Open Source Glass Thread

[Oglop]

I think its pretty funny how everyone wants that egg and no one has said a word before the 8th page.

 

[cybrguy]

I don't remember seeing it when the thread first started. It might have been added, but probably has always been there and I just missed it. I think I am not alone...

 

[Deadhead710]

I thought it was funny too....I haven't been on boards in awhile.saw that right away and was like oh shit I need that...thanks blankrider for all you have done for us on fc looking forward to these protypes coming out

 

[Frederick McGuire]

I think its pretty funny how everyone wants that egg and no one has said a word before the 8th page.

Probably because there's a note right under the pic of the egg in the OP saying it takes too long to make and won't happen for a while...

There's been plenty of talk of eggs between the other glass design thread and the cheap bubbler thread, otherwise I doubt that egg prototype would've even been made...

They...are up. Damn @blankrider they look sick!

Thanks again to @blankrider for all his work on these!!

Cheers!

 

[Hoops]

Steven has posted new Youtube video's of these as of this morning on his Youtube account.

I'd also note the listings show 'advance booking' so these are pre-orders.

Errr, what's going on in the function video for this piece? Looks like it doesn't have intake holes into the funnel and is sucking water up the return instead?

Cheers!

just ordered 2 of these ,longest shipping time for me,but i am okay with it
Shipment Deadline: at most 40 business day(s)


i am looking for a good flower piece, anyone have on the subject?

 

[Tweak]

Errr, what's going on in the function video for this piece? Looks like it doesn't have intake holes into the funnel and is sucking water up the return instead?

Idk, is that how he thinks it is suppose to work?

 

[ctxgooner]

Why does he never post the joint size??

 

[canj00digit?]

Idk, is that how he thinks it is suppose to work?

On another watch what I thought were marks/bits in the glass seem to be tiny intake holes into the funnel.

Other than that design flaw, everything else looks great guys, btw. Great work in this thread!

I am eyeing up the mini-pillar the most out of the bunch.

 

[NewVape]

Idk, is that how he thinks it is suppose to work?

It looks like his water level is a bit low.

 

[SSVUN~YAH]

001 caught my eye, as well as the incycler til I saw that vid. What piece gets to be 007? That will sell just bc of the product tag. Can't wait to see some member reviews on theses pieces. I'm not bold enough to pre order prototypes.

 

[NorthernHuskie]

If anyone looks at the incycler video, the piece he's using doesn't have holes on the top of the perc. At around 0:16 it zooms in and the top of the perc is smooth glass. I think that might be the issue of what isn't functioning properly.

 

[BoogerMan]

Yeah the Incycler definitely is not functioning properly. Water level does look low too but something else is wrong.

Doesn't look like the perc has any slits or they aren't in the right spot. Also the holes at the top of the chamber where the water is supposed to get sucked into for recycling look possibly too small which would restrict airflow and cause water to be sucked up the return tube.

Steven needs to be listing joint size and height for sure!

And I guess we are only getting the bent neck option for the large pillar? I think In the other thread, Everythinghazy said Steven was going to make 50 bent neck and 50 bubbler style neck for the large pillar...

Anyways, here is how the Incycler should function as everyone knows:

 

[vjt324]

The mini pillar actually looks like it's the same size as the matrix pillar.

Build quality looks awesome if they can fixx The function

 

[Erwin]

The fact that they even posted a video of a torus that was that dysfunctional really makes me wonder about Steven's understanding of what he's making... It makes me wonder if they have any concept of diffusion or glassworks or if they even understand that these are made to be smoked/vaped out of, or if they're just copying pictures and wondering why the hell all these foreigners want such strange shaped pieces of glass... Otherwise, I can't understand how could they think that was a functional piece ready for presales.

Nonetheless the rest look pretty great. I'm especially excited about the large pillar, although I wish I knew how large we were talking. Steven really needs to be posting measurements and joint sizes on his listings. I'm trying to figure out the size difference between the large and mini pillars, and it's really hard to tell by just looking at the pictures and trying to compare joint sizes.

I look forward to @blankrider weighing in and hopefully providing us with a bit more information if he's got it, and eventually explaining to Steven what's up with that torus... Otherwise, I'll for sure be ordering one or two, and I'm stoked to see our designs and dreams become a reality!

Thanks again @blankrider, and cheers to everyone!


EDIT: @blankrider I'd also love to see an actual side-by-side picture of the two different pillars. Any chance of asking steven for one for us?

 

[Tweak]

Maybe this will help.

Perspective is different and I have no clue what focal lengths he used, but this gives a better idea of the difference in size:

This was quick and dirty done in Gimp, which I've never used before. Don't have PS installed right now.

I may have scaled the mini too small, unless it's using a 14mm joint.

You can clearly see the large pillar takes up the whole seat.

 

[SSVUN~YAH]

This was quick and dirty done in Gimp.

Sounds like a crazy time. Lol, good work!

 

[Erwin]

I tried to do the same thing but I was trying to use the size of the joint as reference since it's usually the only standardized part of a piece. This became less effective when I noticed how strangely short the joint on the large one is. Then I realized I don't even know if they're 14 or 18, or even one of each...

Using the base as reference is much more helpful though. Thank you @Tweak. They both look pretty damn nice...

Also, side note: Check out that smog in the background.

 

[Monsoon]

I ordered the Mini-Pillar for now, was going to order the Incycler too but I'll wait until he's fixed it. Still pondering the others...

 

[PoopMachine]

That incycler worries me....... I was waiting for that guy too

 

[cybrguy]

OK, maybe I'm missing something and someone can explain it to me.

I've never hit a piece like this but I imagine that the pillars don't really add anything unique to the taste or diffusion of our goods over other more simple percs and designs, and the benefit of this involved and intricate design is for the visual effects of the piece. How it looks operating with the movement of the water and the vapor is what we are after. So, why would we want to add a MP that is directly above the action, making it impossible to see it without a mirror? Doesn't it make more sense to have something that comes off the side enough to allow us to witness the action? I mean, we are never (or very rarely) gonna get a GREAT view of what we are hitting, but shouldn't we be aiming at at least SOME view on a piece like this?

 

[weenstoned]

Definitely bummed out on that incycler test. Also by the price after conversion to Canadian dollars (damn you petro-state!). Will order once I get confirmation it is fixed. Probably the mini-pillar too.

Would have been on that mothership mini if I didn't have an e-nail already. Steven also posted a dabbucino with the hitman style hammerhead perc which looks kinda nice.
