New glass bowl will be able to hold and properly vaporize .5 correct?
Nope. That's an huge amount for the FP. Currrent recommendation is .05-.10, and that's a couch-lock, knockout amount. Like taking a J straight to yo face! You can probably jam .5 in if you want, but its going to completely block the airflow.
Any time estimate on when the new glass bowl will be released?
Nope. Its going to be quite some time. We have sent RFQ's for 100 piece initial orders to both Bradley Miller(US), and china factory and received no quotes from each. If anyone is waiting on the glass to purchase the Flowerpot, please know that its going to be some time. To get this bowl to NewVape quality standards, its going to take some serious R&D. The glass bowl is not currently being sourced.
And any idea when the Showerhead will be back in stock / for sale?
It was just put back in stock!
We definitely need this forum's help. As stated we've gotten no response from both US and offshore suppliers. Our specifications are a challenge as we need tolerances to be met very closely, a challenge for lampworked borosilicate. Even the raw tubes from makers like Schott, Simex and Corning don't have 100% consistent OD's. We have assured potential blowers that we can adjust the dimensions of the mating part to fit what is possible on a production run. Consistency is what we need, and with glass...that's damn hard.
If anyone knows of a glass blower that might be interested please forward this link to them! The proposed drawing is completely open to modifications to make more workable. We can send them the coil nut for reference.
Our main criteria is to:
1) Final product must prove to hold the showerhead safely when being used on a 45deg beaker rig while doing a dab with the showercap.
2) Retain a 3/4" ti screen, healthstone, quartz frit, etc any thing else that will fit inside a 3/4" x 1/2" bowl.
3) 18mm male
4) Very flat top
5) The 1/2" top section of the outside dia of the bowl must be held consistent for production. (this is the area the 20mm coil nut interfaces with)
6) Sturdy, sensible handle.
