I actually LOVE this one as far as aesthetics over the FC-710. How is it in comparison as far as performance??? Also, I've heard many great things about Steven, how is CCG's shipping, is it as fast?

CCG can be hit or miss with shipping according to what's here in the thread, but think much better recently. I got mine in the spring and had it in less than 2 weeks IIRC.

Performance wise I like the 710 a little better for flavor, but the D-cycler is right up there. D-cycler doesn't have the little clickity clack of the glass ball. Depending on the rest of your setup either could be a little easier in use. Top mounted GonG on 710 can provide a more stable base. D-Cylcer stemless type design keeps the heat a little further from your face and easier to see IMO, but that's with my older vision (reading glasses needed for past couple years).

D-Cycler looks cooler in use. Mine gets a nice water turbine going that drains as recylcers should according to what I've seen. If I'm quick I can easily pull back and see the last few swirls and watch it drain. Anyone else who has used it loves it and enjoys watching others use it. My girlfriend calls it the "cute little swirly one". 710 is really hard to get a good idea about unless you look at a vid or 2. Whole piece is filled with water, but in a diffusion pump like this vapor/smoke only goes through the J shaped tube in the middle - which is pretty cool looking too IMO.

I seem to reach for the 710 just a bit more often for dabs and vapor (60% - 40%, maybe only 55%). But, would probably quickly replace either of these if something happened to one. If you're having trouble making up your mind, I would just get whichever is tickling our fancy more right now, and the other for your next piece. IMO they're both very cheap for what they are and how they function, and always a good idea to have one on your your short list to help deal with GAS. ;)

CCG and Steven generally both use epacket, but I have found CCG to be better at getting things promptly in the mail. Also slightly faster, but that might be related to them being in different parts of China.

The 710 might not be a knock out aesthetically but the flavour makes it a must buy. I do not have the D-cycler, but I have their Torus which has the same perc. It works pretty great and still has decent flavour, but I still go for the 710 way more often. The drain on the torus is a tad fast, but as long as you have enough water it functions pretty well. Also like that it has a female joint so you can use a male jointed nail which stick less to the joint. http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/mothership-torus-glass-water-pipes-oil-rigs/240917559.html

As far as nails I would definitely recommend a banger from Hyman quartz. Tastes almost as good as my enail at low temps. http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/3mm-thick-quartz-banger-nail-female10mm-ground/233827551.html

The FC-Donut from Steven is also a great little rig flavour wise, but imo is a tad overpriced given the size/simplicity. Also it is less stable for enails/drop-downs. http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/2015-new-22cm-height-glass-smoking-bongs/245724530.html

It took me 2 weeks to get my CCG Dcycler, I received it before steven even shipped my 710 and they were ordered at the same time. Still waiting on a Torus, it's been a month today. I won't be placing anymore orders with steven unless he sorts out his shipping speeds, I'm looking for decent service with my product. Every other shop I've ordered from shipped a lot faster.

Edit: love my dcycler

I haven't used CCG's torus, but have dabbed from a similar incycler rig. Not the same perc as D-Cycler at all, and quite different in form and taste IMO.

Comparison in use of the EFS incycler I used to my D-cycler isn't even really that close. Exact same wax through each with different nails (EFS domeless Ti, D-Cyc diff domeless, and banger) left me very happy about my D-cylcer because it retained more flavor, and this was some very tasty CO2 extracted shit (Orange Jedi Kush or something like that). Just another reason I love Chinese glass as much as I do. D-cylcer $40 or so. Think the EFS goes (went?) for north of $500 new!

Dude look at the link in my post and then look at a D-Cycler. It's the same perc. I know typically that is not the perc on a torus, but it is on CCGs

Hey I'll believe you since you're saying so, but I still don't see it. Maybe I'm just missing something. In this vid of CCG's D-cycler it functions the same as mine. Function test starts at about 1:00 mark.

EDIT: I just watched both of these at same time about half a dozen times and think I do now get what you are saying. The perc itself, in the lower part of the can, are both the same. Right? That I do see. But, still looks to me like a different bit of function once it clears the slits.

Thanks for the pics below. Saw them just after typing edit above. :doh: My own stoned ass fault.

Sorry for adding my confusion!

The perc is the same. A cylinder with some slits.

Edit: Ya I see what you are saying, I just don't think that bubbles either being funneled up a tube or through a few tiny hole would lead to a major change in flavour. As stated initially I have not hit a Dcycler but I imagine it wouldn't be much different.

Damn! After looking at the D-Cycler I'm definitely more interested in that instead.

Does CCG generally have faster shipping time than steven??


Thanks for the recommendation on the quartz banger I'm DEFINITELY grabbing one of those! Appreciate it!

No experience with either.

I am on the fence with this one as well, please let me know what your opinion is. If you are into making videos a function video would be killer as well but I totally understand if you dont want to.

Can anyone recommend the best fab egg? It's been out for a while and I don't think anyone has come to a conclusion as far as the best quality egg.
Click to expand...

I ordered the CCG D-Cycler and CCG Fab Egg last month, shipping took about 12 days to get to So-Cal. I only dab oils and both the D-Cycler and Fab egg work fantastic.

As for oil or flower, I would't put flower through either of these, too small and hard to clean. The egg is smaller than it appears, remember it is basically just two pane glass in the shape of an egg, the hollow center takes up all that space. Both the D-Cycler and Egg share small volume characteristics making them both great for flavor retention of oil. I guess I would lean towards the D-Cycler having the better flavor, I certainly use it the most, its my new daily driver. However I think the biggest factor in flavor is getting the temperature right, they both taste amazing when I use a laser thermometer to get the temp perfect. I was gonna buy a FC-710 and maybe the new 9 inch Torus from Steve next, but I'm thinking the money might be better spent on an e-nail. As dab performance goes I think I'll be more happy and get more flavor with controlled temps than a new rig. Even if it is the super hyped FC-710.

I did a lot of research before getting my egg, it seems the two most reputable eggs are kathys and ccg's, but kathy's are ugly designs imo, the long length joint on her newest one is atrocious. I would go with CCG again if I ordered another one. The quality of the egg isnt perfect, but its really good. The joint is a little crooked and the swiss perc holes are not all perfectly spaced but those minor imperfections can be expected, its probably the hardest production glass piece to make,and its only 58 dollars.

I’ve wanted a bubbler with a detachable mouthpiece for awhile now, and finally ordered the FC-UFO last month. I thought it might replace my jhanpixel UFO, but I prefer the jhanpixel with its slimmer can, bigger mouthpiece, and fewer slits. Still very much looking forward to breaking out the FC-UFO with whip in a group though.

Anyway, my order timeline:
7/11 - ordered
7/22 - arrived with hole in weld, I contact Jane with pics, and she says they’ll send out a replacement
7/31 - replacement shipped
8/11 - replacement received



First one is on the left. That one appears to be the V2, while the replacement looks like the V1. Doesn’t bother me at all, but might be worth mentioning to Jane if anyone finds themselves in the same situation. This was my first order with Steven and also my first dhgate order with any problems. While they handled it fine, it was enough of a hassle that it’d take a really tempting piece for me to order from Steven again.

Lol, sometimes a quick search will give you everything you need to know - look at how much discussion there's been about the D-cycler.

I'd already have one but it has a damn male instead of a female joint! :rant:
Click to expand...

Yep! A ton of D-Cycler discussion here. I enjoy mine quite a bit. 14F to 18F adapter handles the 14mm male joint issue well. They can be had from China, but I really like everything I get from OregonGlassBlower. Here's his.
