Thanks for the replies about big diffusers. You guys are awesome.
I'm trying to clear a few things up.
The recommendations were for a *-187-* piece. This is what I have got from you guys and looking at dhgate
GB-187-S - You guys love the mouth piece. Curious question, the mouthpiece looks to go straight up, from the picture on dhgate. Is that annoying? I really like the slanted mouthpiece, seems like it would be more comfortable.
GB-187-1 & FC-187v2. I've seen a lot of praise for these on here. Are these basically the same take on the design by different vendors? I did notice that they had the slanted mount pieces.
Could you guys help me understand the difference, and what you prefer? I imagine some of it's personal preference.
The original was the GB-187 that came out last spring (v1). A few of us bought them, gave them raving reviews, and he sold out quickly.
Looking for a replacement from another vendor, I believe it was
@blankrider that reached out to Steven and got us the FC-187 (same design, but with a sidecar mouthpiece as well).
Yingmang then released more GB-187's last fall (v2). The v2 version had a slightly taller can as well as a taller base. Here's a post I made with pictures of the differences -
GB-187 Versions.
Then, a few months later, Yingmang created the GB-187-S, the sidecar version, probably due to demand.
I own 2 GB-187's and an original FC-187. I no longer use the FC-187 and will offload it to a friend. My reasoning is simple.. I don't care for sidecars and I am not impressed by the build quality of the FC-187 (mainly the perc compared to the GB line, but I also despise the mouthpiece and actually rigged it for whip use, it is that bad (for me)).
Hope that helps.
On another note, I'm getting excited about the FC-UFO. Will order it tomorrow.
