Do we test baller covers on surfers to test them with rubies in it before they make it to the shops? We had one defective one where the rubies were passing through the cover into the wand. Maybe doing a full test would help with catching defects!

The heater cover goes through many tests.  Sometimes as a new product is developed tests are not seen until there is an issue.  Then another check is added to the overall testing checklist. If there is ever a bad product, swap it out and let them know this is one of the firsts, and that …

Are there colors of glass that are super rare and or extinct? I know terps is one that rarer in the glass world, and if I heard right its almost extinct? How is that possible?

“I bought a SSV from you guys about 3 years ago and it just stopped working.. The ceramic element seems to be loose and will not heat up. I haven’t found much on the internet for troubleshooting. I was wondering if you guys have any tips or have run into this issue before. The red light goes on when I turn the knob but the element doesn’t heat up at all. It has never been dropped or roughly handled. Any information would be greatly appreciated.”
