Evening guys. I'm getting in new decals so hopefully this weekend I'll make some new tubes. Been busy making plain Kraken and Wand tubes.

Oh it's always good to see new tubes
I'm making head way on the clean up at work which is helping. Had a chance to go snuggle with Nellie (youngest granddaughter) tonight and will have my little Ella overnight this weekend. Her brother Jack will be with his dad, but when we take her home Sunday I'll get my hugs from his as well.

Kathy, I see you have added the Kraken tubes and the SNP (salt & Pepper) tubes to your site....Awesome!!!!
Going to check it out now
Tammy, she doesn't have pretties up yet tho....think she said something about making some of those this weekend.
Well..you all know I love my pretties so better give her a chance to glitter them up
Yup their up and mine will be a little taller. I also received one batch of my new decals today. I'm still waiting for more to come.
I've also added the 360* by Gille (another awesome atty) and the Wand besides the salt and Pepper. I'm trying to keep up with the plain tubes first and get a good supply made before I start decorating them. So give me a week before the S/P's are ready.

Well... I think I can wait a week or so for the most beautiful SNP tubes out there Kathy seriously there are so many options and you are staying on top of them all. That my friend is awesome....

Here is a rough draft I just sent to a customer. I'm going to re write it for my website but thought it would be nice to also post here.
Maybe you guys would like to add to it if you can think of anything else.
1. If the tube can pass the metal deck it will fit your device.
2. If the tube will fit past the deck and won't fit pass the oring (stock or not) without being pushing down so hard you have to strain ITS THE ORING.....
3. All stock orings will SWELL after they've sat in juice and then taken out of the glass tube and exposed to the air. In some devices especially when your stock tube is slightly tight to begin with, chances are there's just enough swelling in that stock oring you'll just need to replaced it with a new one. The reasons why modders sell extra orings with every mod. It's also a lot cheaper to replace an oring instead of a glass tube.
4. Oring, oring, oring............ Everyone should have tons of ORINGS....
5. Yes you should lube your tube, BUT more importantly you also need to take your time. Most accidents and breakage can be prevent just by slowing down.
It's like we get that nicotine withdraw feeling and try to rush thru to fast so we can get our nic fix. Everyone knows what I'm talking about.
6. Push down straight.... Screw down slowly.. If your tube becomes crooked while pushing down. STOP.... Your about to brake your glass tube. Don't panic....
Go slow and don't jam your tube straight. Slowly and gently wiggly slightly. This will take patients and practice. You need to get a feel for your glass and it's strength and weakness. Don't ever think your not going to brake your tube and you can push harder. You will brake your glass.
7. Place your fingernail in between the metal and glass rim so once your tube pushes down into place it hits your nail instead of hitting hard on the metal rim.
8. Orings, orings, orings, stock orings..........

Kathy in point 6..change gam to jam. Looks good...I have broke many beautiful tubes in my days and you are so right..I'm in a hurry or stressed out..not a time to put on a glass tube. I have tipped over my mods on multiple occasions without any breakage (now I've actually dropped a couple..not so good) Patience and not forcing the issue...Perhaps I should print and frame this information
Great write-up Kathy, Ms. Bedazzled.
A couple of mine just happened to meet concrete recently.
It will be fun to seem some new decals and maybe even some wallpaper?

Like to add just 1.
Never have just one mod and always have a back-up before changing glass.
Just had a thought: 2 years, 4 months and 1 week without a smoke.
And, now I can't stand to be around a smoker. Wow, how times have changed for lots of us.

Hi Bukket, I am in love with the multi color stone tubes. The fairy tube I fell in love with had a copper fairy on it surrounded by a beautiful copper background. I think those are the fairies I pointed Kathy to when she first started selling tubes here. I think it was a dual or x-large. Stunning!!!!Cat, I've been stalking the website and have a bunch of gorgeous new tubes! I've only got a couple of the electro formed ones setup so far but they are so beautiful. I'm so far behind on pics but I'll try to get a couple done this weekend. I have one fairy that I know you'll love. She has pink and blue stones and is in a pink and blue tank.
I really like the tube posted above with the multi-colored stones. It would be perfect on 2 of my Uniques (hint, hint)
Kathy..if you have any of those copper fairies left, I sure would love to place a special order.
Off to work...have a great weekend all of you who don't have to work.
Hey everyone. Time to turn on the heat, at least around here. Babysitting the kidos today.
