That's what i thought. I hoped not though, it'd probably sound like Cherry Bombs on an old pickup when pulling it. For that price I'd rather go with the GB-186, i just love that Damn old style can!

Hey what are the better vortexes on dhgate? I know theres a lot of recyclers but I'm lookin for a halfway decent vortex. The GB-242 has a nice spiral but right now its sold out and its been sold out for a while now

@grdwaste that guy glass fire department is such a dick head. I tried asking him for water test when I first saw him selling DHgate glass. He said that he would post some but then he blocked me and started making rude post on my page. Someone should report him to fakepipebusta.
I got one of these $40 buckets on eBay. The seller was Dab Philosophy and the quartz arm does not fit the bucket correctly. They also do not have discreet shipping and when I contacted them to politely complain they were very rude and said if I did not my "mommy" to know I should not have ordered. Seriously out of line

I want to order a glass bubbler for my E-Nano, was thinking to order the D020-D or D020-2S (below), but am open to suggestions of similar price range, I would also like a vortex recycler which do people recommend?

@NorthernHuskie just wait. I'm working on getting an FC-242 made. It is going to be amazing. Here is the very first rough prototype.
If the GB-242 does come back in stock I do recommend picking one up. Mine has become my daily driver dab rig

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

hmmm got a reply from Kathy about the honey bucket... "ok, we will make some and sell next week,thank you" I responded with, "you can make these out of quartz? they are not glass" so at least the idea is planted, but I am not sure if they are going to attempt to get the glass blowers to make knock offs or what. Just not enough information to work with here. I just assumed she would try to order them bulk.
... still no updates on my double vortex tracking, hoping it's just the holiday slowing it down. It's been 2 weeks now, since it left the sort in china.

Damn, that looks pretty slick. Like @nihil I'm not a huge recycler fan but I'll probably get one anyway just to try out.@NorthernHuskie just wait. I'm working on getting an FC-242 made. It is going to be amazing. Here is the very first rough prototype.

In other news, my fab egg from Kathy came today! It's a bit smaller than I thought, about the same size as the Diffusion Pump. The only issue I found with it is that the bottom perc is at a slight angle instead of straight but it doesn't seem to affect function. Hits great with good flavour.

D020-D came today. Merry Christmas to me, and to you all.

It's here!!! FC-187 just arrived and now unboxed. Bad news (for me) is that my nano is not here, and not enough time or inclination to pull out the EQ. Will be back to my nano in a couple hours and already pretty vaked anyway (da, na, na, na, na, na, na, na - VAPMAN!).
Sorry.. no pics or vids right now. Trying to finish gift wrapping and get back to girlfriends (and nano!
).
Initial impressions....
Packed OK, but not like what we've been seeing from China lately. One thin bubble wrap layer around FC-187 in box (also some newspaper and a few rolled up empty plastic bags). Double boxed, but only one piece of styrofoam on one end between boxes and nothing on outside. Label says "Candle holder". Piece was unscathed by it's long journey.
Included was one really cheesy bowl shaped slide. No cheap vapor dome/nail.
Looks pretty nice. Glasswork is good, not great. Joints a bit buldgy, but no biggie. GonG is pretty deep compared to other pieces, but don't think this will be a problem. It just sits a bit further down into top of can (2-3mm?).
Birdcage is pretty high off bottom of can (about 3/4"). It is supported/joined to bottom of can, but different than anything else I have seen. The downtube runs all the way to the base, with perc incorporated along the way. Sorry no pic, and kind of hard to explain, but can touch base itself through dewar joint with a stick or something. Everything else I have seen the perc is sealed at bottom of itself, then a piece below that ties it to base of can. Don't think this will effect use at all. Just odd.
Downtube isn't perfectly straight/vertical. Off just a tad to the back. Think all of my Chinese glass with dewar has this issue, though. Not too bad. Certainly not my worst offender on this.
Did a water test. CLEAN THIS PUPPY WELL. Usually I do a quick iso and then water rinse on a new piece. Did a very quick iso, then water on this. Tasted VERY chemically, and not of ISO. Did a much better ISO cleaning and rinsed and seems to be all clean now.
Seems to hit well by water test, but level is going to be tricky. Since perc is so high in can, if water is more than a mm or 2 above perc, it splashes back a good bit. Got a good bit of splash in my mouth on first "test clear" (thumb on, then off while drawing hard). Dumped water until just at top of perc and not bad. Anxious to see how this works in actual use.
It looks very similar to my jhanpixel sidecar. Volume a bit less. Top is more squared off instead of rounded. Mounthpiece just a bit shorter. Of course perc is different and higher. Not quite as heavy/thick. But, pretty damned good considering about 1/3 the price.
All in all, I'm happy! Seems like what we've all been expecting. Hope the high perc isn't problematic in use, and that everyone else's is a bit lower than mine.
Sorry for the weak review here. Wouldn't even have posted while so busy trying to get finished for Christmas and out the door and no vapor test, but know many are waiting to hear about this one. Hope others will get theirs today also and pick up my slack.
I'm out. Will post more about use tomorrow if someone else doesn't first. Will be sure to give it a few good test sessions and compare closely with GB-187 (currently under nano and not here either!).
Happy Christmas! Don't forget to leave a few nugs out for Old St. Nick!

YES NO STEREO MATRIX! Just set aside another 50. This is going to be the best rig.@NorthernHuskie just wait. I'm working on getting an FC-242 made. It is going to be amazing. Here is the very first rough prototype.

My D020-D has a booger in it. I don't know what else to call it. It looks like a booger. A speck of sand maybe. It's just under the outside surface on the side. About .5mm wide but the glass is "smudged " looking around it about 2mm wide. Other than a few tiny bubbles here and there it's in good shape and works awesome. This thing is cool and the perfect size for a Solo.

I feel like a matrix recycler doesn't really make sense, interesting though.

One quick PS regarding USPS tracking... My tracking on FC-187 looks to be spot on on USPS.com. Kind of worried they are monitoring my comments here on FC! Just kidding of course, but for whatever reason they nailed it on this one. Even says the minute it was delivered as final track.
Almost forgot... leaving China to arriving in NYC was 4 days.

Just a big fan of the single matrix. It will be nice to throw into the rotation.

This looks liek the best MS knockoff ever. Last bong you ever need to buy. Just give me a fuggin water test while I wait forever.Anyone ordered this mothership from Kathy yet? I messaged her for a water test last week and she said she'd get one out soon. This looks a lot cleaner than the ones steven and alina have.

I have bought around 10 pieces from dhgate now what ive learned:
Do not buy from Chinaaaron. He is a snake. Have a dispute open
Kathy is good to go just not on returns: Still no tracking on the above piece
Yingmin is good to go, will answer your questions
Alina is good to go
dkglobe was the fastest shipping I got from dhgate.
The matrix stacks bubbles like crazy and kinda forces the water to recycle. Seems like a good idea to me.

I can't tell from the pic and I know it's a prototype but are the tubes going into the vortex off set like this?
They look straight to me but I'm not sure.

Speaking of greenbuddhashop, where is the dhgate clone of their http://instagram.com/p/wW7MSGFYxR/?modal=true and their female version of the ball knockoff here http://instagram.com/p/w2tDBNlY_r/?modal=true ? The ball in particular would work great as I have a DD + quartz enail for a 14mm female. In other news CCG seems to be back on DHgate so get your good/bad reviews in, and send your messages haha
Edit: also with the fc matrix recycler in the works it seems as though it has an open ended perc? That would be a dealbreaker for me personally. Other thing I would add is maybe a much larger vortex/recycling chamber as I think that looks like splash city with a matrix in a small recycler.

Really disappointing to hear, I hope you get better customer service than I've heard others have gotten. Keep us updated please; this might turn kathy to my blacklist with CCG- mostly due to the lack of it going out without even parts that have clearly broken missing- indicating that they knew about it when sending from my perspective.
Best of luck friend

Yeah I'm just going to go ahead and wait for this beauty. That looks pretty much perfect but would the matrix be too much diffusion for dabs? It does look like the downstem continues down past the perc though. Is it meant to be like that or is this just the prototype? Thats the only flaw I can find though.@NorthernHuskie just wait.

Also as soon as yingmin has the GB-242 in stock I'll be grabbing one.
I keep a tab open so I can check daily lol
