Can you reuse wine bottles to make wine glasses?

yes you can.  The wine bottle is soft glass so it would not be able to be fire polished like what we can do for borosilicate glass, but there are contraptions out there to cut the top of the bottle so it is a cup.  If you want a really dope custom glass, see what we have here.

How do i know what glass is best for herb or for concentraes?

Really it all comes down to what you like best.  Typically an herb tube is larger than a dab rig.  But either works for either.

One thing I like to consider is how close is the bowl or banger to my face when I use it.  Getting a waterpipe or rig that you love, is all you need.

Why are some quartz bangers $35 and others $160 if its all made out of quartz?

This really all comes down to labor.  Quartz bangers made in the USA are made by Americans, and Americans cost about 10x more than a laborer in China or India.

Also, the thicker the quartz, the more expensive it will be.

Other things that can add to the cost are:

  • Is the dish beveled?
  • Is it small or large, thick or thin?
  • Do the welds look clean?

How many SSV prototypes were made before the perfect surfer was created?

There were two basic designs that popped into Steve’s head.  The angle just felt right to him, so he went with that angle.  The first prototype is still running at Elev8 Glass gallery one Paonia Street in Colorado Springs, make sure to check it out if you are down there.

The SSV is not a prototype anymore, but it is always in refinement to stay up to date.
