Spotted this cool little Chinese takeout bong on Reddit today 🈲

Yeah hemper has a lot of wacky little rigs, the quality is so so, tend to be overpriced, I enjoy the sea turtle orb I got though so I guess can be worthwhile for the design

Before I got my Aqua Lab J Hook, I ended up using a Hemper bong dry for my ZX even more than I did my FC-MOD. This is the one I use:

I still love it. I was using it dry with all my other vapes, too. It's a great dry piece. I liked it a good bit less with water than dry.

Fun! This is the one I have in blue:
I found it on eBay at the time from another seller to save like $10 (still a little high tbh)

So I recently passed up on an opportunity to buy a second hand CC Influx and, needless to say, I’m pretty bummed about it. Was wondering if there are any pieces on DHGate that would be somewhat similar or comparable in looks/function?

The one I posted above has a more traditional look but the function is also really good. Nice with ball vapes, etc. I think they are both based on the same classic piece with the Vertex having a bigger reservoir and the SAML a more open pull.

Interesting you mention that it has a more open pull; I would expect the opposite, SAML being 14mm as opposed to the 18mm of the Influx. I might go for it to ease the pain till the Influx is back in stock :brow:

I think it's how they lift the water: the Influx lifts the water a lot higher than the SAML does (water travels a further distance while compressed in the tube); my assumption is that takes more force.

Yeah the one above, that's the new klein from popular glass that I had them make based on an older design that is no longer available anywhere... Elements of it inspired the influx as well, so it is a fantastic herbal recycler for vaping and also dabbing too, and also very hard to beat the price!

Yeah the SamL is more of a direct clone of that piece, with just a couple changes really (like I had them do a slight angling on the bottom of the vortex chamber so the water would drain more fully) and of course it still has the incycler drain from the original that goes through the slitted fountain perc

Haha yeah 14 or 18 is not that simple, the rest of the design affects it, for one thing though the stock influx mouthpiece has a much more narrow opening, so there is more mouthpiece air flow with the stock setup in the one from SamL regardless of size, and it is a smaller piece holding less water... Furthermore the design of the influx vortex chamber is different, it is designed in a way that it automatically easily forces a vortex regardless of the water level or pull, so that affects the air flow pull a bit as well...

So they are quite different, yet can accomplish the same experience of having a nice versatile klein vortex funnel recycler (both have more air flow than many other traditional recyclers actually) that is great for herbal vaping in particular :tup:

Thank you both @coolbreeze and @Shit Snacks for the consistently excellent feedback! One last thing, I already have
this which I love and can defo handle a ball vape despite the size; would that be too much of an overlap with the SamL one or are they reasonably different?

I think they are different, I like the SamL style much more (sold my own Biao RBR 3.0 first too at least) mainly because of the matrix perc, but also SamL has less water and easier pull for full function with more vapes (a better vortex in my experience that is more consistent) Plus the right angle in line style joint is better for klein recycler, air flow pull style, and allows more connections imo

Thank you @the_hexx for bringing up the question and thanks a lot to @Shit Snacks and @coolbreeze for the detailed explanations. Since I don't own a recycler yet I just ordered the SamL one that has been discussed above. Looking forward to that piece! :brow:

Newbie question: Is it dishwasher save...?

Surprised you didn't already have that one, almost completing the collection! I think all the glass would be? I don't have dishwasher

Well I had to get the SamL too, just one more left it seems!

Yeah, nice! :rockon:

Btw @El Duderino love to see your transition from a curious FC wanderer to a full-blown VAS-lord. Keep it up :rockon:

Hehe, thank you very much! That's mainly due to the fantastic FC community and the incredible knowledge of the great members here. Without them, I wouldn't be where I am now. Probably, I wouldn't have VAS, but also wouldn't have a new awesome hobby. :lol:

As @coolbreeze put it so perfectly: Your bank account is screwed, the rest of you are about to have some fun! :D

Ordered a couple of pieces today:
The Ballr was my first and favourite glass for ages and ages, and the best globe that's readily available in the UK. Milks nicely dry, but also gives a really pleasing chuggy experience with water, too (especially for hotter/convection-heavy vapes). And a delight to cradle, when not using it on a surface.

No idea about the other one - be sure to write it up

Has anyone seen a bigger version of this anywhere? Looking for 12” height with a little bigger base and removeable downstem.

Also any recommendations for a water piece that would work well reclining on the couch. Most pieces don’t have enough bend to them. Currently use a saki bottle but want something a little bigger with a diffuser.

This higher standards eBay shop in San Diego has some new designs in stock, this one is pretty heady:

Many mushroom rigs, like:

Yoshi eggs and the cycler:

Balloon dog:

Rubber ducky in bath:
Plenty of other colors

These kind of recyclers:

And finally only one left of this pink sidecar rig with modular mouthpiece:
That I am extremely tempted by even though I am supposed to be done again lol because I had been thinking about how nice it would be to have something with an angled joint like that for straight mouthpieces... However it is 14 mm, when most of my street mouthpieces are all 18 mm, so I could use adapters more... Also far from my favorite perc in the downstem, although I really like the milky pink and white coloring!

Nice find! Hopefully they put up more like the last pink modular one. It would be even cooler if they offered a version with removable down stem like the Gooroo and FC-MOD. Nice prices too. :rockon:

Yeah unfortunately someone else bought it before I could stop waffling lol typical because I shared it here first, that's happened to me before, still a little bummed about a heady one I missed out on haha

I messaged them to ask if they would get more made, if they could make them with 18 for the mouthpiece instead of 14 there? However they told me this is the last of them, they won't be making more, however there might be one left somewhere so they will let me know... Fine either way I guess

Not sure where they get their inspiration how they commission their designs or if they just take them as they get them?? hmm does seem like they have a unique supplier or special custom deal with whatever factory they use as I don't see them elsewhere

Edit to Add: they did just find one more of these^ rigs and let me know in time, listing was reactivated and I bought it within 20 minutes so it was still available! Especially cheap with PayPal 4 payment plan and I'm sure I could resell it later if necessary...

Oh yeah the store is higher education not higher standards made a mistake before lol

I’ve ordered from them before. Excellent quality although not the thickest glass. Sure it was something you posted long ago in this thread :lol:

Ha yes I do remember sharing their stuff here before, they always have new pieces going up and out of stock, certainly doesn't look like the thickest glass, but I think the piece I'm getting looks decent at least?

Ordered a couple of pieces today:

Looking at an additional cooling stem for the globe piece. I have found one I like, it comes with a carb or not with a carb and I am not sure what I should choose. I plan to hit it dry if that makes a difference (although maybe I will also hit through water, who knows what the future holds? 😂).
Anyway, what do folks think, carb on the cooling stem mouthpiece or not? 🤔
My inclination is no carb, I think I would prefer something slightly more hands free, even if not totally hands free and I am not sure I appreciate the value of a carb? If I get one or the other, will I regret my choice later? Hard to say of course and an option is get two but I would prefer to just get one for now if possible.
