i've been away for some time, looking for a new dab rig in the $35 dollar range. i see the fc-710/xy-17 is around that price right now. think that is going to be the best piece in that price range? would love to hear some suggestions, it'll be for dabbing only.

Oh lawd... really?



Right now I want to reply "How about this: I'll smash it with a hammer and send pics."

If I make a detailed drawing the next request will be to blow my own piece and show them.
Tell her to copy the PWT clone's joint structure. They know about those over there right?!! The clone them ovet there!!!Just tell her 18mm instead of 14mm.


Edit: I'm not at home to look if my PWT's joint is flush.

I have the ufo v1 and i thoroughly enjoy it..would love to have the v2 as i hear it is much improved..so i would go with it plus it has option with the mp..you can switch out mp or use a whip( which i like for visual feedback)
Another question about the ufo or any other bubbler- does it have an easy draw? My current bubblers- including the DO20 seem to take a lot of lung power and makes my CHF worse.

To me the ufo is a wide open type draw..nice big can..no restriction to me..i do prefer the ufo over the fc mod but both are nice functional pieces but im thinking about goving the ufo v2 a chance..

any thoughts on the mobius sidecar matrix from Steven? I am finally moving to a legal state (yay!!) and wanted to treat myself to something new that wouldn't break the bank.

It seems to have the unusually straight taper 18mm joint that has shown up on his hydratubes but I dont think it would be a problem for my uses. DHgate reviews seem good but it also seems like people here have been reporting qc issues with Steven lately.

Any thoughts/recommendations? I really like that Steven's piece has a mouthpiece like an actual mobius, as opposed to the usual china cone

You might look at yingmin5's GB-187-s. Slightly better quality IMO. I broke mine and replaced it with Stevens version. I liked Yingmin5's better. The first one from steven arrived with a crack and was replaced by Steven. I still have that one as backup..

Oh yeah? I'm in the boat of trying to decide between the two right now myself.

Looks like they can get me the FC-Mod without the ashcatch and second perc for less money, so I can just have a showerhead in the main can and the mouthpiece, perfect for Evo dry and stacking with my Evolver HydraTree.

However another member offered a UFO v2 and the prices come out fairly similar between the two... I was thinking the Mod might be better since I already have a GB-187 with the bigger can, and bc the smaller can in the Mod might do better than stacking with the UFO?

Anyone compared the two with a hydratube (specifically a tree perc?) aside from can size, there's also the difference in the Circ size, any opinions on that aspect?

Captain buzzkill here to kill your day ! they hydratube sits to close to the can to get the eve on without feeling like you shoving to near glass breaking. you'd need a drop down or adapter to raise to use the evo without the MOD ash catcher in my experience.

Yes, I'm willing to gamble before getting a classien, this is all an investment to use with Zion/Hopper/HI too some day very soon...

Why I'm also considering picking this up while its on sale: http://7thfloorvapes.com/index.php/seventhfloorvapes/glycerine-cooler-ash-catcher.html it also may be a tricky fit without on certain pieces without adapters but seems pretty versatile of a shape, for using it with Evo though I may need a whip since its so cold and Evo so hot... (for that id go amazon and this https://www.greenbuddhashop.com/CLEAR-GLASS-CURVE-VAPORIZER-WHIP-ADAPTER-VGA.html) Probably amazing with a GH though

have you had any experience with the seller Hjwufei? i’m close to pulling the trigger since it's nearly half the price of Yingmin5's and looks pretty much identical besides the arm being on the opposite side.

Hey guys wondering if you can help me out picking a piece out for my Evo from DHgate . I already own the Turbine HT and the D020 , just want something different that would allow me to take larger hits without losing to much flavour. I found this piece the FC 186 -: http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/advance-booking-2015-new-high-quality-glass/218127444.html
Seems perfect but I was told that but the contours in the piece will create a wedge between the EVO and the water , which would require an additional adapter .

Is there any pieces similar on DHgate that suit my needs , would really appreciate the advice.

Adapters and contours aside, If I'm not mistaken, wouldn't a stereo strip a lot of flavor?

Again I really don't know anything about glass or diffusion - I just liked the size and the mouthpiece on the glass . Do appreciate the advice though, don't mean to sound like a dick.

Got my Hydratube from Steven (FC-mouthpiece). Seems I kinda lucked out in that there's no water leaking between chambers, however there's a small crack above a slit in the perc. As long as it doesn't worsen, I guess I can deal with the air bubbles in the weld and slightly crooked stem. Sits on an 18/14 reducer on top of my Herbalizer just fine, but had to try a couple adapters for a decent seal. Hits pretty well, but you can take a lil drink if you're overeager.

It won't replace my trusty GBD assassin HT for its ease of use and cleaning, but fun to have an alternative for friends. I'd wait until another seller other than Steven is making hydratubes, or he's got better QC. I knew what I might be in for, but I was jonesin' to have a 2nd HT around before flu season!

Does anyone sell the UFO besides Stephen?

This was shared with me earlier, its got the v1 lower mouthpiece joint though, also perc sits lower it seems and the female joints appear more flush (maybe this seller should be making the hydratubes! They all should really)
http://m.dhgate.com/product/product...collector-glass/254772709.html/254772709.html

I opted to go with the FC-Mod can for now, with the showerhead perc, no ash catch. Hopefully it will work with my HydraTree and would be great if I didn't need to buy any adapters... Will report on results whenever it arrives.

yeah, Yingmin5's GB-187 is very low draw. Quality better than Steven's IMHO. Try it out.

I bought the original FC-187 because Yingmin5's was taking too long and I wanted it. I ended up getting a broken one and then an iffy one as a replacement. If I were ordering it now I would definitely get the GB over the FC.
That being said, if I were ordering the UFO I would get it from Steven rather than an unknown vendor...

Good to know there is an alternative. My UFO from Steven wasn't perfect either. Does this vendor use the heavy glass that Steven uses too? I can't help but wonder if Steven sold off his V.1 stock when he started making V.2...
