Jesus Christ Gnome... Teach me your ways! Please. What's the secret to getting such amazing glass.

Click to expand...

save ur $ homie and dont be scared to spend a lot on one piece! none of my tubes r 1000$...some pretty close though!

EDIT... i buy A LOT of glass from head shops,randomly snag things from ALT when they have somthing i like and worth buying...i must admit that they are a bit over priced...

EXAMPLE: i paid $600 for my circ to circ toro with some worked rasta colors from a shop,im sure a lot of u have seen it here... circ to circ toros on ALT price for $750..

I do like that Micro Collab... Alot better then the cheap and poorly molded copper. Seriously, a kilo of extremely pure copper costs $10. That's $10 for a single kilo that any of us cold buy. What do you think Poplars?

yeah but how much do you think it would cost in effort and materials to bond pure copper to glass? to make something that amazingf? the cost is completely warranted to me, but luckilly they're slowly going down in price for the inlines and shit, in a few years I could see them being a bit more reasonably priced. as they are rather new...

I'd say it largly depends on the bud.... my outdoor chitowns sour kush compared to it's own HIGH grade bubble hash, I prefer the high of the bud.

but if I was making the hash oil out of the same bud that'd be a different story... I say that's a bad idea because if you have hella chronic bud you should smoke it, if you have hella chronic hash it should be a celebratory thing, not an every day thing imo.

My thinking is that its not like bud where with time it cures to become better. Im not sure on this but wouldnt the oil degrade faster..? So Ive been smoking alot, trying to get the most out of it. I must say out of all styles of hash I make. I always go back to bho.. really high

It's funny because everybody is making a profit and it makes you wonder how much it was ORIGINALLY sold for. These are one of a kind pieces so lowered prices for bulk doesn't apply.... Ooh I'm into this discussion again. Much love Verde for making this thread! Can't rep you again yet. Sorry.

That's invariably true. Well said. It's something I've always loved about free trade. A item always has a different worth to a different person. I'm being slightly foolish in that sense by saying it shouldn't cost that much. X^D

Alright so the first pic was taken a few year's ago, my collection has def grown alot since this was taken, im just not going to take the time to get all my glass together.




Illadelph Hashpipe

Sr. Verde said:

i have some bubble hash, and a thick keif disc just stashed away for when buds are tight

It will happen eventually. I think. Maybe not. I don't know

200-225 an oz is really good, and I'm not running out any time soon

Click to expand...

Yeah....so....I grow it........and I'm not running out any time soon....LOL

And you're right...no reason it cost so much...with materials you're looking at no more than $10,probably less, for just your basic straight tube....and I've seen the "electroformed" (coated with copper) tubes in person at my local heady shop....not really that cool to me....they look like someone shit all over the tube....IDK....just not my style.

i think im choping down my ladies in like 10 days..wont have my own buds till summer is pretty much over,long ways away..but atleast i get to try outdoors this year!

If you're choppin in ten days how the hell won't you have bud till then.....you bury it in the backyard for your cure???LOL

nah,what i ment was i wont have my own buds (once this harvest is gone) till end of summer..

Yeah, but everyone's gotta make a living. Everyone does it some how, and it's balanced out

No problem man I'm glad you guys took off with this thread!

The Cryptkeeper said:

No today though huh? So the most a person should really pay seems to be $450.

Should a bong really ever cost $4000? Sure this looks cool...

But why is that price necessary?

Click to expand...

Thats an electroformed piece.... They submerse the glass in a liquid, with negative and positive currents hooked up to COPPER plates, then the copper moves from the plates, and is transferred through the medium ONTO the glass... electroformed copper. That's why it's sooo much money, but personally I don't find electroformed copper attractive in glass I'd much rather SEE that crystal clear expertly worked glass scientifically designed to get me high

I feel you on this, though you are not considering the COST of the electroforming process.... WHO does it, where is the equipment, does the glass company maintain it themselves?

If not, thats paying the technician/repair guy/ AND artist, then either the company PAYING for the equipment, or PAYING the company that has it for use PLUS that companies upkeep fees...


It all gets rather expensive, and the more people you involve, the more checks you have to fill out, and all of this gets included in the final price PLUS profit for the glass company and employees.


But, yeah, not worth it.

Check some of these out though... Only bong I'd spend $4,000 on (if I had that to spend )

http://www.illadelphonline.com/products.html#
