Yes, the sapphire insert stayed in place, the ruby spheres went flying.
Water (unknown to me at the time) went up the dropdown but didn't get into the bucket.
The words that came from my mouth were immediate and not polite: "Fucking ...!!!"
:disgust:
But exceedingly happy that the gem of a...
I just knocked over my favorite rig::o
Heart pounding, but no causalities :bowdown:
Red hot ruby spheres went flying though!!!
:peace:
Edit: I didn't notice it until now but my dropdown is filled with water.
None got to the banger, which had within it a sapphire insert and two ruby spheres...
I received my second ruby sphere today.
Looks like it's the same size as my first one?
I'm thinking that their stated size might be a little generous, the two spheres side by side measured almostt 11mm.
Still I'm pleased; put the two spheres in a 30mm sapphire Liger insert and the first dab...
You have to be careful as it flash boils quite quickly.
I put in ~ 1/2 cup (?) the bottle and nuke for ~27secs.
I put a paper towel over the top and watch it as it 'waves, if you see the paper towel move press stop immediately.
If you don't catch it in time it "explodes" up and out coating your...
I microwave my ISO in a squeezable plastic condiment bottle; buy at the grocery store for a buck.
Makes it easy to heat the ISO and then squirt it into your rig for quick and easy cleaning.
Sounds sexy.
I demand dab porn when it all comes together!
I just received my order of a single ruby sphere from Cryptic Culture.
While I ordered a 6mm and received a 5mm I can't really say anything but things about their customer service. Within 2 minutes of my IG message they sent me an...

My two caps:
:leaf:
RE: Liger Air: I hope the lip is the same as I love my caps and don't want to go on another quest for the cap.
I need to get a scale so I can weigh my sapphire inserts to generate more data points.
I also found Coojo to be communicative and easy to work with.
He sent me multiple pictures of different colors of blue when he was at the glass supply shop so I could decide which color blue I preferred.
This was for a $45 cap.
I went with brilliant blue.
It's great to hear that your vapor production has increased to much!
I'm surprised the Coojo caps don't induce a spin in the 30mm Liger, have you tried just one or two spheres?
The Riptide I have is only for up to ~25mm bangers.
I also has one of the flat top Riptides and it barely covered the...
11.5mm diameter is a pretty big sphere, could be good for deep bangers/inserts.
Cryptic Culture offers 5mm and 6mm.
Eternal Quartz didn't list a size, but looked ~5-6mm too.
Sounds good, should receive mine Monday.
Eternal Quartz just released opaque quartz gear inserts: https://www.instagram.com/p/BjiusSVguJ_/?taken-by=eternal_quartz
Angling the gearing would enhance spinning (one would think).
I have three sapphire inserts, two of which sport large cracks running across the base of the insert.
I have also watched (and heard) a crack expand across one, not pleasant.
Anyway I've been using them without any issue for quite some time.
I'm keeping the pristine one locked away.
PS Overall...
Nice, I appreciate people pushing the envelope.
Won't be able to see it orbiting, but it will still be doing the work.
With regard to max numbers and max surface area …
Maybe 7 6mms and a Metatron's cube of 19 5mms?
I think the best video I've seen of the spheres (this was a quartz sphere) was...
I will keep an eye out for a amenable quartz blower.
I thought that I remembered you saying that your Sapphire insert got stuck in your quartz banger.
Did either break?
I have three different Sapphire inserts and the tolerance for all three within the 30mm Liger bucket is tiny.
I have a...
I have not received my single sphere yet, but ...
As long as the sphere is heated with the insert I don't think there will be any thermal shock issues.
My main concern is all that kinetic energy when the sphere is zinging around the insert.
That being said, I've only seen one video in which the...
