Thanks Baditude, it could be cheaper glass or it could simply be happenstance. One thing about our tanks that is different than any other that I know of is that little washer I had custom made to go under the cap so the cap never touches the glass, it cant. Like the story I related above a metal object on glass with the right tap and you know what you get.
I wont say my glass is any better than anyone elses because we all have the same sources to buy from. What you do with the glass when you work it and the state you leave it in when it meets your idea of QC will all be as important as the quality of glass you start with.
We have also taken into consideration the eventual demise of these tubes because they are after all glass and set our pricing to make it as painless as possible to replace it if you do end up needing to. Low prices and high quality is all part of my OCD, its just a thing that has lead me throughout my life and I have never minded working hard for what I consider a fair wage. I raised three Beautiful Daughters doing things most people would never dream of and never regretted a moment of it, making things for IBTanked is like a dream job for me so I am thrilled to be able to do it. Keep watching us for even better pricing and keep expecting even higher quality as we go on, prices went down on all of our endcaps today if you hadnt noticed. Not much, just $1.50 a pair but it is one more small step in that direction of making this stuff as accessible to anyone as we possibly can.
