The tubing we sell on our site is a direct replacement for the SSV. The tubing is made in the USA and the Volcano’s tubing is not. The SSV tubing does work.
Looking to upgrade a Volcano more, look at the bag set up, it will save you money in the long run!
They all just move around and make for more cleaning.
The little ball, or pearl do the same thing, they move the oils up and down, while holding extra heat. The small marble on top is there to just have fun in our point. It causes more turbulence moving the oils around more. We guess that is the purpose of all of them, to move the oils around to get a bigger hit.
The last large one allows the top to seal, allowing the air to flow properly.
Much like the same as boro. But because quartz melts at such a much higher temperature there are not a lot of minerals that work in quartz to make it colors. Some will fume the quartz
Opals are not a perfect 33 COE. Therefor sometimes they can crack in glass, even years later. This is why Elev8 Premier rarely uses them, and if they do, it goes on a piece that can come off, if it were to crack.
But they are always used because we love the sparkle!
Dicro can be burned out. When this happens it looks more white like snow rather than that super shiny metal flake. It takes skill to get the glass hot, but not too hot.
This all comes down to what company makes it. While some, colors may look the same, they are very different.
It also comes down to if they start with cullet (clear glass). Some start with sand. Some use electric heaters and some use gas. This all comes down to cost.
As of now the best way is for them to call Elev8 Distribution and ask who is near them. We do not have a great way on our site.
