are you still on a midrange, James?
Yep im starting to push the amount of glass its able to heat all at once. After i get my shaping down well enough for sell. Ill have to start looking for bigger torches with a good surrounding flame. Im thinking gtt but i do love that premix center on the carlises. But thats a ways down the road.
i'm telling ya....if $ is an issue get the redmax upgrade. fuckers a beast (compared to the midrange).

Three more getting more of the shape i want but i started running into trouble my vases kept expanding and contracting on their own plus were filling up with what looked like smoke. Im using a swivel so i think my hose is to small.
smoke...wft? was it devit?
The smoke's probably water vapors from your breath. If there's no place for it to escape, water vapor expands and contracts as heated and cooled, causing the other thing.
It happened even when my blow hose was out of my mouth.
condensation in your tube perhaps?
If its cold and you heat it up rather quickly you can get quite a bit of condensation in the blowtube.
Doesn't matter if it happened when your blowhose was in your mouth or not if your breath was already in the piece.
It only happens when i blow the body of the peice
