Hahaha, damn that sucks!
Eh, I've got the interwebz, it'll deliver me anything I need in due time ;)
(Except the lovely herbage - Though I'm sure I could even find something like that if I was willing to look into tor/dark web stuff :lol:)

They must be unused
Or expertly washed with PBW/ISO ;)

I have lots of that stuff too. I have started asking for them to keep the domes, nails, and bowls and instead send me a little wigwag dish. I have gotten 3 dishes from Kathy that way. I have also asked for an adaptor instead and gotten that as well.
Nice :)

I managed to get kathy to upgrade me to a nice domeless Ti nail with one of my purchases, instead of an adapter, dome, 2x flower bowls and a glass nail, I just got a domeless Ti nail :)

Aside from that I basically just take what comes with the rig generally...

I like your idea of trying for a dish or something :)

Just in case any of you are not aware, the mini peyote pillar is now available for sale from Steven. You pretty much have to order it today if you don't want to wait for Chinese new year

I love your mirror idea, now can see what's going on and take the guess work out. Thanks @Tweak
That's why I won't buy a piece with a neck coming from the top of a can. It's a design flaw, considering the fact that a bubbler style neck (on pieces with can's) allows you to actually see what you paid for.

I really have to disagree with you here unless you are being specific to stacking pieces with multiple filters. Vapor has many different flavors based on the perc, can size, and neckpiece/constrictions. pillars/vortexing in specific though I agree is somewhat pointless, although there is filtration that is different to be had in a pillar (haven't tested one myself) that may effect how quickly the vapor travels as opposed to the visual aspect of the vortex. To further that, I can distinctly tell the difference between dabbing or vaping out of a piece with little restriction/cansize (10mm micro tube / fc710/ shisha water pen attachment/ toro double micro to an extent), middle resistance/can (circ-turbine US blown 13inch, starbud cup, double barrel), and large (sov downgrid) and that they all have their individual flavors and different speed and pull clears.

The draw can feel different, and the intensity of the flavors can be different, but the effect of the vapor, and the flavor profile do not change from piece to piece, if you keep them clean.
If you take a huge hit from two pieces and blow the hits into a testing machine, one hit might be denser, but it won't contain different chemicals. it's not like a matrix perc filters out more CBN than others, and fritted disks filter more CBD. One can filter more of everything out, making the vapor less dense, but it can't selectively do anything. Glass is glass.

Ex. A diffusion pump may have stronger flavor than a gb-186, using the same herb, but that vapor is going to have the same flavor/effect profile on both pieces. One piece isn't going to taste like lemon and one like pine, if you use the same bud.

Personally if they were put in a bag I would think that a lot of flavor would be lost obviously, and to top that the individual bags will have different strengths of harshness but to a much minor extent due to the fact that they are bags and not individual pulls. I'm not sure what you mean by a single matrix though, as I would think a single matrix in a large can is enough diffusion for most vaping yes, but a stereo matrix obviously has a completely different method of added diffusion to it.
The different bags would all be affected the same way, so if vapor was put into them from different piees, the vapor that comes out of them should all be different too. Even if it is changed from when it went in, it would still be noticeably different if it was as big a deal as people make it out to be.

In regards to pillars, one thing they do, is allow you to have a piece with large inner volume, but very little space in which the vapor is being diffused/wet. The vapor gets diffused by the bottom perc, and then travels straight up the middle of the piece, before the bubbles can pop, which may be why they are supposed to retain a lot of flavor.

Basically, what I was saying in my original post, was that if you can't see the percolation and stuff happening in your piece, without some inconvenient mirror setup, I feel like it was a waste of money, since the vapor coming out isn't going to be THAT much different. There really is no need for having more than 2 pieces aside form aesthetics/compatibility with your devices, so you might as well get to enjoy the aesthetics.

I get it now. I think the side car and/or mirror tip is a good idea for a best-of thread.

I ordered the FC-710 , dropdown(they accidentally added another), and 2 pen bubblers after seeing @blankrider review. Placed the order on the 1st and both packages came today....10 days for Sunshine and Steven. Not bad at all. Sunshine hit LA then Hawaii where as Steven landed in SF.

Packaging was very good with both and all my pieces arrived safetly.

Extremely happy with these 2 sellers and their products!

Does anyone have a link to the pen bubblers here. Maybe @blankrider or @redijedi808 ?????

What is the difference between v1 and v2?
The main difference is the height of the perc. The V1 perc was a bit too high at more than 1/2" from the bottom of the can. The V2 is no more than 1/8" from the bottom. The V2 perc seems a bit more refined. Also the V2 is available in 3 different neck styles AFAIK. LH Sidecar, RH Sidecar and original style (bubbler neck). There are other subtle differences but those are inherent to individually blown pieces.

Do you guys think that Steven would be able to ship out a FC-710 before CNY if ordered today or would it be better to just wait?
Try to message him through the system. I think you may have missed it. I was messaging him about my cracked FC-187 and he managed to combine it with my other order. It was marked as shipped last night. :D

For those of you who have already received the 710, would you pair it with a separate ash catcher? I'm determining what joint adapter to buy and that is affected by whether I'd need to use the ash catcher.

For me the 710 is the ideal dab rig with my enail. The flavor retention is truly amazing. It is almost airy, there is so little drag. The joint is a 14mm male. I can't imagine the need for an AC. I am having a small drop-down made for it by @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd just to move it away from my face a little bit.:2c:

Thanks for the input, I'm really looking forward to christening that rig! Would you recommend going for a drop down adapter vs a straight 18mm male-female?
