well that was your take on the glass pad and curve when I first showed them a while back I have been using the glass for about 3 weeks now day in and day out all day long and I just got a prototype quartz pad version in the mail today I'll be reporting on that later as well as a more in depth review of the boro pad but I can tell you after three weeks using this boro pad with several high grade indoor strain oils I will not at least at this point be going back to ti, the glass produces a cleaner sweeter taste and this has been confirmed by several people myself included in side by side boro/ti real world tests it simply outperforms ti and Spiral just because it's available and "none" of the blowers are using it doesn't mean it's not superior this pad isn't just a piece of boro stuck on a piece of rod there is a process in the making of this pad .SpiralArchitect said:So did you decided to actually bite the bullet an order one of those things, eh? (glass pad vapor swing)
Personally, I think it looks like total jank; it'll eventually break and need replacement parts, and probably half as effective as a ti pad. Let us know how it works out....
What do you think of the quartz pad version you got? I got a quartz pad on my one rig n I find it tastes different than all my other rigs that are rigged up with ti... I feel the quartz burns my throat n takes like crap... even the bub tastes like crap when u dry hit it after its all oiled up.. taste like that black shitty oil! not that sweeet oil taste like the others! n I no its not the rig cuz its tastes the same when I put it on a different bubb! n the damn thing was brand new! idk man tell me what you think!... I think i might switch back to all ti tho!rbrown13 said:well that was your take on the glass pad and curve when I first showed them a while back I have been using the glass for about 3 weeks now day in and day out all day long and I just got a prototype quartz pad version in the mail today I'll be reporting on that later as well as a more in depth review of the boro pad but I can tell you after three weeks using this boro pad with several high grade indoor strain oils I will not at least at this point be going back to ti, the glass produces a cleaner sweeter taste and this has been confirmed by several people myself included in side by side boro/ti real world tests it simply outperforms ti and Spiral just because it's available and "none" of the blowers are using it doesn't mean it's not superior this pad isn't just a piece of boro stuck on a piece of rod there is a process in the making of this pad .SpiralArchitect said:So did you decided to actually bite the bullet an order one of those things, eh?

Before you condem it get one and check it out, anything that you could do to break this thing would break any other peice of glass including the bell on any curve out there you used the term janky and breakable before, the test unit at Labworx shop has been rockin in daily use tests for 7+ months Spiral you should get one and do a subjective review on it I will have mine out after I have past 30 days of testing.
Only been playing with the quartz for a day or two so the jury is still out but early assessment of the quartz is I like the Boro much better the quartz seems to for lack of a better term scorch the dab and kills the taste, now this may also be due to I just haven't found the sweet spot with the heat. I will have a complete review on both soon but for now the Boro pad is the best way to truly enjoy your extracts IMO...cogz756 said:What do you think of the quartz pad version you got?

I hear boro pads crack fast as does every glass that gets heated and cooled too much... approx how long do they last for you?rbrown13 said:Only been playing with the quartz for a day or two so the jury is still out but early assessment of the quartz is I like the Boro much better the quartz seems to for lack of a better term scorch the dab and kills the taste, now this may also be due to I just haven't found the sweet spot with the heat.

Like I said before I have been using one for a month all day every day and the test unit at the shop has been used the same way for 7 months with the same pad no cracks no breakage if you handle these with a little care they will last for a long time, don't take my word for it get one and try it if you like to taste the full flavor of your concentrates get the glass pad that's all I'm sayin..cogz756 said:I hear boro pads crack fast as does every glass that gets heated and cooled too much... approx how long do they last for you?rbrown13 said:Only been playing with the quartz for a day or two so the jury is still out but early assessment of the quartz is I like the Boro much better the quartz seems to for lack of a better term scorch the dab and kills the taste, now this may also be due to I just haven't found the sweet spot with the heat.

I'm gonna list the dosa soon.. I ordered a trikky bub for my kutcurve+downstem, but wasn't built to the specs I asked for so it's being re-made..minnesnowta said:Lol I hear ya man. I just got a stemline cuz I sold the vg and the inverted showerhead is deffinately a unique hit but I miss the airyness. I haven't had any oil in ages so I haven't even been lookin at rigs. Living with parents and hidding glass doesn't make things any easier. I wish butane was easier to find here. I have to drive 45min each way to even get it now. Some bs.
Weren't you on the hmk list as well?? I'm surprised you don't have a kut pipe yet.
Edit: wait that dosa is what your thinin out or the wil? And what trikky rig are you gettin redone???
What are you not sure of about the quartz? I would really love to hear everyones input on quartz cuz im using it right now and I feel I have alot of problems with it... tastes like crap, too hot... so the wierdeers been on the backburner for now until some ti pads come!rbrown13 said:Well it looks like this glass pad thing might catch on after all (check this link http://www.aqualabtechnologies.com/scientific-glass/sgw-worked-mini-tube-with-glass-swing-arm.html) you owe it to yourselves to try the glass pad (Boro not quartz, still not sure about the quartz) I think you will be pleasantly surprised...
I have to agree with the taste not being the same it almost has a scorched taste to it the quartz can not be approached the same way ti is you have to be more precise on how long you heat it, in doing tests between a boro pad and a quartz pad that once I found the sweet spot as far as heating time the taste improved but what a pita to have to sit there and time how long the flame is on the pad and even with getting it down to a science I still didn't achieve the taste I can get off of boro or ti so for me the quartz is a passing fad I don't really see it being a viable alternative to boro or ti and again for the record the boro pad that I have tested is hands down the best over all taste and efficiency between ti,boro and quartz, don't take my word for it try it for yourselves..cogz756 said:What are you not sure of about the quartz?

yupp its all preference i bet it works great! I personally like the work on glass... thats what makes it for me! dont find alot with work and a glass pad... ill have to talk to a glass blower and see what I can get rigged up!rbrown13 said:Well I got the Labworx all glass curve from ALT and personally I think it's awesome..cogz756 said:I will forsurely try it out!!
