Yep fair points, I only disagree that it would discourage anyone, if anything we are getting more action in this thread now, hopefully more people see it, and share more heady glass soon! :cheers::spliff:

Have you heard about the boom on Mizar 5?
I don't post stuff like my Leisure Glass or one of the U.S tubes beakers I might be getting in here because I don't consider it "heady" l would 1 of 1 art pieces. I've often considered making a "production glass" thread for rigs that are inbetween DHgate china glass and Bear Mountain. However I'm lazy and I don't know how much activity it would pick up

Here we go back on topic, check out Vassily Crettol on IG true heady glass similar style to Jeremy, but some of his pieces go a bit crazier with the color raking and fuming and millies... Hoping be can make something like this with a 14mm female, he said he had in the past maybe:

Some larger and more expensive like this big 14mm hammer bubbler:

and a big $300 Simpsons tube, I like this colorful $200 bong tube:

I just ordered this little 10mm cup rig on the right below, he is adding a few holes in the perc for me, he also has the one in the middle below still available here btw (original buyer flaked)

Says he may not be making any more of these cup rigs so I'm glad I got one!

Sorry what about this one though, finally just arrived today suddenly after nearly 4 months stuck in shipping limbo, silver fumed color tentacled millied 14mm male rig from China... It seems quite nice quality actually, for what it is, paid $48 without the bowl from DJsmoke on DHgate, the drop down adapter is from Amazon, and as per usual this rig is much smaller than expected, good function:

The fume vaporizes precious metals like silver, gold, or platinum in front of the flame. The fumes attach to the surface of the glass and can then be sealed in and covered with additional layers of clear glass to create colorful effects and color changing designs.

Hopefully these can qualify, kind of deemed too expensive for the cheap glass thread, although very reasonable price for US handmade thick glass with unique perc, designs, colors, and heady elements available... Sort of Heady Scientific maybe? Can highly recommend them though!
Hey just thought you guys would like this one, he’s not β€œcheap” but for sure in the Gooroo licit range of prices on his scientific pieces and he’s putting out some interesting perc designs, bubblers especially look sweet. I have a feeling his prices will climb over the next year or two but we’ll see.

Totally agree. Started following them on IG right before they launched their website and was surprised the prices were in that lowish range. Got 25% off a nice little ~13" 18mm tube for being one of the first orders and I'm super happy with it. Looks like you can still get a 20% coupon for signing up on their site.

Edit:
Oooh yeah this seems like very reasonable prices for what you get, there are even a few bent necks and bubbler style, clear pieces and heady accented too...

So I am seriously contemplating one of these^ The one on the left comes to $128 shipped after discount, and the one on the right is $140 though it had a fucked up perc apparently that was fixed... Edit: No I was wrong, fixed just means the perc is fixed as in stationary not removable? His special custom perk is called fixed reverse "perctosuccess" with awesome stacking!
Nice looking function videos on their Instagram along with these color versions:

Anyway I am talking to FireWithinGlass on IG now, super quick to respond, seems like a great guy in Vegas, the blue bubbler above is still available though the red one sold already, I'm asking about the price... Thinking the heady blue tube may be a must-have, asking if there might be any special savings if I were to get both though??! :mental:
So if I get these fire pieces they will be my most expensive yet... Think I have to get at least one, but I am now trying to decide if I should get both for $300 shipped (vs $140 for the wig wag rig on the website or $180 for the bubbler through IG) which he was nice enough to offer :o:drool::hmm:
Okay I know I said I would stop, because they're not exactly cheap, though I think they are a bit cheap for what they are, which is truly beautiful work fully unique with color accents and heady elements, very thick glass all around high quality... Anyway I just had to report back to show them in person, so nice next day shipping Vegas to SoCal:

This photo cannot do them justice at all, fortunately the can on the tall one is indeed narrower than my Biao bent neck, but I think the one on the right is going to be a new easy favorite for me (and is now my most expensive piece...) Perc function seems strong out the sides, the wider bulb base is a nice feature to accommodate, and the mouthpieces seem decent a little on the narrow side, but now to try them out! Will be posting in the Halo thread for starters, no more about them here? :tup:

Time to break them in... Now back to your regularly scheduled true heady glass insanity :freak:

Aaaand now my little cup bubbler from Vassily Crettol in Nashville just arrived, so I have to show it off! He sent the down stem it had, red with open bottom although I didn't realize there is a little bar in there so it does split the path for a little modest diffusion, along with an open bottom down stem that has three holes in the sides as I requested, nice that they are two different colors too:

Very nice work, and I am thrilled that my 14 mm female to 10 mm male s-shaped drop down adapter fits perfectly so I can use it with any of my vapes... First up is FW7 :spliff:

So I typed this into Google,
what does "heady" glass mean?
And here is the answer,
Heady glass is a moniker used to distinguish high-quality blown glass pieces such as dab rigs, dabbers, hand pipes, and bongs used for cannabis consumption. Each piece is unique and many are truly one-of-a-kind works of art. Heady glass pieces feature many colors that stand out.13 Aug 2018
So Heady truly means unique, One-Of-A-Kind works of art not just a splash of colour on a Chinese rig!
So that is why this thread gets little use...saved for the really flash gear!

Thanks man! Yeah so the Biao rig I shared definitely didn't qualify and I certainly understand why people were upset by that post! However my latest acquisitions within the US certainly do qualify then, individual handmade pieces that are one of a kind :tup:

Yeah, and I think this is an ok description of heady vs. scientific":

What is Scientific Glass?
Scientific glass bongs have gained lots of popularity in recent years. As the name suggests, scientific glass bongs are designed based on science. By researching the best ways to cool and filter smoke, scientific glass manufacturers help smokers to have the best possible experience. Once one scientific glass company learns about a new design, it’s not uncommon for others to follow suit.

Advantages of Scientific Glass
1. Cool, Smooth Hits
Scientific bongs are known for providing the best hits, thanks to the percolators. Percolators filter smoke as it moves through the bong, which removes the smoke’s harsh qualities and cools it down. There are many different types of percolators, and even more combinations.

2. Scientific Glass is Durable
It’s important to protect your bong from breaking, but scientific glass tends to do this for you. Because scientific bongs are crafted with thick borosilicate glass, they’re resistant to damage from short falls. It’s also less likely to be damaged by heat from a lighter, or if you’re dabbing, a torch.

3. Easier to Find Accessories for
Finding the right accessories for scientific bongs is a breeze. The joint sizes on scientific glass pieces are standardized, with the most common choices being 10, 14, and 18mm. You can easily find an accessory in the matching size. If you’re looking to keep your piece clean, then you can pick up a compatible ash catcher. If you want to smoke concentrates, then use a dab nail.

Should I Buy Scientific Glass?
That depends entirely on your preferences. If you’re looking for a bong that goes the extra mile in cooling down the smoke for a delicious hit, then a scientific piece is probably the right choice for you! If you’re more focused on the design, though, heady glass might be the way to go.



What is Heady Glass?
While scientific glass pieces are known for their function, heady glass pieces are famous for their beautiful designs. Glass artists take great pride in creating pieces with beautiful designs, and for good reason. Sometimes, heady bongs are unique, one-of-a-kind pieces, so they can become quite a collector’s item.

Advantages of Heady Glass
1. Creative Designs for Imaginative Smokers
There are no limits when it comes to creative heady glass designs. Beautiful, eye-catching design is the defining quality of heady glass. These designs can range from psychedelic patterns to animals, foods, and more! Smokers who take pride in their piece collection will love having a heady bong that adds some character.

2. Vibrant Colors
Unlike scientific bongs, which generally have a clear, transparent look, heady bongs can come in every color! Depending on the design, some may feature a spectrum of colors in an eye-catching swirl design.

3. Glass Features
In addition to the beautiful design and colors, heady glass bongs often have unique features. For example, implosion marbles are an up-and-coming trend that add a unique flair to bongs. But the creativity doesn’t end there! Other heady bongs tie the design together with unique features like spikes and horns protruding from the piece.

Should I Buy a Heady Glass Bong?
Heady bongs definitely can't compete with the cutting-edge function of scientific bongs. But, if you're looking for a piece that filters your smoke in style, then a heady bong is the way to go.

IMO heady does not just mean one off, it is something you know when you see it. It is something so special, that you did not even know something like this could exist. Check out @ramickelsen or @bubblesthebutcher or @grimmglass to see what I mean...

I’ve kinda slowed down on acquiring vapes, so I’ve been eyeing different glass makers on IG. I follow this guy, Zane, (@inzaneglass) who makes some sweet dry pipes and bubblers. My birthday is around the corner so I figured I’d treat myself. 14mm joint, blue cheese coil potted and raked with some wigwag and a couple shroomies.


Zane sent me this video this morning. Will probably have it in my hands middle of next week.
