Thanks for the review @MasonJar. I'm spending way too much time looking at glass, deciding where to start, and you add another to consider. The diffusion pumps have caught my eye but now I'm looking into the CCG straight fab. The small size looks easy to handle.

I know what you mean... there are many excellent options out there including the CCG Straight Fab. Why not get both? :)

I've never been a huge fan of glass, probably because I've only used big pieces and always had trouble clearing them. I'm hoping a small piece is more of a draw-through instead of a fill it and clear it which should work better for me. I'm hoping to pick one piece that I'll be happy with, at least for awhile. Lots of other gear on my wants-list--gotta spread the love!

Ya'll might want to start your own lighter thread...

Im sure most people in here wouldnt mind a few links for troches, since they are so very closely related to this glass we are discussing (i for 1 am dealing with chronic pain and only use this glass for dabs)

if u looked back in this thread a few years you will see that various accessories have been posted in this thread before.

Was that all you wanted to say or do you have something to contribute?

:p

I agree most logos should be scarped off :D

SoL on the "side" of the perc on my fab egg is really nice, but im guessing the great pull is coming from the "shape" of the over all piece and not the perc holes alone.


Another topic :

Is it possible to get the real Blazer torches off dhgate or a replica?

Im only able to find this style:

You said it yourself. Please take torch discussions to an appropriate thread. Thanks for your cooperation.

Both the FC-710 and Straight Fab are relatively small... I find them both easy to clean... Come to think of it all the pieces in my collection are easy to clean. I usually clean my bongs the day after I use them. I just pour dish washing soap / hot water in a 50-50 mix filling the bong reservoir about 1/3 full. I cover the openings of the bong with saran wrap and secure these with rubber bands. I then tilt the bong end to end to let the solution flow from one end to the other without generating too much bubbles... rotating the piece as I tilt it so the solution "paints" all the insides of the bong. After about 1 to 2 minutes of this I start shaking the bong for a couple of seconds. I remove the saran wrap and rinse the bong with hot water and finally cold water so the condensation will not form inside when drying it. Bongs come out clean as new. The key for me is to wash after every use.

I am a little OCD in keeping my bongs clean... The upside is that the vapor tastes great when I use them.

@MasonJar
How tall is the smallest rig in your picture? (left-center with the yellow-orange vapcap band) Can I ask the source? I'm looking for another small rig like that.

The mouthpiece on that FC-710 looks thin enough to slice you, I also noted @MasonJar D020-d has the latest style thinner mouthpiece as well. My old d020-d had a nice fat mouthpiece end...not anymore. I would share my picture showing the difference but that is too hard...we need an UPLOAD FILE button ffs it's nearly 2020:cuss:

Has anyone used the piece that PIU sells? It's hard to tell what the perc looks like from their pic so any pics would be great.

Go to their website & contact them, asking for a pic. They'll happily oblige.

I find Randy's integrity, genuineness & humility/respectfullness very attractive. I really like the person he is. I enjoy watching his streams.
Three thumbs up for PIU. :tup:

(Just wanted you, @PuffItUp, to know that all your hard work & efforts on behalf of our community are appreciated & valued. :nod: :)

Now that you mentioned it the mouthpiece on the FC-710 does look thin especially in comparison to the others in the pic. However it appears to be the same thickness as the one advertised on PopularGlass (stevenlmz79):

Speaking of mouthpieces, I do prefer using the style used on the 8" CCG Straight Fab and 7.4" Oil Rig in the pic compared to the flared, thinner mouthpieces on the D020-D, D020, and FC-710.

@MasonJar, if you prefer the other style mouthpiece, why'd you go with the FC-710 instead of the RattleCan? Price? The RattleCan appeals more to me but it seems the FC-710 gets recommended more often. Any RattleCan users wishing they'd gone with the FC-710 instead?

The primary reason was the price of the FC-710 from Ebizcn... Less than half the price of the rattle can. Second reason was based on what I have read such as this post on r/chinaglass and also elsewhere.

I really think you can't go wrong with either of them... The Rattle Can does look like it is built like a tank... Kind of similar to my 7.4" Oil Rig which has the thickest glass of all my pieces.

Tough call. I like the newer version better aesthetically & the base & mp are thicker glass, but I like the older one because of the height & angle of the spout. Seems it would be more comfortable to lean over, so I'd choose the older one based solely on ergonomics. But, frankly, I'd choose another rig that had all the above attributes.

I agree on all points. Durability is big for me (+1 RC) but the mouthpiece height looks better on the FC-710.

Anything specific? The diffusion pumps get great reviews, I like the idea, but I'm definitely open to suggestions. Thanks!

I have a wide variety of sizes and styles of pieces and they all work differently.
I have found I enjoy using them all for different reasons with different vapes and all can and have been my"favorite" often on the same day.
Gas is worse than vas in many ways all it takes is one.
