Get one then. Anything clear I think will be worth it from a function/quality wise. That's the super cheap side of me talking.
The designed stuff, I'm finding errors that need clarification now that I'm looking at this at normal hours of the day and not during Chinese hours of operation.
Anyway now that I'm home here is my selection of pieces.
My favorite and the one I'll recommend anyone. It's cheapest and is basically like an upgraded FC 187 or whatever. Get the Narrow for less diffusion, keep in mind it's a little taller due to the way the mouth piece is angled.

(Clear is may also be available. If so, hopefully should be about $5 cheaper)

The colored would be $95-110 so it can go in both categories.
Some good deals on the design stuff:

This came out cheaper than what I expected. Maybe people don't like slyme or something and that's why.
$75-80 shipped.

$90-100 shipped.
I post this one because it's the only incycler I saw on here. I guess a Klein is considered an "incycler", but I don't because the arm comes out and is a tipping point. Here, the arm is fully contained within the piece. This could also be considered a straight taurus fab. I haven't seen any of these around, so this is definitely a nice thing to pick up. Obviously I'd ask for a straighter perc (That's crooked right?)
$90-100 shipped
This is just the straight fab.
This list is pretty recycler heavy. I don't believe there is much value in getting the other pieces because they're not hard to do. The rest were quite simple designs that I believe you can find on DHGate already.
Also, the Matrix bubbler pretty much is better than a lot of other choices. You're welcome to take a look at the other recyclers, they're all pretty small and should come at around the matrix bubbler price so if you just want a cheap small recycler of better quality than normal DHGate glass I guess you can try that out.
If you wanted to be cheap, the Matrix Bubbler + Clear FTK/Klein would be a great package deal. Probably looking at $85 shipped for that.
If you're looking for a straight fab for cheap, there isn't one that I saw. You could try the ball rig though. I've posted what I feel is the best selection though after about 4-6 hours of looking through this today.
Your posts are always hilarious. Nah, I got to try out a lot of glass in college but by no means have I tried out enough. I have enough experience with the Matrix perc to realize the difference between a cheap one and a good one.
Kathy0577 isn't a seller on DHGate anymore due to just lowquality everything (Even lead apparently, she may be back under a new name who knows though),
Her matrix perc is basically just a normal tyre perc. Very few slits
StevenLMZ adds more, but I don't have one personally. The function from videos I've seen seems to be good though.
The one from Hemping adds even MORE slits. That allows for a very easy effortless pull.
The main draw resistance from my mobius piece is the downstem. The matrix pull is effortless. So you'd get a LOT less draw resistance if this matrix perc is done even better than Stevens.
I do agree with you, my main issue with these pieces are the mouth pieces. I believe that the atom Matrix design changed the game. I would prefer all the mouth pieces to be "sip" style. The wide flared ones are the WORST.
Mobius 2016 lineup has a CRAZY new mouthpiece that I don't even know how you hit it.
My local store is an authorized Mobius dealer, I may have to see it in person.
I'm new to glass and am not sure what characteristics make for a better glass piece; I assume that there is an optimal thickness, diffusion style (for vaping at least), etc. I simply can't believe that some pieces are $300+ but again, I'm new to glass and so probably would not be able to appreciate some of the higher end products. Anyway, I prefer something with a little less diffusion to preserve flavor (I believe I read somewhere on here that diffusion reduces flavor, of vapor). If I can't find anything sub-$80-100, I'll probably just get an Ehle 250, but I prefer the aesthetics of a bubbler versus any bong. Thanks for the help, peoples of the FC community.
