remember when people just smoked and that was cool?
its not that healthy.
haters hate, basters elate!
homemade AT stringers and tube over and under star white. i had a cool millie to put on here but i fucked it up, it was weird, it all bubbled like really freaky when i removed it, could it have been soft glass? never seen boiling like that b4.

......o.o.... Wooow
super clean ass lines
wowowow those lines are gettting squeaky clean!! sick sig mib and baller opal!
:heart:
whats the mib on the back? or is that the one that freaked out on ya
i like the color that is behind the retti on that one.
why are the units stems so short? wouldn't you want a fair amount of water? or is the water just a quick chill? why don't you just pulll down a 14mm male to get the thin diameter of the vacuum part, it might look a little cleaner
you dont need much water for vapor ya, just a touch takes massive amounts of harshness away. its not really for filtration like the usual use, mostly a touch of cooling and diffusion too prolly. i think the stems are short because it gives a good length to view the pad when using. i guess its also because its based on a small bubbler style my sister used to do that was really small and short, but its been kept short for the view for sure. too far way becomes akward.
i dont follow you on the pulling the 14mm male part down..? for what part of the unit, the curve?
yeah the curve, seems like it would be one less step...less steps=less time=more$$$$
ok i think i got you. you mean you can see my mediocre join between the new 10mm tube i put on the male for the curve section. yeah, i think i may just get better at that join. the drip tip male joints come on super thin stock, and its too thin to use for anything really. i used a few, and realized they kinda suck. so thin, they dont bend nice, and then weak too, so i take it off and replace it. seems prudent.
Nice units man, I can't wait for more :D
I like this one,
(godammn thats a big seal between the stem and the can.)
I love the FLAG milli

looks great kut those rettis are clean!
When you gonna make some new curves??
Yeah rettis improved 100% lookin great man!

I dig your design on these pieces, and I know they're keepin ya busy, but I strongly encourage you to do a nice piece with a different shape for the sake of keeping your sanity alone. Im on the verge of liquidating my prodo line myself on account it's literally driving me insane and eating away at my soul. You got the name, now show em what you're really made of bro! Make all kinds of different crazy pieces to stick them curves in and they'll go nuts over the stuff, promise.
Amen Alien.
Getting back to the titanium topic, I've been doing some more reading over the past few days, and with the exception of that link I found, i have been unable to find anything more about health risks associated with titanium, so I'm going to have to concede to HMK on this one.
Also, your retti's are looking very nice.
Yeah, Im down with the Ti if it isn't a daily thing, and yeah, nice progress on the retti's, took me forever of trying on my own and getting nowhere, then Lupe showed me a quick one ONCE and it was like "ok, I can do this now". Was going about it the hard way for so long and getting nowhere.
go crazy? not so soon as that i dont think. i worked at a cedar mill for over ten years, many years doing the same thing ten hours a day, so this glass thing is still very fresh. i am at a year and 3 months, and have only made the full units for about 8 or 9, and didnt make that many actually, as my real prodo is the curves. i must have made over a thousand of those, and somehow, i am still not bored of those. must have been the millions of board feet i handled, prepared me for a touch of monotony now and then. the way i keep it fresh, is i am always learning. even when i make the simplest thing, i always try to pay attention, learn and improve. i dont consider myself an expert at anything, even if i have practiced for years.Quote:

Alien, IMHO the original kut vape is THE CRAZY DESIGN and most others R simply trying to jump on the bandwagon w/ designs not well suited 2 the task at hand !!!
Of course they ALL LOOK similar ; THATS KINDA OF THE POINT
I also agree that throwing a kut curve on most ANYTHING would be a MAJOR increase in functionality but it's best to keep it OG Papa !!!
bless up,

#3 I threw a Kut Kurve on my GOG bubbler, the damn tobacco keeps falling out.
#4 I like Kut, he's a good shit, dude sent me a Ti plate w/wire wrap for nuthin, that's pretty classy in my book. Again, my posts were just encouragement with maybe a little friendly harassment. Kut's got some chops for being as new to this as he is, mad props to him.
Kut doesn't need fan clubbers coming on here blabbin, it's infantile. For the sake of his image, stay out of it, seems he's got enough haters.
Haters gonna hate, Kut's gonna Kurve, and the world keeps spinnin round and round.
Bottom line, what I really wanna say is, way to go man, you're progressing very well man!

Oh brother.... :rolleyes
When you gonna start talking crap about the functionality of J Lees curves? Cuz that will be some entertainment.
devols got mad skills, jlee does too and i dont think they would waste their time on this lol
But back to the subject @ hand, kut those new couple units are pretty boss. The one with the flag milli is good and looking clean, but the next two look like a little step up!
every seem the fro curves? he makes some with a little bottle with a with a cork half way through the curve that you can save the runoff...or what ever you guys call it
I got to test oil can #1 not too long ago. In my opinion the curve was too airy and there was too much diffusion. Taking dabs out of my hmk unit got me wayyy more medicated!Quote:

How much is one of those fine pieces of art gonna run me hmk??
And another thing you should hook up my homie with a curve so he
Can stop hitting me up when he gets off work at 7 in the morning. Lol
If you got one just laying around he would love pay you for it...
id like to hear more on how the shape of the curve makes for a better hit?? i dont see how..especially if lets say a HMK curve with a 14mm joint and a devol curve with a 14mm joint....either way the smoke is passin the same 14mm joint and the same 3 hole diffy... so i would think the better function part is gonna come from the oil rig its self...not the 9 or 12mm tube used for the curve.. cause if a curve has some kind of bend or restriction to"help" the function, the smoke still has to go thru the diffy which i feel zeros out the BETTER FUCTIONING CURVE idea..cause the actual fuction is comming from the rig..
nope wrong. the most effect on the flowpath is at the curve and the mouthpiece, as long as the internal diameters in a rig are all greater than those. smaller rigs in general are much nicer to hit too. i cant explain that fully, except maybe the vapor gets less diffused, and has a more dense flow thru in a smaller unit.

Hey, what is the wire for holding those plates made out of?
A year and three months?
My understanding has increased.
wow hmk your works looking sicker and sicker
i needs me a kutt rig...
What Kut is saying makes sense. The tighter diameter the curve the more suction pulling the smoke up the curve. I do feel as if one put a constriction at the end of their 14mm tube right before the flair it would function just as well as one that is 10mm up to the joint.
just as well in some respects, but not in reclamation properties
i hit the coolest unit with a curve from the 70's the other day, some old guy made it back in the day
how big a curve is it? i heard about some large bells and glass paddle setups. i didnt hear about them until after i had thought of my candy cane style idea, but thats besides the point. its cool others thought of it too. too bad they never made hundreds of them for others, people really like em, especially with the titanium swingarm part, which i'm sure the old guy in the 70s didnt have on his.
anyone catch the temp in hell today?
well sort of kato it felt a breeze and not so humid i think a front is moving in.
"invented that". I have seen it in head shops 15 years ago on plastic graffix bongs for hash. plenty of people can have similar ideas and adapt concepts. perhaps you have seen one before forgot and came up with it or not. any how, honestly,
its just the ti pad swing thing now interesting
post some pics of the wraps i NEED to see close ups 4 real!!!
make with the pics i see you reading
