I remember writing a response yesterday. I wonder where it ended up. Hallucinating posts must be what happens when I fail to medicate myself before bed.
Anyway, in the past I've communicated about ordering my beautiful stems via the conversation section on FC. It seems that there's a more effective way now but I don't know what it is.
Thankis

That should be how it works...

Click on Jodas name, and click on start a conversation.

It should start a PM chain with JoDa...

I've had a few PMs with him in the last day or so, so PMs are def going through, maybe try staring a new conversation/PM?

Came home today to find an unexpected package on my doorstep - my Joda order!

Several months ago I asked Joda for a "Mario Themed" 18mm Carb'd GonG for my Nano, and an Aromatherapy Cup to hold essential oils. I really wanted a sweet aromatherapy cup to stare at while my nano isn't in use.

I decided to let Joda choose the exact design (just told him super mario, that's it). I wanted to give him artistic freedom to do what he wanted (I find that's when the best creativity happens).



First, the 18mm Carb'd "Bob-omb" GonG!

Love it! For having no idea what he'd make, I thought it turned out GREAT! Nice work dude



But then then there's this - The Piranha Plant aroma cup!!!

Holy freaking hell is all I can say!!! Dude I can't believe how good this turned out! You've come a long way in these past 18 months, it's been a thrill to watch your skills evolve over that time period.

I can't wait to get some essential oils loaded up so I can start using it




Then a month or two after my initial order, I saw that sweet new Steamroller design and just HAD to order one. Again, I gave Joda full freedom to create whatever he wanted, and I'm very happy with the results. This is a very nice piece:

Pictures don't do the color justice, but it's beautiful. Excellent construction, and high quality glass for an affordable price - I love it! Can't wait to try it with my Lotus later tonight

Amazing the build quality! Just amazing to compare the difference between american glass and China glass - you can feel the difference. Real boro is stronger glass

Yet again, awesome job @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd, thanks!

Hey guys. Sorry for my absence. I've just been grinding away. I shyd away from customs for a bit because I was about to do a run for a chain of smoke shops (65 stores) and at the last minute they gave me an 18% margin on my own work so I "respectfully" declined. Anyways, I'm still here I'm still getting shit done but I am living the life of the starving artist hardcore right now. Hoping to be caught up real soon. I'm doing quite a few great new things, just haven't had much time to do them.

Here's some glass porn.

We've also just started some electro forming here in house.

Anyways that's what I'm up to. I haven't abandoned you, just playing hell to keep surviving.

I haven't @little maggie but, I know that all I have to do is use 8mm tubing on whatever I make and it'll adapt over.
