Heady Glass Appreciation

I have been following this guy for a little bit, he makes some great pieces! I might have to ask him for a sherlock/jhook with a 14mm.

I've been waiting to see if he will do a 14mm whale... He only does a few sparing 14mm stuff it seems, but his work is great and reasonably priced, was a great find! :tup:

Those things are badass, ha! I reached out to StanAlba but I haven't heard back from our initial conversation, he is probably floored right now. Definitley on the pricey side compared to some though. I found a couple of other glassblowers who do some great sherlock/jhooks with cheaper pricing. I will try to add a few soon.

Not sure if I posted about accidentally breaking the mouthpiece of my GooRoo, knocked the whole thing over and fortunately everything is fine because it's super thick glass except 18mm male joint of the mouthpiece shattered snapping off... Hopefully someday I can find someone to fix that, since the rest is fine, and that orange mouthpiece was unusually long and more bent curved than others... However it allowed me to get a replacement that is a little shorter with a larger mouthpiece hole in the aqua blue color I loved!
Goo Roo aqua blue mouthpiece arrived so I'm back in business with my three-piece again! This one is not quite as bent as my orange one, also it is actually shorter too, but the mouthpiece hole is actually larger... Very nice and fun, hopefully I will find someone who can repair the orange one so I have both (total height is now more like 16.5 inches instead of 18.5)

Love the sunburst base. Contrasts nice with the blue mouthpiece. I imagine it hits like a dream.

This is relevant here, what may be one of the first ever heady glass vaporizers, the original rainbow atlas for sale by cloud connoisseur via Instagram auction:
Oh I forgot to update here, that I did order that double inline, it has not shipped still though a week later, I guess they're busy at Greek Glass in Pennsylvania... Anyway meanwhile I got in touch with Biao on Instagram and they are shipping my bent neck single inline with my blue saki bottle so hopefully they all arrive safely soon enough!

Meanwhile I wanted to mention that there is a heady atlas, the original one, up for auction right now on Instagram until tomorrow:
This one is one of a kind, the original prototype really, larger rainbow atlas!!

Screenshot from a video of it on Instagram, impressive beauty, though they all will be!

Meanwhile I finally ordered the Jeremy Glass, one of his whales, this fatty:

I don't have any of those either, but no interest, I wouldn't want to dab with something like this, so small minimal filtration no recycling... Trying to get a 10mm male to 14 or 18 female drop down adapter, but trying to make sure it will fit properly...

I sometimes like really small pieces for my dabs as well, like this little 10mm jammer rig I have. It's less than 5" tall:
I get some really tasty dabs with this little piece.

Arrived very quick safe and sound, even nicer in person, great size and shape, truly lovely work especially for the price! He even included two down stems, now I just need an adapter... Thinking this drop down

I’m on a glass buying spree :brow:New all fume tube from Syco in Eugene with a sunset scene section I requested.

I’m guessing the rest of the sections are basically a double layer wrap & rake, but I’ve never quite seen it done like that.

The rest of the rig is real purdy but I fuckin love that mountain sunset! Very simple but noticeable, reminds me of some of real old school heady glass!
Yeah I am a sucker for 90’s style heady glass! i went to college in Eugene, OR from 94-99 so i have many fond memories of puffing all this crazy glass that was so revolutionary at the time.

Love the whale, and that Syco tube is sick! I had an old school Sky Glass fumed tube in the mid 2000s from that area and it really is a whole vibe. That Syco is way more worked though. Those are some wicked fume patterns and looks almost like a fumicello on the bum.

I scooped up this 2013 Darby Holm tripod about 6 months ago at 60% off because of the male joint. It took some time, but I finally found a glass blower willing to make a custom drop down adapter to match and change the piece from 70 degree male to a 90 degree female joint, using only photos. It was @SwanGlass on IG, and he knocked it out of the park! Did a great job striking the amber purple to match and the flower sculpting is perfect. It was a super smooth transaction and I highly recommend him.

Have you heard about the boom on Mizar 5?
Beautiful work on that drop, you wouldn't be able to tell it wasn't part of the orginal set if you didn't know beforehand. It's very nice to see a older rig with a male joint to get some use, I always feel bad about all the sweet rigs going unused for being the wrong gender.

@710yota Yeah there are some brand new male pieces out there at shops that still haven't sold from 8+ years ago. I'm going to keep my eyes out for more now that I know I can have adapters made that match. Swan really did a great job making it look original.

@invertedisdead So true haha, though I can't say I miss the days of dabbing on red hot titanium nails And you're right, amber purple always looks good. I'm a big fan of most of the striking colors. It is always cool to see the different streaks of color along the piece.

Oh so it seems like GooRoo are only doing the 30% off today for Black Friday in store:

Only 20% off online (you would have to call them if you want to try to score a colored piece you see that's not online, maybe they can hook you up?)

Also check out their upline section, with the heady color version:

And Heady bongs too:
