The purple disc up top is a splash guard that he made look like a turbine. The smoothness is the shizzle.

All my days in a daze...
Very interesting piece, @mvapes! :tup:

Hows the drag with the 3 frits?

Oh and would you happen to know if RayBaby has a site, FB, etc?
I did quick google but came up with nothing... except this thread. :)

Absolutely zero drag. As far as finding him it's tough. Fucking Goldstein tried suing him for making a frit.

Goldsteins background is making laboratory glass fritts. Raybaby didn't really make a frit, he's built his career as an actual artist and eventually was asked to blow some pieces.

Well this frit is actually nothing like a dg, the frit itself is actually weaved and braded. There is no resistance at all resulting in no drag at all.

I'll ask about a site, he's local here in Florida so you see his stuff in high end head shops.

Noticed those Frits were a bit thicker thank most I've seen.. Probably because of the weave and braid.. Awesome piece dude, and a great price!

Edit: glad to hear/see that there is No drag with the 3 percs! Milked nicely :tup:

The BG was my first recycler, thanks to a recommendation from @PhotoRider on a good shop to purchase from.. Love that piece and the millies and the gridded stubby perc it has.. Good chugger, great match for my lungs!

just like everything else, heat and suck... course i only use it on special occasions. When you get a nice rig, like a costly bottle of wine you save for special dates :)
And that is the reason I sold all my super nice pieces. I decided after 10 years my glass was meant only to be functional and used. I also broke my $2000 Brandon Martin Alien Vapor Rig. Would now retail for over $4000. Was sick for a week.

What a lovely collection you have.

but i use everything, just have enough to dedicate special pieces to special dates :)

same goes for anything nice, if you use it and something happens, it breaks your heart and then you move on... I chipped a $7k rig bringing it home and unpacking it. I got over it after I kicked both dogs a couple times, took the 120R harley for a ride, stopped by the gun range, fired a few boxes, rode home, still pissed, kicked the dogs again, smoked a few dabs, cracked out the cloud. a few minutes later all better. Rig still works well and that's why I bought it. so its special day to be ripped is that day every year... I think if I used One rig a day, it would take me a few months so that's reasonable :)


Almost true, didn't kick the dogs...

and oil slick makes a 2'x3' size you can get many planes. I used that for my dab station, and thinking about my coffee table also...

@mvapes, have you compare the clear matrix and the ion? My buddy have clear matrix's and I am wondering if the ion isn't a better size for me.
