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.
Soft glass does not have the thermal expansion abilities as borosilicate glass. Changing temperatures fast on soft glass will cause it to crack.
Yes, crushed opal can be mixed with nearly any color, but transparent are better. Many times the crushed opal is sleeved over color.
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.
Try to inhale slower with the Terp Typhoon or any banger for that matter. The faster you inhale the more oils will potentially suck up the neck. You can also use a little heat on the neck to let the oils heat up and drip back down if you inhale too fast.
Elev8 Premier does make Butter Color and Lined Tubing for glass artists as well as hand made joints.
The idea came from a piece of glass that sat for maybe 2 years. Then the idea came and as a kid at about 6 he made the name up. This was the time to combine childhood with his art. The Ferankshanaw is a story every time.
Yes, Elev8 Premier can make many styles of glass blunts.
Yes, the DBV comes in silver or black only. If you want color, the SSV is the ultimate way to go. It also has many more features than a DBV. The SSV also can be made with any graphic in our Wave Rider Series.
We do that often for making horns. This is not a product that we will make to sell. Butter is only made in tubing as of now.
