Understood on the mouthpiece, thanks for the info. FC-UFO mouthpiece vote: #5

Good call on a new thread @blankrider. I'll be posting in this one from here on out. Regarding the FC-187 V2, were any changes made to the mouthpiece? I was probably the "squeekiest gear" in this regard and want to get another one that is lefty friendly (but with a more user friendly mouthpiece).

Per @Tweak I purchased a 4 pack of these: Rabbit Wine Stoppers and added some silicone tubing and an enano stem at the end. It's working awesome for my setup. Just clip the end on the wine stopper, pop out the metal plug, then insert your tubing (or mouthpiece) into the stopper.

Thanks @blankrider, it's appreciated. And yeah, if mine was only 1cm, you would have heard nothing from me on this matter. I'm still thinking it is due to the style, although I could be wrong. Let me put it a different way.. If they were forced to weld it with a bead, do you think they could...

Aesthetically I can deal with it. It's the variance in vertical alignment that I am having an issue with. From viewing what others have posted, it seems like the perc is anywhere from 1/8" to 1" from the base of the can. Both of my GBs are roughly 1/16" from the base of the can, while my FC is...

Production standpoint. If the blower only has 1/8" to connect the perc to the base, it will only vary in vertical measurements of equal to or less than 1/8". If they are simply making rough tubes (downstems) with percs added say every 6" before cutting into 12 total perc/downstem combo, there...

My take on the FC-187: General feelings: Good. Solid build quality, good design with 2 exceptions. For $40 I'd buy again, although I'd spend the extra $5 every time if the GB-187 were available (due to my exceptions). Perc: This is exception 1. I prefer my GB's for the simple fact that they...

Thanks. The added length now let's me see what is going on. On that note, my perc seems good to go, firing evenly. Will look into getting some of those mouthpieces for the SSV, that's a good design. One of the reasons I gave away my NO2 was that I hated the plastic mouthpiece and/or whip. I...

Nice. I'm definitely going to look into your suggestions, thank you. I primarily vape in one spot, so having a few whips/extenders will make this entire experience more enjoyable with a few of my pieces. Besides, I ordered 10' of silicone tubing.. I'm going to need to find a use for it.

Alright, so I hacked my mouthpiece to acceptable functionality with a standard stem with the silicone sleeve. Basically, I carefully wedged it into the mouthpiece making sure that only the sleeve made contact with the mouthpiece. This is one of the later, thicker stems. Just tested this, and...

For simplicity due to you being new, I'd get a D020-D and a stock 18mm GonG from Epicvape. This will get you up and running in about 2 weeks for less than $50. Then start exploring other options/setups as your budget deems fit. I have 2 carbed GonG's inbound from @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd, and am excited...

@Trogdor Thanks. All my testing with the FC has left me a little.. high. I realized that there is no "factory solution" to my current predicament. Although now I think my next piece will be one with a removable mouthpiece, so I can do a whip with the GonG's you've linked. Much appreciated...

Very, very nice. That's what I'm doing, cheers for the motivation pic. Anyone have any links to what I need? To keep it on topic, via a Chinese vendor.. for cheap.. and quality?

As much as I hate my D-20-W's mouthpiece, I'm actually going to use it the rest of the day. I need cigarette like suction after more testing with the FC-187. Just tried 2 full GonG's and the same fucking problem. I feel like I am drawing 60-70% compared to any other piece I have used in my...

Thank you. It is Maple Burl. Better picture: Regarding the FC-187, not sure if this is going to replace my GB's. Like my other sidecars, craning my neck to use it is a bit annoying. Another thing I realized after breaking it in is that I don't care for the mouthpiece. It is not possible for...

Got my FC-187 as well. It was delivered on Wednesday, I picked it up from the office today. Packaging was like others have stated, a little less bubble wrap than I would normally be comfortable with. Regarding size, this thing is a beast. Slightly larger than both of my GB-187's. Build quality...

I have zero interest in recyclers and I'm still buying that piece when available. Great job.

Observation regarding "likes" and whether or not a piece will be submitted to Chinese glass blowers based on "the vote." Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. As I stated in an early reply when this thread was started, it is a great idea. But it is not your...

I'm speechless.. Very cool seeing them together @sasNW.

Be careful @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd, you're approaching the "too pretty to use" level. Very nice progress these past few months. @GSH, not my colour preferences, but damn.. you scored.
