I have a problem using a glass reducer on my fc ufo because the joint is so deep and recessed on the ufo(is the ufo a dewar?) Cuz i have a custom made mv top made with a 18-14 glass reducer and it works will all glass but in the ufo there is wiggle room so that could be the case with the fc mouthpiece..

I honestly think this is being done on purpose. Call me THAT GUY but maybe he's trying to avoid stepping on (VXH) toes? I mean are ANY other glass peices' with female joints that deep? What could he possibly be thinking? Deep female glass connection limits every user. Can he not accomplish this due to his skill, or is this on purpose. Even if this peice was "designed to fit the fcmod" why is the female designed that way. When mine comes and its jacked upike these, I'm going to ask him straight up without beating around the bush. If I'm wrong, who cares, his glass is wrong so we're even-Steven.

I think he just made it in a way that doesn't work for some? It sits on the stand. It sits on the fc-mod. It doesn't sit on a vaporizer with no clearance under the male 19mm joint (evo). How is he supposed to know that unless we tell him?

It doesn't sound like a hard thing to change on future ones?
 
jojo monkey,
Kathys Egg to Klein. The Base is too small for me though

@subway13029 i have the same problem on my UFO with a reducer. I have since switched everything to 18mm but I still have a 18mm M to 14mm F tall converter just in case.

chiming in. got my FC mod and my Hydratube. all pieces sit fine, one has the slightest tilt that doesn't affect function. Hydrate fits the FC mod fine. Hyrdratube has the recessed part before the seal of the joint so doesn't work with an EVO. like... I would go even farther to say it works less then even was previously mentioned because it seriously "dethickens" (lol) your hit because all the normal air sneaking in the shit seal. still milks it but shittily at best.

My tube came in, straight trash. Water leaks in to the bottom section. Specs of white and bubbles. Sorry folks. The base for the hydrotube is the best part of this purchase. I'm gonna msg him.


Edit:anyone else's leaking into the bottom section? The joint being that big is being done on purpose. The joint itself is fine, how its placed is the problem. My Solo GonG goes way too far in. This isn't this guys first rodeo and I'm sure he knows what the EVO is. I mean they know what FC is.....to tell me he has no idea people wanted to use it for EVO when he made the FcMod...a devastator knock off from VxH is plain ridiculous.

Edit- I have other peices from Steven and the EVO does just fine.

So could you guess if this is a hydratube or fc -187? (one can see it is gb-187, matrix perc is a give a way, still looking at the joint only one cannot distinguish them in my personal opinion)

Still think Steven is simply using the same joints for both.
It makes sense that they used the same glass joints from the fc187 because I have had multiple fc187's and only one fit the Evo perfectly so I kept that one.

I messaged Steven. Sounds like I'm not the first person to write, as they immediately asked if i mean that the joint is too deep.

Brilliantly, while testing the seal with other pieces I wasn't paying as much attention to being careful and this happened.

RIP FC-MOD perc. (Now what???)

Order another there only $12
I didn't see where you could order just the perc... whew!

EDIT:

Got another reply from Jane...

"I only see it is different with the joint deep,could you tell me orignial version'size,so that I can produce it according to your size"

I'm not knowledgeable enough about joint sizing to know what to say... Help?

I think the size is expressed like: 22-18mm meaning starts of at 22 and shrinks to 18mm.

On another note, how great is it to deal with these sellers, I just got called sweety after asking one more time why the tracking number has not updated in a week after it has been marked as shipped... Funny how they close their message with sweety, I mean, that's how we do business honey? Lol

My current bong has an 18mm opening and the down stem is 14mm. Is it easy to get an 18-18 down stem, and if I buy a 14mm bong can I get a stem to take it up to 18?

You can @Tommy10. Check out OzBongs, a guy based in Coffs Harbour of all places!

14/18mm step up http://www.ozbongs.com.au/DhOP-18-14-Converter/

18/18 slit stem http://www.ozbongs.com.au/DhOP-SG18-Slit-Diffuser-Stem-11cm/

18/18 21 hole stem http://www.ozbongs.com.au/DhOP-18-18-21-Hole-Diffuser-Stem-11cm/

Make sure you measure your 18/14 stem as per the picture in the stem links & you should be sweet. He sells plenty of breakable stuff & being a local Australian business you get it quickly at a reasonable price.

Wiki: "The first number represents the outer diameter (OD) in millimeters (mm) at the base (widest part) of the inner joint. The second number represents the ground glass length of the joint in millimeters."

So it's how big across and the length of the joint. A 24/40 joint is not 40mm wide, it is 24mm across and 40mm long.

@Justpassedu what is usability like beyond the defects? Is it a comfortable height when it's on top of your vaporizer? Too thin/thick, more of an angle on the mouthpiece?

Check the Eq thread i put a pic of it there attached to my eq. I'd have to do some more testing to answer those questions. I just got it last night and only did 1 session with it so far. When fully filled right past the slits in the perc i do get a bit of water in my mouth if i pull to hard. so a slow drag is somewhat needed. Height is about a foot i would say give or take a few inches. I think it may pair better with my portables but i'll do a bit more testing. So far it was ok though , i wish it was perfect though. The quality is not so great , perc seems to be off a bit and it does not bubble perfect. It did work though. I usally vape sitting down so when i mated it to the eq it was just a bit weird for me having to get up and stand over it to pull but that is prob just bc i am not used to using my vapes this way. I am sure people that own a evo are.

FWIW the foot that comes with Stevens hydrotube is good for putting HOT VxNails in.

Caveat.....
All my water goes from the top perc into the bottom. I let it sit for 5 minutes and it ran all to the bottom.

For $25, it's not bad. Function is excellent. It holds a good amount of water but you don't have to be precise. It works best with a good amount of water being pulled into the recycler, maybe 2/3 filled, but still works well if its only filled half way. Filling it to 2/3's or less makes it pretty much spill proof as you would have to lay it down at ninety degrees to get it to spill, and you pretty much can't. I have tried to get water to pull through and I don't see a way that you could ever get water during a hit. The only negative I have found is I purposely caused some back pressure over the sink and once the water starts flowing out of the bottom the recycler portion puts additional pressure into it and it will drain almost all the water on its own. Having said that, short of blowing through it and initiating the back pressure, I can't imagine this being a problem. I would not hand this to a rookie though.

The actual construction on the other hand is not very good and the places that look weak in the pictures are pretty weak in reality sadly. The two bottom recycler joints are incredibly thin and the top of the main chamber is twisted and might have a very small pin hole. The main perc is cut randomly and not evenly though it seems to function fine. The 18mm joint and foot are very nice and fit everything I have with no problems. It's just a little tall to hold comfortably sitting, 14", and I would like the mouthpiece at 45 degrees or so, but overall it's a pretty good piece. I don't know that I would buy it again because of the height and workmanship, but it's certainly a good addition for the price.

Here is the link to store I bought it from. If anyone tries a different store I would love to know what the quality is like.

Envy glass out of SoCal makes a wide range of hand blown American glass (from very cheap/affordable to much more high-end). I got a sick likkle mini-bubbler (dab rig style) last time I was in Denver for under $35 out the door and it pairs beautifully with my vape selection
