A ratacello is mostly line work, and a filacello fills the clear with color inbetween.

Do you plan on making more Glass Artist collabs for the SSV?
The more we have the better. If there is ever a glass artist that wants to participate in making a custom SSV, we encourage them to get a hold of STEVE on his IG.
Why is the SSV EOK not one full piece of quartz
The SSV requires a very specific ID of glass for the heater cover and this is only possible with boro. Having the 10mm joint also allows the same dish to be used on the SSV and the SUP
Why is the base of the EOK Boro instead of quartz like the rest of it?
The ID of the heater cover for the SSV is very specific and therefor there needs to be a way to swap to quartz or any other heater cover design that may evolve.
Could a customer trade in a non Elev8 banger for an Elev8 banger using the banger trade in program?
YES! The goal is to get the crap off the streets and replace it with our Elev8 high quality bangers.
Can Elev8 Premier make custom bubbler with percs?
Yes, bubblers with percs are not a problem for Elev8 Premier to make
What causes color striking glass to change color
Many times it is the silver that is added, or crystals in the glass need to form. Annealing will help the crystals to grow and give the desired color. Ruby by Northstar is an example of a striking red, while double amber purple is a striking color mostly done in the flame.
Why cant you use hot water to clean soft glass?
Soft glass does not have the thermal expansion abilities as borosilicate glass. Changing temperatures fast on soft glass will cause it to crack.
Can you mix UV colors with crushed opal?
Yes, crushed opal can be mixed with nearly any color, but transparent are better. Many times the crushed opal is sleeved over color.
I have a 2007 silver surfer. Can I upgrade to the elev8r wand and spherical cover?
Yes, the beauty of the SSV is that it can always be upgraded. A 2007 is better to have it sent in to upgrade the heater stand to the new spring tension style. The old style used spacers to compensate the variable ID of the heater cover that comes from Shotte glass with tolerance.
