Hi
@VaPeD&CoNfUsEd
First of, waow! congratulations on your work man!
I'm not too much into flashy, funky glass work (I'm more of a minimal/discreet design guy) but I'm impressed by how you're pulling this out on your own (that includes the wifey support of course), I'm also pretty sure that if you can make "extravagant" pieces, you can certainly make some that are more to my tastes (that'd be for later this year I hope as I'm looking into getting a custom log vape, not sure which one yet though).
I'm also happy for you to see all the good vibes you receive from our fellow FC'ers here.
Now enough with the praises and let's talk business!
I'm wondering if you can also make some spacers (possibly with some left over from your stem work which would make it even better). I'm getting tired of the glass flowers I have to use with my Ascent and I think you could have a few customers around here for this type of piece if you price it right (like you seem to do). I'm also hearing lots of complaints about the Pax oven being too big so I'm guessing you'd also have customers on that side.
Of course the spacer would have to be plain uncoloured glass (at least imo) but I don't think it'd have to fit too snugly and (I don't know how you'd make it so it's pure assumption but) maybe you could even get a mould done and easily recycle stems ends this way? => efficiency in the workshop and efficiency in the vape bowl/oven, how wonderful would that be?
Then again this might just be another silly suggestion of mine but if it were something possible I'd certainly buy a few of these from you. I believe you own or have owned an Ascent so you should have a pretty good idea of what's needed but I'd also be
happy to help with the design of this spacer if you'd like to have a future customer opinion. As a matter of fact ideas are starting to fly in my head as I'm writing this! but shush... let's take this in PM I can feel people are watching...
