No idea just yet, but they would not be china cheap for sure. All American made probably run somewhere around $75 at a guess.
Hell yea, def interested. I've done plenty of digging and I don't put any credence in the whole brass on juice BS. Unless it's antique brass, lead is no longer used in the smelting process. I'll take one of each size, as long as the tube is not plastic.

Interested: yep, definitely.
... keep the above in mind before reading the next ...
Getting ridiculously specific: I'd be especially interested if we could get a tall one (LavaGen atomizer length tank) designed for a brass tank shield with wide open viewports (like Doc Dave's Bliss or Steam Turbine). As in I'd go $125+ including the tank shield. Idea being the end caps slightly wider ... 19mm tank, caps that fit the 19mm tank but have a flange that sticks out to 22mm, shield is held in place between.
(however, I realize most pipes don't want something THAT thick, that's just what I'm currently brainstorming for 3D printing and I'm not convinced the 3D printing process will seal well enough for the caps)

It's still in the "what if we did this" phase so I'll run some ideas past the machinist to see what is feasible.
FYI, glass and polycarbonate don't run in the same stock sizes (to my knowledge). This means a LavaGen compatible tank may not be doable. Brass tubing may be an option for a sleeve though, it just depends on the ID/OD and tolerances of the glass.
I'm currently testing brass (plated I'm sure) on my CIY block:
I stole the brass carto from the 618 pipe I had sitting in the drawer. That's a 19mm tank so for the larger pipes I think the 19mm + shield will look just fine, but it would be quite big for the smaller pipes. Only good use I got out of the 618
(edit: hard to see small photo from old webcam is fail, but the brass + the brass button from ePipeMods is a win-win)

Understood ... and no worries, I know it can be a pain. If not LavaGen compatible I can always the one I build out for the LavaGen for home use and pop on the brass tank for travels
I'm planning on this thing following me around while I sit in convention booths for my wife's shows (sci-fi/steampunk/comic cons primarily). I may need to invest in a micro-sized LowJack though.
Put a Raven in tank atomizer in a UDCT tank for one of my pipes, working a treat. Great flavor and vapor, similar to what you get out of a dripping atomizer.
Upcoming pipes
Holy crap!!!! I think I need to change my panties!
Is that an EBONY Gandalf?!?! Are my dreams coming true?!
I believe there is African black wood, Wenge, and zircote Gandalf's in darker woods this batch.
Oh wow, I thought you said something about thin release this week. Is that the Calabash off in the background?
It will be a thin release. Only the shankless rack will be ready for Friday. The rest will be next week.
Yea, me too. If only dibs worked, but this isn't a list. Do any of those black Gandalfs not have a finger rest, like the originals?
