Cheap High Quality Bubbler

The D020 is very nice and super cheap, but it is pretty small. Some like this (I still do sometimes), but seems most like a bit more volume. Think D020-D is still available. It is a bit bigger.

I still love a sidecar mouthpiece with a dewar joint for a standard daily bubbler. Don't get hung up about the terminology, and no need to. Check @Ratchett 's pictures of the FC-187 and GB-187 S next to each other on previous page. They both have each.

Sidecar just means mouthpiece comes out off to the side instead of straight from can. I like this for 2 major reasons. Usually allows you to see the perc a bit better, and control your draw. Slower draw (minimal bubbling) usually gives more flavor with these type percs. Sidecar also keeps vape from being right in your face with the vaporizors you mentioned. With offset sidecar mouthpiece, you'll be hitting it from off to the side a bit so your vape won't be a couple inches right in front of your nose.

Dewar is just the type of recessed joint that is usually right in top center of the can. This is good with the vapes you mention for stability (weight of vape is centered and not going to tip anything like other stems that come off from side of can).

I don't own the FC-187 V2 (and not really a fan of the V1 I do have), but V2 took care of the issues I have with V1 (high perc more than anything). My GB-187 is great and gets much use. Only thing I would change about it is to have a sidecar mouthpiece. And, will probably be ordering the newer S version to pick up that feature.

Be aware that it is now Chinese New Year. The whole country pretty much shuts down for a few weeks, so probably not the best time to order. You'll see people refer to it here as CNY. This should all be over around the end of the month. Am sure you can order now, but don't think anything will be moving forward there for a couple more weeks. So, first week of March may be better time to order. I'll probably order last week of Feb in hopes that things will be packed and ready to ship once everyone gets back to work over there. Have a feeling our favorite vendors will be chomping at the bit to get things moving as quickly as they can. They certainly seem to appreciate our business and our $!!
So much great information. I will definitely get one with a sidecar since I dont want the vape in my face. Thanks!!!

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Anyone know when DHGate will be shipping? I know its a holiday there right now...
But I want my d020-d!

Can't say for sure since dhgate is a conglomerate of sellers, each doing their own thing...but it looks like CNY ends March 5...

Fasttech says they'll start shipping again on Feb 26, so guessing somewhere between those dates things will start moving again...

CNY is a bit different than anything we have in Western World. Today is the official day, or start really, and celebrations and traditions go on for almost a week. Most employers and schools give people off for a few days to a week to get home for it (very important for them). Then, they also get off a few more days to a week to get back to wherever they currently live. So, think anyone not from China would be giving a guess at best. My estimation is that nothing is shipping out of country until at least 2/27, and week of 3/2 more likely. Then it has to get here, go through customs and be shipped from point of receipt to you. Realistically, I wouldn't expect to see anything until 2nd, maybe 3rd week of March.

Such is the way with very cheap stuff from a totally different culture half way around the world from most of us!

Stevenlmz79 told me my mini pillar will ship February 26th

I really hope so! But, wouldn't bet on it. Keep in mind another part of that culture is to stretch the truth a good bit, especially with business.

goin to some place where I've never been before
Came home to a pile of boxes from china again. i love how i order them sporadically over a few weeks then they all arrive at once. Heres a pic of the 5 new ones in today, including the fc mini pillar. will try to make some videos when i have time. The coolest one so far is the kathy egg. i've had the pleasure of hitting a real mothership egg a friend owns, and well, this is not the same by far. Its prolly as good as a knockoff can get though. Real mothership egg has this certain rumble to it when you hit it, and it really feels like a powerful beast, anyone who has hit one knows what im talking about. this one does not have the rumble, but still a really fun piece which you cant go wrong for at the price. i bet some lhs will be selling this for a few hundred.

I just received my GB-187 to replace my old GB-187:rip:. When I ordered it I didn't notice I can choose between with logo or without logo. I received the model that has no logo and I'm not sure but I think I might like the size with the logo better.

I'm gonna try it tonight but I have a feeling this guy may end up in the classified section.

Nice grabs! I'm sure a bunch of people, present company included, will be very interested in how that mini pillar performs...:science:

Man... Im jealous.. none of my stuff has moved tracking wise in over 2 weeks. It hasnt even hit the states yet according to tracking.

I know tracking is wonky with the Chinese stuff but my tracking usually stalls out once it hits America. Ive never had it stall in China and then just magically show up.

Awesome!!!!

This helps so much, gives us an idea of the size difference between pieces. :clap:

And how dare you tease us with no videos, :p.

How is the mini pillar's build quality? And how does it hit? I'm waiting for the Matrix Pillar to come out to pick up anything new, but it looks like you just ordered one of everything :lol:

Is that 2nd one from yingmin?
I'd love done closer pics of it whenever you get a chance :)
If it's the one I'm thinking of, I thought it looked cool, but the pictures on the listing weren't enough to sell me on it...

I'd also love to know how the mini pillar goes.
Mine's still in its way :brow:

Build quality is ok. glass is not thin, feels sturdy, weld on the mouthpiece look cleaner than the fc-187v1 did. It feels kinda chuggy, i have to pull kinda hard to maintain a steady draw. Maybe i dont have the water level quite right. 14mm female joint. Mouthpiece angle is good for me. All 4 pillars are slightly angled, they all seem to work. here it is with the mighty and the 14mm adapter from delta 3d studios. sorry for the low battery noise. followed by a dab.




but it looks like you just ordered one of everything :lol:

yes buying these pieces has become an addiction. gas as you folks here call it. for these prices its hard to resist. :D its nice to switch up and have options. i use them for awhile, the ones i like i keep, the rest i end up giving away to friends and fam

yes it is the one from yingming. the gb-260. 10mm joint, it has a mini honeycomb perc. its not bad for a mini rig. heres a dab vid, i actually got it to use with the underdog, but im waiting for a 10mm to 14mm piece to arrive to try it.

Ok I ordered my FC-710 January 25th and it still hasn't gotten here. The last tracking update was from January 30th as dispatched from the Chengdu sorting center.

Should I be worried that it hasn't updated in 20 days? Is there anyway I can have someone check to see where it is now? Starting to get a little anxious to say the least lol

Between that and the angle of the downstem I think ill pass on that one :(

It looks cool though :)

I ordered a 710 and a 187 sidecar on 2/3. No updates after leaving Chengdu as well. I'm not too worried about it as this is usually how it goes for me with Chinese shipping. The 11 day turnaround on the Dcycler was a total shock to be honest.
