As a backup and additional vape I like flame powered vapes like vapman or lotus. They are also great for camping trips because you don't need electricity, jut a butane bottle and a torch.

Have you been to Buzz Danklin's site (vaporizerwizard.com) and vape critic? I'm pretty sure Buzz has a post of best vapes under $150.

Most glassware from DHgate includes a number of attachments that would allow use with the GH and silicone tip. An 18 to 14mm reducer adapter would probably be the best bet for bare back connections, but the glass on metal may cause scratches to either surface.
I have a D020 amongst a few pieces, I would definitely recommend the D020, but I think if I were buying today, this piece would take precedence. I think the matrix perc would be nicer, I like the shape, and the seller I have linked to makes some quality pieces. I have the 12" othership torus he produces, and the finish quality is top notch. Compared to my D020 it is properly flame polished and feels premium in comparison - but I paid less than half for the D020 so YMMV if you find one from a better seller. (I got mine from "bubbler" and it is second grade for sure)
There are infinity bongs on DHgate, so the choices are cut out for you.
EDIT: After further inspection, I actually think the FC-187 takes the aesthetic cake for small bubblers.
As for vapes, the MFLB is worth having, and you could probably sell it once you get a GH. I really don't rate them that highly, but they work (and are an ideal discreet minimal smell vape). I also have an Arizer Extreme Q desktop, it's pretty good and would compliment a GH quite nicely but it must be tethered to an outlet which is a big downside. It is a fairly budget desktop however.
I can't wait to get the GH so I can vape bong freely
From what I've seen so far, waiting for my GH is the best bet for myself, but if you don't have a vape at all definitely consider getting one - but the cheapest ones are probably not worth the worry IMO

d020?
fc-201?
fc torus?
fc-187?

If the rear button is pushed in (Hopper on), then it makes turning the dial somewhat tougher. Otherwise, I don't notice anything.

The D020 is a great start, and will buy you plenty of time reading the cheap glass thread to pick your next glass tool.

Sorry to go off topic...but how are these all so cheap???

Chinese mass manufactured glass. The funny thing is, those aren't even the cheap ones. $50-60 like the ones linked are the more expensive glass on the site.
Interesting to see all of these leather cases! I was lucky enough to already have a leather case from a tamper I bought 3 or 4 years ago. It is a nice dark brown with white threading all around it. It is small, so it isn't like the $50 leather case (small purse?) that has been previously posted. It also doesn't cover the pen clip.
I have a Pelican 1150 case on the way for my vapes in transport, and never really planned on using a leather sleeve anyway. It's just funny that I have one. Here is an album if you're curious what it looks like: http://imgur.com/a/MHywq
slcbdco has converted me. I have gotten 6 fully extracted bowls per battery since only doing 1 or two pinches. I get the same amount of clouds (slightly less dense) but more flavorful and 3 hits usually kills it. So, holy cow, the Grasshopper continues to blow me away. And yes, I am not kidding when I say 6 bowls. Again, it's only a pinch (sometimes a tiny bit more than a pinch). Not even half chamber. It helps reduce draw resistance, which can be tough to breathe in from if there's too much in there. But, damn. I feel like I've gotten higher using less product as well, which is a large plus in itself.
If you haven't tried it yet, I do highly recommend at least giving it a few tries.
Also, a long time ago someone asked how vaping a nug without it being ground. I did it for that user, so...
It worked okay. Obviously, I would recommend grinding over nug. The nugs shrunk quite a bit, and vapor production wasn't a ton, but it tasted nice.

Its official, very little of this line up.
I'm almost certain somewhere in the PRC that there's a bunch of children slaving away with a torch and kiln making us goodies for pennies an hour. Fucking China dude, the logistics alone make 0 sense. I ran an eBay store for a few years, bet your ass I can't/couldn't ship anything the size of a decent bubbler for the total COST of their bubblers hand made and shipped (at least something like a d020 ~$25 shipped). My dhgate experiences have been great though, a Möbius clone is in my future I do believe.

Yeah Chris from vaporizerwizard (works with @BuzzDanklin) mentioned that using an unground nug works and I've also had success with that, I still think even a finger grind is worth the effort although I just posted on the mivape thread that I have the best results with a mivape when I just pinch off a tiny nug from a flower and throw it in the cup unground.
Just goes to show each vape is different to achieve the optimal usage. Welcome to the Grasshopper pinch club. I have also notice better battery life having gone back to a pinch, so glad to be back!
I've found that I'm accidentally using the pen clip to push my thumb against while turning the temp dial. I only noticed because the back end has now started coming apart. I've snapped it back into place but it's a noticeably weaker connection now.
Careful folks! :-)

Could you explain that a little further?
Which part of the back end became loose?

Something I'm thinking about at the moment while using my grasshopper watching TV in a room with dimmed light:
I use my grasshopper by stepping up from 2,8 in the beginning and going up to 4,2. Then sometimes another draw through water on 5.
In a room with pretty dark dimmed light, it's difficult to find the right position of the temperature dial.
Maybe some after glow ink on the dial scale would help.

@Mr. Niceguy Could you clarify, what is 2,8 and 4,2?
Is that setting and number of draws?
@AgentXero sorry, just realized I hadn't responded to you.
I fill the chamber by gently pushing the GH into a small jar of ground material.
I'd say I get around 7 draws on average.
I usually start at 3, move up to 4 on the fourth draw, up to 5 on the sixth. There are times I could get another draw or two out as well.
I haven't used any of my other flower vapes since using the GH(other than the short replacement time up front). Not that I don't love my Crafty, my Firefly, my Solo, etc, I'm just not reaching for them.

Thank you, I will be careful now.
It's the temperature setting. 2,8 means a little bit under 3 and 4,2 a little bit over 4.

I've also been here. It can be a little scary in public, because you might take a dank rip on accident if you go too high (say you took a hit on 1.4 and then go up to 3.2... 3.2 is gonna smeeeeell!). When I used it in a theater I used bright scenes to get the temperature I wanted. Otherwise, cell phone lights are what I've used. It's a little troublesome at times, but never that big an issue.

A little bit of glow in the dark ink in the notches would be killer!
