When we take a pet into our home they quickly become part of the family, essentially a best friend. Losing your best friend is always a tragedy and choosing how to memorialize them should not be. For your pleasure, cremation glass art can be created to carry their memory. Our blowers take the utmost care of your loved one when encasing them forever in a beautiful glass piece. The only hard p

   We took a look at the DynaVap M 2020 edition, comparing it to our  ELEV8R Glass Vehicle, and we found a lot of things to like about both units. The DynaVap M 2020 is a portable metal vaporizer shaped similarly to a baseball bat, with a "captive cap" that clicks to let you know when it has reached optimal vaporization temperature, and it requires an external heat source l

  Being an Elev8 Doll is awesome all times of the year but on 420, we party. A party to celebrate us, who live in a higher state of mind, body and spirit. 420 is a day that we love to celebrate together with others. Elev8 Glass Gallery has been having these celebrations for a number of years now. Unfortunately, last year we had to cancel our festivities due to the pandemic. This year fortu

  We spoke to Bubbles the Butcher about his career as a glassblower and the economics involved in selling your own glass art. Bubbles the Butcher's love for glass started when he received a call from his brother during a time when Bubbles was working in Cooke City, Montana. His brother had just started learning to blow glass from artist Matt Marchand in Denton, Texas and Bubbles the Butcher

We spoke to Kai Hogen, the brains behind Burning Snow Flameworks, about how the glassblowing industry has evolved since he first started blowing glass in 1997. In that time Kai was ski bumming in Bozeman, Montana and heavily followed the scenes around jam bands like the Grateful Dead and Phish when he wasn't skiing. He eventually developed a crush on a girl whose boyfriend was an apprentice f

   Sometimes you find yourself on the go and you just need to consume cannabis in a convenient and portable way. You don't have your Sidekick Portable Vaporizer on you, so what's the next best option? For some, the next best option is to roll a cannabis cigarette or "joint"; after all, a pack of rolling papers is small and easy to carry. You can throw a pack of papers in your backpack

We talked to Pyro Glass about his long career in glassblowing and the many ways in which the glass industry has evolved over the years. Pyro Glass is something of an OG cannabis glassblower, starting around 1998-99 when the cannabis glass industry was still in its infancy. In that time glassblowers often used colors that were obtained from scrap pieces of glass, and in Pyro Glass' case

  We talked with metalsmith and glassmith Adrienne DiSalvo, better known as Babedrienne, about how her background in metalsmithing led her to create amazing works of glass art. Babedrienne began working with steel metals when she was young, learning at an early age that she had a fascination with fire and its many applications in both industry and art. She attended college, majoring in metal

 We did an in-depth comparison between the Arizer Extreme Q and our Super Surfer Vehicle, and while we found a lot to like about both units it was clear that one vaporizer came out on top for its superior versatility. Both of these vaporizers are designed to be used with traditional whip attachments as well as attachments for filling vapor bags, and both units include the necessary parts

For some cannabis users flavor is one of the most important aspects of the cannabis experience, and during those times when you just can't get to your SSV, back-rolling a joint can be an effective way to enjoy the flavor of your cannabis and to minimize the amount of paper smoke that you are inhaling.  To back-roll a joint you first have to start with the paper in the correct position, w

The Elev8 Easy Valve Whip Adapter for the Volcano Vaporizer is a convenient way to connect an SSV-style whip system and a water pipe adapter to your Volcano Vaporizer. This will allow you to run a hose from your Volcano to a water pipe or other attachment if you have the proper Water Pipe Adapter for your rig, or you can even use a simple glass mouthpiece. The Whip Adapter connects to
