I'm working on uppin my game guys so I can pull off all the things you want to see. I'm on a waiting list for a far bigger torch right now. Then it's on like donkey kong!
Heh, I know how important the right tools are. I'm about to purchase a higher end 3D printer so I can increase my printing speed to produce prototypes faster (and faster to produce finished products).
I looking forward to my shipment! Do you make 19mm Nano GONGS also?
@Snappo A possibility.
@syrupy that's the dream my friend but I'm am still a long ways off from that. Granted I am much further along than any glassblower should be at only 2 months on the torch but, I've gotta stay realistic. It'll be quite awhile before you see big complicated stuff from me but, I bet I'm not far off from micro stuff like some Steve beer (beer glass) type of rigs. My main concern right now is building a strong customer base and giving stellar customer support because without all of you there is no me. I'm so blessed to have all of you following me on this journey. I also pride myself on being the "vaporists glassblower" that's why I stay proactive here and pay as much attention to you guys as I can and provide as much feedback as possible. Eventually I'd like to not ever have to make a combustion piece again.
@Ratchett yes I do make nano 19s

I do those already. Well I haven't made a dome yet per say but, the tech is simple enough for my skill set.

I'm not an expert but I have a strong opinion
Would love to see some examples of this work.

I wouldn't want the bowl to to have thicker glass because the load size would be reduced. I know there will be an adjustable screen, but I'd want as much herb down in the oven as possible... and stirring is not an option. Thicker glass would also effect heat transfer, but maybe not enough to notice.
I do agree with notching the stems, but no grooves.

@VaPeD&CoNfUsEd is one of the coolest people I have been lucky enough to do business with. For anyone on the fence I highly suggest putting in a order. I will try to put up some pictures later today of all the goodies he sent me. I have already placed another order

Just used my thick wall nano stem in my Solo, I usually use a PVHES standard. Only used the nano stem once or twice before this. Thickest clouds I've ever blown with my Solo, I could see the vapor flowing through the stem. So I rigged up some silicone tubing and put it in a bubbler, 6 thick clouds with a 11mm deep bowl. Nano sized bowls with a Solo, 
.
Did some measuring, the nano stem is 10mm ID, 15mm OD. Keep it this way and they could be dual purpose stems/GonGs, nano and Solo,
.
Just curious, what purpose would the notches serve?

Pictures as promised. Sorry the pictures are not great but at least the glass is.
Steamroller enano stem I just finished for @blankrider . This thing is badass!
Gonna have to make one for myself just so I can try it out!

It's so sturdy on top of the nano too! Thick beefy piece!

I am so excited! This is going to be the future of using the nano dry.
I actually have still never used my stock stem but I use the cobalt spoon stem a decent amount and love it. It gets great flavor and a reasonably cool hit. Better than I expected since I always used a water path before I got it. The only problem with the spoon stem is the carb hole is sort of close to the bowl. The bowl itself does not get too hot just where my finger covers the carb I can feel how hot the air inside is since it is coming almost directly off the heating element. It is not so bad that I have gotten burned but it can be pretty warm. I also use my nano at 8 which might be higher than most so this might not even effect you.
My idea for the steam roller is that I wanted something I could clear without having to remove yet also with my finger out of the heat path. This should provide everything. Considering the air flow is from the bowl to the mouthpiece I doubt there will be any heat where I cover the rush.
I would also like everyone to know how much I love my female gong. The cobalt one with lemon drop dots. It functions amazing and is so easy for me to pull when I clear. I don't even have to remove the nano and pick everything up together. I like doing this much more than using my claisen. I now think that female gong might be better than male since there is so much area to grab it and the joint always remains cool no matter how much I vape.
And I must warn everyone that your consumption will increase if you purchase from @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd because his work is so hard to set down

@blankrider you are going to love this piece! I think it's exactly what you've been looking for.
Oooo! I want one! But can I get a Red and black color scheme? PM me a price dude, Seriously like it!Steamroller enano stem I just finished for @blankrider . This thing is badass!

No kidding! I think I need a couple of those for my Solo as well!
For the steam roller stems I need to order more heavy wall 16mm. I only had one stick. I had no idea so many would want them. Just so it's clear I don't want to take credit for that design. That design falls on @blankrider 's shoulders. Pm me if interested guys.
And yes @Ratchett I have black and red.

@GSH you made the right move placing an order now because things are about to take off for v&c. Don't worry it is well worth the wait
@2clicker hurry up and order one. It's for your health
@VaPeD&CoNfUsEd thank you for giving me credit for the design. Without you it would have just been another pipe dream. You are the man and always a great pleasure to work with
@everyone here on FC, quit pussy footing around and put in your order. You won't be disappointed
