Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Kathy's fab ball rig is A+! I was worried about the joint, but it's reinforced and even had a thick rubberized foam protection for shipping along with enough bubble wrap for two shipments. It's a very nice, beefy rig. The mouthpiece design is fantastic imo. It did come with a strange quality control type label seemingly baked on bottom, but I razor bladed most and will get the rest with alcohol. I will gladly put in the work to remove these labels, if the quality like this continues, so a very minor complaint. It has a 14mm female joint, 12 slit 6 top 6 bottom perc, 10.25" height from mp top to base bottom, 3.5" base, 14 fab holes not including the Klein welds. I honestly can't believe this is under $50, it's a keeper! @mvapes got any good ideas on making this a Big Lebowski themed rig? Lol, don't ship that item I just bought off you yet, and we can combine shipments if possible. Hit me up on the pm buddy, thanks!​

I just got Kathy's Fab Egg Beaker. It was bad. Scratches, crooked perc, doesn't function correctly and I get massive splash back.

As for the Mobius discussion, I have a bigger mobius piece and I will say the craftsmanship isn't perfect. but god it hits great. Only problem is it's big. I'd imagine the smaller ones also have good diffusion, but when you're using a small piece for vaping/dabbing, you don't need all that diffusion anyway, so I prefer the chinese tiny pieces for those instances. Only time I need a great diffusing rig is for flower, which I don't combust!

Thanks for all the info. I do appreciate it.
And congrats on escaping the cult:)

Got my FC V2 after what seemed like eons. This was the cheapest FC 187 I could ($26) and the quality is quite nice. No obvious defects, except for a centimeter long surface deep line gash in the base that you can hardly see unless I pointed it out to you. Looks like it happened before it set and not in shipping, so there's no burring or rough glass. No missed cuts in the percolator, either.

Glass plus Enail was about $105.

Packaging had a nice industrial processing smell to it, mmm..

How good is that e-nail? :)

Pretty close shaping. As for the function of this one it might be good, but ideally I would want it to have 2-4 holes instead of the 12-15 tiny slits.
Hey why is it you prefer the. 2-4 hole pieces? I have2 4 hole pieces both are recyclers though and miniature. I also have 2-2hole banger hangers from @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd (one just purchased yet to arrive) I've tried to start dabbing out
these pieces exclusively because I have noticed less reclaim when dabbing vs my larger more higher diffusion pieces the reclaim is still high in the small4holes recyclers due to the amount of water i believe

I like to have both around to rotate! I have found Less diffusion= less reclaim= More flavor. My favorite pieces to dab top shelf errl from are the FC-710 which is a diffusion pump, A Turbine HT, a pig snout 2 hole banger hanger, and a custom heady recycler with a 9 hole diffy. BUT that is only with top shelf , nug run concentrates. If I move away from the $70g stuff onto the $30g stuff made from sugar trim I like a little more diffusion. The potency is usually close to the same as the nug run but it's usually not as great of a taste and a tad harsher so I prefer a little showerhead, matrix, or something with a little more diffusion. I does cause a little more reclaim but not that much. In fact I ONLY collect reclaim from my drop downs now. Using the Liger I never have enough reclaim in the actual bong to matter even with a high diffusion piece, just a little in the drop.

What is the 'perfect' water level for the fc 710? I know its diffrent with most bongs but I feel that this bong must have a 'perfect' water level..
JUST enough to where it glugs. Just add a little bit at a time and you can really tell when it's right by feel on this one.
right at the tip of the opening if that makes since. Water should just barely go into the rounded area at the bottom of the mouthpiece.
This video looks close, sometimes I put like a 1/4" more than this for a little more resistance and glug, but somewhere around here

For being such a small piece, the 710 took a lot of water to get great diffusion from. I liked keeping the water just a couple millimeters above the "straw". Here's a video example of what I mean:

I Just got this piece. My first actual piece. I had a hand me down small glass bong. and a small pipe so its new to me. It only has one honeycomb. What do you guys think about it? Considering picking up an ash catcher for more perc.

Ive found just right above or level to the tube pointing up.

Otherwise with harder drags, water comes in the mouth.

So most of my bongs have been pretty good I consider and have had few issues. How common is it for bongs/bubblers to have "splashback" from pulling too hard? Maybe I'm just spoiled lol but some of these pieces I wonder what they are thinking because there is no way you can use such a piece without pulling very very slowly.

I definitely find more flavour from as few holes as possible. I mostly dab from my heady minitubes now which have either 2 or 3 hole percs and between 3.5 and 6 inches tall. I think there is less reclaim, but I also enjoy that it is much easier to pull from than a big piece with a fancy perc. I think this results in me coughing less and actually inhaling more of the dab.

I basically only whip out my chinese glass now if I need a piece that can support an e-nail, and also the Mothership mini copy as using the swing and capping it is oddly satisfying. The piece has pretty great flavor, but I think if it had 20% of the amount of slits it would be even better.

@flotntoke So I pulled the trigger lastnight and went with your advice and ordered the FC 187 sidecar :) .

I'm pretty stoked to get it in. It's already been shipped so hopefully it doesn't take an eternity to make it to Canada! After I saw @Prospector pics of his Mobius and it was da done deal for me lol.
I went with Steven from dhgate as the seller. Hopefully I get a nice piece with hardly any problems :)

Thanks again guys for the tips and suggestions :rockon::peace: .

@Monsoon Thanks man hopefully it only takes 6 to 8 days :clap:

@flotntoke What size quartz banger would you recommend for my Mobius piece that's coming in?
From Hyman quartz on dhgate I was gonna get either the 16mm size bucket with 3mm thickness or 22mm size bucket with 4mm thickness?
Seeing the price I'll probably just get both.
Anyone here have both?

Looks like you're smoking instead of vaping through that? Yeah... get the ashcatcher. I'd advise one that is easy to take apart and clean. It can be a real bitch to get a wayward fleck of weed out of one of those honeycombs.

Congrats, man!! They usually take about 8-10 days to me. Depends on customs there and when they release it. Be forewarned.... epacket tracking seems like it is usually pretty up to date until it hits your country. With USPS, the piece is usually here the same day epacket tracking says it is shipping from the point of entry. A few times I've already been sitting here hitting my piece when it finally updates to say it was delivered some hours earlier. Think it just takes a while for their system to catch up once it's here.

I only have a couple 16s. Think 22 would be fun if you can find a cap for it. More glass may make for more heat retention and slower cooling. That could come in handy if you like the big bombs. Nothing wrong with getting both and giving us a comparison review!

Usually do them with my nano if not on a Ti nail these days. Tough for me to get concentrates here, and once you figure out a good system you can dab for days from the nano. I've kind of given up trying to hit those loads until they stop producing vapor. It's like the fucking energizer bunny or something! I got ahold of some nice live resin, and the shit will not finish! I got blitzed off it the other night and finally gave up trying to finish it. The next night I got another 6-7 decent hits off it while trying to kill it and clean my GonG for plain old green. Makes for some serious fuzzy TV!
