What custom vape glass would you buy?

[charliedontsurf]

I have been toying with the idea of trying to get a small glass studio set up by the beginning of next year, and have had what could be called delusions of supporting it commercially with vapor-related stuff, sold through Etsy, catering to the forum.

Tell me what you would want, what you need and can't find anywhere. I would probably not make log-vape tubes because that is Cleardome's forte, and I'm not really comfortable working with the epoxy.

Some thing I've considered:

-DBV/SSV mini whips, apparently now out of production.
-Large, attractive and ornate mouthpieces for whip vapes.
-Custom bowls/adaptors for various vapes like LSV or hot-air gun vapes.
-Oil domes, vapor rods,
-Glass stems for the MFLB, also possibly large and decorated mouthpieces to provide a more pipe-like vape experience.
-Glass stems for iolite

If I can get a large enough torch and kiln, I would like to focus on glass-on-glass jointed, multi-user hookahs, which will all be made to easily convert to single user use.

What glass pieces would you like made?

OMG Charlie, I've contacted CD for this exact purpose!
We are a few vape geeks here launching a vapor related store (both vapes & ecigs) and we need a glass blower for... hmmm exactly the list you stated. It's so weird, it's exactly the same list in my mail in another order (just add cyclone improved bowls & elbows for the Q and a similar thing to the Valloon concept by vriptech) !

If you are in EU as you're avatar suggests... we could do something quite fast!

I'm in the US sadly, ain't that a bitch. I just have a great love for Belgian beer, as well as any great beer wherever it comes from. I'm a big fan of the Jenlain Biere De Garde from France actually.

Ha ha, great minds thinking alike. If and when I get my studio in order, which won't be for some great time of course, we can definitely talk about collaborating. I miss glass blowing so much, it's such an amazing, functional art and I feel I could produce really innovative products, as well as things which are obvious but no one seems to make.

Custom Extreme bowls.

Varied sizes of both custom and budget extract BHO tubes with feet.

EDIT to add: ..... and that SHIPS TO CANADA.


Best wishes on making a dream come to reality !

My favorites are stemless micro tubes, of course it'll take some practice to be able to pull one off.

I'd like to see a coiled glass vape wand to help disperse heat while not being so long.

An aquavape-esque bubbler that doesn't cost $70+ would be pretty damn sweet.

One that can go right onto log vape stems without tubing being brought into the equation, but still having the option to attach tubing for other vaporizer types.

I think this would be a best seller as there currently aren't many choices for water filtration that aren't just straight up bongs or bubblers intended for combustion, and the vaporizer focused options that are available aren't in everyone's price range, to put it lightly.

Oh, and I am definitely down to beta test.

The DBV/SSV mini whip sounds like it would sell, also making SSV style heater covers for the DBV would be good too since I have read that 7th Floor is not doing this anymore.

Custom heatcovers to turn Hakkos into vapes cleanly.

I would be interested in a small glass pipe to use with a vapobowl similar to this. http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=/&gl=US#/watch?xl=xl_blazer&v=rttVXEy7C-c

I would be interested in more custom glass vapor tubes for the log style vapes(I know some versions of this already exist, but I feel like there isnt much of a selection) as well as micro GonG water pipes(to be used with vapor of course )

 

[Deadhead101]

For a long time I've been contemplating the logistics of making some kind of water filter for my Vapor Genie. That way I can have water filtered vapor on the go. I think that it would just attatch to the mouth piece end of the Vapor Genie, and then the vapor would travel down vertically to the water chamber, and then back up to the new glass end mouthpiece. I would definitely buy this for my Vapor Genie and I'm sure many others would want it for theirs (or their other portable vapes like MFLB).

EDIT: I also agree with Nycdeisel about the log vape water pipes. Something designed specifically for vapor and a log vape would be nice, rather than simply using a typical combustion pipe for vapor. Although, I don't know that there are many significant differences between vapor pipes and combustion types, but I'd imagine there are some differences like airflow/pressure.

 

[OhTheAgony]

Great idea, please ship to Europe as well if you're gonna do this.

The things I can come up with right now I'd be interested in are:

-custom SSV wands/knobs/mouthpieces, perhaps even heater covers (as long as they don't loose any functionality)
-custom GG 14.4/18.8 waterpipe adapters.
-bubblers..?
-glass screens, diffuser downstems etc.

What kind of quality standards do you think you can offer, can we expect top quality stress free borosilicate glass as the norm?

well it seems like you have gotten your store up and running - congrats! i thought that i might spur some inspiration in you, as it seems that you might need a few more vapor centric ideas to fill out the 'shelves' in your store.

firstly, i'll redo the link i posted above as it no longer works for some reason - http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/supreme-vaporizer.317/page-15#post-47904

basically, its seems to be a 24mm male joint mated to an 18mm male joint. you could even do 24mm to 14mm, for those of us with smaller waterpieces.

my second idea is to make a larger diameter solo gong stem (14mm and 18mm), so that it can be used in the herbalaire. i have seen a few people try to modify their ha's in order to eliminate the ptfe mouthpiece from the vaporpath. you could have stems with different sized bowls, and/or different amount of holes like the solo stems (2, or 3, or 4 holes). please incorporate some sort of screen pinches too.

my last idea is for the vapocane. can you make an adaptor/bowl that is actually designed to work properly with the vapocane. as it is now, i need to put the screen in the joint itself, which doesn't leave much room for anything else. if you put the screen in its designated spot the vapocane cant produce the clouds i am looking for. so the adaptor/bowl needs to be shorter in length, and have screen pinches.

i think there are a lot of good ideas in this thread and i am sure that there are others who would love to see them come to life! let us know how your progressing, glassblowing is certainly not easy.
