Honestly.... for an 18mm carbed bowl sitting on bubbler, i prefer glass screen. :)

No little plant bits in mouth here, sir.

Yes mettle screen does filter better.... but not wanted for intended application.

Quite happy with gong, carb would just be awfully nice. Not that pulling the thing off is THAT annoying.

Lol ya when I was talking about bits in the mouth I was thinking stem not gong. Yeah I'd love to be able to make all glass versions but, unfortunately I don't have any cold working equipment to make the precision cuts and holes that would be required....... Someday.

I could have you some mailed from amazon and or china lol.

You could make them with pincil tip torch no? Like "poping a hole" for carb or bowl? Might need a straw. ...

Could probly use a hot poker maybe?

For that style. A dremel thin cutting blades might work for slitting a plug. Just mount Dremel and use pliers....

Honestly, they be dirt cheap from china, not worth the bother. Your time could be much better spent making cooler things then little disk. Lol.

Just a thought, but the all glass WPA for the gnome uses "ice pinches" as a glass screen.

I'm not sure how hard it would be to do (from talking to a couple of other blowers, it seems Calen was pretty damn skilled at doing those ice pinches), but I figured it cant hurt to throw ideas around :)

@slatihe I was just like you back in the day. I had that all glass attitude. I got one of those honeycomb glass screen gong from epic vape when I first ordered my nano. I hassled @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd about making all glass gongs and he told me screen was better and I figured it was at least worth a shot.

The adjustable screen gong is so much better than the fixed disk I have never looked back or used it since. I will tell you what I have done, and that is order a worked gong in every size male and female and love them all. And carbed gongs too!

They get better air flow. The disk holes frequently get clogged and you have to keep a tool on hand for poking them out. The adjustable screen is great because you can have it down low as you start with fluffy buds and then slide the screen up as your bud becomes more dry and crumbly. And even though you don't have to worry about inhaling plant matter either way because you are using water the screen does keep your piece much cleaner.

I never thought I would hear myself suggesting a metal screen over glass but it really is just hot air passing through it so it should be perfectly clean and safe

Yea the adjustable screens give you way more control and flexibility IMO. I do have a all glass 14 and 18mm I use them for whole nugs and the screens for my ground up herbs. You can't go wrong with both lol. I'm awaiting my carbed gong from V&C so I can't weigh in on those just yet.

Honestly a "funnel" screen like flower bowl should work fine. But if @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd isn't interested, no problem. He should do what he wants. No sweat, and thanks for fast response!

@blankrider Not hassling. If he doesn't want to weld in a glass screen, I'm fine with that. Just saying a screen is no problem. they are pre-made, cheap, and available, so no reason to bother with making if not wanted. And again if he don't want to weld one in, again no problem! Sorry if any took offense to ideas on how to make them.


You prefer a metal screen basket. Cool.

You telling me I'm wrong for desiring to keep glass on glass for my glass, is not. It's my glass, vape, and sesh to enjoy how i want. I don't like the metal screens in the bowl and like in stems but still hate dealing with the metal screens. That's how I like it, NOT YOU. Also asking a custom bowl maker if they want to make you a custom bowl sounds reasonable to me.

And my glass bowls just takes blowing out when done vapping. Just do it while warm and no need for tooth pick/safty pin. Not that it would take longer then couple seconds to poke like 7 lil holes any way. Not like you asked if I tried a screen either. How long it take you change screens? Then to have to adjust it. They harder to clean, and throwing away is just nasty waste, and you have to adjust it, and well your wrong just cause you don't like it the way I do! Lol jk.


Please enjoy your vape screens in your bowl with out telling me in wrong for enjoying my things, my way, in my home. Thank you.

I have no idea how you thought @blankrider was offended or hassling. I didn't read any of that in his post. But let's not go down that road, and just keep this thread about JoDa glass!

Sorry, typing in very small window with android. Was afraid it came across wrong.

Points was trying to make were:

Was not trying to BOTHER by requesting what is wanted, and did take offense to that implication of intent because i want glass for my reasons. That part i found a little offensive.

Rest is just basically why i like glass not metal in bowl and was not supposed to be directed at any one user nor offensive! Was supposed to just convey "let's just all be happy with our own preference and let others be happy in theirs". And was in response to the constant group response theme that metal screen always = better. And again came out wrong. Happens.

will try to remove overly defensive tone, it's hard working with single big posts. My bad.

Feel free to delete either or both posts. Sorry again, for coming miss communicating!

Edit: Deleted early post, mods feel free to delete also. Dramatic clutter.

Well that's better than nothing. I want a 14mm male carbed gong. Amber purple to match the honey bucket I ordered. Maybe even a pendent. Can you make this style yet? THICK drip

Well give it a shot and hit me back with pricing. Also please give some spikes a shot if you have not tried that yet because I'm coming up with a spike gong I want .

Just curious, how often do you try new things? I understand it cost money to do this and you can't constantly be messing around trying new things with no pay off. Every failed attempt cost money and even successful attempts doesn't necessarily equal sales.

I would love to get into glass blowing but can't even imagine all the logistics

The logistics are pretty crazy. Although the overhead really isn't that bad compared to a lot of other small businesses. I still feel like I dump every extra penny into it. Can't even afford to go shopping on Black Friday this year.

I try new techniques all the time. I try something new every day or 2. Been doing some horns here and there too. The big drips will be done with ease also I believe. I mean, I'm no Steve Beer but I'm quite confident.

I usually practice new shaping techs with clear so I'm not burning through the expensive ass color.

That's fair enough, I prefer your style more anyway.
Why thank you for the compliment!

Edit: Also wanted to mention that I have this handful of mushroom and imposition pendys left from a lil art show I did this past weekend. I'll hook up the good deals on these too.

Edit #2: I also wanted to put out there that my iphone is on it's last leg so if one of you guys recently upgraded to an iphone 6 and still have an iphone 5 laying around and it's AT&T I'd love to work something out. Just a thought.

And a happy turkey day to everyone also! Well shit, Joda has been working his ass off too much to not be able to go Black Friday shopping.... Let's put in some damn orders! I can at least prepay for my tentacle dabber and adaptor if it helps brother

Edit- also V&C I'm definitely going to need a fat Seahawks pendant or dabber, something blue, green and big to hang above my little vape station
