O_O sounds interesting. I'd try acrylic if I were you, but if you can work glass jump on it. If they turn out ok, I'd buy two pair, but they'd have to be the large size for the 75 I'm setting up.

Sounds cool!
Work up a prototype and I'll take a look! A lily pipe at $15 would be very generous.

can you do a flared outlet and tapered inlet? I'd be interested in a couple pairs if so...

i was in the medal works program at KU so i know my way around a torch and im sure i can find some one for advice..... (start w/ softer glass and lower temps and work up) im going to try and get as close as possible to the ADA ones... also ill make a few post them (first come first serve) if they work im might try and sell some more (higher quality and more $$).. so for 15$ you get a set but you also have to tell me how they are ... ill flare them but im not so sure about tapering.. (i guess if i heat it stretch it and then cut on the stretch and flame polish it might work) i still have to buy a glass tube cutter,compressed graphite sticks (for shaping), and the glass tubing...

for the inlet i was going to just do 180degree bend and then close the end and use my diamond bits to put a bunch of holes in it (maybe have some fun and do a cool spiral pattern)

I would be interested if you do some!
