Art Glass Drip Tips

[Vintagecharm]

I didn't know and looked it up on a wiki
The Health system is strange hear, we have Medicare which covers some of the cost about 60% but there are a number of drugs and other items which are not covered at all by Medicare. Cancer drugs is one. i THINK but will know more later.
I also have Private health insurance luckily but that entities you to your Doctor of choice, less waiting to be seen and part of their bills paid to a certain limit. What that actually means in English i will have to wait and see.


Thank you Reidus

Good Day TrippyTipsKinz

Sorry I've been MIA lately - I haven't been able to stop thinking of our TrippyKin Vintage (all goodness bless her as we speak). I think it's already Monday in Australia and she is at her appointment.

I think many of you may have felt like I did and wished there was more you could do to help -- to that end I found a fundraising website (YouCaring.com) that does not charge a donation fee (usually between 5 to 10 percent of the donation amount). It does however list the donation processing fee as "optional" and you can select a lower amount or zero.

For those of you who can help please visit her page by clicking below:

The VintageCharm Fund

Hugs & Blessings all around

What an awesome thing to do sweet D

It was Blu's fault...... I rarely drink

Thank you Killjoy.......I'm interested

You also hardly vape right?

Afternoon Tipsters, I can't thank you enough for setting up the Donation page. This will really help with the treatment costs.
This afternoon I go to the specialist so I can give you more information then.
One of the tablets I am on now has slowed me right down andI am makin terrible mistakes tyin a sentence, so please excuse any mistakes.

Thanks for the update darlin keeping the faith

Cool orb Bert !!! I don't know if you caught this yesterday. Amber chimed in, I'd like your thoughts as well~

Bert I (we) need your expertise. I don't how much you have followed about the pyrex/ss wick. They are inserting ss into a pyrex tube then wrapping the coil around the glass.

A flameworker came on and said don't use pyrex, use fused quartz. He said pyrex will shatter from thermal shock. The question I have as some of us have pyrex coming, do you think it is a concern and if so, will annealing fix that or lessen the chance.... and your thoughts on fused quartz.

Cool orb Bert !!! I don't know if you caught this yesterday. Amber chimed in, I'd like your thoughts as well~

My opinion is DIY Glass Tubes = Bad because:

1) The glass will be unpolished which means that there will be micro-cracks that can cause shattering and further cracking which could lead to glass in the lungs.
2) The glass will not be annealed so it will be susceptible to thermal shock
3) Quartz is overpriced and unnecessary for this purpose. It is also more brittle than borosilicate which could lead to cracking/chipping with normal use and thus glass in the lungs.
4) Cutting glass is hazardous. I can't tell you how many times I have gouged my thumbs and I have even seen people (yes, more than one) pass out from loss of blood after doing the same with the score/cut method. I have also seen a few people go to the hospital for stitches. It takes practice, and why do it yourself when I am here offering to do it for you?

Pyrex is a brand name of borosilicate glass. I currently have a borosilicate teapot, which I use on the stove without problems. Chemists all over the world use borosilicate glass for boiling water and other chemicals. It should be able to withstand the heat.

Kami has ordered and will be sending me a whole bunch of borosilicate glass for this wick application. I will be cutting it all, polishing it all, and annealing it all free of charge for her. There will be WAY more glass here than any one person could use, so I assume she wants to share...Kami?

If that's the case I will be sending them out "Buddy Tip Style" for free on TrippyTips.com after sending Kami back however much she wants. I think this is a really cool project. In fact, this project is what caused me to join ECF way back when, and I am still willing to contribute my effort/skill to it, but I want to see it done right.

Night, Pietro, sleep well!

 

[bert1983]

Good night Pietro! I am off to bed as well. I hope I helped a little Wharf, Have a great night everyone!

 

[katann23]

Night Bert! Thanks for the orb pics tonight, they made me happy!

 

[katann23]

Ok De, you have to tell me, was it a good episode of Walking Dead tonight? I am so ready to get caught up, waiting on the hubby to go to bed since he's even more behind than me.

That's what's so great about The Walking Dead -- every episode is fantastic! There are some series that have episodes that seem like filler or like they're stretching out the material for too long, but that is never the case with The Walking Dead -- every episode leaves me excited about the next!

 

[katann23]

It is definitely one of my favorite shows!

I think I may have just gotten sucked into a documentary on Netlflix, so we'll see if I get to Walking Dead tonight! It's called Degenerate Art: the art and culture of glass pipes. It's kind of fascinating.

Mine too

I like Boardwalk Empire too -- even though it drags sometimes I love period pieces

Enjoy the documentary - it sounds very interesting

Where is Star? Anyone have her number so we can check on her?

Good morning Trippy Nation

Mornin tripsters, hope y'all are having a great day!
Katann, that memorial is lovely.
I wish y'all had mentioned the Vamo yesterday! It looks less complicated than the Zmax, what with the +/- buttons to change the settings and simply holding the + button down to check resistance and the - button to check battery life. juice ..... has them as well as Vapor Alley. And they have them in colors! I'm actually considering getting one for Tara for Christmas.
Speaking of Tara and Christmas, for those of you who are interested in the Kindle Fire, Amazon has it on sale today for $129, as supposed to regular price of $159.

 

[katann23]

Good morning Pietro and Reidus! I haven't actually been to bed yet, which I should probably do as I have class tonite. I've tried three times without success. Sometimes my brain just won't shut down.

I do not have Star's number. I hope someone hears from her soon. Haven't seen Maleko in a long time, either...

Morning Katann. I'm having similar problems. Not going to sleep; rather staying asleep. I can't seem to manage more than about 5 hours at a stretch. I'm considering talking to my doctor about sleeping pills, that's how bad it's getting.

 

[pmoraldo]

Sorry you guys are having trouble sleeping I never have a problem and rarely wake up in the middle of the night except to use the bathroom.

Maleko I think just got burned out. He came in to ecigs and bought every top of the line mods and tips in a super short time frame. But Star is usually here EVERY night I'm not sure that I've even seen her miss 1 much less than a week I just hope she's okay
