A lot of the popular sellers run coupons, and if you use the app many things are cheaper than the browser site.

I'm hesitant of any piece without a function vid. If at least 1 chinese seller has one ok, but when no one does, I like to wait until someone gets it.

None. I prefer using the Crafty and the Mighty alone. I found that what degrades the batteries of the two are the water tool sessions. At the end of which Crafty always signals being kaputt by its blue alarm. Mighty has no blue lights but it's just a Crafty with 2 batteries. Before realizing this I bought a D020D and it was fun to use it with Mighty and Crafty.Hi all,
I'm interested to hear from those of you with mighty vaporisers what piece, purchased from DHgate, is your favourite to use it with?
Peace

Yea, unless the 'portable' element of your vaping is paramount I'd suggest a plug-in.
They're more suitable for glass imo. Logs are a good option. I'd recommend Underdog.
Do bear in mind tho that down this path the pleasures and pains of GAS await

Many people on the crafty thread have experienced similar problems, but for the most part the Mighty users (including myself) have had no problems using it with glass. Going two years strong and pretty much solely used through water for 18 months of that.

Thanks for the advice, I've just messaged @RastaVapa to get on the waiting list for a HGL and I'm going to enter @Ed's TnT MAW competition when I get enough trophies. So a log is definitely next on the list. Although i stumbled upon the DynaVap OmniVap today and that's piqued my interest... The VAS is real!
Until then though the mighty is all I have and it's been holding up being used with glass for a while now so I'm probably going to buy a decent piece for a bit of variety of glass while I wait to see what happens with the log.
I think I just admitted to having VAS and GAS... The struggle is real

I am looking for a 12 inch beaker to use with my grasshopper. Back in the day, when I would combust, a 12 inch beaker was my every day piece. It broke when I was moving last year. This is the only thing about vaping that I don't like so I need to get a new glass piece. From experience, I ready like the drawl pressure from a lot of water so I am thinking a beaker will work better than a bubbler but I don't know how this works with a vape pen.
I am thinking going with this one. Any suggestions?

Sounds more like a vape issue than glass issue to me. But, I've never been a fan of either the Crafty or Mighty. Not saying others shouldn't have and enjoy theirs, but not really my cup of tea.
Get what you think you would like best, but IMO a large beaker like this isn't the best tool for vaping. Nice for lung busting combustion, but check out what most others suggest here for the vapes. With something like a grasshopper, I'd go with smaller/simpler for at least a couple reasons.... Portability, flavor retention, easier to hit how you like without doing huge lung-busters every hit, easier to fill with vapor.
It's not like you can't inhale all the vapor you like before clearing instead of filling the whole chamber - then clearing - if you know what I mean.

That makes sense. I guess I am more concerned about water volume vs other factors. It seems like a lot of people order from DHgate but I would rather order within the states if possible. I saw where seveal peeps recommend the matrix
https://www.thickassglass.com/produ...x5mm-18mm-female?nosto=collectionpage-nosto-2
but it doesn't seem like it holds a lot of water. I am mainly looking for something to cool the hitter vapor from the grasshopper. I saw this pendant rig and was curious on how well this one will do on the grasshopper. It looks like it might hold a little bit more water for deeper hits

As a portable minivap user, I would definitely use a water tool. But I also declined to get the mighty/crafty when I was told that I could spend more for an even better vaporizer (the minivap). I use mine daily in portable mode with all types of bongs no problem.
This isn't some vaporizer specific thing.
I'd get a small recycler if you want the smoothest of hits. A d020d style piece if you want more flavor, and something with a pure basic perc if you want the most flavor.
I use my FTK the most.

Yeah... that first one is good - if a bit overpriced because from a US re-seller. I have a similar one myself that I love.
Why concerned about water volume? IME it really doesn't take much to tame vapor. And if that is a big factor for you, just throw your water in the fridge for an hour first if cold tap water isn't cool enough.

go smaller. something with a small can will be fine.
someone used to post an inline tongue diffuser that would be perfect. I think you want a 14mm female IIRC but I don't have a hopper

I'm just basically going back to my memory with most bubblers. They never seemed to satisfy me because the pull was never "deep" enough. Plus water would always get in my mouth. But it sounds like I need to get over ilthat preference.
Thanks for the info. I think I have no choice but to go smaller. I am looking into this adapter.

@CroZure I have a Mighty vaporiser, I cannot compare it against the grasshopper (which I haven't tried) but it's renowned for producing some of the best vapour from a portable, however I find the first piece of glass I purchased (the GB-187 10" 60mm diameter by yingmin5) to have too much diffusion.
The next bubbler piece I'll be considering will be something around the 8" size.
These look good:

I know you've said you'd like to buy American and I can understand wanting to support a fellow countryman and small business, but at your price range you'll get more bang for your buck with DHgate. Wait and spend some more getting some nice American glass if that's what you want to do, otherwise you're probably just going to get ripped off by purchasing some crappy glass you could have paid less for.

They're all mighty pretty pieces, but think all are going to create quite a bit of diffusion. Diffusion has little to do with the size (other than churning in a tube), and more to do with percs and path. I'd strongly suggest you get a simpler piece for vaping. They're cheaper, too! Maybe not as intricate, or cool looking, but the fewer tiny bubbles churning around in there - the better - IMO.
Matrix type percs (sometimes tires and other names) can do this pretty easily, but IME take a little more hit control. Slow and steady until clear is fine. But the simpler showerheads (D-020 & D-020D type) work nicely. One of my personal favs for simple low diffusion vapor is the good old FC ufo. It doesn't look like much, and is almost corny with tube option (which I enjoy regularly by the way), but is a solid hitter and you can orient the mouthpiece whichever way you like.
Stick with reliable sellers who have a good rep here on FC as always.
EDIT: @CroZure - I'm not exactly sure what you are saying with the "deep" pull, but if I'm getting it at all, it's what I would call initial draw resistance. That can be fun for me sometimes, and I really like it on dabs. For a couple cool pieces that do this, while still somehow retaining flavor, check out the FC710 and good old D-cycler (also available with a honey bucket from same seller). They're also 14mm male, which from what I understand will work well with your GH.

I kind of like this one because of the tubing and it from reading the reviews, a lot of people use this one for vaping. I have a mighty too but it looks like I will need a 18 mm to 14 mm adapter. I did read one review where a person said that it was too big for flower, which is what I always vape.
I really like this one too. I guess the mighty will work with both 18 mm and 14 mm so this one is a serious consideration.
Maybe I just need to get both.

I would respectfully disagree, all of the pieces I linked have simple percs that will not produce loads of bubbles.
Also, diffusion is definitely linked to volume of pathway which is why the ones I've linked would be good because they have low volume to keep the vapour dense.
At the end of the day it's personal preference, and even though it's cheap glass I'd still have to like using and looking at a piece.

Both is always a good idea! If getting one of these, I might go with a matrix perc for a second piece. As different as these two are, they feel very similar to me in performance. Could just be me tho. I almost always reach for one of these for the dabs. If I had to chose one for vapor, I'd take the D-cyclerOK. If you say so. Everything I've seen of the Klein type (internal recycler) and fab eggs look like they churn things up pretty well compared to many others. And must admit, you've lost me on diffusion linked to volume of pathway. Unless you mean a shorter pathway through channels or a maze of glass. That I get, and is why I think a clearer can is better than an egg or similar. Once the vapor is through the perc and in the can, diffusion is pretty much done IMO.
Apologies on saying the same about the hydratube you linked. That one does look very good for low diffusion vaping at second glance. When I first looked at it in my vapor haze last night, I thought it was a different one.
Yes, personal preference is always key. And if you're after form as much as function (or even more), that is part of a personal choice. Just being a pretty well made piece of glass satisfies my form criteria. Function is what it's all about for me - especially with the cheap Chinese stuff. And, performance is what I am usually commenting on here for what I like best.

Good news on my failed fab egg joint (see:#23520)
I expected problems because the fail was so hard to see - or photograph.
But it's all turned out good. Had to get in touch with DHgate to open a 'dispute' because they were going to release payment to the vendor - and the vendor had not replied to my messages because he/she was still away on New Year's hols.
Yesterday morning there were emails and messages waiting for me. The dispute had been resolved and I was to receive a full refund
- which is what I had requested - with no requirement to return the glass. Had another email today stating that the refund - $39.29 - had been deposited in my account.
All this came from DHgate (or, 'System' as it spookily calls itself). I also had a message from the vendor saying that they had just got back from holiday and would send me a replacement "asap"
. I messaged back to say that I'd accepted a full refund and that there was no obligation on their part to send me a new one. Will let you know if there are any further developments there.
All in all I'm very happy with the way it's turned out and would use this vendor again.

As for the fab egg, well I'm going to attempt a repair with glass glue.

That good to know because I ordered the D-cycler this morning and decided to think about the FC UFO. Maybe I'll go with a matrix for my second one. Also ordered the mighty water adapter from delta 3 studios so I am going to use both the might and the grasshopper on it. Cant believe I've had the might for over 1 1/2 years and never hooked it up to a water pipe.

Sounds like a good plan. @Ratchett (Delta 3D) will hook you up nicely for a cheap price!
I think FC UFO would be a good second. It is very similar to a Matrix perc in performance. Just less little bubbles, and more big ones. A good thing that doesn't require the same concentration when you're drawing the vapor thru it. When I said don't know about getting "both", I meant D-Cycler and FC710. Think you'll really like the D-Cycler. I love mine!
