Hell, even in the piece you have (or one similar to it), if you were able to turn the bottom of the inside of that joint receiver into a bowl or significant inward taper, you could stuff it with a volcano liquid pad and drop the ceramic fitting on top of it and voila! Or something like that...in my non-professional opinion
Anyway, just wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed seeing your art...and your glass is really great. Keep up the good work
Thanks!
If the GVG uses a standard 14/20 or 14/24 joint, it should fit in just about any glass on glass piece. I have a friend who makes clear glass on glass sherlocks very similar to the GVG. I'm not sure how big the real ones are but his are pretty huge, about 10" tall, with a large kickstand coming off the bowl end. I mentioned it the other day and he said he'd never heard of a GVG, but the shaping is very similar, right down to the "maria" in the neck.
I'd like to try it but I don't think they sell the ceramic disks individually, they want you to buy the whole shebang. So it's not something I can easily add to the pieces I sell, a GVG owner would have to use their own. But if you know where I can get the disks by themselves, please do let me know! I'd be interested to try one, and see if it's much different then steel wool alone. I'm just not $100 interested.

Amazing artwork Crazyhorse! The first rave I ever went to in my life was in Madison Back in 1992. A childhood friend of mine still djs out there, he goes by Adeptus. The raves back then were all hardcore techno/acid house parties...stuff like dj hyperactive.
I did about 6 or 8 flyers for this promoter around 2000-2001, and had a good time with it. But then the cops apparently started cracking down on the rave scene in Madison. Every time someone would try to throw one, they'd show up and shut things down. So pretty soon the promoter guy moved off somewhere else, and that was the end of it for me. I don't know if they're still being that harsh about it there, or if it was a temporary thing. But I'd bet things are probably back to normal by now.
Anyway thanks! I wasn't able to see your video, the link just took me to a list of recent youtube posts.
