Tank Glass

[The_Professor_2019]

Maybe I am searching wrong, but I remember years ago there used to be people who custom made tank glass....

It used to be ground and etched works of art....

Does anyone still do this?

Just summoning someone I am sure who will know to answer your question.

Thank you.

I seem to remember there was a chap in US who used to do it. I want to say Colorado...

It would just finish my mod perfectly.
And thank you for your help.

Alas, Bedazzle Glass is no more. She was my go to glass person, there may have been others that I'm unaware of.

IBTanked used to do glass etching but they are gone too. sigh

 

[The_Professor_2019]

Thank you anyway, if you do hear anything, please let me know

 

[Katdarling]

QEW! To the ResQEW!!!!!


Also Phiniac, but I believe they only do stemware now.

Bedazzle was my go-to. Are you sure she's out of biz?

OMGooooooooooodness, she really IS! How incredibly sad.

If it's the same person, you might be thinking of Bert (Trippy Tips)? He does AMAZING glass work!!

IBTanked? Gone. Phiniac tanks? Bella tanks? That's all I remember ATM...

All gonzo, Madame K-ya. Sadly so. We lived in the Golden Era.

That we did. So sad. I also remember that High Desert Vapes used to carry the most beautiful, handmade glass tanks--I cant't recall who made them--it was a local artist, an incredibly talented glass worker. Gorgeously decorated. *sigh*

I fell in love with this one-- @Baditude 's picture. They also had one with a turtle hugging the tank...

I remember phiniac now I have seen their name.

I remember drooling over some of their tanks

Yes, we really did have kit that just does not exist any more.

I have spent a day trying to track down someone, anyone who will produce me some tanks

I guess I will want 5 in all. Three to be fitted to mods, and one spare.

I have been hovering around the gandalf pipes again..... But I really need to find that one person...

That artistic glassblowing expert who makes one off unique things...

High Desert Vapes - CLOSED - 24 Photos - Vape Shops - 4118 ...

I think that they ALL are closed down. I still have that High Desert tank above in my "no longer in use" drawer. I have glass tanks from Phiniac, IBTanked, Bella, High Desert, and Valley View.... all of those manufacturers are gone now.

 

[The_Professor_2019]

Tis a real shame....

The only ones left seem to be some colour changing frosted ones..

I do wish I had bought some years ago....

I do wish I had bought some years ago....

It's a shame, but don't forget that those were cartomizer tanks. Do you even use cartomizers? Most of us don't. I can't speak for other people, but I said farewell to cartomizers years ago.

 

[The_Professor_2019]

I still have my carto-punch on my keyring....

But when I started vaping, cartos were the 'latest thing'

I just thought that with the massive growth of vaping, there would still be people making various glasses.

But it appears that now, people just want what they can buy at the nearest vape shop......

 

[Katdarling]

Or, perhaps, the cheapest, most disposable ("I'll just get another one.") gear.

The Golden Years of the Artisans seems to have passed us by. Sadly.

There's a gal on Facebook who does custom tank RINGS.....they're "girly" but perhaps she would be someone to reach out to.
