Anyone ever have any issues with Stevens glass work from dhgate? I'm looking to buy a piece, and everyone seems to love his work... I'm looking at the 12" torus right now and the FC187, and was wondering if anyone knew 1. The type of glass (boro, Pyrex, etc) 2. If anyone ever tested it for lead/ if there are health/safety concerns with going with China glass vs. American. Just wanna make sure I'm getting a safe, quality unit and was looking for some insight on that.
Thanks in advance

My browser isn't accessing DHgate at the moment. How much does that bubbler cost? I'm a huge fan of the Big can bubbler style ever since I got my UFO. Was the shipping fast?
I don't think we can buy from DHGATE?
They changed their payment of credit cards.
PAYPAL they don't except.

It was fun while it lasted.

Hopefully we know what we like so we can have one or two pieces made locally.

What is everyone's position on Puck shaped glass?
They look appealing to me for some reason but I never see anyone comment on them.



Also, I am desperately looking for something like this (without having to spend Illadelph prices). Any guidance for finding a clone from overseas would be very welcomed! I love the conversion-appeal.

I hit a Nexus puck once as someone's travel rig and I liked it. In fact I thought about ordering the CCG one without the logo, best looking one on DHgate IMO.

And I LOVE that Illadelph!! $700 is fucking ridiculous for that though. We need to have Steven make that one! The base part of the FC-Mod is similar to their $800 bubbler but you can't switch the positions of the down stem and mouthpiece like the Illa.
I do love versatile transformer bongs though! Here are a few of my favorites to stack percs and play with mouthpieces.
My M&M tech bubbler doesn't have a removable down stem but the showerhead perc is the best I have ever hit. The mouthpiece is shaped perfectly!
throw a 45 degree adapter and a PWTA for even extra diffusion.
There is also the Apollo Glass Pyramid perc Bubb/Ash catcher. No removable perc but it can be used with a whip or mouthpiece, Or throw a Hydrotube on as the mouthpiece, Or use it as an ash catcher. It's pretty sweet! I actually prefer the 45 degree 18mm female for using with my vapes too! The FC-Mod, FC-UFO, and FC-278 are all good for this too but the only Chinese glass I can find with both removable is the Sheldon Black Six Shooter. Which I actually want but have too many similar pieces. again you can't switch the positions of the mouthpiece and down stem on that.


No need to link the FC- Pieces as I'm sure you are familiar already. Here are 2 of the others I mentioned. IF you find a knock-off of that or get a Chinese maker to make it count me in for 1! I have a beautifully done 12 hole showerhead from OGB I would like to throw in it!

Just got this piece in the mail from Sunshine Store. It's a 15 arm perc bubbler . It has a nice big can with a perfectly sized mouthpiece- the glass also feels very thick.

Works really well for vaping- actually find it less restrictive then my beloved FC UFO which has been my daily piece since I got it.

Also this thing retains flavor very well as not much water is needed in it to function. The arms all fire nice and evenly and it stacks the bubbles up very nicely.

I know I'm not the only one who prefers a smaller mouthpiece on their pieces- I believe @ataxian is the same. I just find them more comfortable to draw from so this piece was just what I was looking for regarding that.

I also like how the mouthpiece is angled at a way so you can watch the vapor build up in the can- easier to judge how much vapor your device is producing. One thing I don't like is the small tube going through near the neck- it doesn't seem to effect function or flavor just don't understand the point of it .

Some pieces I've gotten lately have let me down (FTK from Kathy) so its nice to get cheap well made piece.

Couple of function clip's here :

Nice Grab! Reminds me of a bigger version of my American made Glassmandoll Bubbler from back in the day! I don't know why no one talks about tree percs anymore? Still Awesome after all these years! These are old school and still some of my favs, the worked showerhead is actually only second to the M&M in terms of a quality hit with a vape!

Hello all, new here and to vaping. I bought an Arizer Air, and after some reading, decided to purchase a FC-UFO V2.

From what I understand, I need some sort of 18mm to 14mm adapter so the Arizer Air stem will fit. Searching for this gives a whole bunch of options and I'm not quite sure what I need exactly. If someone would be kind enough to put a link to the right adapter (or is it called reducer???) I would really appreciate it.


They make GonGs for your Air BUT if you don't have one you can put a little piece of silicone whip around the glass stem mouthpiece and it will make a seal in a 14mm female.
You want a 18mm male to 14mm female, you can get it here under $4 shipped

Someone on here asked for a universal Hydratube design. I said I'd post pics of mine and forgot.
Anyway if China wants a Kick Ass Hydratube this has been discontinued to my knowledge by the original maker GBD. So i don't mind posting this for a China remake. This is a 3 way 18mm female Fritted Hydratube. With or without the Frit.... THIS SHOULD BE THE STANDARD FOR A UNIVERSAL HYDRATUBE!

Sorry to repeat the question but I may not have phrased it properly or things just get lost in such a large thread so I'll ask again. New to water and glass but I want to connect my Vapir Rise using the whip from the bag to a bubbler like the FC-187 and I want to order the right gong adapter. So fill the bag using vapir rise using whip from unit to bag, then disconnect whip from unit and connect it to bubbler.

I am pretty sure that one end has to be 18mm male to fit into the perc of the FC-187 but what is the other end I need on the adapter gong to insert a whip? 14mm female, male or something else? I don't want to spend the $$ to get a silicon adapter from delta3d studios because with the shipping to Canada it is too expensive. Probably something from here but which one: Also will be hooking up a Haze V2 to the bubbler when I finally get it (Haze). Does a standard whip fit onto the Haze V2 steel stem and would that fit into a 14mm female gong adapter? Can I slide a whip sleeve around the steel stem and insert that into the gong like is suggested fro the Airzer Air. With the time it takes for deliveries from China I want to order the right things.

Very hit or miss on quality. Seems like he started off good but ships a lot of blems now. The percs are always a little crooked, some much worse than others. Also he uses non-boro glass for some perc designs and they are rough cut not even flame polished. Most of all, the customer service ethics are very poor, especially regarding defective items.

I appreciate it herb, that's good to know. I just saw Steven being mentioned a lot here so figured he was top tier in terms of the dhgate sellers. Someone else told me the same thing and recommended others on there like sunshine and yingmin... Any advice would be appreciated. Just trying to find the safest/ most quality piece the price. Also have been checking out American glass studios on I offer- a little more expensive but nothing crazy

The hose from your bag goes on one end and the ground glass end goes into the FC 187.

Lets PLEASE have these made in China with multiple percs options! I suggest a, Showerhead (or reverse showerhead?), baby turbine (ala Gordo), Jet perc or little honeycomb, and Frit.

I was thinking of getting one of these Limited glass Pistols or AK-47's in 18mm to use like that. They also make pretty sweet 18mm nectar collectors that you can use as a HT with or without interchangable mouthpieces. But these start at $150 for the pistols and $250 for the AK-47's

Appreciate the help. All of these solutions are expensive by the time they get to Canada. As much as a Chinese bubbler itself. Is there any 18MM gong from DHgate or similar that a whip will fit into? Does a standard 3/8 whip fit into a male or female gong and if so which size and male or female.

People have answered already from what I gather I need an 18mm male (for FC-187) and to stuff the whip into do I need a 14mm female or male? I asked Steven on DHgate and he didn't help.

This is the 18.8 mm perc so I assume I need a male for that one, question is what do I need on the other end to stuff a 3/8 whip into. Would 14mm female work?

Just buy this instead and you will already have it and use the mouthpiece. I have both and like the FC-UFO perc better anyway honestly.
http://www.dhgate.com/product/2015-...33447446.html?recinfo=8,46,2#cppd-2-5|null:46

If you want the GB-187 (FC-187) anyway try these
You have to buy 5 but still cheaper than the rest for 1 lol.

I just messaged him for you to see if he will mix and match so at least you could go ahead and get a all 4 sizes (14m,14f,18m,18f) plus 2x of the 18mm male you need for $11.40 shipped.


http://www.dhgate.com/product/14mm-...le-or/269470556.html#s1-0-1b;searl|2241110995


or this and get a whip and an ELB for free.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Arizer-Orig...323006?hash=item35f908147e:g:YxEAAOSwPgxVNxpK


OR you can use a nectar collector tip. Mine came with a 14mm but they make 18mm nails for under $9 shipped or $10 for 2. These have the added benefit of being indestructible.

You could get this guy to send you a 18mm and a 14mm and have both adapters for under $10. Lots of ways to cheap out on adapters lol!
http://www.dhgate.com/product/titan...-18mm/250879539.html#s1-8-1b;searl|3462620542


I got this to use as a watertool mouthpiece for my Haze and got a free "hose adapter" with this but it's 14mm. And I can dab with it but that's another story.

Has anyone else noticed that all too many vendors label everything as having a 14mm female joint despite the fact it is clearly 18mm in the photo.

Cant tell you how many pieces i've passed on, due to crappy descriptions and photos that leave me with far too much uncertainty to click the BUY button.

If any DHgate vendors are reading this, please do all of us a favor and take the extra minute to get your product facts correct.

As a guy that deals with marketing and advertising on the day to day, I promise that the extra attention to detail will net you more sales. Not to mention the time you will save by not having to answer the same questions over and over (in VERY difficult to understand english) rather than shipping out product and getting paid.

That seems like a nice unit. It is hard to tell what comes with it. It comes with a silicone whip and different adapters?

It's just you standard 18mm female bong like the FC-187 but the mouthpiece is removable and it comes with 2 mouthpiece options. an 18mm male glass mouthpiece shown and a 18mm male whip adapter and whip that you are needing. Only difference is the removable mouthpiece and the Perc is a showerhead vs the FC-187 matrix perc.

Anyone know where they can buy a combo of adapters?

I have messaged many vendors on DHG asking but no responses in a week. I have tried mixing but always single price and not discounted unless 5-10 of same.

Thanks.


I will update all on stevenlmz79.
Ordered last night after getting a response that if I was not happy with quality, he would replace no charge or return shipping charges then used my American Express card to dispute easy. :)



Wow-either my internet or the board has issues...

Paid damn good in Seoul cira 1995. 2-5 hour days teaching English paid better than 7 days in the Army.

They put it to good use with Samsung and Kia since I see.
