He said to order more drip tips once available. It really does have to be a lot of work for one person . It's not like making juice or modded Pv's where you can give someone directions and have them help .

HECK YEAH! My Buddy has a Dad who blows glass for a living up in Oregon and makes these wicked Christmas Ornaments that he'll spend countless hours on. He say's it's so easy a 5 year old can do it:glare: I guess it just comes natural to some people?

I still to this day give a great deal of respect to glass blowers that are truly skilled! I like watching them live! Such a cool thing to see in person. It's such a raw talent and you have to be skilled/ well rounded in so many different ways.

Good things come to people that wait ;) In my eyes Bert did a super thing by having the Beta program he did, simply because he asked the community what they wanted and we told him. So he is making all of those Tips one at a time and taking care of that Beta list of people and giving them the opportunity to purchase first which was very nice of him to do. Once that is complete he will then have his Grand opening and when that happens then the masses of vapors will have the best and coolest tips available. Sounds like a plan and a good one at that to me. I doubt he will give any of his trade secrets away either that may not be in his best interest as well that's why glass blowers are few and far in between these days possibly.

Hey Bert,

I'm a glassblower myself, and just got into vaping. Im curious what mil tubing you use to fit the 510 Atty. Id like to make myself a drip tip.

Thanks

Curganelli,

How long have you been at it ? do you have a portfolio of art work we could see, I love looking at this stuff and different artist works, would love to see some of the stuff you have made do you have a link to view any of it ?

I've been using my drip tips for about three weeks now and I couldn't be more pleased.

The Double Amber Purple Honeycomb is really intended for use with the Boge 306 cartomizer but I removed the bottom o ring and replaced it with a thicker one (no idea what size the o ring is, I took it off an old 510 drip tip) and now it fits perfectly on an 306 to 510 Drip Tip Adapter.

The white glow in the dark one only glows a little, but it would be enough to guide you to where your mod is, if need be. I can't wait to get a couple more styles and colours when they become available.

It's been 2 months since Bert told me he'd be making mine, but it hasn't happened yet.

Rosco, the Beta program takes preference Bert isn't making tips for people until all of the Beta program ends then he has his Grand opening, that's the program !

I know..I'm a Beta "waiter."
Been on the list for some time now.

I thought you where on it, sorry, Great art work just takes time, I'm sure Bert is gearing up best he can, believe me I have been waiting on some for double what you have, but its all gonna be worth the wait Rosco these things are a work of art and beautiful. Last Bert posted I believe he was waiting on some new equipment to come in to speed up his manufacturing process so hopefully that takes place soon.

Hey MWA,

Do you do any scientific work?

Hey Bert,

Your Drip tips are awesome man! I'm going this week to get some tubing and was wondering what mil tubing you use for the 510. Im currently using a ego-t and dont have a 510 to size with yet but i have a few atomizers coming this week. Ive never worked for a scientific company, but ive done lots of lathe work and .... seals, etc. all the same techniques. Ive mainly been a piper, jewlery, marble, and goblet maker. I saw that pic of you and RAM (mickelsen) on your FB. Hes a great guy, i took a class with him in Hawaii in 2003. his Graal work is awesome.
