Cool, no worries on that point yet, I was looking for a piece to go with an Auber PID controller, flat coil and sic Halo dish I am looking at getting to try dabbing.It needs a pretty good draw rate
What is your favorite dab bong, any links/suggestions are welcome.
I know you didn't ask me, but I feel chatty so I thought I'd answer.
I've been purchasing from DHGate since the start of this thread basically and even was reselling pieces locally for a bit so I've had my hands on many different pieces.
Still my favorite dab rig ever is the FC-710 Bates&Worm Diffusion Pump knock off... it's often recommended here and for good reason... just brilliant function. Great cooling, fantastic flavor because there's minimal diffusion or even contact with the water by the vapor. Plus, there is very little free space in the can to collect reclaim. It's the most potent dab rig I've ever hit because so few actives are lost.

I've got a few heady pieces that I wish functioned as well as this piece so I'd use them more often.
Fuck, rattle cans are noisy. I do like the look of the 18mm joint, but the flat mouthpiece is a worry(I haven't tried that style, maybe it is time I did) Maybe I need both....GAS
That is how it is supposed to be. You won't get the full rattle effect if you do not fill these pieces to the neck. I have the 2nd one with the 18F and can attest to its greatness. I would like to get a heady version one day.You think dude has put enough water in those?! Must’ve been thirsty...
I mean that first one, the male joint, is ridiculous. WTF?!
The rattle-can definitely earns its name! Even with twice the water necessary.
Thanks @nosmoking I had no idea that was the proper water level. That’s nuts but I’ve heard so many attest to the flavourful hits they provide so I do not doubt what you say. Thanks for the knowledge!
... from my expierence, the FC-710 is better than the 'rattle can'... i got my FC-710 from Steven and rattlecan from sunshine store (looked same as pic above with 18mm female joint)... my rattle can did not function as it should have- pretty sure there was no hole where the ball sits (the 'valve')...
... i ended up getting two fc-710's from steven because it worked much better than the one from sunshine store...
Interesting. I didn't find the FC-Rattlecan on the Sunshine Store site. Not sure if they don't have it anymore, or I just didn't look hard enough.
What's the problem with a male joint?
I joke but honestly saw a few IG artists post to this effect last spring: No Male Joints in 2018!

I made a similar decision over a year ago, when I let my favorite iHS know that I would not be purchasing any straight-tube pipes of any kind in the future, and that I was standardizing everything to 14mm female joints. I told,them that if they wanted to sell me glass , that was how.
As for how that ended up working, I got my first dab rig last month. 14mm female, twin barrel percs, curved neck. Haven’t used it yet, I expect it to freak out one of my roommates.
And since this is the place for cheap, high-quality glass, the rig I picked is pretty freakin flawless...ALL the joins are beautifully done, couldn’t see them if you didn’t know, the entire thing is massive, it looks 4-5 mm throughout, and the wide flat base must be 7mm or more. It’s from thick-ass glass, and I’m assured that they’re a domestic gateway for high-end Chinese glass. Shipping very quick, very securely packaged.

The only real downside to it is, it’s a big can. I guess this is where I milk it? Just fill the can with vapor, then pull the banger and take it all at once?
