The Omerta line of Dime Bags also incorporates activated carbon to keep the smell down.

What is an ice catch or ice pink?
There are many different styles, but essentially an ice catch is part of the water pipe that allows ice to be put in without it hitting your downstream or percs. The pinch style is probably the most popular, where the glassblower puts in a few indentations near the mouthpiece that will hold the ice up. Another style is the doughnut or ring ice catch, which is literally just a doughnut or thick ring-shaped piece of glass that functions the same way. Putting ice in your water pipe really cools off the smoke or vapor!
How do glassblowers handmake color? Or how is handmade color made in glass?
The blower will start with clear or some color they love.
If the blower is starting with clear and do it completely from scratch they will add minerals to the glass and mix it. This takes a long time to do. Many times glass sits in a crucible for days so the minerals can mix in the glass. There is also off-gassing from some of the minerals so it is best to do it in a well-ventalated area.
Many blowers will mix a few colors together making a color they want. This is done by just mixing and mixing by hand in the flame. This produces a small amount of one off-color.
Can we make a custom glass doob tube?
Yes, we can make a custom doob tube. It would be much like a test tube. We can order parts to have threads, or we can use a cork to seal it. This costs $100 an hour to produce.
How are free floating pieces put on glass without it all melting together?
Very carefully.
The blower will use what are called braces to hold the glass while they work it.
If you are referring to a spinning marble, the “hing” is heated and moved so as not to melt the marble and holder together. The HING is usually an uptake tube.
What is the difference between raw Chinese and raw American boro?
Glass is made from sand. The main difference is where the glass is made from. In this industry, the preferred glass is Shotte glass and it is made in Germany.
Borosilicate glass made in the USA is called US 33 and many blowers will not use it as it is manufactured with some kind of coating.
What is a boveda pack used for?
Boveda is used to help maintain the proper humidity of your dried cannabis. They help a lot during the curing process!
In dry areas, it keeps your herb moist, and in moist areas of the country it helps to keep your herbs dry.
WHY BOVEDA IS DIFFERENT
All humidification products are not created equal, and we know it’s difficult to cut through all of the misinformation out there. Boveda is different from the rest because it covers all of your bases. Need more humidity? Less? Are you just lazy and don’t want to refill or activate anything? Or maybe you want to use what the pros are using. No matter your humidity needs, Boveda can help. Below are some simple points which we believe will help consumers (and retailers) understand the important differences between the various types of humidification on the market.

Elev8r screen material. Even if you choose the “all-glass” option, the quartz heater still has a metal screen? Why not make both screens glass? What type of metal is the screen made of? What are the advantages of a metal vs glass screen?
The quartz part has a metal screen in it because it works. We did try all glass or all quartz for the heater, but the glass is thick and absorbs the heat, in turn burning the herbs if they touch it. The metal screen does not absorb as much heat making the unit work with less chance of burning your herbs.
The screen is made from stainless steel.
We have customers that do remove the screen to give them an all-glass pathway. As much as we want to have this we feel we must have the screen in the quartz part for 90% of the people that do not care about all glass.
