I tried searching but I guess I used the wrong search terms...what is the rough estimate capacity for flower?
Seems to be around 0.4-0.5gr depending on how fine a grind and how tamped down you have it. I regularly fit 0.3gr in it with room yet. It's a fucking monsterI tried searching but I guess I used the wrong search terms...what is the rough estimate capacity for flower?
I think the Showerhead has so much airflow, that for some rigs uncapped it direct injects right into the lungs instead of milking the piece.
If you can use a Fab Egg I suggest trying it. It's night and day different from the smaller oil rigs.
I guess I just have big lungs and am old school enough to want a huge rip from a large can. I get bigger clouds because I'm taking the big hit at once and not long and drawn out.
I'm happy you guys are satisfied with the oil rigs of that size. I just don't get it and I think they are holding back the real potential the FP has.
If a glass blower came up with a FP FC approved bong I'd be all over that. I might grab a FTK as the size is similar to the egg.
I still want to see comparison videos w. the EVO (why is that so wrong to ask?). Let's not cloud our minds with bias simply because we bought this toy and love it. There is still work to do IMO. I can't afford to buy one to run my own tests. I come here for the vets opinions.
I still consider a fab egg a small oil rig. Are you using the 8" or 9" one? I'm surprised you're having trouble milking big tubes with the FP though if you have big lungs. I don't find I have to milk any slower than if I was doing a combustion snap from the same sized tube. I don't think you're gonna whitewall a 18" beaker with vapor with the PID set to 550F though. What temps were you using?
Personally I can hit my CCG SOL rig like twice as long as my big beaker before running out of breath though. It's a lot easier to chirp.

very good flavor and awesome as hell design
Very briefly back to the old debate about holding vapor and absortption levels-I have considered myself that with a smaller rig the majority of the vapor spends a very long time inside your lungs while you continue inhaling. I for one do sunscribe to the belief that holding vapor longer, to a point, greatlt increases the effects, for me at least.
One counter argument to this, and the birth of the re-breathimg technique philosophy, is that after your lungs are out of oxygen no more absorption can take place.
Also I think that for only a certain amount of time can actives be absorbed (up to 10 seconds I think- which is the longest I would ever try to hold a hot anyway.)
So to me it makes sense that with a small rig very long draw, and vapor filling the lungs immediately, as you continue to take in air and oxygen, would increase absorption levels.
In fact, in this scenario, there would be no need to hold the hit at the end anyway since most of it has been inside you for a good while, and you are gonna be bursting to exhale at times.
But then there may actually be more of a "hit" when you take in 80% plus of it in a second. It would be like taking 10 mg of MDMA every 30 seconds for 10 minutes, as a pose to 200 mg at once.
The way it comes on would actually be noticeably different, with a morr instant and sudden pronounced come up.
Everything is different for different folks. Some people may just prefer one particular type of hit or feeling to another. Could be just an individual thing? Im keeping open to all sides of this though.

This is the rig i tried a few days ago:

And this was the hit:
This has been my DD for the last year or two, no other WT i have owned has lasted this long as a DD!
![]()
And this is a hits from it! Maybe 12 hole diffuser and that is it! Can is 9 inches tall and around 2 inches in diameter. The experience is totally different to the smaller WT.
My FP is always set at the same temp or noted in the video description. Herb used is all similar quality.
I get what you are saying as i experience it as well! Guess we are crazy together!
Our weed must be better...
I have been using raw distillate with 3 drops of terpenes per gram and it is WAY strong in the flavor department. I would think rosin might even be able to get away with 1 or 2 drops. I use a 510 tank with a ceramic element. No weird dilutions just cannabis products.
no heat? just drops and stir?
Just like @biohacker I really LOVE that bubbler!! Want one. Well jel blood trust!@Danksta

As many things as I've ordered on DHgate including glass pieces, it's amazing more dont come broken! I haven't had a single issue yet. I'd say it's rare but it may be seller dependant![]()
Folks,
I personally have over 3 dozen glass pieces. I have used ALL of them with my FlowerPots.
P.S. My favorite FlowerPot rig for "Daily Driving" is a TaG 12" superslit matrix diffuser bent neck. Fat can bent neck rigs and larger sidecars seem to have just the right internal volume for my preferences!

@Danksta I have a dhgate mobius clone coming that has a bit more of a can from my recycler and I am very excited to try it! I am not really thinking it's going to give me more vapor though unless there's something to do with the pressure the percolator is creating which ramps up the temps/etc, compared to my lil recycler. I'm all about comparisons with all devices! I am not worried the FP won't impress, I think a lot of it has to do with the mindset at the time too. I had my step-son try the enail and the very first words out of his mouth, even before the vapor was exhaled was "I dont like it". Oddly enough, every time he comes over to the house he wants to use it. Draw your own conclusions!

Would there be any reason one would recommend the 18mm Male over the 14mm Male? I understand it's a matter of glass compatibility although if it'd be better to buy an 18mm Male and then convert for my 14mm pieces...I'd rather do that. Guess I'm curious if the internal diameter of the 18 is bigger than the 14 or if it is just the outer diameter being the difference.
Also, for being a primarily flower user, would the "FlowerPot w/ Showerhead Starter Kit" be my best option to get into the FP world?
TIA!
