Since being turned onto the gvg, I'm pretty sold on the whole concept. However I'm a little let down aesthetically by the piece. Having access to a number of local talent as far as glass blowing is concerned, i thought I'd start this thread to solicit ideas from y'all for a custom blown piece.

I'd utilize the concept behind the gvg, with a removable piece for the bowl, and using health stones for screen and heat shield thing. Other than that, I'm open.

So yeah, anything, ideas for color and decoration, added functionality, ease of use and cleaning, geometry that will affect the inter phasal composition of the vapor to better facilitate astral travel, protective qabalistic seals and sigils to invoke beneficial entities, I'm down. Whatever's cool with me. Preferably it needs to be practically applicable within a three dimensionally manifesting universal reality, but hey, be creative.

Hey Null,

I've always been a huge fan of the "Helix" pipes and attachments, I don't think I've ever coughed once from smoking "Tobacco" products in them, I think something like this would be great in a vaporizer because you could cool the smoke and then finish the hit with the "SteamRoller" carb.

Hears a link Helix Website

Best of luck mate

I love this question! A piece of glass with lots of colors, contrasts, swirls that will come to life when you get that first hit..........I love that experience. My first dedicated dmt bowl for changa was rainbow friz with a tight twist through the middle.......wish I had not broke it. If you can make your own GVG and have the glass skills to mix and match colors and styles, I'd say go nuts and make them and test them repeatedly until you find the one that's perfect.

I don't have the glass skills- although taking a class would be an idea- there's just a thriving blown glass/cannabis well... industry here to tap into.

But yeah, you get it.

I would say something more like the common glass weed pipe, make it super thick and place some round glass chunks around the edge to make it simple to set down without it tipping over. The removable top would stick up higher so the chamber would be more of a chamber.

I would also recommend having at least a clear "viewing window" so you could still see the vapor, which to me is at least slightly important.

One thing I wish the GVG had was greater volume so that one pull would really be enough to sufficiently cool everything and hold it for an effortless one or two hit.

Sorry, not being particularly creative here - more practical.

I have a wooden VG which is great as far as the vaping bit is concerned. My only criticism is that the stem on the pipe is quite short so you're getting the vaped spice too hot.

I add about 9" of clear PVC hose at the mouth piece end. This is plenty to cool the vapor and you can see the smoke coming through too. I never get that 'burnt plastic' taste that people mention.

It would be great to have a long (even adjustable) section of widish clear stem that bent slightly upwards so it's easy to view.

I personally am an avid collector of functional glass art. My mind immediately goes to a super heady DMT pipe, maybe like these (these are made for "tobacco".

If you could get a solid concept down for function I would be very interested in getting custom work. As for function I have a few ideas of my own. I think a decent size 4-hole diffuser would work best. It gives a good amount of percolation but won't clog easily and will not build residue as fast as say a honeycomb. But honestly, a dry pipe would not be a big drawback for me. In fact that might be better. I think a banger hanger with the healthstone built in would look awesome and function great.

As for colors and art that will be a personal matter. I think sacred geometry would make a lot of sense. My friend has the seed of life sandblasted on the front of his rig. I have also seen cool sacred pendants and marbles which could be implemented onto a pipe. Honestly there are so many techniques and options this part is pretty open ended. Are any talented artists on board with this?

Thanks for the idea, something I have often thought about. Can't wait to see if it unfolds.

All awesome ideas! Thanks



Oh man, yes! I've seen some that have tiny little hyperspace worlds fractally tessalating around inside, to have a couple/few inset...oh yeah!


I have one guy on board for this, he's pretty good at making complex pieces, but it would be awesome to see other members ideas here! Thanks ya'll!

Just thought I would share a picture of a cool piece. Maybe could be implemented? I think its a very difficult technique.

I have so many ideas so have reached out to a few glass blowers I know. We will see what gets turned out.
