I have been eyeing their 14mm version (nothing a 14 to 18mm dropdown cannot fix) as the can void above the perc is a tab big on the 18mm version for my liking, the 14mm is also long but at least narrower for easy clearing.

Thank you, that one's on my wish list for a long time already. I was just hoping they will release an 18mm version but that doesn't seem to happen. I would be very interested to hear about your experience with it.

I have and like this one. It’s very open for a 14mm. Works with everything I use (but I don’t use ball vapes!)

Try an 18mm quarts cap or a terpcicle as a baller alternativeVery nice, thanks for the info!

Ok that terpcicle thing looks awesome!
Will definitely check that out, thank you!

Just got mine too! Yea it’s big so liking the QC-18, terpcicle, and screwball with it. Some action from the SAML thread
Straight fab arrived! Awesome looking in person and hits just as expected. Very similar to the fc199 with the same perc, in a different form (maybe a tad more open).

Vapvana would definitely be the way to go for a complete bundle for a reasonable price... personally I would never get anything from CH at this point (I'm an advocate for cloud connoisseur of course but there are a lot of options for budget friendly ballers especially with alternative heating methods)
I was not suggesting you grab that one, just stating it as an example, since the one from Steven is basically a clone of it originally...
Gili version is also way too large with worse perc, but JC glassshop honeycomb version has a size in between CaliBear and SamL it seems...
Otherwise yeah I would have suggested that one, but I know you already knew about it, I thought you were just waiting for the 18 version to go in stock because you wanted the larger one? They are never going to make an 18 of the smaller version unless we specifically request it... But remember there's no reason to care, don't you have the drop down to go 18-14 now anyway??

@Shit Snacks: As always, thanks a lot for your detailled reply.
I would love to hear more details and your personal opinion on this, especially why you wouldn't get anything from CH. But that's not the topic in this thread, so maybe I'd drop you a quick PM when I'm planning to buy a ball vape - you might have a tip.
JC unfortunately doesn't ship to Switzerland...
I didn't necessarily want the larger one, I just wanted an 18mm version. But don't get me wrong, I'm happy with the piece - I just need the right vape to go with it (and that's usually not a problem thanks to VAS...
).
Ok, I see, thanks for the clarification. And yes, I have a drop down. I just had the impression that going from 18mm to 14mm wasn't quite ideal because of the airflow. So I always try to find 18mm versions. But maybe that's not so important?

Yeah, not important at all, if you refuse to buy 14 mm rigs, you are only limiting yourself since there are many designs that are just not available as 18 and would not work as well that way... 14 is a more prevalent connection despite not having as wide open air flow that's not necessarily necessary anyway? Most vapes work well with it and smaller volume and a little restriction helps that milk up quicker to regulate your draw too, I use my 18-14 dropdown adapters a lot, I think that's why I brought them up in the first place, talking about that 14 mm smaller straight fab and how it could easily be used with 18 still (although it has less of a fab as well)
El Duderino
The Dude abides.
Well, that opens up a whole new world for me!
Thank you very much - as you can see, I still have a thing or two to learn... 
And yes, if I remember correctly, you're absolutely right, the topic regarding drop downs actually came up because of the smaller straight fab.
It's crazy: I bought the big 18mm straight fab thinking it would be perfect with the TM2, but it's not and now that leads me to the ball vapes I need for the big straight fab, subsequently I read about the Terpcicle and the Quarts Cap (oh yes, I need that!), this week I'll get my first Runt, a TA3 is ordered - and now you are telling me that I don't have to be limited by 14mm?
Thanks a lot @Shit Snacks, extremely helpful, really appreciate it!
Man, what a hobby - love it!

I was in the 18mm only boat myself but there were just so many 14mm rigs that I wanted that I caved and just add a 14mm to 18mm dropdown to each 14mm rig I get. Still, I'm not too fond of any restriction when using a bong though, and the reason I dislike fritted percs and the like.
Just wanted to say the glass is very thin on this piece, I knocked it over while empty on my silicone covered wooden bench top and the mouthpiece parted ways with the body (the glass was paper thin at the join)...I will not be buying another (as I have others that I have broken) as I am clumsy and it is too fragile for butterfingers...it did function pretty well though.I usually prefer clear glass but I do use cranberry extract so I went for the pink as it will be camouflaged!

Sorry to hear that Les. It's a nice looking piece, but yeah, definitely looks fragile..
Shit Snacks

Yeah sorry to hear, understand why you wouldn't want to replace, it is cheap and thin for sure, the function is nice though yes (I wonder if you could source from a different manufacturer if it might be better or maybe blue better than pink but who knows)

Yo Les! Bummer!
Have you tried using one of these yet or something similar?:
Grip Mat
Silicone Grip Protective Mat - Sticky surface helps keep your rig from being knocked over by pets - Keep your Terp Pearls / Accessories from Rolling Around or off the Table - Keep your cup or torch from getting knocked over - Many more uses!
Something maybe worth looking into...?

I have similar to hold my garage remote to my car dash, great stuff, probably tear the mouthpiece off that particular bong when trying to remove it from that sticky mat!It's practically like super glue and requires either great effort or technique to remove and is pretty much impossible to knock over...
I usually strap my bongs down, this was just sat on the bench top to get to another rig behind it and ol butterfingers missed the grab when going to put it back under the bench...I really need to make some shelving or get something to store them all in.

Ha, well, yeah, if you try to do it like that... but using the proper technique makes it relatively easy to remove stuff w/o issue.
Oh, I remember the leather (or rubber?) straps....
not suggesting so much that you change your current routine, but they may be something worth adding say, for when you have a couple of rigs out and about for whatever the reasons. I don't use mine all the time, only when I think it may be wise....

Interesting, it has a middle donut section with swiss holes, honestly looks pretty ugly? lol the klein incycler part is a common inclusion from them I guess, I wonder how well it works, probably more of a dab rig?

Ha. You wanna see fugly AND stupid? Look what this monkey right here did, apparently a few weeks ago that I only just noticed today:

Yup, zero recollection finalizing anything and no, I wasn't drunk or on anything other than weed either. The only thing I vaguely remember was trying to figure out what the final cost with shipping would be.... on my phone, late at night in bed perusing... but apparently I paid for it, too. Ugh. Thought I was done buying shit.
Edit: oh and this, too...?! Why?
Absolutely both were mistakes. I already have a Tater Tot I rarely use... sucks.

Man, this combo is awesome!
The 18mm Quartz Cap works really great with the large straight fab (and vice versa)! It's a huuuge difference from my first experience with the TM. The flavor is so clear and detailed despite the water, and the airflow is ridiculously wide open - I love it!
Thank you so much @nicknobody, your brief comment above got me interested in the TED's by TRWW and I'm truly grateful for that. Those are such awesome pieces! And your tip regarding the combination of straight fab and QC was also excellent - thank you for that too.
This pure glass path (ok, still a screen inside) - a truly unique, wonderful experience!
