What do you guys think would be the best big hitter piece on dhgate for the cloud evo?

My biggest hits are from big chambers. The new FC-187 has plenty of volume and should pair well with the EVO.

Always enjoyed my Mobius Clear with the Cloud.

I'm really iffy about the new fc 187. Is there anything similar but without the sidecar. I just would rather get the v2 fc 187. Too many problems from what I've read and not enough consistency in the glass.

I just happened to pair my evo with it last night and it was great! I like to prime each hit with bigger cans, and this one needs just a little bit. But what a great session!

thanks for the Steven suggestions, guys!

Who edited that last part into my post?

What about the d-20d I think its called. Is the can big enough?

I seriously do want to know why my post was edited to have a thank you message to steven by a moderator. Those are not my words and I think its ridiculous that someone added it in there regardless of nice words or not. I want an explanation

I'm starting to wonder what is up with FC in general the reply baloons are showing up almost empty now, one has a , in it... LOL and my sig is missing most of the details on my screen, but when I go to edit, it's all there, so there might be a glitch with the site or something @grdwaste

usually mod notes are in red


*now my reply ballons are back to normal, but sig is still wonky, so IDK what is going on.

I had a moderator add an ending sentence to my post though.

"thanks for the Steven suggestions, guys!"

^ that was added to my post by a moderator. I find it very wrong for that to be a possibility. I would like to know which moderator wrote that.

Still waiting on the tube and pillar but got my feet wet with the double vortex recycler. I noticed @Frederick McGuire gave it a five star rating, that's good enough for me! Here is hoping for a quality product and quick, safe delivery from Ms. Kathy! Which reminds me, @syrupy have you two married yet?

Too many problems from what I've read and not enough consistency in the glass.

AFAIK, there was one person with an issue, other than broken glass upon arrival, which is not Steve's fault. Was there others I missed?

If you are worried about consistency, I would stick with American blowers, you are going to experience this issue with just about every piece from China, and even with some US pieces. I don't have a single China piece that is 100% flawless.

I was speaking in terms of consistency with the perc. I saw 3 people complain about the bands being wayyy off and extreme varying perc holes. Then the joint work was a bit sloppy on some and some arrived completely broken. I am not complaining about Steven because I feel these are first time production problems with this model. I also own a lot of chinese glass and some are flawless in my opinion. I don't know how you haven't received a flawless piece. Kathy and SSS have delivered perfect pieces too me.

I have reverted your post back to it's original content. It seems that one of our moderators (probably all potted up on weed or something ) mistakenly edited your post instead of their own (*cough*Stickstones*cough*).

Apologies from the FC forum staff.

Thanks for clarifying. Not upset now just wanted an answer! Didnt realize a moderator commented right unddr me and i could have probanbly guessed that. Handle your shit @stickstones ! I haven't been medicated in 11 days. Probably on the grumpy side. Couldn't find anything in israel!

 

[stickstones]

@grdwaste - i was about to tell you that was not me, but the system says I did it. I have no recollection of it at all, but weed and posting from my phone may have had something to do with it. My apologies! Fucking weird.

I just found it really weird that it directly said Steven. Almost promoting buying from him.

Like i said, I have no memory of it at all. If the system didn't have my name attached to it I would deny it all day long! I don't even remember ever typing that sentence.

I don't believe it was you! I don't doubt you man.

So, just got this quartz banger from Kathy:

http://www.dhgate.com/product/100-r...e/214897874.html#myaccount_orderdetail-1-null

It's honestly not that great. I got the 14mm and the joint is so poorly ground that it does not sit solidly on my rig. I don't think it's completely round. It flops back and forth on the joint and doesn't create any sort of seal at all. I've contacted kathy and requested a replacement. I'll update on how she responds.

Granted it's a nail, so despite all of it's problems it sorta works anyway. It looks and feels wonky as shit, but it's still a functional banger nail, and awesome for that. Now if I could just figure out how to cap it...

So I've been talking to Kathy, trying to work this out before putting in an official dispute with Dhgate. At first she offered me half my money back, which I thought was kind of strange. I considered it for a second, but the thing's honestly pretty useless. It pulls bubbling oil straight into the stem and then drips it down the outside of my joint... Not usable at all in the long term, despite the couple of dabs I've done off of it. So I told her that and asked again for either a refund or replacement, and she asked me (I think) to send the nail back to her. This is what she actually said:

"this one we sent to all other clients all very good . and we checking my stock all very good too
if you really can't usually send back to us ,then we will checking where is the mistake.
Thank you."
​

I replied asking if this meant that she wanted me to send it back, and asked if she would pay shipping (not worth it to me, obviously, to ship an $11 nail back to china, plus I used it anyway). What do you guys think of this whole thing? Is she being unrealistic? Am I?? This is Kathy we're talking about, who is known and well-liked here, and has a reputation for making good stuff...

I'm not sure how to handle this. On the one hand I don't want to pay for useless stuff, but I also don't want to stress over a cheapo nail. So what would you guys do? Demand satisfaction, or chalk it up to "you win some, you lose some" with China glass, trash the nail, and move on with your life?

How are you all cleaning these? I'm new to vapor. When I cumbusted it was all about iso
and rock salt.

I would ask her to give you an $11 credit towards another purchase.

My guess is that North Korea is just going down their hit list alfabetically of enemies they hack.

Works great.....got mine from a local home brewery shop....

Got my FC-187's in the mail today. Ordered 2. Came very well packed, both in one box. Each individually wrapped in bubble wrap with 5-6 layers then he also added some foam and cardboard pieces along the sides and top to reinforce them. Looks like the box went through some stress too as it was quite beat up, but they both arrived with no damage at all, so cheers to steven on his packing this time. He does seem to be learning. As for the pieces, they both have slight differences between them in terms of size of the can and how low the perc goes to the bottom. I guess it should be expected from chinese pieces made in bulk. On one the can is noticeably taller, cant really tell if its wider, if it is, not by much. Glass is thick and feels sturdy, mouthpiece connections are solid looking, and the angle is nice. The perc on the one with the smaller can looks like it has some imperfections and its slightly higher from the bottom. Only tried the one with the bigger can so far and it hits decent. Not as fluid as the original 187, but the feel and position of the mouthpiece make up for this in my opinion. It is much more comfortable of an angle to hit with it sitting on my desk opposed to the original which wrenched my neck bending over. No issue with this fc-187. I'm far enough away also that i dont feel heat on my face and glasses. All in all i am very pleased with it.

Just be careful with the water level coming pretty high up the joint (only use a domeless nail for dabbing), and you should enjoy it immensely
