I also make lamps and sconces for bars and restaurants. Also beer tap handles, although I can't find any pics.

That's only ~ 1/3 of the pics of my work. As you can see I like to make challenging things. I'd die of boredom making tips.

Damn dude. I grew up in Laguna Beach, then travelled as a Deadhead so I have seen a ton of blown glass in my life. This is top, top notch stuff. I may have to commission something soon

Not bad! Packing for a long weekend in Sydney. Going to see South Pacific. Lived in this country for 10 years and have never been to anything at the Opera House. Lots of pigging out and shopping in the cards too.

Glad you like the juices. Send me more detailed feedback if you like. If you want more you can pay for it with one of those glass octopi. That is AWESOME. :) Although 3k worth of juice is a lot.

Have fun on your vaca! I don't know if I'd be ok trading one of those octopi for juice. :lol: But if you'd like a glass piece let me know and we can work something out. And don't worry about price. I sell to friends for 50% of wholesale. Plus you get to pick the colors and all the details.
I'd love to give you a detailed review of your NETs, but I'm freaking horrible with reviews, especially with things as abstract as taste. But they are all incredibly delicious! I like the one in the 30ml with morning coffee. They go absolutely perfect together. :)

Again, thank you SO much for doing that for us. That's incredibly kind of you. I'd give you a hug, but it's difficult over the internets, plus I don't know if you'd think that to be weird. lol Aw, hell: *hug*

If any of y'all are ever in Houston, you're more than welcome to come to my studio and check out the process. I teach, too. From beginner to advanced++. I have all the stuff to teach, too, so you don't need anything except a ready mind. And I guarantee you'll take something you made home.

Or if I'm not blowing glass because of the heat we can go shoot some isht.

Damn, if only I could. Blowing glass then blowing crap up. Sounds like a vacation to me!!!

I'm toying with the idea of making an 18650 battery glass tube mod with a DNA20 but the logistics are very complicated. I'm pretty sure I can do it, just need to find time. I think I need to set aside ~10 hours to do it right. That includes having to remake it a couple/few times.

Put Uncle BJ on the list RIGHT FREAKING NOW. I am not fooling clown.

Thanks a lot! Hearing compliments means more than anyone could imagine; I'm my very own worst critic. Laguna Beach has some great talent. I was there just last year blowing glass with some locals.

I'm not working glass at the moment, it's just too damn hot here right now. If I can catch up on my backlog with gunsmithing I should be firing up the torch and kiln this winter though. I'll let you know when I do, though. What do you have in mind? Pm me if it's of a private nature.

Offer's open any time.

As of now it's just an idea. It's WAY easier said than done and it'll take quite a few attempts to get to the point I'm ok with getting them in others hands. I'm a perfectionist as you can tell by the pics of my work. But once I do get it, you're first in line. Besides me and the guy who is going to wire them up, of course. I'll warn you that they won't be cheap.

I get plum pudding from Sludge. :)

Yummy coconuts . . . I keep waiting for a great coconut NET . . .

I've also been emailing Wlad about his Jungle Juice -- he says it has a very similar tobacco base to the one used in JGBlend (but a bit lighter, so the Nanner really SHINES! :banana::banana::banana:).

I'll be getting Jungle Juice on my next A+ order, along with a sample of Bananas Foster! :p:evil:

:pervy::pervy::pervy::pervy:

I've got a 10ml of Jungle Juice still steeping...I forgot I had it until I read this post. I'll try it in the next couple of days and let you know how it is and how prevalent the banana is.

Is Mr. Scarfy taking you?
 
Spent a long time flipping through this thread and have come to the conclusion that I am going to pull the trigger on NETCOM Big Spirit. Curious on what the difference is between the glass bottle and the plastic. Also ... never like just having one bottle of something to try. So what are suggestions for a second liquid to try from them? Thinking of Balkan or Gold.

Black Cavendish is one of their more popular flavors. Also consider Coventry and Balkan.
 
I have heard good things about Coventry as well. Definitely going to order the sample pack and try a few. Plastic vs. Glass bottles ... what is the difference? Still getting my feet wet (just a little over a month off analogs), so sorry if that is a dumb question but first company I have seen with the option.

Big Spirit is really good, a little on the mild side. My wife used to smoke American Spirit roll your own tobacco and she says the taste is very similar. I haven't tried Gold. Balkan is one of my favorites from them. Pretty bold flavor, you may want to get it in a sample size if you haven't had any bold NETs so far.

Also, if you email them before you purchase and give them an idea of what kind of flavor you are after, Clay will give you recommendations.
