I put around 95 mL of water in the FC-186. Supposed to be 1 drop to 10 ml. I like my water darker.
How much water do people put in the FC 186?

ya'll are killing me with this 186 talk I have been wanting that one, but have been spending all my extra scratch on glass bloswing supplies... once I get the money in my paypal I'm getting that one for sure. I just hope they keep making them good, hate to miss this round since everyone seems to be getting good ones right now.

This is my best piece for my situation FC 186!
The D020 & D022 I love as well.
However the FC186 is the best!
I have a FC 187 however the perc is lower or perfect on the FC 186!

The stereo matrix perc fires well with the water level not completely covering the perc, because when you start to hit it, the water level rises up a bit. Try it with just enough water to completely cover the perc, AFTER it rises, before it starts bubbling. You can add more water, for a more cooled/filtered hit, but for max flavor, you don't have to cover the whole top perc.
Not sure if this is the case with the fc-186, but with the gb-186, it is. Especially if you are mixing in Cranberry Extract. The bubbles will hit the top of the can with the water level specified above. ANything else, and a hard clear can cause a drink.
What I'm curious about, is how the fc-186 compares to the gb-186. If anyone has both, how do they differ, if at all (aside from the neck/mouthpiece).

I agree. The effects of keeping the glass clean and shiny occur at 3-4 drops with most pieces, but in a piece that holds more water, like a big recycler or something, more might be needed for the same results.

I have the gb-186 not the fc-186 but I can definitely fill to the top of the perc and not get water in my mouth. However, I find the flavour is better if you fill to halfway up the top matrix perc.

Oh, you definitely CAN fill it up to the top of the perc, and be fine. You just can't fill it too high, and clear it really hard for a few seconds, with no restriction. With CE added, even halfway up the perk can get your lips wet, if you pull hard enough for a few seconds. The bubbles just stack and climb the smooth glass insanely well. There's no need to clear the piece so hard anyway, so it isn't a problem. I was just mentioning it because some pieces you can clear full force and no water will get into your mouth. I agree that the main benefit of less water is the flavor, though.

Tried the torus out with my least restrictive flower vape,
How hard are you pulling?
anyone figured out the WOL torus water level? having it to the funnel is nearly impossible unless you want a drink. having it almost to the funnel works but you can barely pull it.

Thanks for the advice folks.
Had too much water and too much cranberry extract in there. At least it tasted good when water went in my mouth!

You seem to be an expert!
I didn't have my first joint until 1970.

I have a double recycler from @BoogerMan that came from Distilled Glass and it holds more water than any piece I've seen And I only use 3drops of cranberry extract.
Essentially, no (I believe lab tests showed NACE had a bit more cranberry extract than Rezblock). Theoretically, I think you'd need 1 or 2 less drops of CE than Rezblock to get the same results.
I never reclaim anything from my water (too many minerals and impurities). I always catch my reclaim before it hits the water. (I use a cotton ball for my desktop vapes, this catches ABV debris and absorbs some reclaim. makes for an awesome late night vape session)

Cmengglass Cheap Fab Egg arrived yesterday and has been put through it's paces.
Like @GSH mine is excellent quality, perc fires evenly etc. I have only 1 bubble (on the very bottom of the egg) and a perc that curves slightly to the right but otherwise it's flawless and really impressed the people I used it with. The draw is much smoother than my more expensive D-Cycler K/O that's also been popular.

Too busy and medicated to read all the posts above but I saw something about water level. Ive owned the real piece, the 65t and actually the 60t, along with the bubbler version that the fc-187 is modeled after. They are all great and function slighlty better then the china versions, and obviously more aesthetically pleasing however the 186 and 187 are very well made and very thick.
That being said for water level..
The 187 should be fully covered, more restrictive stuff fill it right above the perc just covering, less restrictive can go about 1/4 to a 1/2 inch above the perc due to less drag from the attachment.
For the 186 I always fill it to the half way line of the second perc. This is HOW the american version was intended to be filled. When you pull it the water from the 90 degree joint pulls into the perc aswell. The bottom perc is designed to push water upwards, while the top perc filters it. The american version (60t mobius) and the 186, hit very SIMILAR. And I will admit I tried combusting out of my 186, and I would say it is just about as smooth as the 60t, which is one of the smoothest single perc flower tubes you can get in my opinion ( and i have ownd lotssss of american scientifc glass including SG, mobius, dirty rico, regredably toro, and a few others)
Edit: it is possible to drown a perc out, thats whats will happen if you cover both matrics. To each there own.

Yep, all the time. The *only* thing about vaping this reclaim soaked cotton is the taste. It's pretty bad. I typically add more diffusion by adding an Ash-catcher to my rig. Though I really can't wait to get a picture of my new UFO-Frankenstein max-diffusion rig (CCG AC + FC UFO + PNWT). It's overkill for flowers, but perfect for reclaim

I have been doing the same thing for a long time. Below are some detailed posts that I did showing how effective this can be. The first few hits from a reclaim hemp fiber are the strongest and most potent hits I have ever had off of any vaporizer. The THC condensates onto the cotton so evenly that you can really white wall your glass when you hit it because when you vape it you have a large surface area of oil/honey/reclaim that is getting hit.

http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/vaping-with-cotton.9892/page-9#post-487919 Experiment 2
I usually build up my fibers for a couple weeks before I vape them off. They get really really gooey and have very potent hits. The first few hits do taste kind of ashy but once that is vaped off the hits are very clean for me.

I just bought one, do you think it will support a gong and solo?

Probably? Maybe?
Have you seen a fab egg in person? I hadn't until this arrived and the "downstem" is basically a freestanding glass rod inside the "egg" with a support connection by the joint. It's not weak but it's not the most structurally sound design.
EDIT: I just looked up the weight of a Solo and since it tips the scales at just over half a LB you should be fine.

I have the 9" CCG which should be about the same dimensions and it supported it fine and wasn't too tippy either. It's still easier to knock over than larger pieces though.

Read this like 10x and I'm still not sure if it's sarcasm or what...
Yea, CE is surprisingly effective at such low concentrations, even for the bubble stacking boost.
Does your cotton have a laundry room taste to it when you vape through it, or vape the reclaim off of it? If not, which cotton do you use?
