Yes, Elev8 Premier can make a lot of custom glass.  Just give them a call or place your order at any one of our locations!

Yes, the heater in all of the Elev8 desktop models are made from the same super strong, time tested heater.

These are made the same way any other faceted item is made.  It all comes down to how the piece is held.  This can be a clamp or a wax.

YES!  the transaction takes place between the buyer and the seller.  The sell will take payment thought their preferred way.  Elev8 just creates a home where we hope buyers of one type of art can find another type of art and mix it up, while helping us all grow

1/4 inch is about the least one would want it to be.  The thicker the better, so the angles can get deeper.

Dichro is metal, it will stretch on the glass differently.  Opal is a small additive stone, it will sporadically lie in the glass.  Dichor also has more of one color that can fade.  Opal will change color at angles.

No, the heater on the Elev8 desktop vaporizers like the Silver Surfer, Super Surfer and Da Buddha have in reality a small spot that actually get super hot.  This spot will also radiate out further up and down the heater, but it is about 3/8 inch that gets hot.

In the image below there is a heater that is about 4 years old on the LEFT.  The new heater on the right as you can see glows pretty much the same.

The heater will either work at 100% or it will not work.  The heater will runs its life full until it can no longer work.  This can be from 3-15 years with most heaters lasting to about 7-9.

If you feel your heater is not getting hot enough, this could be an issue of your heater sitting too low in the heater cover.

Cleaning the grinder with alcohol should not affect the powder coating at all.
