If you lined the reclaim jar with parchment paper do you think claim would collect on it? or just create a nasty mess?

If done neatly I could see that working. If the paper sits above the joint in the dropdown (if that even makes sense) it should in theory all end up on the parchment. Might be worth a shot if I can get hold of one, thanks for the idea.

@salivape In my experience it's not that hard to heat gently.

Maybe message @Oregonglassblower he could probably whip you up one for cheaper than 53 pounds, but more than China.

Thanks again for the reply. It's a nice idea for the $10 the standard dhgate ones ship for but I'll probably just continue with scraping the banger unless a pre made and cheap option arises. It's not that much of a hassle just something I could do without. I can't have my reclaim catcher being the most expensive glass i own :lol:

On the 16th feb i ordered two pieces from steven , 1 fc mod body and mouthpiece and a Hydrofoot to go with it. I will use them with my Sublimator. I received the FC mod 27th febuary. I have emailed steven 11 times or so and keep getting told its sent, But the tracking does not track. Today they blame the weather in USA which is funny as i am in UK.. They also blame the post in China and the Holidays last month, i have pointed out both items ordered at the same time. So why i receive the FC MOD if there are postal, Weather issues? They ignore this point. STEVEN is getting worse it seems with customer service. i have asked is it in stock they say it sent....... I think he does not make glass himself, but brokers deals...

Meh. Steven's quality is hit and miss. I did like his straight fab, the size, the mouthpiece, and how solid it was. The one I got had a tilted perc, and was kind of sloppy. For me, it's on the outer limits as far as size and filtration (I like smaller pieces with less diffusion for oil). There's some feedback on Reddit about Gorgeous Heroine's fab egg. I have better luck with simpler pieces, as far as getting one that is reasonably straight, and looks good. If you don't need the extra weight to offset an enail, I really like this little guy, great flavor, and hits just right.

That little Toro KO looks nice. How does it hit? Is is as low diffusion as it looks?

Has anybody seen this one's brother with the lowered showerhead type perc on DHG? Think Toro calls it a micro-circ.

Many banks won't authorize transactions with DHGate since they've been burned in the past with chargebacks due to counterfeit items being purchased. I would recommend trying a different bank's CC or calling your bank and ask them if they can pre-approve a DHGate purchase. :2c:

Finally got my hydrotube and made a quick video

First impressions: Glass is much thicker then the original. Better height and comfortable mouthpiece. The perc and joint are very well done. The tube leading to the recycler is too big (though it's quite solid) which prevents any vortex unless the water is very high. I like my pnwt, but I like this much more, even without the recycler working perfectly. Small and sturdy enough to take on trips with great taste, good diffusion, and decent volume. No hydrafoot sucks.

I just received my recycler tube from sunshine last night . Overall I'm very pleased , quality is good , it sits and seals very well on all my 18mm joints . My only minor complaints especially at china prices is my percs aren't polished and the mouthpiece slighty angles to left from head on . This does not affect function and like I said its pretty minor for the price . I didn't get my evo yet so I've only used in on my mighty and Fc-mod with the E-nano . The biggest surprise was the great taste from the mighty , I couldn't believe how different it was compared to my usual PV F-bomb that I use with it . I too wish it came with a hydra foot or they gave you an option to buy one with it . I hope more hydratube styles start showing up on dh-gate

Thanks bro for the response. Was locked and loaded for one of these tubes and it just wouldn't go. I will figure it out somehow. Great to see you guys are liking your tubes I am jealous for sure! Ever since my hydra tube smashed the evo hasn't treated me the same

I had placed several orders two years ago with DHgate using my bank card with no issue. Then one day my card wouldn't work - next day I got a call from the bank telling me my card had been charged on dhgate and they rejected it automatically!

These days I use Skrill.com - it's like Paypal but it works on Dhgate. During checkout I simply enter select skrill and enter the email address in a dialog box pops up for me to sign in just like paypal does.

(NOTE - it's free to setup a skrill account and add money via bank wire, but it costs around 3% to add money to account)

My card has a "feature" where you have to enter a password in a second page, after making a purchase. Only comes up on a few sites. Browser will remember it, but it can be lost if you clear out your cookies.

Yup, low diffusion, very little resistance. Hits great, my current favorite. I've seen the Toro you're describing, but I can't find it.

I would maybe get that sandblasted one.

Or the one at this store http://www.dhgate.com/store/19606751#st-navigation-storehome the title for that one has mothership so I am not gonna link to it.

Both of those look identical to Steven's (well besides the first one being sandblasted), and I would be surprised if Steven is ordering from one of these vendors and then upping the price.

Edit: can't vouch for the pieces or vendors though.

Hey FC, I bought and freaking LOVE my sunshinestore D020-D, I am having an issue that I need some help on. My Enano GonG is starting to get stuck, is there some type of lubricant I can use before it gets completely stuck?


Thank yo in advance! :tup:

Are there any real colored glass pieces? As in the whole piece? Not just the perc and outer rims. I remember seeing a couple just cant find anything right now. I thought I had seen a double recycler that was either yellow or orange. I couldn't find anything in this thread. I broke my fab egg so I need a new piece.

Someone posted a video of an all lemon-drop piece but wouldn't say who the vendor they ordered from was. I contemplated messaging them or a few other vendors about a custom but never got around to it. Decent chance it was Clean & Clear Glass as they definitely sell lemon drop pieces. They also have a toucan piece (labelled as eagle) in colours.

The price on the dino seems to be creeping up, pretty sure it was 79 USD when I ordered it. Now they have female joints as an option which is about the only thing I wish mine had. I would definitely recommend it as the quality was a lot better than I was expecting.

Have seen a few other vendors with headier looking pieces but a lot of them were janky looking horns and not exactly full colour.

Just put a little olive oil or coconut oil on your fingers and lightly lubricate the joint. Works nicely.

I'm afraid I've decided I prefer the D020-D by far to using the FCMod. It's much more premium feeling in the hands, not as clumsy and cheap. I think even if my FCMod wasn't dodgy it would still feel inferior.

I'd love to see a more accurate, and thicker version. Especially the mouth piece. It's really thin compared to the other parts. As it's your primary interaction with the piece it's also unfortunately the weakest part.

I think I will have to look into the FCMouthpiece but Steven's credibility seems to be waning. My interaction with him has been disappointing. His response regarding my uneven matrix perc was "check the joint was in correctly" I mean no shit it's in properly the issue is your stems are not hanging anywhere close to dead centre.

You may have to push a bit. Make it simple. "This piece is defective - see the pic", "I want a replacement". They will try to avoid it, because that's their business model. Be firm. Steven's no worse than the rest, they all offer sketchy quality, sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't.
