Thanks so much! It's taken me a bit of time to knock the rust off, but I am starting to feel more confident behind the torch again.
I made it into the studio for a bit yesterday.
2 more nice dynavap stems
14mm Octopus adapter, the customer requested no carb on this one.
As I said, I am...
Hey all, I managed to make it into the studio for a few hours last night.
The finished heady daisy stems.
I spent some more of my glass crafting XP to unlock a new Dynavap - Creature of Earth. Now I can make Puffin Pals! The pieces are still hot in the videos, so some of the eye colors...
Hey all, I missed last week so it's been a while since I updated. I got a few days in the studio this weekend though to get some stuff made. As always thanks for looking, and please feel free to comment!
Heres some Dynavap stuff that I made last week.
This weekend I got a big batch of my...
Thanks! I always have the best intentions of getting stuff listed on Etsy, but I am bad with the follow through. A lot of the pieces I sell via custom invoices. If Etsy is your preferred payment platform, feel free to reach out to me there and I can show you which pieces are currently...
Hard to believe it's been another week already!
I forgot to post this 14mm eyeball that I made. The Iris and pupil got a little off, but overall I like the design. I'll have to make a few more before Halloween.
I got a the Daisylocks from last week finished up. I'm still working out the...
Hey again, it's time for our weekly update. I was in the studio both days this weekend! I started some of the Daisy locks, but unfortunately didn't finish them today. I have been really enjoying mine, the level of cooling is amazing. I noticed that the amount of debris on the top of the...
Hey all, I made it back into the studio this weekend.
I got a few of the XL Economy stems made. These are 5 inches, with a 4 inch intercooler!
I also got a couple Dynaspoons made.
Hey all it's been a while. I am still over here doing my thing, but still only in the shop 1 day a week on average. I have been focusing primarily on the daisy stems. Vgoodiez has sold out, and I have more that I will be shipping to them on Tuesday.
I did make this fun 10mm Dynavap snake...
Wow that was fast! Thanks for the detailed write up so far! You’re right that the inside diameter of these is just slightly larger than the stock unit. The stock unit is made from quartz tubing that is 16x2mm, but that size isn’t available in borosilicate. So most 3rd party stems are made...
Awesome, thanks for your support! I am excited to hear how you like it, and if you feel like it is a worth while upgrade over the stock cooling unit. Fortunately now that I’ve worked out the kinks, the production on these is fairly straight forward, which keeps the price down. I am hoping a...
I can’t contain my excitement! Photos will be added and sales will go live tomorrow I believe, but for now here is the link:

I love this idea, I think it will work since that's exactly what they are!
It looks like the package should arrive tomorrow! I don't know how quick he will get them unpacked and listed. The issue that I have with the vgoodiez glass tip is that the post essentially touches the intercooler. I...
Thanks! I wanted to create something that is unique, functional, durable, and economic. I am thrilled with how these turned out. I just shipped the first batch of stems to vgoodiez this morning. I don’t know when they will be listed on his site. I am going to do the first couple of drops...
Snuck into the studio for a few hours today.
Here is the Dynavap WPA from last week, along with the Dani adapter that I was supposed to make. The piece was still hot in the video, which is why the eye is a different color.
Keeping with the twins vibe.
Here's the finished dual use TM/Dani...
Hey there everyone, I had another Sunday Funday today!
I haven't made this style for a while, but this is the updated version of the very first style that I made. This is still the style I personally prefer to use.
I also made this bent 10mm adapter for someone that needed to get the tip...
I had been on vacation, and busy with other things in life. I finally had a chance to make it back into the studio tonight.
I have been gathering the components to put together a nice glass wet saw. Today I finally got to cut my first pieces of glass with it!
The new saw cuts much cleaner...
I had been thinking about making a Dynavap stem using this new daisy intercooler. Then I had a bit of a stoner revelation.. I can just make the TM stem mouthpiece compatible with the Dynavap!
Heres are the dual use Dynavap / Tinymight stems before I welded the intercooler into place. They go...
The area marked in pencil is what I am planning for my economy stems. 3.5 in total length, 2.5 in intercooler centered, leaving 0.5 in on both ends. Since I manufacture them, I can make the empty space at either end longer to add 3mm balls, but it's something you would have to let me know so...
I don’t think I could put holes in successfully. Popping holes with heat will distort the tube. Drilling would be hard because of the varied thickness. I think it would weaken the glass, though that might not be significant because it would be protected inside. My next step will be to spiral...
I’m not sure where I would put any? I don’t like the look of dimples or beads personally, so you likely won’t see them in my work. A lot of the fun for me is the challenge of coming up with novel, functional, and ascetically pleasing designs.
