I think the problem with Stevens ht was the joint was pushed up inside beyond flush, so it was the glass preventing it from sealing, not the joint itself. Those adapters seem to me like they should work and that's pretty much what I was thinking. Hopefully an Evo owner can chime in, I'm really thinking about the Evo as my next purchase, I keep going back and forth.

That is exactly the problem with Steven's HT. You need an adapter because it won't sit flush and make a complete seal. The only thing I love more than my EVO is my Herbalizer and you can easily mod a Herbalizer to use HT's. Is there anything in the same league as these two these days minus the sublimator which I am not interested in? My VAS has been put to rest ever since the Herbalizer came out but there can always be something better :)

I want to chime in an say the HT from Steven seals about 98% on my EVO. I use it more than any of my others because of the price and I break shit. My actual VxH glass is superior in quality but I'd rather sacrifice Chinese if I get careless. Using my VxH glass is more of a treat.
I decided to buy another of Stevens HT because I like how it worked with the VxN and we all know how our tubes can get funky after just a couple uses. So I have one tube dedicated for using the VxN.

Is the perc in the big can on your fc mod touching the bottom of the can @Gramin ? My matrix perc would touch the bottom and wouldn't sit straight and totally affected function..yours still works more than mine did but the perc in yours isn't firing properly..maybe lil more water needed?? Hard to tell..but that solo restricts it a lot cuz it seems to function better when u cleared it..I would still get a better one because my fc mod is a beast..

Check out the deal on this Pyramid bubbler Ash catcher from American glass studio on Ioffer. This looks a good bit better than the normal Chinese stuff IMO and this one just dropped from $75 to $38. I just ordered it and I'll let you know how it is when it arrives! Dammit GAS I can't stop buying bubblers now!

Does anyone have any glass from these guys?

I still have not gotten mine. It was listed as 'out for delivery' then that evening was suddenly four states away. Not happy, but not completely unexpected with dhgate shipping.

Sorry you haven't gotten yours yet. I'm really enjoying mine, I have not put it away in my storage for glass since I got it.

I took out Steven's ht and compared performance between the two and I still prefer SunshineStore's Ht.

The angle of the mouthpiece is nice and so is the function of the recycler. It is my first piece of this kind so I think the novelty of the recycler is there for me. Something about its function just punches that vapor down my lungs like no other piece.

Still perfect seal on the Evo and I never got a chance to try the swagcycler or any piece like it- so it's cool to use this at such an affordable price.

Got my recycler hydrotube. It works great with the EVO.
No over flow yet. I don't have my water level as high as @Mangos so not much vortex but everything else is great ie. taste and function. I tried with the same level as he did and it will vortex 100%.
Hits /function are great. Quality is nice and glass feels sturdy. Only downside is no base to put it on while not in use.

I think the Steven straight fabs are the way to go, that's what I have I believe and it's a very sturdy piece with great function. I hear good things about the fab eggs that come with a matrix perc under them, I believe the seller is called gorgeous heroin or something ridiculous like that?

Meh. Steven's quality is hit and miss. I did like his straight fab, the size, the mouthpiece, and how solid it was. The one I got had a tilted perc, and was kind of sloppy. For me, it's on the outer limits as far as size and filtration (I like smaller pieces with less diffusion for oil). There's some feedback on Reddit about Gorgeous Heroine's fab egg. I have better luck with simpler pieces, as far as getting one that is reasonably straight, and looks good. If you don't need the extra weight to offset an enail, I really like this little guy, great flavor, and hits just right.

Hey FC, I know this isn't a bubbler but it seems like the best thread for this question.

has anyone found a cheap reclaim catcher with a removable collection jar that can fit a male banger without an adapter? Something like this, but cheaperhttp://www.ioffer.com/i/90-19mm-oil-rig-bubbler-reclaimer-domeless-ti-nail-set-552518154?i=122843750 It's the only one I can find but it's coming up at £53... I could get one made in the UK for that.

Dhgate only seem to have ones for female nails which makes no sense to me as you're gonna end up with as much reclaim in your joint as you will collect in the catcher. They seem to all come with glass nails and domes, so that's probably why.

Those reclaim jars are pointless in my opinion. You are better off just scraping the reclaim out of the banger before it drips into your joint and collecting it in one of those silicon wax containers. Drop downs aren't necessary if you are using a Quartz nail that can be torched as you don't have to worry about your joint getting too hot and breaking. Reclaim is going to stick like crazy to the glass jar and will be hard to get all out.

If you are set on a drop down then I recommend just getting a normal one and then heating it lightly with a torch to drip it out into another container. This is pretty easy because you can hold the other end of the drop down while heating.

@weenstoned Thanks for the reply. Your recommendations are what I'm currently doing and honestly I can't be bothered scraping it out of the banger/drop down all the time all the time, and I also don't like using more heat/solvent than necessary to get the claim out. I want more activated THC rather than CBN if possible.

I just prefer using a dropdown. Nothing to do with heat. None of my glass is worth worrying about anyway haha. The colelction pot cant be any worse than a dropdown to clean out surely?

So, still after suggestions if anyone has any. It does look like I wont have much luck finding what I want anyway so i guess I'll stick to scrapiun

If you lined the reclaim jar with parchment paper do you think claim would collect on it? or just create a nasty mess?

If done neatly I could see that working. If the paper sits above the joint in the dropdown (if that even makes sense) it should in theory all end up on the parchment. Might be worth a shot if I can get hold of one, thanks for the idea.

@salivape In my experience it's not that hard to heat gently.

Maybe message @Oregonglassblower he could probably whip you up one for cheaper than 53 pounds, but more than China.

Thanks again for the reply. It's a nice idea for the $10 the standard dhgate ones ship for but I'll probably just continue with scraping the banger unless a pre made and cheap option arises. It's not that much of a hassle just something I could do without. I can't have my reclaim catcher being the most expensive glass i own :lol:

On the 16th feb i ordered two pieces from steven , 1 fc mod body and mouthpiece and a Hydrofoot to go with it. I will use them with my Sublimator. I received the FC mod 27th febuary. I have emailed steven 11 times or so and keep getting told its sent, But the tracking does not track. Today they blame the weather in USA which is funny as i am in UK.. They also blame the post in China and the Holidays last month, i have pointed out both items ordered at the same time. So why i receive the FC MOD if there are postal, Weather issues? They ignore this point. STEVEN is getting worse it seems with customer service. i have asked is it in stock they say it sent....... I think he does not make glass himself, but brokers deals...

That little Toro KO looks nice. How does it hit? Is is as low diffusion as it looks?

Has anybody seen this one's brother with the lowered showerhead type perc on DHG? Think Toro calls it a micro-circ.
