can i make pipes and such on a lynx?

[TheGlassTree]

so i hear this alot.... just wanted to toss up a pic or two of what some of the possibilities of what can be done on a lynx.... first attempt at a bong today...i think it came out ok....should have made it a little taller though i think...and maybe have not made it on a point at the mouthpiece...but live and learn... used 30mill med.
The bubbler i used a section of periwinkle tube pull also done on the lynx...it was a small pull pretty much just enough to make that section...clear tube with periwinkle lines drawn on melted in and sleeved and pulled out..

[dorkeedude]

Now let's see someone make a pipe on the Cricket. C'mon!

[TheGlassTree]

Show me the cricket... I'll make ya the pipe!

[hippi]

dang are you kiddin me! those were on the lynx!!! ok im ordering the lynx over the cheetah tomorrow!! good thing i waited sending my order today and saw this tonight! thanks! peeps keep the pick comming this thread is exactly what us bigginers need! i think a lot of new starters think twice about the lynx cause of its size but seeing the actual work that comes off of it rather then just readin a post of what it can do is 100x better! thanks again

[TheGlassTree]

glad you like the work!!! im always hesitant to post, i see so much great stuff on this sight it makes me think my stuff is junk...

[TheGlassTree]

Sweet the bong just sold less the 6 hours out of the kiln and I have an order for another!!!!! So awesome!!!

[hashmasta-kut]

i had my friggin lynx for less than a month, and im tossin' it!


lol, no , just jesting ya, its an excellent torch, in my limited experience, but i finally got word today i can buy my brand new phantom, so thats coming in a week or so , and i got an eager local buyer for this cute lynxy.

[RamblezMarblez]

Neato!

[TheGlassTree]

Congrats on the phantom!!!! I'm sure you'll love it!

dont want to hijack but here is the last one I made with the lynx http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/740/dscf0913.jpg all made with 32 heavy wall ,about 7 inches tall , gtt torch all the way ;) I just can't imagine what a viper can melt LOL

[Uriel]

^^ thats sickasfuck!
Beautiful complimentary colours too!

[Clear_dome]

thanks , the shape is not super good but I was trying to see how big I can go with a lynx and I think I can make much larger piece with it , just have to make it section by section.

there is some months my foot pedal valves broke (I have a phantom) so I got no other choice than using only my center fire (the lynx part of the phantom) . I first told to all my friends that I will have to make pendants for some times cause I did'nt thought I was able to make pipe with it . As my valve was stuck at the custom , I decide to try to make small pipes with the lynx . I end up making 20mm sleeved with 32mm all heavy wall pipes (like 10mm thick wall) ,so I thought I should try to make inline bub with it and I made like 3 or 4 of them pretty easily . I cant wait to fininaly get my valves , I will rage the phantom like never before ;)

I asked Danny Parker that question about 7 years ago when I bought a Lynx, and he pulled out some crazy double bubblers he had made.
Nate Miers also has some crazy work done on a lynx.
I dont have links to the pictures, but hopefully one of those guys will chime in.
its all about heat base. . . . .

[Clear_dome]

Baker make those (http://www.glasspipes.org/Img229349_one_for_size_reference_Img2293.asp) with 50x5 and a lynx ....really well made if you ask me

[Uriel]

I knew buying a lynx was the best investment I would make! Now I need to get off the dual oxy gen's and onto bottled oxy!

[Din]

Right you are blade. Remember when Danny posted that massive tube pull he did on a Cheetah? Amazing.

[TheGlassTree]

Cleardome if your foot pedal is broken why don't you use y connectors on your hoses to bypass the need for the pedal? Then you could use your phantom like I was a two stud instead of a four stud?

[TheGlassTree]

Like it was a two stud.... Damn typos... =)

[hashmasta-kut]

ya silly. some people run four port phantoms y-d all the time. :)

scott is one of my shopmates and teacher, he makes some insane shiz on that lynx i sold him. too funny, cause he laughed about the size when he first saw it. before the gtt he was on a cc+, now the carlisle is very lonely.

[Swampy]

Glass Tree your bong looks good.

[Lub]

yo clear dome i like how the bowl goes infront of the inline instead of up. i've never seen that really

[Clear_dome]

thanks , I dont remember have seing that too ...it is not super centred tho ... but it seem to work great , I love how the water travel inside but it was a bite harde to make

yeah I thought about it a bite too late ...but it was great to learn how to use the max out of my lynx

[TheGlassTree]

Thanks swampy! I sold it yesterday.. =)

[TheGlassTree]

gives new meaning to Billabong.... i did not inhale....yeah right!

[mouseclone]

That is as pipe is as big as he is - That's what she said.

oh yea this is awsome. im gettin a lynx for my girl asap... that way i can use it and she cant get mad at me spending the money on myself...

[Genone]

This thread is making me think big with my lynx, can't wait till I can make some tubes and bubblers, time will tell...

[VED]

I'm so glad to see this thread. I was just thinking the other day that a tread should be started with what can be made on a lynx since so many of us have one. Such an under estimated torch. Thanks for getting this going makes me want to make a price to add.

[TheGlassTree]

No problem guys! I really feel that the lynx is and under estimated torch... I always think its funny when people say they have maxed out their torches and they are still working small... Lets see some more pics people!! :)

[Rowdy]

Rage that little sucka wide open and it can amaze, all lynx owners should make a piece and post. I would say that that the lynx is one of the most important designs that GTT has! This is my torch of preference and wouldn't hesitate recommending to a beginner.

[hashmasta-kut]

a beginner needs no more. i had a lynx for 2 months till the phantom i ordered was ready, and now i have the phantom its hardly used beyond the lynx capacity yet. shit when i fire it up i usually overmelt shit still :D

[TheGlassTree]

Hahaha! I did the same thing when I humped on the delta from the phantom! =)

[B.C. Creations]

the key is turning ur line presures up. way beyond the reccomended psi. i run my oxy at 60psi and propane at 30 psi. you will get more flame range. then its just heat base.

does this work for all gtt torches? i rock the cheetah and run the reccomended 20psi oxy and 5psi propane..i still havent used the torch to its full potential yet i dont think..well havent cranked the valves all the way open anyway...

[B.C. Creations]

yup i use those pressures for my mirage and can tell when its not set that high. i dont get my usual flame range when its turned down

[Byrne]

Is that safe?
