My current bong has an 18mm opening and the down stem is 14mm. Is it easy to get an 18-18 down stem, and if I buy a 14mm bong can I get a stem to take it up to 18?

First you should determine the length you need for the downstem starting to measure downward from the bottom of the ground glass joint. But I just received a 5pck of downstems off dhgate for $12 and they aren't the best quality but for the that price now I have a couple back ups. The 14mm downstem with built in 18mm adapter is hard to come by and you probably won't find one on dhgate but an 18/18mm or 18/14mm with a 14/18mm adapter should work fine. There are also probably more styles of diffusion to be found on dhgate with the 18/14mm downstem.

Yingmin5's (GB-187-1) arrived in 9 days from the time I ordered it to first hit!! for $38...WOW!

First thing I noticed is that I ordered the no logo piece and I got the logo. Not my preference but not a big deal, at least it's straight! Other than that it's pretty much perfect! The perc fires evenly and has very even sized holes. Joints look decent and the mouth piece and perc are straight.
The only thing that is a slight concern is that the 18mm GonG is a bit deep and some 14/18mm adapters don't work in this unit.That's true with most of these can type Chinese pieces and isn't a big deal. I found putting a 18/14 straight downstem works great as an adapter. I would DEFINITELY buy this piece again.

Yeah, I need this! it's around $30 from OGB right? I used to buy all of my old down stems off of iOffer from him, nice stuff. Got a FC-710 coming too. I may get addicted to this cheap glass if I keep getting lucky with good ones!

So what should I reply to Jane with regarding the HT? She wrote:

"I only see it is different with the joint deep,could you tell me orignial version'size,so that I can produce it according to your size"

What should I reply with? I'm at a loss...

A picture of the EVO with measurements. (Probably a bad idea).
Perhaps the measurement from the BASE of the EVO joint to the top of the vape. Then add some for variations in manufacturing tolerances.

"Flush with the bottom" being the vital part. I was thinking, if you had an existing hydrotube you could put a metal rule across the bottom then measure from the edge to the top of the joint to give her a precise depth. (Hope that makes sense)

I received my hydra tube and my GonG's for my solo fit amazingly well, however, all of the water in the top portion leaks down into the bottom section of the hydra tube, even when it's just sitting on its stand. To the point that it doesn't even have enough water to perc properly. If I add any more water, the bottom section will overflow and leak down into my Solo. There's also a ton of tiny bubbles in the joints and two tiny cracks, both inside at the perc joint.

Kind of disappointed with this piece, not sure if this was ever filled with water to test judging by the film on the glass when I received it. I'll message Steve and see what he'll do.

could you tell me how many length that I should reduce?

Something tells my Jane doesn't understand what "flush" means.

Since I don't have a metric ruler, guess I'll have to guess the MM.

Frankly, all her questions on exact sizing are making me want to just say to hell with it & just be done with them as a seller. Like they're going to actually correct anything.

Could you just send her a picture of the Evolver HydraCirc as an example? Thanks for trying

I managed to trip on nothing and fell and broke my bubbler. I have a do20 but I preferred the one that broke. I think I've narrowed down my choice to either the V2 FC-UFO or the WP-010. If you've used one of these I'd appreciate input. My concern about the FC-UFO is that it's comes from Steve.

And is that whip silicone by chance? Like a good inert material, or just stinky trash?

Now I'm thinking about UFO to try a showerhead circ instead of doubling em in the FC Mod, less money only one big can, and I guess both can be used with a hydratube as a mouthpiece like I want... Though the UFO has a male mouthpiece so it can't be used dry with Evo like the Mod mouthpiece can...

@Shit Snacks how do you like that tall hydrotube? How's the quality of yours?

I like my UFO more then my FC-mod. I like how solid the UFO holds everything and it's a very smooth hit.

Hmmm that's a good report, thanks man. If I can save $10 and still be versatile with the UFO that'd be great, even more so if the silicone whip is actually nice....

I didn't buy that recycler tube you got, saw Veg posted one in the Zion thread today though. Probably too tall for me I think, I like the Evolver HydraTree I have, but know it would go great with a Circ perc under it! Need to try one

Oh, yep Veg...sorry.

Note that mine is the UFO v1, but even with the shorter can, I never get water into the mouthpiece joint. Which is my biggest problem with the FC mod. It requires accurate filling or you will get water at, and over the joint. I understand why you might want a male joint at the mouthpiece (hydrotubes and such) but plumbing wise that's really a backwards joint, which as a builder just erks me.

I added my own whip, so I knew where the silicone came from and got an attachment from oregonglassblower and it works great. (Incidentally I'm making whip mouthpieces in the shop this weekend). If I was choosing, I would take the ufo2 and just buy new hose. It's always handy to have ten feet of medical quality tubing around.

Yeah male joint is easier for tubes, but I have 18-18 male to male anyway, so I can attach my HydraTree regardless I guess. Downside is just the MOD gives me a dry Evo mouthpiece and the UFO gives me a dry Zion mouthpiece (which I already have a smaller bent stem for).

So wheres a good place for cheap inert tubing then? Definitely don't need 10 feet (!) though, more like 3 or 4... Thanks man!
