@VaPeD&CoNfUsEd have you tried reaching out to
@Oregonglassblower? He seems to be a solid guy, maybe a PM asking him to hold off on the enano carbed GonGs?
Secondly, I hope you don't throw me into the backstabbing camp. I publicly ordered a carbed adaptor (I believe Mike has been offering these for a while) to use with the 2 non-carbed JoDa GonGs I ordered from you last year. Since getting my 2 carbed GonGs from you earlier this year, I've been neglecting the originals I got from you, hence the adapter.
Lastly, I work in an industry were my work has been copied daily for over 10 years. Yeah, it sucks, but on the flip side, it is what drives me to always do my best. To this day, no one has caught up with me and that's something I'm damn proud of.
Regarding art, your work has its own soul.. when I want a BMW, I buy a BMW. Right now, you're the only dealership in town.
