I have the same piece, and all I can say is it is built to last, very thick and nice too.
I don't know why it doesn't get more love around here.
If you get it, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

It gets loved by me

I enjoy mine as a travel rig in a little pelican case

Hey guys, If you don't have a PWTA or F-Bomb already I highly suggest one of the sub-$15 PWTA on DHGate. I have been LOVING mine with the Haze in the car and on the trails. I keep the haze in my backpack and just hit the PWTA from a hose

Best $13 ever I wish the F-bomb was cheaper I would get the real thing.

I wonder where this guy is sourcing his glass? I'm sure it's Chinese despite what he claims but it sure looks better than my GB-187!

Anybody know how to edit a review posted on DHgate ? Only asking as I gave Kathy's FTK 3 stars for having a fast return and no vortex effect- but with more water their is a slower water return in the chamber and it functions better, still no vortex though.

I was on the review page and I could see the statistics for my reviews just no option to edit them. Feel bad only giving it three stars for my lack of knowledge on the water level.

I also posted this on reddit and people were commenting on my water level being too low, thought you guys might be interested to.

@mrbonsai420 That GB-187 looks exactly like Stevens but without the Logo, even the mouthpiece looks the same size . I've heard people say that Steven just sources his glass from other factories, so don't take my word for truth.

Sure looks like same weld I have on my downstem on my gb-187...

Nope... Never seen anything like that!

Kidding... Probably one of the most universally loved pieces on this thread with various names/numbers from different vendors.

Don't know anything about the vendor you link, though. I've had good luck with this guy. Price is a a little higher, but I'd go with it or a similar one from one of the other relatively "trusted" vendors in this thread.

I know there are several variations of essentially the same design. I saw somewhere (can't remember or find it now) of a comparison pic between the 187 (from steven) and the one I previously linked...tl;dr stevens 187 didn't look as good (aesthetically) and the poster said he preferred the cheaper one.
Just thought I'd ask to see if anyone here had personal experience with it.

Thanks, I'll hop on it then. Looks like a neat little oil rig, my banger will be right at home on it I suspect.

Thanks dude , really appreciate the compliment.

Have to say though only started making videos because users here like @ShayWhiteGrow, @Stu , @cwheezy , @Likes2vape @Cannabis Connoisseur and the few of yours I have seen.

To get back on topic- really tempted to buy that new CCG incycler.

Would really appreciate if any of the users here who have purchased it would post a review here when they get theirs.

I ordered that new incycler and should be on it's way in about 5 days or so. I'll try to give a full detailed report on the CCG rig but past experiences have been good with that maker. I even asked if they could delete side logo label and they were happy to comply. Can't wait to use it...

I can't solicit away from classifieds. But if you're interested in unloading a group of China Glass I might be intrigued

You may not have noticed but I also stated I don't like selling stuff either!!! :cool:

Haha I did notice, but seeing that much vaporizer-friendly glass and not asking is like running into Bill Gates and not asking for 10k...You know he'll say no, but why not ask?? :science:

Cannabis Connoisseur · Mar 25, 2016

One day I'll get everything clean and uniform so all my pieces are available for the photo shoot! I keep a couple in use and a couple in the cleaning bin, one is out for repair. I can't fit them all on the shelves on that side anyway. I have about 6 I'm in the midst of purchasing and after that I'm retiring back to Hot Rods!! It's just what pumps in my blood with vapor!!

Stevenski · Mar 25, 2016

Getting a bit annoyed with the lack of response from Glassartist on my broken piece. What is a reasonable response time on a message before lodging a dispute with DH gate? This is the same vendor that was responding inside 5 minutes on a Sunday afternoon in China so 2 days seems a bit rich.

That's the one and I gotta say it's a hell of a rig. I actually packed up my fc-710 on Wednesday to make some room on my shelf, and it's been my daily driver since I got it coming up on a year ago.

On another note I bought the dualiti enail knockoff and when I opened it yesterday the seller sent me the wrong one. I got the not enail version which is female and my setup is for a male nail plus coils don't fit. I do really like it thought and I got 2 extra quartz dishes so I'm trying to get just the titanium parts of the enail version for an extra 50% cost of the price of the whole thing and I'll keep the wrong one. Besides being the wrong one it's a sweet nail, I heated the dishes red hot and dropped them in cold water and no cracks. I don't want to use it though and change the color of the TI in case he wants me to ship it back.

This is what I ordered.

I can't find the link to what I got but it has the same quartz head with this style base but not directly inject.

I have 3 good friends who are married and just don't have extra loot laying around but would like their own rig set up at home. I've counted 12 rigs (one is a Nectar Collector) and decided to get rid of 3 to friends. I have a dry herb bowl for each as well as a dome & nail. These are rigs I might use once in a great while but are perfect for dry herb/sometimes dabbers.

Hi guys, I saw this bubbler for $16 on DHgate, so I thought, why not? Has anyone have any experience with this one before? I thought it looked similar to the FC-187 by steven that gets a lot of love around here.. I thought the perc looked nice.. Any thoughts.?

I think the water level is too high, not sure if you've seen my test video of Stevens FTK. But I would be upset hitting a piece with as much water you put in that video.

Can't help you there. This thread is pretty fast moving with shit flying all over the place all the time. You might want to try google with some variants on FC-187 and FC because just having the numbers (i.e. 187) isn't enough info for the FC search engine to work with. Sometimes this can work pretty well if you get the right phrasing.

FWIW, I really like stevens, but I've had it for quite some time (year? 2?) and don't know how they are now.

Hey Budddy, you should be able to unscrew the female part and flip it, they usually make those things to be universal, and yours looks no dif. give it a shot... I did the exact same thing, went back to the head shop, and he was pretty snobby about the whole thing

Hope this works!

Looks like a nice little piece, but I don't know of anyone who has tried this seller - and it is a good bit different than the FC-187. It's probably much smaller. This looks like a knockoff of a Hitman mini cake - a very small piece with a 10mm male on top. That wouldn't be out of character for this type of piece, and would make it much smaller than an FC-187.

Hard to say for certain just from a picture, but the glass sure looks thinner. Also, a male connection at the top which can be a pain to deal with if you're new to glass, and usually requires adapters that you may not have laying around or be able to easily figure what you need until you get the piece.

If you're looking for a nice small dab rig, this could fit the bill. Might even be OK for vaping through, small or not. But, with an unknown seller and so little info about it - I'd probably steer clear of this one.

Always nicer to spend $16 instead of $39 or so on what is already tried, tested and pretty well loved here on FC, but not so fun to spend $16 and get something that isn't worth having or that you won't use. You're still probably going to start from scratch and end up spending the $39 anyway in the long run. Difference? You waste $16 and time waiting for it to get here from China to find out you should've just got the other one in the first place. Hey, we all love cheap glass - that's why we're here. But, keep in mind the piece that FC-187 is modeled after would run you $300 - $350 or more if it were even still available! And, the original isn't even a sidecar. It does look like there are some OK pieces on DHGate for less, but not much less than $40 for something close to the FC-187. I think the D020-D is up over $30 now from known sellers.

If you do get the one you linked, let us know how it is and how things went with the seller.

Well I did see the seller had over 300+ positive transactions at 100% positive feedback, so I figured it would be a safe go. They also shipped it out the next day, so its just a few more days of waiting to see if it got here safely.

Thank for you finding which rig this piece is inspired from (the Hitman mini cake) I didnt even think that this would possibly be 10mm when I was assuming 14mm. Now it does seem much smaller than in the photos. But hey, for $16 its still a very good bargain for a mini-rig. Over here in Los Angeles, that would only get you a decent pipe or a very crappy bubbler with a one-hole downstem.

I'm just gonna get the FC-187 then with a 18mm male-to-male adapter.
I'll let you know how the birthday cake turns out! I do wish I consulted here first though knowing its so tiny! I'm probably just going to give it away to a friend when its delivered.

Yeah... definitely let us know how it goes. Always nice to see another seller added to the list.

Dabbing seems to involve even more personal preferences than vaping - even here on FC. But, I prefer a smaller can/less volume - more like this minicake (though usually larger), but not as big as the FC-187. I also tend to prefer a little more diffusion with the limited less-than-stellar concentrates I can find. But, if you like big, lower diffusion/higher flavor dabs, I think the FC-187 could be a good choice. I do love mine for vapor. But, probably going to stick with my D-Cycler or inline 3x donut for dabs.

It's not like that, the top link is the one I ordered and that has a base you can flip. I was sent one with a base style like the second link that's just a single piece of titanium. Appreciate u trying to help though.

My GAS was coming back so I ordered that one last night based on the reviews here. I can always use some more durable portable rigs and based on @mrbonsai420's pictures it looks like it's work well with my incoming Liger v2.

Man, I think this was my first purchase since at least the summer after ordering something like 20 pieces over 6 months. Out of all of them, my daily drivers in rotation are the FC-710, FC-Cake, GB-191-1 and CCG Mini Fab Egg. For the rest, some of them I pull out occasionally or are only used with vapes which I rarely use, a few just aren't great, and the rest will gradually find new homes as friends and acquaintances join the world of dabbing.

I think the mini fab will make its way into your rotation. I haven't missed my fc-710 since mine came in the mail. The pump taste a little better but the drag is way harder compared to the mini fab. I've been liking the GB-194 and it's gotten great reviews on here so I might grab one of those next.
And titanium_factory accepted my offer for the dualiti and since they messed up they offered to send me a new enail. (I think they meant quartz dish) So hopefully I get the right one this time.

Do you all find recyclers and incyclers have greater restriction than more traditional designs?

Or does it have more to do with the percs involved?
