Cheap High Quality Bubbler

[rakka]

You can pair it with pretty much any glass. Before I got the d020d from dhgate, I used a medium sized black leaf double honeycomb bong which I bought from EDIT. Which is in the UK so maybe check it out

Remember you need a gong as well... I think the PVHEGonG is available on VapeFiend if ur in the uk

For instance... I believe they have a German webpage and a Spanish one, that is head and nature, I shipped with them before and was happy with that.

I received a GB242 with a cracked weld from Yingmin a few weeks ago and just safely received the replacement today.

I'm very happy and impressed with his customer service. He didn't give me a hard time or make me feel like it was my fault in any way. Just polite, expedient and exceeded expectations.

Definitely be purchasing more from Yingmin in the future.

After the CNY I'll be picking up yingmin's 187 sidecar. I'd like to see how his and Steven's compare. There is a $2 difference with yingmin's being more expensive. Also his is only left handed (mp on right). I've always had good experiences with him and so have many others here.

Lol, I just got my Yingmin GB-187-S. This is my first GB-187 series, so I can't compare to the OG 187.

Shipping was superb (bubble wrap on the exterior of the box!). The Perc on the 187 is stunning. Perfectly in every way, the cuts are awesome. The mouthpiece is also an improvement over the FC-187.

The base on both pieces appears to be nearly the same diameter. The only main differences aside from the perc that I see, is that my FC-187 is about 0.25 inches taller, and the FC-187 is maybe 0.5 to 1.0mm thicker glass. Still the GB-187-S is an improvement over my FC-187v1 with it's poorly cut perc

But here's some pictures of the FC-187v1 vs the GB-187-S

FC-187v1 on the left, GB-187-S on the right. - note the height difference.
Oodly enough, the mouthpieces are both angled nearly identically

Check out the difference in build quality on these percs. The FC-187 is on the left

And lastly, a great shot of how a knockoff matrix perc SHOULD look like

Personally, I'm going to sell my FC-187 to a combusting friend who REALLY likes the design, and keep the GB-187-S for myself

 

[cybrguy]

Yeah, I wish I had waited for him rather than going with Steven, but he was too slow and wasn't instilling confidence that he was ever going to make it. The piece I got from Steven as a replacement for a broken one is just short of usable with a bad perc. Bad enough that I wouldn't feel right selling it.
I'm tempted to get yingmin's but I think I will just wait for the Large Pillar.

 

[Delta3DStudios]

Yeah, but in usual Chinese fashion, many vendors won't make a design by request, until they have another one to copy from. It's just hilarious in this case that Yingmin5 is copying Steven.

I've been using my GB-187-S and it fires nicely all around. I do see how someone doing dabs might get a small drink if they rip too hard. But since I'm using it exclusively for flowers, I have no problem.

My FC-187 works, but it doesn't properly fire when hitting it soft for a vaporizer. I pointed it out to my combusting friend. She doesn't care at all about the price I'm asking, she's more than happy to pay it.

@Ratchett thanks for posting the side by side comparison. Is your FC-187 the V1 with not as good of perc?

Did the Yingmin improve his perc since his original 187?

Is anyone able to post side by side pictures of FC-187 V1 and V2? I have been thinking about selling my V1 and getting the new one but I might just wait until V3 which will have improved mouthpiece

 

[Delta3DStudios]

@blankrider It's the V1 with a very sloppy perc. Since I don't have the GB-187, I can't comment on how this perc compares to his original, but I will say all the cuts are very clean and evenly cut

Edit, woops! Almost forgot to mention two other observations

1) The FC-187 Can appears to be slightly larger in diameter than the GB-187-S
2) The sidearm on the FC-187 is a larger diameter than the GB-187-S (considerably larger, like 5-10 mm larger diameter)

V1 on the left, V2 on the right.

I fucking love this forum - ask and ye shall received - nice work @weenstoned

 

[NickDlow]

Yea you guys are on your game that's for sure!

When I get my gb-187-s I'll compare with my gb-187's.

 

[DieHard]

Man, I had a GB-187 v1 and a FC-187 v1. Both broke nearly in the same week.

I think you need to invest in foam floors my friend.

Lmfao. Mrs Diehard broke one reaching for my IPad. Her sister and our cat conspired to break the other.

 

[flotntoke]

That sucks, and I'm sure you already know the one that broke while Mrs Diehard was reaching for your IPad was your fault.

But, maybe time to give that cat to her sister and send them both on their way.

Just another reason to love the cheap Chinese glass. Sucks to be out $75 or so on broken pieces, but way better than $700 - 800!

It was great. The cat went tearing off. I came back in the room and @Shyneeholographic (mrs DieHard's sis, made an account here but hasn't been back )was all big-eyed and like. I laughed it off and was like, "it's ok , now I have an excuse to order a new one" don't worry about it. Really.
She felt so guilty.

2) The sidearm on the FC-187 is a larger diameter than the GB-187-S (considerably larger, like 5-10 mm larger diameter)

I noticed that in your pic. Is there any noticeable difference? I would think not as the smaller is still large enough...

Well, that just means they were MEANT to be broken. Or at least that is what the women in MY life say...

I got the new Kathy Egg today it's simply fucking awesome. I have no experience with an authentic Egg,but i imagine this is how it would hit. I have the first honeycomb egg she put out and this one shames that one. This thing has intricate detail i imagine an American artist would ask at least $600 for this type detail. Overall this piece gets a solid 10 in all departments

 

[cybrguy]

Shit. I was afraid that was gonna happen. When I saw it I kinda hoped it was gonna suck as it isn't part of the plan.

What's that link again?

No, nevermind. Don't tell me...

 

[Delta3DStudios]

I noticed that in your pic. Is there any noticeable difference? I would think not as the smaller is still large enough...

FC-187 Can OD = 66mm
GB-187-S Can OD = 60mm
(wow, I knew it was smaller, but 5mm is a small difference!)

FC-187 Sidearm Tube - 26mm
GB-187-S Sidearm Tube - 20.25mm

Really the only noticeable difference is the glass thickness. The FC-187 is noticeably thicker glass.

Still liking the GB-187-S. I can see why people like this series - @flotntoke - you need one in your collection!

Can you post a side by side pic of the honeycomb egg and the new egg?

Is the base any larger in diameter on the new egg?

The honeycomb egg is a bit tipsy with my enail attached, especially if using a drop down which I always do, and that's what I'm afraid will be the case with the new egg as it looks similar in size to the honeycomb egg, maybe just a little taller (aka more tipsy with an enail )

The bases are exactly the same for mine.

Exactly the same eh? Did you wake and bake just now?

8.54 pm here

Are you just referring to the colors?
I held the bases up against each other and they are literally the same diameter
