My in-law is a hand blown glass artist and he can do pretty much anything with his hands in his shop.
I am thinking of designing an order for him. I first thought of a trumpet design with every key being a different flavor. I guess playing flavors with a trumpet can be as cool as playing music! POW !
Any other cool idea using hand blown glass is more than welcome. I am not sure the trumpet style e-cig is feasable. If it is though, I don't think it would be used as a PV... Hey ! Try this all!

0.0! Please tell me this is a joke!?! $1,000,000.00 Drip Tips?.... If a picture is worth 1000 words then the pics of these drip tips are worth $1000 per word!

From what I can see, that's not a joke. Those $100k and million dollar tips were special orders. Meaning, someone wanted that specific tip, and presumably paid that much for it. A million dollars. For half an inch of hand-blown and coloured glass.

One.

Million.

Freaking.

Dollars.

Wow... Just WOW. I never thought I would see the day... For that price it better have been coloured by 100% authentic Unicorn Horn, Dragon Scale, Chupacabra Tooth & Sasquatch fur, and have been forged in the depths of Mt. Doom by Sauron himself.

No. Those prices are just so people can't buy them, they are for the beta testers. The actual tips are about $20-$25. There will be some available next week.

From their main page, though:

Tips priced at $100,000 are custom orders that were placed before the existence of TrippyTips.com. We no longer are accepting custom orders.

I mean, I'm just assuming here based on the implication one would naturally draw from the above statement that the custom orders were priced at $100,000 (and, also presumably, a million) for the one who commissioned it and could be wrong, but that's just what that statement suggests. I mean, if they were doing beta runs, why wouldn't they just disable the buy button on those items or something?

No those prices are not for real. I mean, seriously what kind of nut would actually try buying a drip tip for that kind of money??? It is a strange way of saying "not for sale" I will agree.

Still, a glass artist could do some neat things with drip tips and this is the only website I know of to make funky colored tips other than just plain clear or blue ones.

Well, I'll accept that it's a stand-in for "you can't buy this yet", if a rather unorthodox one (and I mean, why two different values?).

Can't say it didn't shock the hell out of me though.

I'm assuming that the beta team has a discount code or something that brings the price to normal range. That way, he can sell them to them on the site, but us normal folk can't touch them. lol


They're for sale, just not to us. :)
