anyone who has the water pipe adapter for this thing want to give me some tips on screens? mine didn't come with a screen in it and none of the supplied screens with the LSV seem to fit right. the smaller ones are too loose and don't hold their place and the bigger ones won't lie flat because they're too big. any tips?

I found that it helps to get the screen well "domed' first.. as round as you can.... then when shaped like a mushroom cap.. you can get it in there (start with dome up it is easier.. keeping dome up won't be as vital in the WPA as in a "wand" unit).
Once you manipulate the screen below all 3 "pinches".. then you can slowly force the screen down.. and it will spread under the pinches, until you have it locked in place.
Sometimes it winds up sort of domed up.. sometimes flat.. and sometimes it is versy snug with a bit of a ripple on on spot or another, but as long as it is below the pinches.. I am good to go.
HINT:
sometimes, when I get a great position in the WPA..
I try not to remove it.. If it needs cleaning I use 91% Iso with it in place.. even a soak and "agitate" motion. Then I run a jet of hot water through to remove any debris. Finally I dry with a shop vac (hold WPA tight!).

I'm interested in your "glass only" setup. I'm wanting to do something similar with my SSV. What did you get?
What I'm thinking is a standard HC wand for the SSV that has a 75-90 degree bend at the end that goes to a 19mm GonG. Another idea is a standard HC wand with a Spherical GG end that goes to a Spherical GG WPA. With the WPA having the 75-90 degree elbow between the 19mm GonG and Spherical GG.

Hey Tuck, I'm in the process of taking pictures right now. It's one of those rare times when everything is clean at the same time 
I'll post in a day or two with all my stuff. Basically its a RooR ash catcher with adaptable parts/joints for...well, basically any adaptor you want to use; WP, wand, whip, Sherlock pieces, etc. that fits the 18mm 7th Floor joints. Think of the ash catcher as a huge wand with a carb that fits the hands-free HCs. Works perfectly with my DBV, SSV or LSV as I can angle it any way I want (vertically or 90 degrees horizontal). Then all the particulate matter, resin, etc. goes right into the ash catcher so it essentially becomes my vapor hash collector. So everything can be completely cleaned and also all wand hash collected. No loss in the whip tubing or in a WP.

Pics up in Custom Vape Set Ups. Seemed more appropriate place. If you have any questions, ask here so we can keep that thread mostly pictures. I'll move some of the more LSV-only pics over here soon.

"Pimpin' ain't easy but it's necessary"LSV + personal adaptor + WP ice only
LSV WPA + hash catcher + Sherlock
I recently got my hands on a DBV and im in love to say the least! After some reading here and lurking the net I have decided that I want the LSV badly! I look forward to this next purchase and cant wait to start chating it up...thanks guys for your reviews and info!

I have to echo Vitolo's last post "You'll not regret the choice!"
By far my best purchase of 2010.

I was screwing around with the transfer wand last night and had a couple of thoughts.
1: the screen inside the actual heater cover should be a finer mesh. The almost-MFLB grind I use allows a portion to get sucked through, leading to waste and a nasty aroma of burnt material.
2: the LSV transfer wand should have its screen placed lower within the male GonG joint. This way there is less area for the herbal material to "fly around", so that it's sandwiched with less area, allowing more consistent results. An Arizer Extreme Q elbow bowl works really great for this task!
While the WPA definitely dominates my LSV usage, the transfer has its place in the world! Also might as well mention that I have only the shorty transfer, and have literally zero wish that it were any longer - it works just fine.

Just pulled the trigger on a LSV. Love my EQ dearly but I don't care for bags and im growing tired of the taste of the whip. Hopefully this will be my new daily.

It fits on dbv.. and i use ssv heater cover on my dbv.. Mind that both SSV and DBV are too heavy to hang on your pipe if that is how you gonna use it.. breakage issues do not worth it if you are not extra cautious ..havock69 said:
