packabowl - your work is definitely improving , stick with it . Do yourself a favor and switch to that liquid cylinder sooner than later , those compressed k tanks are only worth it as a backup . Plus the liquid dewars make you work more often so your not losing oxy from pressure build up venting off . It will pay for itself in a week or so .
We recently got some of that Egyptian White Sand in pre made tubing to test out , along with amber/purple and red crayon tubing , pretty nice stuff . there should be a few others available in tubing from Northstar soon . Not sure if I read correctly , but that spoon in post #3469 I'm pretty sure the solid section is NS-129 Steel Wool .

When you get something out of the kiln w/ that sand white post it up please...

the description on the northstar site says 'aged ivory'...so I really want to see it on a sick piece!

just got a steal! (I think!) - Inline 18mm gong Zong Bubbler (NOT AC :( ) for 107 out the door.... seen similar pieces for 160~ at other shops today so I ran back and copped it. Chick said they just got it in, something like it being a prototype or test run by Zong... they actually tried to tell me it was the only one in the country but I have me doubts lol.... will get a pic in a bit when i go smoke :)

portland sounds like a dream land, aside from all the competition...
i'd love to see some of you work also man.

swish, i'd say 100 is a steal. I don't like the label, but other than that i always loved zongs... i've only bought one bong (grommet bong, before GonG took over) and it was squiggly like a zong... although i sold it and the kid broke it, i still kinda miss it at times for the sake of the memories.

damn i've spent allllllll day on IC mag, i gotta go bust out some prodo haha

I have an idea! Going to get a few different size corks, see if I can get a good 18mm cork and one to fit the mouth of the zong... some vape tubing...might be able to rig the inline to a tube lol...

I like that Zong inline!! I have a 8" tall zong bong that has some clear sections, the base is wrap and raked and so is a little section at the top. Ill try to get a pic of it on here.

its like an inline ashcatcher, except it just has a tube instead of gong to connect to a tube.

it's stemless, smoke goes from bowl, to a chamber of water, where it's force through that blue tube inside the clear tube, and forced out the diffuser slits and into the tube to your lungs ...

i like it... especially for only a hundred bucks! it's really smooth once you figure it out and you can get massive rips easily...very smooth :)

i was surprised how clean that fillacello was from 06, and it was windowed.. it seems like his recent ones have been sloppier? i don't follow his work to be honest though.

And oh yea u blow any toobs yet or do u not have that one thing u need to blow bongs?

i can hand spin a simple tube but my kiln isn't big enough so i could only anneal half and hang the other half out the kiln.

i've made a upline tube for myself that cracked b/c i didn't anneal it and a stemless carb bong (didn't wanna waste the gongs) that cracked b/c it wasn't annealed also.
