what company has the cheapest glass tubing and rod? so far I found ust to be the cheapest...was just looking at ways to pinch my pennies... :bouncy:
thanx

UST is a good choice for the money. As with all things the cheaper you go the more your sacrificing some critical aspects of the glass (Chinex). SO in the long run The absalute cheapest might cost you. UST suits me on a lot of applications. It floats in my boat.

180 for a case of 4mm 38 tube is right about 180 a case from colored sands too. even if they cost me a few bucks more in glass, i save it in shipping as we're only a ups zone away. so who, what, and where is UST? never heard of it.

I am confused...should I be following the acrobat older price list or the new one you can download on the site? I see that instead of $72 a case for the 26x4 it is now $88 for that case.

UST Glass sounds great, I've heard a lot of positive stuff about them. Also, check out Euromax. Their glass is cheap, and it's totally functional for prodo. I wouldn't try to blow a goblet top out of it or anything, but for w/r or i/o spoons it's fine.
