SunshineStore order finally arrived today! Ordered 6/25 when I thought it was the male version, a few days later they told me it was a female so I switched to get a 14-14 male to male adapter with my 18-18 female female adapter (they were out of 14 females) and they threw in a free 18-14 male to male as well! One was to replace the bowl that comes with it, not bad for $31...
Very good quality, thick glass, even joints and perc (much better in person than in the listing's photo with the male connection) The slitted shower head circ perc is a nice function, I filled enough water to cover the slits, probably the length of the slit s above them, nice load diffusion good action, with more water I'm sure it would work well and be a different experience so I will try that at some point...
Works very well with the FW7 as planned, the mouthpiece also isn't that bad, better than the CaliBear style, still flat yet more open, good airflow (and obviously smaller piece though lol) Yeah it is short, great handheld, but close to your face... So I think I will ask them again if it may be possible to replace the mouthpiece with a standard joint connection for a future batch!
^This is the way to use it, the drop down fits perfectly, making it even more handheld, and now possible to watch it fill with vapor thanks to the longer path and a slower draw... Yeah that's how I can see it is nice even filtration action! Nice soft smooth purr, the drop down will also help the water cleaner of course. Going to have fun trying this with other vapes, but I am already very happy with it, much more than I expected!
The thing I was most excited for, was the female to female adapter, it is a nice one, very thick, and actually completely straight without the wide middle connection that most every single other one on DHgate has... There is actually a slight chip in each side of it, but they are not sharp fortunately, and the glasses so thick that it is completely structurally intact and functionally I'm not mad at it honestly for the price!
What I am mad at, is that footed male to male hook piece from Yingmin, remember how that male joint was fucked up? The shorter one, well yeah the female to female adapter wobbles on it, not a big deal because I could use the neck piece as the bowl why not, as pictured below... However even the hydro tube is wobbly, seems like everything will be on that wonky ass joint (not just because of the side cut but it seems like the whole thing is a little tall and the side cut further complicates, I think I'm going to tell them they should actually cut it down further, there's no reason for it to need to be tall, I think it will connect much better if they completely cut off that wonky part and just make it a shorter joint, I am going to tell them that!)
*ignore the dirty glass, I did not put much effort into cleaning it, because I don't use it, HydraCirc is much better than this HydraTree honestly, so I think I will clean it, but then swap it into storage and whip out the circ?? Unless I want to try the tree with the FC-Mod circ perc first since the last time it was double circ
I have an idea to make this one usable, I mean I guess I will try it as is but I think I need to put some tape or silicone around the bottom of the joint to help it fully properly seal with things in a safe way without wobbling... I'll have to search around and figure something out, tape would not be so nice but it may be the easiest lol

). I was wondering where they got them.
