    Recyclers - Discussion and Appreciation

    I spoke to 'Earl Jr.' a few days ago on facebook, he says he isn't taking orders for a bit as he's so backed up with work. Nice problem to have! With the quality of his work and the reviews of friends who own it tho, i'm not surprised... Great artist tho. Said he works with any budget (no...

    First QWISO runs ever - Open to criticism & commentary

    You can never be sure how its gonna turn out when it's from ABV... it will always taste yucky, and the overall strength of the effects will be muted. You could always try to remelt it by going through more purging... might fuse together and turn into taffy or wax. Good luck!

    Cheap High Quality Bubbler

    I aim my torch for the center of the nail and rotate slightly, blue flame just a cm or less from the nail... only takes 5 sec or so to start to glow, then just wait 4-8 seconds after the glow to hit (a bit faster than a Ti nail due to the lack of thickness in comparison). I use a flower bowl as...

    Cheap High Quality Bubbler

    It will probably be fine... just a $10 cheaper version :) I'm sure any difference between them will be splitting hairs to be honest... haha i guess you'll find out :D

    Cheap High Quality Bubbler

    Yes, from looking at the picture of the one matthend grabbed to the one right in front of me, the bowl area in the center of the slits seems a little smaller and steeper on the $30 compared to the $40 quartzcastle. I think it will work fine, but the one thing about the quartzcastle design that I...

    Cheap High Quality Bubbler

    This is a quartzcastle: This is the standard 'domeless quartz nail': There are a few more styles beyond this (halen honey hole, pukinbeagle, club banger, etc.) but they are rare and/or expensive.

    Cheap High Quality Bubbler

    I, also, can't say enough about my quartzcastle. If i'm quick like a bunny, heat up can be less than 5 sec of torch time, which I love as a lonely dabber most of the time :p I also find it carb caps well with a plugged flower bowl over top :tup: although it does cool very quickly due to the...

    bubbler with solo vs F-bomb

    I've had great work done by Colie Glass and I hear Jhanpixel (Aeon glass in the glass forum) is another great blower from colorado. I shipped up a piece of glass a few months back and it came without a hitch from Colie. I see that colie's shop is currently down, but he does a recycler at about...

    bubbler with solo vs F-bomb

    Yea, as a fellow 'BC' glasshead, there are many ways you can go. As far as glass goes, there may be cheaper solutions. GBD (glassblowersdirect) offers a 8" hydrotube (a slightly larger f-bomb - same design) for $65 (i think), and Pinnacle has their version (exactly the same as the f-bomb) for...

    QWISO problem/Issue/Advice please

    yea, the length of wash really plays a huge part. i've tried to work around it because I love getting big yields, but you have to wash fast if you want things to look top notch. It's annoying because it means 4-5 washes if you want full yield (20%+), so what I usually do is 3 washes at 10 sec...

    QWISO problem/Issue/Advice please

    it's probably dark due to the fast purge. I find anything over 110F will start to darken the oil, as will any heat increase during the wash... frankly, it doesn't matter imo, QWISO is just a darker oil. Taste and effects are more what I care for :) Let us know how it dabs! I usually grind my...

    QWISO problem/Issue/Advice please

    a simple rinse/strain would not be long enough. 10-15 seconds is the sweet spot. the ISO will come out nearly clear, and your first run isn't usually that great, but the 2nd will be heavy and then you can still do your soak with the leftovers after doing a proper 1st/2nd wash. Don't feel like...

    QWISO problem/Issue/Advice please

    If you are using fresh material, go for short wash times. If you really care about the color, you have to keep your wash times very short, like 10 secs. However, if you want a decent pull from your flowers, that also means you need to do 3-4 washes at least... It's more work, but you get higher...
