    do you mean between the stem and main can? because for function, thats a bit too small almost, its a good thing thats a larger than average ball or it would suck up water, because the throat going up is a bit small. thats why they are so large usually, for function.

    what are those? small nubs? naw, i like em bigger. her style is more applicable to her flat bottomed units as well, i like the round bottom, very rarely do i flatten them, which would allow the diminutive stabilizers.

    I like the flat bottom and small nub feet. Give it a try on one unit. It would add more stability and improve the look imo.

    i have made some in the past. there is no stability issues the way i make them, and i prefer the round bottom at the time being, and dont like tiny feet either. if you want some flat bottomed ones you need to start making them like you want em.

    Your rigs tip backwards way easier than your sister's.... Just a thought....

    not the ones on the table i have. hers are just as tippy, i have two of hers and a bunch of mine. i havent had one complaint they were too tippy yet, and dont worry, i am constantly working on things such as optimizing stability

    one of the reasons hers could be more stable is the stem to can ratio is different. i make mine always much smaller, so the mouthpiece and stem is relatively heavier on my units typically. she has much larger bodies, so they weigh the rest down a bit easier, but like i say, its not something i am finding with the models i have present. she curves her stems differently too, so they are more forward.

    i tried my sisters foot and body style for awhile, i like to keep trying new things thats for sure. i am progressing at my own plodding mindlessly methodical pace.
