Thank you. I’m slowing my draw a bit and good suggestion — I’ll definitely give bigger/better pearls a shot.
No hate, but the quartz balls that came in the $20 banger set (yes, I bought a banger/cap combo for $20 alongside a $600 titanium/sapphire banger lol) were not only tiny, but very different sizes, sending the tiniest one, somehow, INTO my very small recycler first try lol... Not a great first experience.
I think I’ll spring for a nice size quartz or sapphire pearl or two, you guys have any suggestions where to get em? Again, I’m not totally sure I’ll use them (at all/often), so nothing crazy please.
Dropping the sapphire dish into a hot bucket sounds interesting, but personally i love my new dish way too much to even consider it right now. I’d also be interested to hear more about it, though! To “reload” a dish I imagine you would have to remove the banger from the glass entirely, and flip the bucket over to remove the dish? It’s very fiddly in my head...
I have been swabbing the sapphire with a drop of iso around 200-300f and no problems, but to be fair a dry qtip right after cleans up 99%+ of the mess right away. Getting to 300f from 525f only takes about 3ish minutes.
It’s been an awesome intro to enails, I’ll say that much.
