I placed an order from Steve over month ago and it still hasn't hit customs. Bought 4 hydrafoot water bases from Sunshine store at the exact same time and have had them 2 weeks. Also all Sunshine stores hydrafeet have the extended downstem now as well.I thought dhgate took like a month to ship? I placed an order from Steven not even a week ago, and it's already in Canadian customs! BOOM!
I also recently bought a Steven FC-187 V2. Its still in transit but if it arrives in one piece with no pin holes or wobble on the table, I will be very happy as I think this dewar design will be very useful to me.Well I finally made my first dhgate order, and went with steven's store:
FC-187 v2
FC-186
PG014
Hopefully it all works out okay!
I'm guessing there aren't any 4/20 sales on dhgate?
Which one do you think milks up the best? I've been wanting one for my evo but can't decide which base to get, I have the VXH hydrabomb so I probably wouldn't get the circ base (similar Perc) but idkI placed an order from Steve over month ago and it still hasn't hit customs.

The best Hydrafoot on Dhgate is the Tree hands down. The circ(showerhead) requires a certain amount of water ro function. The inline is just chuggy or something. All of them are different but fully functional. If i could only choose one itd be the treeWhich one do you think milks up the best?

Hi all,
I posted about this in the Herbalizer thread. A couple people suggested I post here so I can get an inexpensive, quality, glass piece for my Herbalizer.
It seems like what I want is a water tool, since with that you have the option to use it dry, or with water.
I have a spinal cord injury, so I don't know if I want to deal with the extra maintenance of using water, but if using a water tool dry would be the same as a steamroller, it seems like I should get a water tool for the extra flexibility. I'd like to try hits dry, and with water.
I don't have any experience with using glass with a vaporizer. It's been maybe decades since I've taken bong hits.
I'm thinking it would be good to avoid something like a whip/bubbler combo, and take the whip out of the chain, but I'm open to opinions. Wouldn't it be better to use only glass?
What would you recommend given what I typed? And is the stuff from DHGate really as good as the more expensive US made stuff?
Thanks.

Thanks, I really want to do it right the first time and get the right piece, so being detail-oriented is necessary.
I've only used Herbie for flowers so far, and I've only used the whip, not the bags. I may try things like rosins in the future, but I'm wary of how strong concentrates can be.
I think my main issue with the whip is the amount of lung strength you need to exert to draw on it. I also understand glass offers better flavor, etc., but I don't have any personal experience with vapes and glass, so I don't know all the pros and cons.
I saw this video of Herbie with the steamroller they sell, and it seems better than the whip:I also like the idea of the carburetor it has.
Isn't having only glass in the chain better for flavor, for one thing? I thought I read a post about that. It would also cut down on the parts to clean, but I'm open to whatever's best, as long as the maintenance wouldn't be too annoying.
Here are two replies to my post in the Herbalizer thread:
"Whenever vapor passes through glass, some of it will be deposited on the internal walls of that glass. The glass you choose does not really affect this, although obviously a larger internal surface area provides more area for the vapor to "stick to".
I have used original VapeXhale glass, china glass and locally blown glass and can't tell much of a difference. As such, I only buy dhgate glass now. Of course, it doesn't help that I am the clumsiest person known to man!
I also prefer the bent-neck models, as they are easier to use ergonomically.
Whether you use water or not is a personal preference (assuming the piece in question is intended for use with water). I actually use my glass dry most of the time for better flavor
As always, YMMV."
and
"Leaning over the Herbalizer might not be the easiest thing for you? A whip with a bubbler attached is easy to pick up and use while sitting back. You don't even need to use it with water for it to work just like the steam roller.
I highly recommend you look up dhgate and also look at or post in this thread http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/cheap-high-quality-bubbler.5255/unread"
The Matrix bubbler you recommend has a bent neck, so that seems like a plus. Does it have a carburetor? And if I were to use it dry, would it be just as good as the Herbalizer steamroller? Also, I'd have to get an adapter for the bowl, correct?
Thanks again!
Straight Tube makes ZERO sense for ergonomics. Hence why you see me recommend the bent neck there. I despise straight tube for my own personal use.
As for the carb portion.
No it doesn't? I'm not aware of many glass pieces meant to be used with water that have carbs. That's not as normal. However, you can get a glass adapter that will give you a carb. This again goes to the modularity thing. OregonGlassBlower can make you one if you can't find one for some reason.
Regarding carps there could exist regional differences. Up to a few years nearly every glass piece in Germany had a carb. Meanwhile carbless WP are getting more. Guess ratio is nearly 1:1.
Was a false alarm.... the email said it had cleared customs of the "destination" country. It was a lie, it cleared export customs in beiging lol I'm not in a rush though since i'm on a break anyway.
the piece in the middle looks like the d020-d but with a different base and mouthpiece... great looking collection !This is a game changer for me.... I can see GAS being more of a problem that VAS! lol
One piece is "dirty' or something...another has a bubble, haven't looked at them anymore than that but just about to give them an ISO bath and checkout the water function.
For the price, impossible to beat.

As for the "vapor loss" argument. That's so minimal, I really don't think it's important. I have a big bong, and a small piece, and I can't tell the difference vapor wise.
As for the carb portion.

Cleaning wise, I notice no difference between the whip and the glass.
Both have to go in an iso bath. Personally, I have a 5 gallon jug of simple green I bought from Home Depot for $20. That's all I need. If you want to be super crazy you can check out the ultrasonic cleaners. I'll be getting one before 2017 is over.
If you don't like the whip, the only way I can see that is if the whip is too constricted to allow great airflow. If you're willing to sit closer to the Herbalizer, then you could use glass directly with the Herbalizer correct?
That's part of the reason I recommended that piece. Because you can use the top part to easily mate with the Herbalizer, while also using a small whip attached into the downstem of the bong.
As for "carbing", generally, I use the whip as my "carb" and just pull out of my piece if I use a whip and then keep a finger over the whip to keep it fresh.
If you don't need the whole setup that I recommended, he does sell the main part that you can use.
I just like that because it will let you try TWO setups right from the start.
@ataxian just posted the honeycomb version of what I recommended.
"In terms of what you say here, "As for "carbing", generally, I use the whip as my "carb" and just pull out of my piece if I use a whip and then keep a finger over the whip to keep it fresh.", are you saying a whip is connected to the glass, then you'll pull the glass out of the whip, and keep a finger over the end of the whip?"How desirable would a carb be for using it dry? Interesting that there are regional differences on whether to include it or not.
I may need to clean the whip, but I'm going to order a glass piece anyway. And yes, the Herbie is close to me as it is.
In looking at the multiple pieces, I initially didn't really get what I was looking at, but after watching this video for something that looks similar:I think I get what you mean.

What is the difference between the Matrix version and the Honeycomb version?
I got a PM from somebody who said this,
"I am a big fan of the Herbie brand steamrollers. I have both. They perform identically. I prefer the bent version simply because it is more ergonomic. I also have a lot of glass and prefer the steamroller over any other setup I've been able to devise. The steamroller is especially satisfying right out of the fridge.
Maintenance.....
Steamrollers are very very easy to keep clean. A quick iso wash and it is like new. Also dishwasher safe."
Seems some posters to the Herbalizer thread really like the Herbie steamroller, and others say Chinese glass is about equivalent, so I'm having a hard time deciding.
Thanks for the replies.
