What is the purpose of a build a waterpipe compared to a waterpipe that is already ready to smoke out of?

You get to have fun making the water pipe how you want.  If you want it taller, do it, if you want more percs, do it.  This is for someone that loves to change their experience often.

How do artist such as Liberty Glass do such deep sandblasting on the pieces?

using a lot of time.  They use a thick vinyl to lay the images on the glass and then sandblast them or Graal them.    It can take up to 30-60 minutes to cut deep into the glass.  This is a type of cold working.

Is it possible to stack multiple layers of dichro on top of each other? (i.e. layer of dichro, layer of clear glass, layer of dichro, etc.)

yep, anything like this is possible.  It would give some good depth into the glass for sure.  Many times a blower will layer dichro over color, but dichro can be lain on top of dichro for sure.

Is the color opaline just silver fumed glass? What makes it different than a silver fumed rod?

This is a trade secret to the manufacturer.  While it does seem to look like a great fumed piece of glass, we feel it is not fully the same;  There is some kind of another mineral in it that gives it a sheen.  Also, it does not fully work like clear fumed glass. We find …

What are the Dime Bags made of? And what is the best way to wash them

Yes you can wash a Dime Bag.  The bag is made from Hempster (Hemp and polyester).  The ratio is not known but we feel it is about a 10%-20% HEMP, and the rest is polyester. Steve is a founder of Dimebag’s and was the person to come up with the name Dime Bags for the …

What is a ruby insert?

The ruby inserts are a fairly new product and VERY pricy! They apparently are better at retaining heat and do not chazz like quartz often does over time.  But quartz only chazzes if you overheat it with containments.  This we feel is a gimmick and one would be better off getting a Silver Surfer with …

What colors are used to make the wood grain look when sandblasted? Are striking colors used?

Yes, many times a striking color like double amber purple, butterscotch and other similar colors are used.  They are then paired with blacks and browns.  The wood grain is usually a trade secret to the blower and how they mix it.

i just purchased Storz & Bickel Volcano Vaporizer Easy Valve Whip Adapter by Elev8 and curious if anyone has leaking issues around where the black volcano adapter meets the metal base, like there is too much pressure going through tube and comes out the other end. thanks

No, we have no issues with leaking.  There is the blue O-Ring on the Volcano Adapter that the Elev8 Adapter goes over.  This secures the two very well.
