Looks like a job for!
If it's glass that's all good then, It just really looks plastic like to me in that video.

Can we ensure that the Chinese manufacturer understand it should be glass?

I never thought that an upgrade would exist for my GB-186-1 and D020-w female version. It feels like they were both made for the nano!

but...after seeing this new FC-187... Count me in for two of them. I can already tell that it will be an upgrade :love:

Well considering the Mothership Seed of Life percs are laser cut, I doubt we will see any Chinese knockoffs any time soon
But they might be able to do something like the SGW waffle perc, which is very similar

They're trying lol. Seems like a few more weeks till they polish things up or get close but I'm really interested in getting cheap eggs. Just mentioned this to a supplier 2 days ago and he started to test things out.

He also mentioned it's hard for them to do laser cut designs so I'm not expecting much..

Lol, by my count we're over 20 buyers right now, plus another 10-20 from the FC lurkers (:wave:). Yeah, it'll probably sell out the first day it's available! (@blankrider PLEASE let us know if you get any advanced notice when it's available!)

Just watch, I'll see this piece in my LHS in the near future (I've seen the GB-186 list for $275, the GB-187 list for $250, and the D020-w for $165) - I'd love to point at it and laugh at their outrage price then tell them how we designed it and even put a list price on it!

OMG. Dude, you have DONE IT. I have been out of this thread for weeks because I am really not in the market for more glass UNLESS WE GET A 187 SIDECAR! How fucking cool. Where do I send my money?

I think I just found the best Peyote Piller video.

Wow. Never saw one of those before. Very cool...

Edit: Hey! @blankrider We need some kind of beeper or something to let us know when this (FC-187) is available. Don't want to miss the first ordering opportunity...

Been looking at it, but don't see how it is an upgrade to the gb-186. That's pretty much a perfect piece for the nano. Not having the nano attatched to the can is nice too.

Also, just curious, what's the fuss with mouthpieces on the side. I like pieces that are symmetrical. More balance/stability. Hope they never change the design of the gb-186, aside from straightening out the mouthpieces and percs. Shouldn't be to difficult.

My piece made in California is not straight however works well anyway.
No pictures of this one however it's used a lot!

My Washington state blown oil rig is shoddy and sloppy compared to the GB-187 that was delivered to me this week. Whoever worked mine was definitely a highly skilled craftsman.

I had a highdea tonight that a DHGate seller would be clever to name their store "Cheap High Quality Bubblers".

@blankrider you can count me in on two of the sidecar 187's. The mouthpiece height will be perfect for when I must vape while laying on my back. The GB-187 is just a little too tall to recline and vape comfortably, but otherwise everything I want.

Anyone wanna buy all the other not quite right bubblers I bought before I found this? (joke, not wts)

Damn you, party liquor
@blankrider many thanks for all your efforts. I'm definitely in on the FC187 because...you know... I need another piece:brow:
I will say though, you might reconsider the hydratube when requesting pieces. It may be limited to a specific market but so is the PNWT knockoff and it is carried by several stores IIRC and is still selling. A bent neck 18 mm HT with ice pinches is probably easier to produce than some requests I've seen tossed around. Just sayin...:p

Also want to say that my GB-242 that I got yesterday, in 8 days, by the way,is a tiny little lung buster. My dropdown hasn't arrived yet so I've lego'ed together something to fit my male nail( giggity) and it still blows my head off. The vortex is unreal. It is thin glass like has been mentioned, but its still easily one of my favorite dh gate pieces.

Its all preference, but I often wish that the 186-1 had a little bit less diffusion for use with the nano. I also prefer a slightly smaller can and base for daily use

I agree that it has an amazing design to use with any vaporizer, and is a very aesthetic bubbler. I wouldn't trade it for any other chinese piece. Its a permanent part of my arsenal.

What I consider an upgrade may not be for different tastes

What type of perc does your GB186 have? Dose it have one or two horizontal bands? Does it have the same perc as the GB-187 and FC-187, or like the D020-W with only a single band?

I recently saw a piece at my LHS which looked identical to the GB-186 I've seen Yingmin sell, but it had the same perc as my D020-W which would mean it has slightly LESS diffusion than your piece (about 33% less).

I'm sure if you look hard enough on DH-gate, you'll find two different versions of the GB-186.
If I come across it online, I'll shoot you a link, there are a ton of sellers selling that design under different names (Marrte is one of them)

My 186 from yingmin has double bands on both percs
Click to expand...

That's the crazy part - I almost wanted to take a picture because when I looked at it - I immediately recognized it had the wrong perc for that piece - It was identical to my D020-W single band birdcage.

Yingmin's GB-186 absolutely has a much nicer double-banded birdcage perc. Otherwise the piece at my LHS was identical. Two single-banded birdcage percs, same flared mouthpiece, no logos, nice thick glass. Except it had a $275 firm price tag!

Tried searching DHgate for the same piece, but I couldn't find it

Same here. Before that, the last thing I bought was a 200 dollar SYN years ago. Then when this thread came up and the d-020 was posted it changed my thoughts on cheap glass. Until dhgate, to me the only available china glass was local overpriced head shop pieces with way too many tree percs. Now I get to own a wide selection of styles and percs for the price of that one syn tube.

Please help. I am about to order my 1st piece ever from I think sunshine store a DO20 that looked really nice. I need something small/portable but w a good amount of diffusion; some on this site may know that I have to extra careful with my throat. It's for my new solo but the adapters I have ordered are for 18 mm (1 from planetvape and one from Ed) I hope I just wrote all that correctly. I have a beautiful big doughboy and an evo sidecirc so I think the DO20 will be a nice addition. Who is the best to order from and is there any particular one that is 6-8 inches high. Don't I need one that's 18 mm?

Can't everyone tell that I still have no clue what I'm doing? But I did learn the solo pretty fast - I just can't seem to hook her up yet and everyone on the solo site seems to love their solos and their water toys!!
