Glassblower trying to save people headaches....

[bert1983]

Thanks for all the responses! I have been very busy lately because I am amidst moving halfway across the U.S. I will be working in my shop today, so I will see what I can come up with as far as a drip-tip and get back to everyone with some pictures tonight. I'm glad to see there is such an interest.

Thanks for posting this Bert, I probably would not have been aware of the glass tip thread if you hadn't.

Sounds very interesting, please make 3 more comment posts so that you can do PM! (I sent you a "visitor message" but not sure how that works exactly.)

I got your visitor message. After I post the pictures tonight I will shoot you a PM.

awsome! please send me a PM when get the prototype created... i will most certainly be wanting a couple of hand blown drip tips... would REALLY like to see a "side car" bubbler too... just a thought.


Thanks,

Well, this certainly sounds interesting... Of course, I think I'm a bit too hard on most of my toys to make glass feasible, but it still would be cool

Here are the first ones... I am very happy with them. I tried them out and the draw gives you about 3 times the vapor of a regular cartridge. They fit just right too.

The glass I used is pyrex and is designed to be able to withstand repeated heating, chemical wear and tear, and physical abuse. I use a process called annealing which relieves the glass of any stress greatly reducing the probability of breakage if they are dropped. They are very easily cleaned as well.

The rings that are blown out should catch any stray juice, and on the 2 solid blue ones there is a flattened mouthpiece. The other one has color changing glass with a honeycomb design. Check out the pictures below...

Actually I need to have 15 posts to post pictures. If someone can post them for me here are the urls...

I want one.... Though im a bit concerned about how you have it coming down covering the atty... this will prolly greatly help displace the heat coming from the atty, but my concern is wether or not id be able to fit it onto my GLV 2 5v mod. and/or my eGo


i cant wait to see you continue developing and progressing this concept... way to go bert.. and please please keep at it.

Bert.. if you would be interested in a custom blown chess set... please feel free to PM.. ive had this idea going on 10 years and want to see it actualized some day.

I love chess and this is something I have been wanting to make for a while too! I have made solid chess sets, and I think the possibilities would be endless for a blown glass chess set. I have the ability to PM now, so let me know what you had in mind and I will get to work on it.
