love the contrast between the black and the white smoke, it has a nice chug to it almost sounds like an aquarium if that makes any sense. Since it's mostly hollow it kind of echoes when the water is moving around.
These are the pieces I'm considering for use with a vaporizer (Minivap).
Not many are bubblers but they're from DHGate. Could use some advice as to which do you think would actually come close to the design, and whether they're actually good designs.
I just got a mobius glass piece, and now I don't want to pay that much again. I got the Matrix perc, which I have found to be AMAZING. But these are the pieces I've been considering.

I'm not really sure what I should be looking for though in a good design for vaping.
I want smooth clean hits that don't wreck my throat. My throat has become more and more sensitive after vaping and feeling cool vapors.

For vaping flower, what you want is lots of diffusion (bubbles). The more bubbles you have, the smoother and denser the hit. Warm water also helps with the dry throat, because of the extra moisture compared to room temperature water.
If any of those pipes has a water test video in the description, check them out to see which has better diffusion. If not, I think you'll likely be safe with any of the last 3 you posted, particularly the 2nd and 4th models.

Looks like I got Kathy'd again.. ordered something 10 days ago, got a tracking number next day, didnt update for about 8. I know its going to get stuck in Chinese New Year which is what I was trying to avoid. Not the end of the world but seems like its always something. Last piece I ordered from her showed up in 10 days.
OK hmm, and I looked everywhere for a video of the third nowhere to be found but similar double barrel recyclers seemed ok.
What makes you 2 and 4 vs 3? And Im leaning towards 4 due to matrix perc+ recycler to add onto the current matrix perk bong I have. But 2 looks nice because it's a little smaller. What makes you say two? I really don't get what's going on in designs like number 2.

Those pieces all look very busy, as compared to basic designs like most Mobius pieces.
What Mobius did you get, real or Chinese?
For inverting a vape onto glass, I much prefer a center of can inlet so vape is completely balanced/ centered. None pictured have that. Not a deal breaker but these all have vape hanging off the side
Vapor starts off about 600 degrees F LESS than combusted cannabis so only minimal cooling is needed IMO. All vapor is very very dry so moisturizing the dry vapor is much more important.
So, much smaller water pieces do the job fine.
Do you prefer:
maximum diffusion for smoother vapor but more taste is lost OR
maximum taste which comes from piece with minimal diffusion but it still can add moisture OR
where in this continuum ?
I find minimal diffusion for maximum taste works great for me, but everyone is different.
I have a sensitive throat / lungs but find a small piece with minimal diffusion adds plenty of moisture to make the vapor very very flavorful and very easy on the throat and lungs.
Again--what Mobius piece and try it so you know which way to go on the diffusion vs flavor scale
EDIT: abcd, I see your Mobius piece and your aim for maximum diffusion so I cannot help as I focus completely on the minimum diffusion/ max taste pieces.
I'm sure others will have great suggestions.

Real mobius glass from an authorized seller. Which was now looking back a ton of money but I didn't know. But I'm happy as mobius glass is making smaller pieces and this is a discontinued piece.
I have a probably 16 inch mobius strato glass that has a matrix perc in the middle.
This piece exactly actually. Maximum difussion is what I want. I have gotten a super sensitive throat now and the recyclers seen like they are what I need.
The center of can vape inlet isn't common on bongs. Bubblers yes which is why I had my first option. If you could point me in the right direction for those designs that would rock.
Part of the reason I chose those pieces was because they were interesting to me. I'm going to replace my adapter I just broke for my bong, but Kathy listed some more pieces.
I see what you're saying with the diffusion so I'm wondering if I can get more diffusion than my current mobius in a smaller bong as my current mobius is quote large. Am I right in that a recycler is what I need? I'm open to a smaller piece but I just need smooth hits.
The smaller pieces are quite cheap so I'm willing to try one of those out as well. But I did thing a big recycler would be nice as I take quite large rips with m current big bong but a recycler would probably. Make them a lot smoother I imagine.

Pillar perc with showerhead bubbler from CCG. The glass quality is amazing and the base is really sturdy as well. I can tell the glass quality/work is so much better Kathy's fab egg, which I already dropped and smashed
. The smoke goes into the dry compartment first and then shoots into the showerhead perc and then up the pillars. Pretty sick.

thats unfortunate...
but so whats the deal with this Chinese New Year? Are sellers only on vacation or also shipping companies? Wondering i should wait on placing an order till after so my package doesn't get lost or something during the break

The reason I prefer 2 and 4 over 3 is surface area; when you take a hit, some of the vapour sticks to the glass. The more surface area there is, the fewer cannabinoids get into your lungs. So you want to limit the surface area.
I admit that I don't know much about the science going on in number 2 but as far as I know, agitating the water as much as possible is a good thing for some reason. Sorry that that's not very technical.
The design is a variation of the Faberge Egg by Mothership.Ace of Space

I just got Steven's Fc 1000 in and i must say it's amazingly cool.
I made sure they did a thorough QC before shipping out, because the last order from Steven was a Pisa tower shaped Fc Ufo, that functions ok but looks weird. On this thing everything is straight, it's thick glass, clean welds, just beautiful!
I got the Fc 1000 to pair with my Herborizer and it does a great job of smoothening out the harsh big clouds with the matrix and pillars.

Sorry to Hijack the question but I'm also looking for a piece -but for minimum diffusion and taste with low drag. Something like the D020 but a bit bigger. I already have the FC 186, D020, FC mod and mouthpiece. I was thinking of getting the FC 187 from Steven as it seems like it fits my needs- unless you have any other suggestions ?
Was going to get the FC UFO but I want something with a mouthpiece attached. Thanks for any advice given.

Get the UFO! Having the MP attached isn't enough to make you skip it. much better than my D020D. I would like a 187 though
They all seem good however, I don't like number 3 after looking at it more.

The one in the vid is also available and cheaper I believe.
It looks good to me! Ultimately you want something you like looking at and using. I use recyclers for flower and they're still quite effective despite being primarily associated with concentrates. Post a review when you get it!

Got a second ftk in the mail MUCH faster this time (totally acceptable wait) perhaps this design is just too complicated for them? the new broken one, still has little imperfections in the glass.. like, things that in a head shop would be considered b grade. theres a chunk (size of a grain of rice ) inside one of the fab holes that shouldn't be there. there is also a black mark permanently stuck in the joint.
I thinnk this first batch of FC-FTK is hit or miss. I have seen 2 of these that functioned here and on insta, as well as another 2 that didnt and my two that dont. It may not be fair to say that the new one that arrived doa didtn function, but since the mouth piece snapped off, its safe to say it doesnt funciton lol
damn im going to place another order on somethign safe.. rip the bandaid off.

I really like the function on my mini straight fab from steven. The QC however, could use improvement. I think these more complicated pieces have a greater chance of imperfections.

Damn you, party liquor
Wow, they do have some good prices right now. I've checked out their bee hives on their site before. Anyone around here have or hit one of these?
