Second revision of the inline looks great brother! The seal there looks much nicer, keep working them! Tricky stuff, but you're making it look easy :D.

S - Second revision of the inline looks great brother! The seal there looks much nicer, keep working them! Tricky stuff, but you're making it look easy :D .
I agree completely CD! :D (any reason you decided to make it stand up (adding the foot) instead of adding a marble of glass on the back of the tube for it to rest on? (like many traditional up-in's do to keep the mouthpiece from touching the ground when laying down--less easy to knock over too). Making a great inline is definitely not easy (IMO). In addition to the welding skill, it is a talent to be able to take all of the factors that affect the performance of the inline into consideration (action creation/containment, drag balance, jacket tightness, entrance/exit holes, slide placement, angles of parts connected, and especially... (IME) PROPORTIONS--plus much much more). Keep practicing (as your practice DEFINITELY shows in your work). :tup:

for this I think the best is to buy the stock one from arizer , it will be cheaper than mine (if you want clear one )

Also as fuckcombustion is not made for selling or making customer suport , I just want to let you know that it is better to ask any request or price question via email as I want to keep this thread to show my work .
Thanks all to respect this ;)

:peace:

CD, that inline you made with a dremel is impressive :tup: (you must have a good eye and a steady hand ;) ).

I can only imagine what you could do with a sharper, thinner, cooler saw. :brow:

Ain't glass great?...so much you can do with it! :)

I'm glad it seems like you're having fun as your learning new skills. :cool:

Short Story: As the people strolled through the convention you could hear a passing group saying, "Oh shit check out that stuff...I've never seen anything like it..that's soo fuckin' Dome!" As the group strolls onwards, another group is revealed, including the now famous, Clear Dome who is still amazed to hear people refer to sick glass pieces as Dome! The tallest person of the bunch, at this point, turns to to Clear Dome and says, "Do you remember when we were just a bunch of strangers chatting vap way back before FC ever had a million members? Another (sorta weird one) says, "it is a serendipitous path we travel." The chubby one says, "Confucius says..." and giggles out of his squinty, little, red eyes.........to be continued?

edit: Thanks for the illustration! :D
