I paid 1/3 the price for my FOL version with the skinny MP when they were first on DHGate, they sure have jumped up in price.
Another similar here...green or blue, about US$70,
There is a function video on the listing that also shows the MP up close so you can decide if it is to your liking...or not.
I’m curious about that one too @El Duderino. Thought SAML had one with a 18mm joint, but only have seen the 14 lately. https://www.dhgate.com/product/mothership-straight-fab-2015-new-height-27/239957059.html
Dear all
Please excuse me if the following question has been asked before, I didn't read the whole thread...
Is the above bong that @LesPlenty linked to recommended? I ask because I've seen a similar bong in Troy's videos and therefore just naively assume it's good. Also i just like the looks.
If recommended, are there any other versions of it for sale on DHGate? Unfortunately JCGlass does not ship to Switzerland. I have searched DHGate, but have not found this bong on any other store (although DHGate's search is not the best, so I may have missed something).
I do see the same bong at lacentralevapeur.com, but it is clearly too expensive for me there.
EDIT: Many greetings at this point to @Shit Snacks. I told you it was dangerous for me that you were showing me DHGate. Now you see where that leads...

Good to hear that it's not just me.
Thanks also for the link @TedJones, that's a step in the right direction and they also ship to Switzerland.
EDIT: This one looks quite similar: https://dhgate.com/product/2022-gravity-bongs-water-pipes-hookahs-tornado/775905347.html
Yes that is a solid looking straight fab, instead of FOL or ratchet fountain perc it has a fountain honeycomb disc, as a result there might be a little more restriction hitting it at first, maybe similar to a frit in that way, but still nice diffusion and airflow I'm sure...
However it is made by JC Glassshop and they are the only ones who sell it on DHgate (it is resold by cannabis hardware for much more money) so you would have to go to the aftermarket, sometimes they pop up on the exchange etc.
They do have an 18, it has been out of stock, since it was so popular, I think they are also making slight change like adding ground glass for the joint since mine is unfrosted although I like it that way... They are supposed to make an announcement to tell us when the 18 is available again in their thread here, but you could keep an eye out or maybe sign up for notifications through DHG?
Haha yeah I mean you still have some good ones on the way, you could keep waiting till the 18 straight fab fol is available again from Steven, if you can't wait try the 14?
I think I mentioned it and suggested it when you ordered the inline honeycomb though...?
The one above is nice too, and they have some other variations, like the Swiss frit that I have, very nice quality, although they are not that cheap? Nice if they ship to you
Do you use all these bongs (you seem to have a lot) for dabbing or do you vaporize herbs with them?
Could you perhaps tell me which thread you are referring to? I'd like to have a look there.
Great, thank you very much for your feedback. I'll keep an eye on it.
They are technically designed as dab rigs, I prefer other styles for dabbing though, I think they are pretty perfect for herbal vaporizing primarily and that is how I use them exclusively
In the glass section there is one for SamL Steven Popular Glass
This is a smaller, 14 mm purple inline honeycomb fountain straight fab, function should be very similar to the JC glass shop one all those sized more like the smaller SamL straight fab FOL 14:

EDIT: I do now, the right combo (TM2 + Honeycomb from DHGate + Tinymight.t_bowl) did the trick

I have that 18mm SAML straight fab that you guys were talking about. With the water at the proper level it's more restricted than I like for a dab rig. If you put the water level low and it becomes a lot less restricted and better for dabs in my opinion, but the swiss perc becomes nonfunctional. I have other pieces I like better for dabs so I never use it for that outside of experimenting with it.
That is fantastic for under $30Outstanding glass for under $30!This thing has incredible airflow.

Sweet! Good luck! Big upgrade year for me, too...Thanks for the recommendations in this thread peeps! I just bought the 3 glass pieces below after reading a few pages and looking at some of the links. I wanted 14mm joints for continuity with my other stuff, so couldn't find that nice 8-9 incher with the side slits and honeycomb disc above it in 14mm, only 18mm. Oh well.
Was time to upgrade from the old HiGuy big bong and mega globe and nice to have options.
Can't wait!!!
Nice, enjoy! I think I finally tired of chugging on the big bong and the globe is just okay.Sweet! Good luck! Big upgrade year for me, too...
I'm mostly 14mm as well for the same reason but still have a couple 18mm pieces that were either mistakenly ordered or shipped and don't mind using those little reducers all that much... sometimes they even help a little... now, going the other way would be a much bigger issue for me personally...
just throwing it out there....

+1, really like the size of it. Wish it was available in 18. I’ll end up with one or the other eventuallyYou'll have to let us know how this one is, I think it should be good, like the JCGS straight fab only smaller... Nicely done!
Thanks! I will follow up with my thoughts after I've tried them. That one does look very similar to one of your links doesn't it, but like you mention, slightly smaller. I plan on keeping that piece in my locking hard resin case I use as a vape kit as sort of the main one always with my main kit, so I needed it to be max 9 inches to fit. Those ones you posted are in the 9-9.5" range according to their 23-24 cm height, so I was right on the line. I try to keep most of my stuff in those hard waterproof cases as it really cuts down on the smell in the house.Oh I think you would have been fine to get the inline honeycomb with slits facing down in 14 mm, still would be solid enough, however I of course recommend getting the 18 with the side slits, and then getting some 18-14 dropdown adapters, not only do they make it easy to switch sizes, they will keep your water cleaner, add a little extra cooling, help keep the vape bowl etc out of your face lower down and off to the side as well!
