How are decals put on glass?

Very carefully.

We use distilled water and soak the decal until it separates from the backing.

We carefully place the decal on the glass and then make sure there is no water spots.

We let it dry for a day and then make it at 1100 degrees.

The silver decals we use are made of platinum

What is “Rosin” or SHO (Solvent-less Hash Oil)?

Rosin or SHO is gathered from pressing cannabis flowers and extracting the oils that are pressed out.  Many believe this to be the cleanest.

A more simple way and more affordable way is to vaporizer your flower with a vape.  We call this raw dabs.

What is “Live Resin”?

See our blog on live resin as well as our concentrate guide

Live resin is a cannabis concentrate. It is manufactured using only fresh cannabis plant material. The newly harvested plants are frozen to a sub-critical temperature throughout the entire extraction process.

Generally, cannabis is allowed to dry and cure before undergoing any extraction process to obtain concentrates. However, the drying process takes a toll on the plant’s terpenes. Prolonged oxygen exposure, sunlight, physical agitation, and heat all further degrade the terpenes, but with the extraction process for live resin, the newly harvested plants are instantly frozen, which dramatically helps preserve the plant’s terpenes. The live resin keeps the aromatic fragrance of the plant and its varied flavors.

Why are some glass joints grounded out while others are not?

This is also new to the industry.  The joint is ground to make a perfect fit.   Because this industry is not pure science a joint with a slight leak is ok.  Many hand made joints will never be ground as many of the blowers lack the equipment to properly grind a joint.

We find a non-ground joint to almost be better for this industry as if it is too perfect of a grind, the joint and stick to the other joint if pushed together too hard.

 

 

Why do I not see water pipes with carbs on them anymore?

With glass on glass water pipe and slider pipes, your joint where you pull your bowl from becomes the carb! This actually works better as the fresh air with comes through the water to push the smoke up and out into your lungs instead of a slipstream from the side adding in air. This will also humidify the air coming in and makes the hit smoother.

If you ever want a water pipe with a carb in it, the crew at Elev8 Premier can make it for you.
