I got Yinmin5 to produce a version of the Rattle Can as I was sick of the Stevenimz Monopoly and poor QC.
The VA-Rattle Can;

This is the lowest any of their mouthpieces will be mounted (too much higher and you can suck water up like a straw while diffusing)
Cheaper, thicker base, longer diffusion tube (from ball up to 45 cut), slightly higher (more room to grip the body for people with larger hands) nicer mouthpiece and is now my daily driver, my other 2x RC from Stevenimz are now backup spares.

18mm male to 14mm female? its a GonG 14mm vaporizer
I found only one Vapcap at a time was too restrictive on the RC, much better with 2 at a time to get it crackling.
Long necked rattle can ordered.
Lets see what arrives.
EDIT: I didnt contact them first to ask for one thats been made properly Thought I'd just order and see what happens. If its sub par, I will throw it back in their general direction.
I like my FC-710 too and was using it with my EVO for a long time since the flavor is spectacular on the first couple hits. The adapter converts it to a female and you would have no idea its a male rig function wise. Also the male joints were popular for female titanium nails for dabbing since the male nails could easily break a female joint from he inside. I'm sure the percs are very similar in the different diffusion pump models on dhgate but there really is nothing wrong with the FC-710 and although I like the aesthetics of the newer ones and the thicker glass I haven't had a real problem with this one or need for another. The glass may look thin but it can still hold up to a good beating and I doubt that the other models are worth 2x the price.
I have been mostly using my bongs with vapcaps tips mounted on the DDavemod V2 stem and a Chillium pipe. Titanium tip on the DDavemod v2 stem and a modded (added notches to the tip to mimic the titanium tip) 2018 M Steel tip on the chillium pipe.
@MasonJar What do you like about the FC-710 over the CCG straight fab? I have a CCG klein and enjoy the pull with the FOL perc but for the first hit or so the FC-710 really shines and I love its unique chug and sound.
If I start a conversation with a chinese seller about making their own version of the rattle can with the long neck, has anyone got suggestions for what might be improved/changed?
Another member tried to get a few sellers to make rattle cans but most couldn’t figure out how to get the ball inside the perc. I don’t like the direction that Stevens rattle can mouthpiece placement has taken recently but I’m not sure there’s much options and another reason I’ve stuck to the FC-710 as it almost seems like they have a mold for that model since it’s reamined pretty consistent over the years unlike Stevens’s other pieces.If I start a conversation with a chinese seller about making their own version of the rattle can with the long neck, has anyone got suggestions for what might be improved/changed?
That’s great! And I think It might be more productive to try to get Steven to improve his quality so no one has to deal with this issue.I'm very happy with the replacement RC I received from Stevenlmz but it was a major PITA to get it. Not to mention that it wouldn't have happened at all without help from my friend @LesPlenty!
Comparison photo, replacement on the right. Note where the mouthpiece stem is attached to the body and the overall placement of the inside tubes. They sound and hit very differently. I've yet to sip bongwater from the replacement.
