Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[ataxian]

So I don't recall seeing this one before:

Sidecar Bender Perc?
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/2015-newest-glass-bong-9inch-brown-mini-villain/235161874.html

It looks like it's also got either a little stand for a dabber, or a snorkel carb (I guess it could be both )
I wouldn't pay the asking price of $60, but for $35-$40 I'd be all over it

Do you have a FC 186?

 

[cybrguy]

Ok upon full review of my eggs from CCG I realized all 3 came broken and Im super dissapointed. One leaks air and water from a pin hole in the front, another leaks air and water from where the support for the joint connects with the egg body and the third is cracked on the downstem. Heres a video of all 3 showing each ones defect. I messaged CCG about this, with a link to this video Im waiting for a response.

What a bummer. 3 strikes.

 

[vicious916]

hoping mine shows up with showerhead perc ordered 4/11 should be here by 4/24

 

[619TangerineOG]

CCG has contacted me and offered to replace all 3 and Im very happy that they were quick to respond and gave me no hassle. Great customer service. Ill keep you all updated when the 3 replacements arrive.

Do you have a FC 186?

Indeed I do
Just came in the post the other day

Edit:

My FC-186 was originally supposed to ship out with my matrix pillar, but due to the delays with that pillar Steven shipped out my fc186 early.

Apparently the matrix pillar should be shipping out next Monday now.

Ok so now I'm talking to Cynthia at ccg again because i have a problem with the function on a small rig I got from them. The slits are all pointed towards the sidecar requiring slightly higher water levels but causing bubbling to only occur on the mouthpiece side and shoot straight up the mouth piece even while pulling slowly. Imo I simply can not over look this flaw and therfore can not use the rig. Has anyone else had a functional problem with ccg that was resolved ( besides from the horror story that scared everyone away lol). They don't seem to be realizing the problem although I explained it in as much detail as possible.

CCG D-cycler came in this AM at 9;00.

OH MY GOD.

this thing is amazing. Im in love and i own the kathy egg and fc diffusin pump. How can i upload a vid? This is the perfect amount of resistance a cycler and oil rig need. Some stuff is to airy for me

Whoever said they can get an american cycler for 150$, go ahead ill take 3 of these over 1 of those alllll day

New Fab Egg from Kathy...

[BoogerMan]

The CHINAAARON FAB EGG IS THE SAME AS CLEAN CLEAR GLASS. IT HAS A 6 HOLE PERC. I do not recommend the fab egg from Chinaaaron.

I might try the Kathy egg, but the base still looks small like the white/black fab egg she has. If it is the same size base, it won't be good to use with an e-nail

I am going to message CCG and complain about the perc and say that another member received one with a showerhead with slits (not tiny holes). I will let you know what they say!

 

[Cannabis Connoisseur]

That Kathy Egg is small considering that large Ass neck she put on there is over half the 9 inch piece​

 

[619TangerineOG]

I received tracking for my WOL torus on 4/15 and it has finally updated today saying it has arrived and then been dispatched from Shenyang. Its been exactly 1 month since my order was made. I hope this torus is worth the wait!

I agree it looks a bit janky

 

[twentypast4]

I agree. It's awesome that the chinese blowers are capable of mass producing glass of this quality but the costs are rapidly approaching american glass.

I feel like that's because a lot of times people post on here saying "man I would pay $90-120 for that type of piece" and then they realize there is some more profit to be made although it may be at the expense of quantity sold but who knows...

The allure of low prices for a decently functioning piece is great, but easily lost with either quality issues (fab egg) or higher prices (steven's torus).

 

[mrgohamilton]

Cynthia from CCG has been friendly and even offered discounts during our convo's. their customer service has been A+ (even though i haven't had a problem lol). the pink mini egg i ordered hasnt shipped yet though .

The CHINAAARON FAB EGG IS THE SAME AS CLEAN CLEAR GLASS. IT HAS A 6 HOLE PERC. I do not recommend the fab egg from Chinaaaron.

I agree this is fucked up and should be addressed,
about to ask if the the new eggs ship with the slits instead of the pinholes

I've gathered a lot of info from this thread and have been lurking for a few months. You guys are awesome!

Just a quick question guys.... I know the fab egg is the hype at the moment, but, I am fairly new to glass and really want to try a Mobius piece since I've heard so many great things about them.

I'm having a hard time finding Mobius pieces so if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

Currently I'm looking at the Double Matrix piece.. They seem to have the v1 and v2 versions but I have only come across one seller with the v2 version.

v1: Modnote: link to counterfeit glass removed

v2: http://www.dhgate.com/product/advan...ality-glass/218127444.html#s1-1-1a|2663227342



Any help or other recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I hope you do realize that those aren't Mobius pieces, but Chinese counterfeits.

If you want a Mobius, here's a good place to start (not really suitable for the cheap glass thread).

[Smokey the Bearington]

Well... since we are in this thread I assumed everyone would know I was talking about clones. Thanks for the link though appreciate it!

 

[mutten840]

@Smokey the Bearington I have the V2 and love it. I would say either are keepers =)
The glass is thick on mine and it has a very solid feel and sexy look.

Well... since we are in this thread I assumed everyone would know I was talking about clones. Thanks for the link though appreciate it!

One of the most popular Mobius knockoffs has been the GB-187. I love mine! Basically an Ion Matrix that is a little taller and thinner. The GB-186 has been popular too (stereo matrix).

Think yingmin may still be the best place to get it. Click here. That's where I got mine. Think they even come with a fake Mobius label unless you request one clean.

There are also a few iterations that are similar with a sidecar mouthpiece.

Hmmmmmm.... kind of makes all the Chinese prices again look like they are for Chinese knockoffs.

Hey FC, first time post here. I'm a pretty big newbie, so I was wondering about this piece:

http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/new-big-size-colorful-glass-pipe-rooster/200082460.html

How large would it be? I feel that it's going to be smaller than it looks in the picture.

it says 6" so imagine it wouldn't be any smaller

Really... I would love to get the v2 instead of the v1 I posted but I'm kind of fond of the Mobius branding on the v1. I know its a knock off, still cool to have though IMO.

Anyone else have a v2? It definitely looks better asthetically

 

[flotntoke]

Think the V2 @mutten840 refers to is the sidecar version (FC-187 V2) from Steveminz. I had a V1 sidecar and saw first hand the necessity for V2!! Gave mine away. The one I linked above is the standard bent neck that looks like the original Mobius.

Will probably grab an FC-187-V2 myself eventually. Or, the GB-187 S (same from different vendor - yingmin, who I linked the GB-187 from). I love having a sidecar mouthpiece. But, have just picked up a few pieces and try to hold out as long as I can. Usually have my next piece (or 2) in mind, just wait until GAS becomes unbearable before ordering.

 

[Stu]

I know its a knock off

It's not a knock off, it's a counterfeit since it has the Mobius label. We don't think too highly of counterfeiters here on FC, so we do not allow them to be advertised on the forum.

It may seem like a subtle difference, but it is a difference that we take seriously and we simply won't be a part of promoting counterfeit items. If someone wants a fake piece, they can find it easily enough without FC's help.

Welcome to FC by the way!

 

[flotntoke]

Seems like a VERY subtle difference! You say potato, I say potato. Would bet Mobius (or any of their resellers) would say it's the same label or none. But, guess that's a battle for their lawyers if they dare to spend the money for infringement from China. Not usually a good plan.

Definitely understand the distinction for FC, and thank you again for drawing the line where it is for our benefit.

Sorry for posting the link to the one with the label. AFIK that is the only one on DHGate right now.
