I found a a bubbler I'd put away for a while. FC-Mod. It has a separate piece I've never used that is an ash catcher. Is there any value to trying to use the ash catcher?

The FC MOUTHPIECE is OK if you use a MALE adapter or 18mm FEMALE with a 18mm MALE.

Late night trolling for glass and I found this little number. It's about 8" high and has a 14mm female joint. I ordered it Jan 12 and it should be delivered no latter than Tues :clap:. I've seen a similar looking design that was hand-made by an artist out on Cape Cod but he wants $560 (paid $34 on this rig). I'm sure it's on point with no flaws but it's the price tag than hinders me. :shrug: I've been lucky with just about all my glass from DHgate only 2 rigs functionality really f'n sucked but so far so good.
Don't get me wrong if I have the cash I would jump at buying a glass design from Josh @JoDa_Glass...:rockon::rockon::rockon:

Interested in seeing how this piece turned out, has it arrived yet?
I follow that guy on IG (@borobenjamin), he makes nice pieces.
Been lusting after them for awhile now, they typically run ~$1200.

First part of my headshop420 order from dhgate arrived at my doorstep today.

Very pleased with it, it is the fab egg incycler.

Hoping Monday the straight fab with blue accents arrives and I can leave a full positive feedback. For now headshop420 seems legit. Ymmv

Ordered January 5th, got shipping label 7th. First piece arrived today, so that is about 20 days. I am located in Europe.

I've been on the road for last couple of days because of work. Home tonight and going to break it in. I'll take pic/vid of it in action. Overall it seems nice and when I was giving it a good warm water wash in functioned fine but my only complaint is that it's not the thickest glass but for $34 it's well worth it.

Guys I got f**ked :doh: I filled the rig with water cleaned it off set it down on the table and proceeded to get my enail ready. I then noticed water all over the place, I thought maybe I didn't clean off excess water but soon realized what was going on. The two welds below the mouth-piece on the blue tubes were leaking. Tiny pin holes but enough to render this rig useless. I sent a message to the seller but being that it's Chinese New Year I don't expect a response soon. I'll keep everyone posted as to what their response will be but until then I would hold off ordering this rig from this seller until I know what's gonna happen. Sucks but at least $34 is easier to swallow than $1200...:shrug:

Sorry to hear that, because it sure looks like a nice piece.

Let's hope the seller comes true and ships a replacement soon

Agreed, but the picture used on DHGate is actually a photo of a ~$1200 piece from @borobenjamin on IG.
I'm wondering what the copy looks like.

Second part of headshop420 order came through.

Packaging on both was bomb proof, literally? It came in a cut - out foam box, put in an envelope of air filled long tubes, wrapped in another layer of plastic. I guess shipped like that chances of getting a broken piece are almost zero.

Both pieces look /function way better then their price would let you assume.

Strange they decided to have the perc slits in the egg cycler face down and the one on the straight fab upwards. Upwards in my experience actually gives a more even diffusion and would have made the recycle function of the egg cycler even better. Now it does need quite a high water level for it to recycle. Nevertheless, even a 'high' water level in this piece still means very little water.

Edit: Sorry for the sideways picture....If ons right clicks the picture and elects open picture it shows it upright:shrug:

I ended up getting the SL074 bong below
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/2014-new-45cm-height-roor-glass-smoking-pipes/214082689.html

That piece looks great btw!

I'm really hoping for some big fat UNCIVILIZED bong rips from this guy. The Vapcap really inspired me to get a bigger water piece that I can fill with vapour.

That piece is perfect for BonG rips!
Not for vaporizers however perfect for combustion.

I like smaller mouthpieces.

To each his own. I feel like I can make any glass work with vapour if paired with the right vape. I feel like the vapcap is ideally suited for a big piece as it has a very similar vapour production curve to smoking a bowl. It doesn't constantly produce vapour like an electronic vape does, allowing me to finish the heat cycle in one draw.

I have a small bubbler that is doing a great job of cooling the vapour but it doesn't let me see the vapour much. This tall piece I ordered is not supposed to be practical piece but rather a "fun" piece.

Just an update on my last post #23491
I messaged DHgate about the log-in page being flagged as 'Connection is Not Secure' by Firefox.
They advised me to change my browser - aka: shoot the messenger.
Anyway, I've changed my password and will change it again when Firefox is happier with their security arrangements.
This has been a public service announcement by Brainiac Megacorps Inc.

My Fab Egg came with a failed joint so it'll be a stress-test for senyoglass420's CS dept. We'll see how it pans out.

Alright my Dabbin' brethren I went Mr. Fix-It on this piece. I picked up some J-B Weld (clear) and used 100 grit sandpaper and went around both spots to scuff it up a bit. Applied the epoxy and let it dry for 24 hours. I filled it with water and success no leaks whatsoever. I showed some friends and they couldn't even tell I had done some work to it. I went light but thorough on the application and it looks pretty decent. I then gave it a thorough ISO/salt wash and then used some PBW and tons of warm water rinses (super OCD). Still no leaks and I was able to break it in officially today. Function was perfect and no wierd funky taste or smell but I'm still gonna let the seller know it leaked. Just in case all they do is offer a 5% discount on future purchases (yeah right :lol:) at least it works. Like I said for $34 it could have been worse...Thanx All...

Just a heads up, after my purchase from headshop420 at dhgate my credit card data has been robbed and used for many purchases. Just got back from bank, had to go to police and so on.

No fun at all.

Strange thing is it has been used to order stuff in Amsterdam and Berlin...

Always used to use pre-paid credit cards for dhgate orders, now I remember why...

This ties in with the Firefox warning of unsecure log-in page (see my posts #23491 and #23501). It also means that the assurances given to me by DHgate are worthless. Here's the section of their response regarding that issue:

Thanks for contacting DHgate Customer Service. We're glad to assist you with your concern.
In regards with your concern, yes all your information in Dhgate are totally secured so you don't have to worry with that.In regards with the connection secure please try to use different browser if your not comportable to for the security of the other website.

Firefox is still flagging the homepage as unsecure. I guess all the technicians are on holiday.
I've unticked the remember me box and changed my password.

Personally, I'm buying nothing on DHgate until they've got this security issue fixed.

@tepictoton hope you get your account sorted out without financial loss and the minimum of hassle.
Thanks for letting us know.

Edit: If you used your DHgate password on any other site change it there too.
